Not a huge fan of Cheryl but I think its easy to forget that the girls were easily the best group there.
It was always going to to be Alex v Anastacia, Laura v Hannah and then Diana v Amy.
Personally I would have gone for Amy over Diana as I think Laura and Diana have too similar a look and I personally preferred Amy's voice...to my mind it would have given her 3 very distinct contestants.
I also think Hannah was a better singer than Laura and did far better auditions, but sadly she didn't have the package that Laura had.
All in all I wasn't surprised at who Cheryl picked however and if she could just stop crying so much, I might even like her
