I don't get the comments comparing Jade to Adele - they certainly don't sound alike and we have only heard Jade singing covers so it's difficult to talk of "style". Of course both are fat, so maybe that trumps everything in some commentators eyes. Jade was my favourite performer of the final 32 and it's a shame she's gone, but it is difficult to see how she could be marketed to 13 year girls; covered in piercings and tattoos she isn't the sort of role-model many parents would approve of; more fool them.

As for the Overs - they won't sell records, no matter how good they are. Their purpose on the show is macabre window dressing, the more freaky the better as it draws in the punters. That's why the Louis picked Johnny - a cross between Charles Hawtry and Kenneth Williams, but with a great voice - and the attention seeking Kitty and Goldie. Talent had nothing to do with these selections; remember how Wagner got the phones ringing and tongues wagging.
