It is Cheryls decision who she wants to mentor. Thats the point. Its not about the tastes of others.

And gamu is laughably overrated. Fuss n Nonsense.

I think some of the people who are outraged would have been happy if their favourite had got through despite messing up. It is Cheryl's choice after all, she went for who she thought has the most potential and what we think doesn't come into place really until voting starts.

There is always a huge fuss over something in X factor, at the end of the day, the producers want there to be, it gets the viewing figures up and free publicity.

Exactly which is why last year Simon cynically knew that saving Jedward over Lucie and Danyl constantly getting slagged off would cause controversy because it would cause debates, plus the twins and Danyl were in the papers like every week during the series and the ratings were getting higher and they cared about who is marketable..

The producers were pleased with all that and I think they're rubbing their hands with glee over the fuss Cher is causing and some people getting their knickers in a twist.

The Jedward thing was a huge example, it was laughable, really, after all the slagging off Simon did about them, then saved them. Incredible. But it got publicity.

He was looking at it from a business side, maybe he liked the unpredictability and knew that some people who didn't watch the show were tuning in because they heard about all that was going on...
