but I thought the black girl with the spiky hair in the over 25's group who they threw off was actually rather good.

Anyone know who she was?

The guy who sang 'Your Song' (I forgot his name) was the best of all the male singers, but they chose to put a joke of a guy through to the finals at his expense. It's obvious they were aiming at having another Chico character. It's this kind of thing that reminds me that the X Factor is more about ratings than about talent.

I wasn't really impressed by any of the female soloists. The girls who spent most of the time arguing actually gave the best performance in the group category.
