My choices have been based not so much on musical ability but more on characters and on who has been the biggest success stories out of the show, I have tried to avoid contestants which are too similar to one another, include one joke act in each category and get a good spread of series.

Shayne Ward (Series 2)
Matt Cardle (Series 7)
Rhydian Roberts (Series 4)
Rylan Clark (Series 9)
