I think Simon Cowell dropped a hint why they didn't keep Gamu, he said something like "I'm sick of seeing sweet 18 year olds singing soppy songs!" Not exactly what he said but I know what he meant and was hinting at. They want people like Katie prepared to dress weird, even though she forgot her words at two auditions and Cher because she has something rock n' roll about her - that's why they put Gamu out. Because they don't want some kid singing "sweet songs!" Bla bla instead they got a 28 year old male singing hi-pitched! = Matt! singing Sweet songs!
