Do the judges have a say in what the acts wear? I thought it was left to "assisstants". (Sinetta etc)

I agree. I found her jerky and 'limby'. Very uncomfortable to watch. I wondered if it was a self consciousness about height? She's a nice enough looking girl, but the stylists could have done far more with her.

If Simon's not careful, he'll do a Cassie with her and she'll age before our eyes.

Definitely. There were some desperately bad movers on Saturday's show, only Robert and 4Sure seemed to have any confidence in getting around the stage.

Ben and Dionne both appeared to be affected by a severe case of piles and constipation respectively but Leona was the most self-conscious and awkward of the lot IMHO. I'm making allowances for first night nerves and inexperience but she's going to have to improve her performances if she's to live up to the hype surrounding her voice.

Personally, to avoid any disagreements over the dress or the size of heels she wears I would like to see her performing naked next week
