X Factor Final 12 leaked but not reported.

Recently, I was told by someone on Twitter that the final 12 of The X Factor had been leaked. I am 99% sure that the leak is correct and this is the final line up. What is interesting is what do the press think? They are quick to reporter sexy scandals but how come this leak hasn't come into the public arena?

If it wasn't the final 12, I'm sure they would be reporting the leak. I think they are under strict orders NOT to talk about it. What the public don't know about The X Factor is that they have paid to fly out reporters from major papers and publications to cover boot camp in Spain, Australia etc etc. If you were a reporter being wined and dined by The X Factor are you going to fart at the table? Of course not. These people are reporters who love TV or want to move into TV, they want to make friends in high places. Are they going to report anything other than the official story? This list may be wrong but I'll be surprised if it is.

Cheryl Cole will have Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel and Rebecca Ferguson. All 3 of the girls, aged 16, 24 and 23

Dannii Minogue has the boys, Aiden Grimshaw, Matt Cardle and Nicolo Festa.

Simon Cowell groups F.Y.D. and the two newly formed groups New Direction and another girl group, yet to be named

Louis Walsh has been given the weakest 28s category, is said to have selected John Adeleye, Mary Byrne and Storm Lee.

My personal surprise and disappointment is the omission of Katie Smith and Paije Richardson. I think they were both interesting vocalists. Katie Waissel is not a surprise choice as she is good tv, but vocally the weakest in the line up.

Husstle have been mugged off but I hope the lead singer is in Simon's new girl group because she was captivating.

I wasn't surprised that Marlon McKenzie isn't included as he went off melody and Simon hates that. He is also competition for Shayne Ward and Joe McElderry who are releasing music right now. The young boys and girls have products they have to buy into and Marlon will confuse them. I do wonder if he is in the new group? I doubt it though, Simon will make a young boy band to compete with F.D.Y. Vote! Vote! Vote! Kids!

Surely, Simon calling his group of boys New Direction only sounds like nude erection in my morally debased head. Anyway, Simon is straight after all and it will probably turn out they are a group of girls... Nah! West Life are getting older. He needs a new direction. Young boy band it is then!

My main prediction is that Storm Lee from the USA will make it all the way to the final. Remember: The X Factor is being sold to the Americans now. What will get the middle-aged couch potatoes to put down their KFC buckets quicker than a story of singer from the US living the American dream on Simon's new show? Is it a coincidence that a guy that's in the older group (the exact demographic that The X Factor needs to attract in the USA) comes from the USA, just before the show goes to the USA?

I'm probably wrong about all of this, but wouldn't it be funny if I'm right?
