BuzzJack Music Forum _ Reality TV _ Who will win the X Factor UK this year?

Really hoping it's Lauren or Fleur but it will probably be Andrea.

I think they're pushing for it to be Fleur but I'm not sure she quite has the voice to bring enough people on board like Alexandra fully did with 'Listen'. I'm going to stick with my Ben Haenow prediction from Week 1 but I feel less confident about it at the moment than I did at that time.

Right now I think it could go either way between Lauren/Ben/Andrea. So close to call I won't make a prediction. I think it might come down to who they duet with on the final.

I get Matt Cardle vibes from Ben, Alexandra vibes from Fleur and male Sam Bailey vibes from Andrea so it be any of them. Historically I'd say it'll be Ben sadly but I'm really willing Fleur to have an E.T./Don't Let Go moment and run away with it. I agree though it will just come right down to the performances rather than there being a runaway obvious winner like Sam Bailey or Leona.

I want either Fleur or Lauren, but as far as the latter's chances go I'm very pessimistic. I keep thinking that if Ella or Tamera couldn't do it, no way will she.

Ben. I don't want it to be him, but on balance he ticks the most boxes. I think Lauren will be third and either Fleur or Andrea second, with the other being 4th. I'm leaning towards Fleur 2nd as Andrea is far more one note.

I'd say Ben is the standout favourite at this point which is annoying as he's my least favourite (after Stereo Kicks) left now. Fleur is definitely the dark horse and Simon would want a showdown final 2 between two of his acts so this may happen. Andrea should comfortably make the final as he'll get what I call the "traditional" voters on his side (a la Chris Maloney/Nicholas McDonald). I feel Lauren has little chance just because her voice is not up scratch and as said if people like Ella and Tamera can't even make the top 4 I don't see how she will (particularly given that those years were weaker overall). That said, I can't see either of the groups or Stevie up there either so she could sneak in.

I think it's between Andrea and Lauren with Ben/Fleur fighting for the third place.

It is 100% between Ben and Andrea. Could go either way at this point. As much as I would love it to be Fleur I just don't think she is vocally strong enough to win - I mean if it came down to her and Andrea singing a big ballad as the winner's single of course he would pick up more votes than her. Can see her coming 3rd or 4th which would still be fantastic.

Just something I've noticed down the years that could mean Andrea will win. Every single female mentor has won on their debut with the exceptions of Sharon & Kelly (but there were 2 female debuts in her year so someone had to miss out) and the last 7 years has had a winning female mentor so this run may continue? Or am I looking into it too much

You forgot to add a poll here.

By the way, it will be Andrea or Fleur.

Really hope it'll be Fleur and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she makes it to the final. I can see it coming down to Ben v Andrea though.

Posted by: OutstandingMixer Nov 12 2014, 04:30 AM

I would like Lauren or Fleur to win but I reckon Andrea has it in the bag. I think Ben will finish second.

Ben Haenow I think, his most recent performance really screamed 'winner' to me, I'm sure he's in the top 3 in the votes right now anyway

Posted by: troylovesmusic Nov 13 2014, 06:04 PM

It does seem to be a 4 horse race atm between Andrea, Ben, Fleur, and Lauren so I think it will likely be one of these four my guess probably Andrea.

Posted by: Cameron Nov 13 2014, 06:05 PM

Think:

1. Andrea
2. Ben
3. Fleur / Lauren

Want:

1. Fleur
2. Only The Young
3. Andrea

Fleur hopefully.

I find Lauren to have a bit or arrogance.

Posted by: UKInsider Nov 30 2014, 01:01 PM

Andrea i hope

Posted by: Liаm Nov 30 2014, 01:05 PM

Updated prediction, I'd be shocked if it wasn't Ben.

01 Ben
02 Fleur
03 Andrea

But it should be

01 Fleur
02 Lauren
03 Andrea

Andrea, but I want Fleur to win.

Posted by: Jayeux Noël Dec 2 2014, 01:47 PM

I can't decide between Ben & Fleur. Ben seems the most likely, but I'd rather it be one of the others.

Posted by: Santa Martin Dec 2 2014, 02:28 PM

I want Fleur, realistically she can rap, dance, anything you can chuck at her she can do it.

I think Lauren will go this weekend coming, if she is in the bottom 2 again. Ben will go after the final on Saturday, with Andrea and Fleur as the final 2 on Sunday.

If Andrea wins, it be over in 12 months, with Fleur I can see her having a long career in the music business, Olly Murs and OneD have done well for themselves without winning the comp.

I want Lauren to win but can see her going this weekend actually. Think a guy will win it this year.
