Shayne
Hubba hubba hubba. He may be the prettiest boy ever. But I'm concerned all those layers may constrict him. Next week he should not wear a top... for the good of his voice, clearly.
Maria
Outstanding voice and bod. Her hubby - who had his honeymoon cancelled and can't stay with his new missus while she's in the show - will find blokes longing to 'ave Maria.
Chenai
Like her. But was it really the wisest move to give that particular song to someone with a lisp? Still, if it all goes pear-shaped the newly-svelte sweetie can release a fitness video.
Nicholas
Hate to agree with Simon and Sharon but that really was the wrong song. He said: "Louis and I worked on it, he was constantly ringing me." No one can deny he suffered for art.
Andy
He does have a great voice - but haven''t we seen an over-30 cheeky chappie singer before. And where is he now? Think he could be second victim of The Curse of Brookstein.
Journey South
They''re so desperately earnest and hungry for fame that they terrify me. They lived in a caravan for six months trying to make it. I hope they only rented it out rather than sold it.
Brenda
Fantastic voice - but how many pop stars are called Brenda? Change it to B'rendA or something. Louis says he didn''t see her selling a million records, I don''t see her selling 20.
4 Tune
Supporters had banners so they''re serious. But why had the curly one been straightened? On hair, Sharon''s looks much better now she''s ditched the Rita from Corrie look.
Philip
I''ve watched all the auditions and the bootcamp shows, yet I swear I''ve never seen him before. Sang like a distinctly average Elvis impersonator. Instantly forgettable.
Conway Sisters
How did a Nolan's tribute act make the final 12? Being competent is just not enough when you could go from nothing to releasing a tragic cover version before being dropped.
Chico
Untalented and tacky. Sang "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, come on sugar let me know". Don''t hold your breath. No! Do hold it - until I tell you to stop!
