I've read most of the comments re Cheryl's choices before i had watched the show.

Sorry to disagree, Guys! i can see where she's coming from. I do agree she discarded some people who have very good voices - even better than those who were chosen. But, IMO, what she went for was those who were a little different - even if they didn't have the greatest voices - and broke down in their performance. That's the nature of entertainment - especially on TV. People are always looking for something that's out of the ordinary - superficial as that may be - even at the price of real talent. I mean - look at the case of Jedward. How smart was Louis to have put these guys through?

So that's my opinion - that since it is an entertainment show, first and foremost - Cheryl did an excellent job - in fact chose perfectly. Those three whom she chose will provide us with lots of drama - and after all that's what keeps us watching the show, isn't it?
