Yep, I saw this as well Andy.

It was brilliant to see some of the truly awful auditions again. However, I'm sure I read somewhere that all the contestants are pre-vetted and not all of them actually get to perform in front of the judges, so I'm sure a good few of them were put forward purely for the sake of making good TV!

I'd forgotten that Michelle and Mark both just scraped through their first auditions on Simon's say-so. Apologies to anyone who's fans of their's, but I find it hard to believe that they were the two best undiscovered singers in the UK at this point in time. I do prefer Michelle's voice, and put in a vote for her during the final, but does she have a lasting career? Will she sell over 1 million copies of her single next week? I doubt it.
