Cher is very different to what we've ever had on X Factor, and Katie is quirky and interesting. Both will be far more entertaining/worth watching that the others would've been. I like Gamu [on par with Rebecca], and also felt sorry for her, and wouldn't have minded if she got through...but this obsession with her is really OTT...she wasn't that great.

I hate this rubbish about being different and quirky. If they were so amazing they'd already have made a name for themselves and found an audience without the help of the X Factor. This is about finding raw, untapped talent - well, that was what I thought it was about anyway.

Dusty, Nina and Ella wouldn't stand a chance on this plastic, disposable and souless show.
