Now you know the categories and the 12 contestants through to the live finals. It appears that the judges - Correction Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue have received a major public backlash in regards to there choices. Danni Minogue is Talentless in my opinion however the person that has really disappointed us was Cheryl Cole. Cheryl Cole made a choice to put through Katie and Cher over the public favorite Gamu Nhenge. Gamu Nhenge wowed the judges in the first auditions and then even brought Louis Walsh to tears with her rendition of Adelle's 'Make you Feel Alive'. Gamu had been 'Consistently' on point, her singing was amazing and she never forgot her words.(I stress did NOT forget her words unlike Katie Weasel i mean Waissel'.

OK now lets rewind it back a bit...........(make that rwd noise please!......... OK now stop)

Cher Lloyd

 Cher Lloyd on her first audition blew EVERYONE away with her Keri Hilson Swag on rendition. Her style was unique and edgy, her vocal rap style was on immaculate. With such a great first impression, Cher had alot to live up to watch her performance which attracted worldwide attention.



first Situation: On JUDGEMENT DAY she got in front of Cheryl Cole and Will-I-Am she was suffering from a sore throat. From the moment she opened her mouth the first note was Atrocious. Cher was not in tune and completely melted down. Cheryl gave her the chance to start again but her exact words were 'Im done' and she walked out in her spiral one shoulder Orange/Coral dress. Cher Lloyd really let me down compared to the astounding first audition. Personally i think she is a swag Cheryl Cole- When the camera zooms in her hair is ratty and her make up just looks unfinished.

Katie Waissel

Second Situation- Katie 'hmmm' Waissel  first auditioned and messed it up by forgetting her words to the song but begged and pleaded, The judges put her through, maybe they liked her quirkiness. Now at the judges house she came out in her cream lace camisole and cutesy umbrella - She looked fab with her larger than large feather black & white eyelashes. Let us set the scene......Beautiful Ascot Mansion, Cue Bob Marley's 'The sun is shining', Cheryl Cole in her sexy Loubotin shoes, Will-I-Am with his next generation goggles sitting comfy on the sofa. Then the piano music starts...... Breath Katie opens her mouth and a monotonous off key notes comes out. Katie attempted to sing Charlie Chaplin's 'Smile' she then got choked up and got teary eyed. All choked up she then started her Drama queen, Silvia Young theatrical behaviour. Katie started to bleat on that the song was a very emotional song and had allot of personal sentiment blah blah who cares! In the words of Will-I-Am 'she completely F-ed that up' Cheryl Cole then said commenting on what she saw 'What a Drama Queen'!

So it comes to the decision night- I could have bet my life that Cheryl would have chosen anyone else over  Cher Lloyd and Katie as there final performance was atrocious compared to what Talent was on offer. Cheryl did me proud by putting through Rebbecca Ferguson the diamond from Liverpool- She is my favorite to win alongside Belle Amie. Sorry to digress as i was saying.....Sipping a Earl Grey Tea & wiping away the crust from my mouth from my freshly bitten Croissant. 'I say I am no Simon Cowell' but Cheryl made her choices based upon there overall performances and FAILED to choose Gamu who had been consistently brilliant throughout the stages.  This triggered a public uproar, Blackberry Broadcast messages started, Text messages, Twitter went bonkers, A face book group was started talk about social Networking Pandemonium. Cheryl Cole was branded a racist  and before you knew it, it was a trending topic on Twitter. That means allot of people are talking about you. Unfortunately or Cheryl it was not in a positive light!

Headlines!

The media attention surrounding the Final 12 has graced front pages of every newspaper

The airing of the live show starts on 9.10.2010 and it was announced that there was going to be a 'Wildcard' twist. Speculation was that each judge had the chance to bring back 1 individual for a second chance. The public made the assumption that to rectify the decision that Cheryl Cole made, Gamu would be the wild card and the world would resort back to normality.  Before you sit back in your desk chair or your comfy sofa Check this out......................


GAMU IS FACING DEPORTATION Due to her Visa expiring due to her mothers original student status no longer existing. So as Gamu is facing being sent back to Nairobi with her dreams shattered There is no way she is the Wild card.You cant help but feel sorry for this young lady who has been in the country for over 5years just chasing a dream.  This is really the reality of reality TV, its no so glamorous after all!

I want to know your opinion
Is Chery to blame? Do you think the judges made the right choices? Who do YOU think is going to win the X-factor 2010?
