With Bootcamp now at its final stage we can now reveal the names of the acts that have made it through to judge’s houses.
Bootcamp for us is always the most fascinating of all the X Factor stages, because it is the graveyard of many good acts. This as been the case in the UK and we suspect the same will be true for the US version of the show also.
However, the contestants and judges – Simon Cowell, Paul Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and LA Reid – have worked tirelessly at bootcamp, and it should all result in the best 32 acts that entered the competition going through to judges houses(we hope).
The judges have whittled the hopefuls down to just eight in each category from the thousands that applied; they then went on to discovered which group they will be mentoring. The list below is what has been revealed:
