I agree, none of them came across that well. ALW/CM said 100 times they wanted a streetwise kid with edge. Cut to about 5 alabaster-skinned posh boys at prep school music lessons/rugby etc. being called to read out their scroll in cut glass English and singing like Aled Jones! So not much sticking to the strategy there - and anyway the point about Oliver is that he is not streetwise and has to learn not to be taken advantage of, he is a pure child in a fairly rotten world.
My favourite Nancy was Nancy, confused she was cut, must have been her acting. I like the girl that got through at the end, beautiful with very curly hair and I like Jodie, think she could do well. Very difficult to tell, I didn't remember seeing some of the final 12 at all to date.
