Idon't know I didn't watch boot camp. What about the woman who had the little girl at the auditions with her or give Kimberly another go.

I say Stephanie. she deserves to come back
you see I thought give Kimberly another go but then we would have arguments since the public gave her less votes. but then again it was down to the judges in the end
Oh yeah she was good, if Im thinking of the right oneQuote:

Emily's mentor Sharon Osbourne said she was "deeply saddened" by the situation.
Another video emerged earlier this week on YouTube showing Emily and a group of friends laughing and threatening a teenager, while one of the group held what appeared to be a weapon.
It is believed the videos were filmed before Emily entered The X Factor and have since been removed from the website.
As the youngest finalist to ever have competed on the programme, Simon Cowell said Emily "was the reason the age range was lowered".
She won over the judges with her innocent looks and Osbourne said in one episode that she had a "butter wouldn't melt" personality.
Bookie refunds
The singer also gained the sympathy of viewers by revealing that she almost died from the stomach infection peritonitis last year.
She was due to sing Bjork's It's Oh So Quiet on the next programme.
Show organisers have said that Emily's withdrawal will not affect the voting on the show this Saturday and one act will still leave the competition.
Bookmaker Ladbrokes said it would refund all bets on the teenager following her shock exit.
"We think the only fair thing to do, given the circumstances, is to void all bets on Emily regardless of the market," a Ladbrokes spokesman said.

After two acts have dropped out they must be having a week where there are no evictions otherwise there will be too few people left towards the end :confused:
I really doubt they'll bring someone back to replace her. They were planning a double "eviction" this week, so i reckon they'll just let 1 go instead of 2.
Yeah well that will make sense then, its going to be ver werid on tonights show
I wonder how they are going to explain her pulling out. I can't imagine they'd say that she left because everyone now knows what a bully she is and what she got upto.
X Factor girl band Hope have decided to cover up for their performance on tonight's live show.
Raquelle Gracie, 20, revealed that the group asked producers for a break from wearing skimpy outfits - because they want viewers to focus on their singing.
"We're actually wearing some clothes at last," Raquelle told the Manchester Evening News. "It's definitely good, because we're going to show that we can all sing as opposed to showing all our bodies."
She admitted that she had to apologise to her dad for the producers' wardrobe choices, while her boyfriend Gregory has been "OK as a boyfriend can be about his girlfriend being half naked on stage".
Simon Cowell described Hope as the "best group we've ever had on The X Factor", following their performance of 'Lady Marmalade' last week. Now the pressure is on for the group to impress him again with their rendition of Madonna's 'Hanky Panky' tonight.
"That was a seriously big compliment," Raquelle explained. "We were all shocked. We just want to live up to that now and show Simon that he did the right thing saying that. It's overwhelming."
Leon Jackson's old school has decided to organise an event to raise funds for his mother Wendy.
As X Factor producers do not pay for contestants' family members to get to the studio for the live shows each week, Wendy, who lives in West Lothian, Scotland, has been struggling with travel and accommodation costs.
Teaching assistant Pauline Tennant has organised a special screening of X Factor at the Whitburn Academy school tonight. Tickets to see the episodes on a big screen will be free, but all attendees will be asked to make a donation to Leon's mother.
"Leon's gran lives next door to us and we wanted to help out. It costs a fortune for Leon's family to travel down but he must get a tremendous boost having his mum there," Pauline told the Daily Record.
"I've met him a couple of times and I think he's a lovely lad. There's no way fame will change him. I think he's got a great chance of winning the show provided he is given the right song."
