X Factor contestants 2011… The boys
X Factor contestants 2011 Gary Barlow Craig Colton the boys
X Factor contestant Craig Colton
Age: 22
From: LiverpoolFirst thoughts: Craig turned up to auditions and surprised his parents, who were in the audience, but weren’t aware that he was auditioning. He sung Adele’s Hiding My Heart Away, and made us, and his mum and dad, cry.
Handbag’s verdict: We don’t know if we think Craig has got what it takes to go all the way.

X Factor contestant James Michael
Age: 20
From: LiverpoolFirst thoughts: James sung Adele’s To Make You Feel My Love, and Gary said, “I think you’re a recording artist waiting to be recorded.”
Handbag’s verdict:We think James is going to have tough competition from Frankie Cocozza for the title of X Factor heartthrob.

X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza
Age: 18
From: BrightonFirst thoughts: Frankie Cocozza ensured that he stuck in everyone’s mind when he revealed that he’s tattooed the names of the six girls he’s slept with on his bottom. He also guaranteed the infamy of those girls after baring his cheeks. I’m sure they appreciated it.
Handbag’s verdict: Is Frankie this year’s Katie Waissel? He’s already reported to have been given verbal abuse as he becomes the most hated person on The X Factor.
Will Frankie end up being the mostannoying X Factor contestant this year?

X Factor contestants 2011 Marcus Collins Gary Barlow
X Factor contestant Marcus Collins
Age: 23
From: LiverpoolFirst thoughts: Marcus has a good voice and he knows how to use it, he’s also quite easy on the eye. But is he a little boring compared to the other contestants?
Handbag’s verdict: While Marcus has a great voice, we’re left a little bit cold with his performances. He’s this year’s Danyl Johnston. How this will translate to the live shows, we’re not sure. He’ll either be great on stage, or bland.
