What a crazy live Judges's House verdict weekend!
Rita's Girls and Nick's Boys category are by far the strongest in this year's series. We have our winner there I think.
Monica, who I've always said was a clear favourite, got me a little emotional with her song that she wrote for her brother who passed away.
It was raw and real. You can have the best voice in the world but it can all amount to nothing if there's no real emotional connection.

Writing music and singing has been a massive emotional outlet for me after losing loved ones, so I have massive respect for Monica for opening up.
I'm gutted that she didn't make the live shows, I think a lot of people are outraged to see her go but if you care, just keep supporting her whatever her next steps are.
I am happy to see Louisa and Lauren through though. They'll kill it.
Nick had a tough decision as well, there were so many strong performers in his category. Che is a winner for me and I'm glad the Sean Miley Moore made it.
You can tell they're both ready for the pressures of live shows. Shame Simon Lynch didn't make it, though. I would have put him through.
Love that Cheryl's put through really entertaining acts like Fourth Impact, Alien Uncovered and the hilarious Reggie and Bollie.
She's definitely got the experience with her Girls Aloud background. I can't wait to see what she does.
Simon has quite possibly the weakest category this year, in my humble opinion. I like Anton and Bupsi but I'm not sure who would vote them every week. Hopefully they pull off really good performances that make people want to get behind them.
What do you think of the Final 12? Who would you have put through and who would you send home?
