For me out 11 out of 12 of the best have been picked. I would not have gone for Diana Vickers, simply because her voice isn't all that. We already have singer/talkers in the Music world, we don't need any more.

I agree she is trying to sound like Kate Nash/Lily Allen but I prefer her to Hannah or Amy.

I think the groups are poor but Louis picked the best three. I also think Dannii made the right choice.

However, Simon has got it badly wrong in my opinion. I strongly dislike Austin - his tears drive me mad and he's just so unlikeable. I also think he should have picked Mali instead of Eoghan. And I would have preferred Alan to go through - I loved him

I'm all for opinions and stuff, but Diana is in a totally different genre to Kat and Lily? Kate and Lily sing with their own accent etc etc, Diana actually sings rather than talks?

I would've picked

Girls
Same as Cheryl

Boys
Same as Simon - I can't stand Austin; but he can sing.

Over 25's
Ruth, Rachel and Suzie - I wondering if Dannii was told she couldn't have 3 female's and she had to have at least 1 male contestant

Groups
Same as Louis - however it was a very poor selection

I wouldn't have put Danny and Scott through, they aren't very good. Mali and Suzie were miles better.

Agreed, but Dannii also wants to win again. She may have picked Daniel for the likeability factor.

I cannot believe the amount of people saying Diana is rubbish. In my opinion she is probably one of the best to ever come from this show. If she had of made it big on her own back I bet she would have won Brit awards by now. Maybe that's the problem people are having. Diana is more serious musician rather than pop star.

It's the voice I find annoying, especially as we already have singer/talkers in the Pop world already. I can't stand those type of singer/talkers anyway so maybe it's just that.

She's not going to be Lily Allen/ Kate Nash if that is what you are getting at with the singer/talker thing?

For me:
Alexandra
Laura
Diana
Austin
BadLashes
JLS
Rachel
Ruth

are all great finalists. Scott, Eoghan, Danny and Girlband are the cannon fodder for the first few weeks. But we usually have so much more of that, so I'm really pleased that there are so many performances I'm looking forward to and a few good performances from any of them can put them in with a chance of winning.

I might have preferred 4Instinct to Girlband or Daniel (pro-golfer) to Danny but it doesn't really matter because they were only ever going to be deadwood.

That might explain why every time I've posted about him, the only replies I get are smilies!

thats the way I'd have gone too

I would've liked to have seen Hannah in the final 12 also - but can't think who to boot out in her favour - the girls were all great (apart from Amy, she was pretty weak in that category)

I think Eoghan will be there for a long time, he will get the mums vote

Hannah was great but i think the other three girls Laura, Diana and especially Alexandra have amazing potential. The girls are definately the strongest category

I would have picked Amy over Diana, and other than that would have agreed with the judges until I heard the performances. Unfortunately, I'm obsessed with No Air and was very disappointed in JLS's efforts. I wasn't too keen on the other groups who made the top 6 though, based on the "judges' houses" performances I might have gone with 4Instinct at a push

Overs wise I was happy, but wouldn't have mided any combination. Louise was weak this time but I think her song choices ruined her - I've liked ehr in the past.

Boys wise, aside from Alan I like them all (nothing a gainst him, just his voice) but I might have come to the same conclusion as Simon in the end, especially after eharing the performances

Lol, he did an interview saying he didn't think he was picked because XF producers spent so little time on him that nobody knew who he was...guess he was right

LMAO. Infact it's worse! Some of the words she sings sound as though she sings through a pipe. (don't ask)

I don't really get the Kate/Lily comparison with Diana
I can understand if you don't like her voice, it is pretty unconventional in terms of the X Factor
But she doesn't do that talking/singing thing at all and she hasn't in any of her performances so far, plus she doesn't have a mockney accent and as far as I can tell she's taking inspiration from old musicians from the 60s and 70s rather than the awful Kate Nash -_-
