Then I decided to see who the finalists were. And I wanted to see my favourite contestant so far, Janet Devlin.

So I caught up 2 weeks of shows.

Checked out Janet first. Cmon, I already love her, and she goes to sing a song from my favourite band Coldplay? Duh, she did a good job in it. She have like such a beautiful and unique voice. and she's cute and innocent-looking. Plus her personality seems nice, she's all shy like that. That's good. Then she covered my favorite song Can't Help Falling In Love With You, and did a very beautiful job for it!

So the rest of the girls, I don't really like.

Oh except Sophie. I forgot her last name. But her voice is beautiful too. I love that type of voice. Like the soulful type, the one that can sing a slow song beautifully. She's my next fav for the girls category.

Then I checked out the band. Nu vibe first, cos I saw a link that they were singing for survival already for the 2 show. Mehh..not that good. Seems dead. Good voices, but just doesn't mix well.

And my fav band, is The Risk! They're cute(I like Andy, he's got a cute accent and a boyface..and Charlie has the sweetest smile, and the other one got beautiful eyes), they individually have a great voice and they each got a part to sing so that's good instead of just harmonising, they look like men not teenagers lol, and according to Tulisa, they write songs and play instruments too, so that's always a plus for me.

I love musicians who go into the industry because of the music, not for the fame and popularity. So whenever I watch reality singing competitions, those who said they want to be famous whenever they were asked why they were there, immediately I axed them off my list. Maybe I'm stereotyping, but those who goes for the music tend to be better. More humble, nicer personality. Plus you kinda can hear their passion through their voices.

And this leads to the male category. For the record, I have disliked Frankie Cocozza from his auditions. I thought he was cute at first, then he opened his mouth and said he wanted to be famous and it's for the girls, and he showed his butt tattoos on tv, and his voice is just blehh. Doesn't reach the sweet tingly thingy in my ears. And I wanted him out from the start. But apparently the judges like him. Or maybe they were sure he's going to be popular for the show, which is good for the ratings. But obviously, he doesn't have that much fans seeing how he had to sing for survival in the 2nd show.

I really like James Michael. I saw him first in Bootcamp, thought he sounded like James Morrison, and I love that type of voice in a guy. Like so quirky but nice. Plus his curly hair totally got me. I'm such a sucker for curly-hair dudes! And he loves to wear fedoras, and looks great in it too! And beautiful eyes, long eyelashes. Sweet smile, infectious. Plays the guitar! And when he talks, it's like listening to a little boy, so cute so soft with his accent. Ahh, he's got the whole package.

Well, I don't know his personality that well, SINCE HE GOT ELIMINATED BOO! Gary Barlow made the wrong decision duh. See, he chose Frankie over James, and the next week Frankie was bottom 2 hah. I mean, I'm sure James wouldn't win the competition, but I really wanted to see more of him! Like a few more weeks maybe, to really see him sing, to "get to know" him more.

The other 2 boys, Craig Colton and Marcus Collins were great! Both powerful voices, both cute in a certain way. Craig is like so cute with his facial expressions and all and belting out all the notes. Marcus is like this fun guy with smooth skin and super sweet smile, with a strong voice.

So yeah, my picks are:

Janet Devlin

Sophie

The Risk

Marcus Collins

Craig Colton

It all comes down to the voters and the freaking stupid judges decisions and the right songs.

And I want to say the elimination twist in Live Show 1 is so freaking stupid! You asked the judges to mentor their 4 acts. Then at the end of the performances, they have to eliminate one of their acts based on the live performances that they also helped put up and mentor. Like seriously? You gave some of them ridiculous songs to sing, then axed them off because sometimes people do have really nice voices, but it just doesn't do well for them to sing certain songs. If you're mentoring someone, then obviously you have to choose the songs that can make their voices stand out.

Gahh, I'm just mad about James Michael. No more curly hair dude, boo!
