I really, really hope she makes it to the final 12...she's my favourite out of all the females we've seen so far this year.

Also she chose a great song for her audition and she pulled it off so well.

I see. I don't read spoilers. My reason for saying it was not surprising is the obvious one - that she stood out as being rather special.

It would be nice if she goes through but I see her as too much of a threat on all levels. Very much likeable and the producers may have somebody else in mind.

Is Hannah the one who sang Merci ??

I think she has a fab voice! Bit of weird fashion sence, nd wears too much blusher but i like her!!

Yeah Kirst thats the one She's good aint she...

Looking at other pictures of her online, that appears to be the only picture of her like that. It's just a style.

So Hannah makes the top 24!

I'm so pleased, yet can't decide whether I'd rather see her or Diana make the live stages. Alexandra and Laura I'm sure about in Cheryl's category, but I just don't know who I prefer more - Hannah or Diana. Two very different styles indeed.

Anyhow, she's made it this far and is still going strong. I am just so thrilled for her.

I much prefer Hannah to Diana. Diana sings in a very affected manner, as if she is half-choking - I just can't take to that. The fact that she somewhat resembles that hideous Nikki creature from Big Brother makes it twice as hard to stomach her. I suspect she will be chosen, based on the whole 'looking for something different' thing. She won't win, though.

I am somewhat confused about the outcome for Hannah.
She has not had much TV coverage yet has strong odds

They have completely removed her from the shows and shown very little of her.

Probably because f the massive public response to her and to dampen the response if she isn't chosen.

I thought she was more in the vein of Janis Joplin - she has a bit more raunch and soul in her voice than Duffy.

I am afraid to say Hannah doesn't make it through (which is the wrong decision)

thats a real shame if its true
she is a real star and a truely good singer

Foolish decision if the rumours are true and she's not through. She will get a deal anyway, I am sure of that.

Firstly, would you mind using spoiler tags next time, mich007?

And secondly, Hannah was brilliant yet again last night. She thoroughly deserves a place in the top 12 and was as good as both Alexandra and Laura last night.

I really do think she'll benefit the most from making it to the live shows. I'll be so disappointed if she doesn't get there, like mich007 so thoughtfully pointed out.

Good luck for tonight, Hannah. You have my backing.

Duffy isn't really a power singer. Hannah is. Hannah is probably the only power singer on the show because everyone else just shouts.

Hannah was amazing last night, her performance was well worthy of a place in the final 12. I know I'm bias but I really think she is the best female in that category, Hannah is unique and different to most X Factor contestants because I think she has more edge.
She has been really consistent all the way through and has improved each week, I think she deserves a chance to shine in the final 12 because I'm sure she'd be a serious contender.

Simon has definately seen the star potential in her from the comments he made after her first audition and at bootcamp.

I will be really gutted if she doesn't make the final 12 but I'm sure someone will snap her up as she has a raw talent.

Let's just pretend she is through.

Hooray - I wonder what she will sing next Saturday?

PLEASE come back next year Hannah. You are amazing!!!

Gutted.

She deserved that place in the top 12 and would've benefited from it so much. She was one of my stars in Cheryl's category and I couldn't decide whether I wanted her or Diana to make it to the live shows alongside Alexandra and Laura until yesterday. That was when I decided on Hannah and look what happened...

Easily my favourite act not to make the live shows this year. Such a shame.

Keep at it, Hannah, and you'll go a long way.

So what do you think she'll sing next week. I am sure she'll do well.

she's not in it

She is. Of course she is. She jumped in the pool and breakdanced when she was told she was.

Well she's done Mercy twice, so I'll go with Warwick Avenue.
