I agree 100%. Ok Alex is good but she isn't outstanding, Hannah was amazing and she isn't exactly your everyday X Factor contestant. You see thousands of the same sort of people with the same voices at the audtions but Hannah was different to a lot of what we've seen before.
Tbh I don't think Cheryl could handle telling Alex she didn't make it for the 2nd time which would have helped influence her decision.
I don't think Simon would have been very pleased when he found out Hannah was turned down, he seemed to really like her and its not often he says someone is "incredible" and "one to watch." I wish Simon had got the girls now cause Hannah would have definately got through.
She would have been a serious contender if she'd got through, even the bookies had her as the favourite at one point and quite a lot of people seem gutted that she didn't get through. Big mistake imo.
