The X Factor judges have spoken, selecting their top 12 contestants ahead of the live shows
The judges have spoken - but not everyone's happy about it.
X Factor's top 12 have been revealed with judges Willy Moon and Melanie Blatt locking in their top three contestants ahead of Sunday night's first live show.
But fans have been quick to criticise some of the judges' calls,including Blatt's decision to include Joe Irvine in the final line up.
Fans were also upset by Moon's decision to drop sibling act Duel in favour of the band Stuss, including broadcaster Hilary Barry who created a 'sillywilly' hashtag to mark her disappointment.
But fans still have a chance to save one of their favourites, with each judge nominating a wild card act that the public can vote to bring back. Joseph, Jazzy, Archie and country duo Mae Valley are all in the running to return.
