Any chance 4th Impact might actually win?

They're leading this poll by a comfortable margin?

Or is that just out of country votes from their Asian fans?

I really hope Alien get through, they are the ones that interest me the most at this stage. Mostly because they didn't pick a deathly dull song like the rest.

SO.

We now have our FINAL 12. And as we do every year, it's time for you to predict who finishes where. It's time to predict your Fleur East's to come 11th, your Little Mix's to leave in Week 1 and your Kingsland Road's to win... and make you look SO FOOLISH.

Your final 12 are:

> Alien Uncovered
> Anton Stephens
> Bupsi
> Che Chesterman
> Keira Weathers
> Lauren Murray
> Louisa Johnson
> Mason Noise

1-Louisa (Great but will she get the votes?)
2-Ché
3-4th Impact
4th-Seann
5th-Anton- (Will get the older vote but probably thrown under the bus as it gets closer to the end)
6th-Mason-(Villian needed to last long,will probably have a big fanbase and wanted to stay long enough for entertainment and make the tour by producers)
7th-Lauren
8th-Max
9th-Kiera
10th-Reggie & Bollie
11th-Bupsi
12th-Alien (who's gonna vote for them?)

Posted by: gooddelta 25th October 2015, 10:02 PM

1st - Louisa (I'm not sure she'd be a MAJOR star but bigger than Ben Haenow at least, I can see her having some very good performances, as long as Rita keeps showing off her diversity)
2nd - Ché (could just as easily win as Louisa, he's likeable and has an amazing voice and I think the audience will really warm to him)
3rd - 4th Impact (I don't think they'll be THAT big in the real world if I'm being honest, I feel like the producers are hyping them up to be worldwide stars but I just don't see it, but no doubt they'll do very well in the show)
4th - Seann (he's a star for sure but not sure if he'll be in contention for the win quite)
5th - Kiera (I'm hoping she does better than this actually, depends if she can get the 'nu Leona' type support...then again, the public are now over the old Leona so she could leave a lot sooner than this)
6th - Anton (he'll be well liked but I can't see him going much further than this)
7th - Lauren ('shock' girls category midway eviction that happens every year)
8th - Mason (could imagine him ending up in the bottom two but being saved for a few weeks)
9th - Alien (think they'll have a couple of good weeks but doubt they'll go THAT far, they're like a more colourful Neon Jungle)
10th - Max (bland, so hoping he doesn't do a Ben Haenow/James Arthur and I'm confident that he won't)
11th - Reggie & Bollie (they could go further if they're chosen as the novelty act of the show, but could just as easily flounder in week one)
12th - Bupsi (don't understand how or why she's here or who's going to vote for her)

Posted by: Dantom. 25th October 2015, 10:45 PM

Rich's predictions seem pretty spot on. Although presuming a double elimination next week I wouldn't be surprised to see Alien be the token 'boy/girlband that doesn't last week one', Bupsi definitely coming 12th though.

Posted by: The Grim Reaper 25th October 2015, 10:54 PM

Have to agree With Richard's post, but I swap Che with Keira, and Bupsi with Reggie & Bollie they seem to be the joke act this year I don't know what Cheryl is going to do with them.

I really don't know why Max was chosen over Stephanie in the six chair challenge though, I know she had a dud performance, but she could have improved, probably would have got dumped at the Judges house stage anyway.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th October 2015, 10:59 PM

1. Louisa Johnson - hard to call but I think Rita's the right mentor. I just hope she doesn't do a Lauren Platt.
2. Max Stone - the dark horse so far! Has the public on his side and is creeping up slowly.
3. Seann Miley Moore - Andrea vibes here.
4. Keira Weathers
5. Che Chesterman
6. Lauren Murray
7. 4th Impact - I'd LOVE them to be higher but I'm not sure they will be PRAYING I'm wrong!!
8. Anton Stephens
9. Alien Uncovered - they deserve to be higher but will they be considered likeable enough? I'm not sure.
10. Mason Noise
11. Reggie n Bollie
12. Bupsi

9th Keira Weathers
10th Bupsi
11th Reggie n Bollie
12th Alien Uncovered

I actually really like Alien Uncovered, so it would be a shame to see them go so soon but it seems inevitable. I think it's a fairly strong final, with the exception of Reggie n Bollie so I'd hope they disappear pretty quickly. I'm team Louisa all the way and I hope the public warm to her. I agree with Rich about 4th Impact, I don't think the public will be as crazy about them as the producers want us to be. Those are my main thoughts.

Posted by: gooddelta 25th October 2015, 11:10 PM

Yeah, I could see Max as a dark horse, the audience seemed keen on him at the six chair challenge and he seems to have a surprising amount of public support. I guess 'guy with guitar' will always be popular to an extent, he just seems to lack the charisma to be a proper big star/make it as high as 2nd imo, I don't think we've seen much of his personality so far. I could also see him getting a lot of 'boring/safe/take a risk/unmemorable' comments from judges week in/week out if he lasts too long.

Posted by: Scary Spice 25th October 2015, 11:22 PM

Wow... I've only seen this weekend's set of shows, but I didn't get "OMG, WINNER!!!" vibes from Louisa whatsoever. Strong sounding, but not distinctive vocally. Didn't excite me.

I'll have to wait until the live shows to really judge further with them all, but overall I feel like this set of finalists is weak.

From the reactions in the studio it seemed like Max is going to be very popular (God knows why).

There's no stand-out winner for me as I can see Louisa being pushed very heavily as their Plan A, but ultimately I see her going a similar way to the likes of Lauren Platt or Amelia Lily. I actually see Lauren as being the most successful girl, with her personality going some way to give her a Stacey Solomon style result. I'm still struggling to find an overwhelming likeability and connection to Keira, I can see her doing a Tamera Foster.

That leaves the door wide open, and Anton ticks the boxes. Very likeable and the likely old fashioned song choices will ultimately appeal to the primary voting audience - although the X Factor app votes may skew this. I can see Anton starting off very highly in the votes, and the producers will probably attempt to take him down Andrea-style but I'm not sure there's going to be another alternative.

I think Bupsi will lose out to Reggie n Bollie in the "novelty" act stakes, and will probably end up bottom 3 first week with Mason and Alien Uncovered. I see no voting fanbase for the latter unfortunately and will be instantly eliminated and they will want to keep Mason in as long as possible - although he will probably get an instant elimination the following week, following a Stephanie Nala-style trajectory.

Seann will probably do a Jahmene, very likeable and very talented but ultimately not having the wider appeal of Anton. Che will be in the upper middle, Max in the lower middle and unfortunately I think 4th Impact's high energy performance will ultimately tire on the voters and will be a shock early-ish exit after a showdown save no doubt.

I don't think the older demo vote as much on X Factor as they do on other shows. Plus, the app vote is definitely aimed at younger people.
Their target voter is girls and girls/women don't vote for girls.

I think it's going to come down to what happens week by week because there really isn't a standout winner.
Che and Max are going to get the votes.. Max will get the credible 'guy with guitar' vote and Che will get the 'omg he can SAAANG i love him' vote.
Lauren will get the Stacey Solomon vote but she's far better vocally than Stacey. Seann will have the intrigue vote if he changes it up.

Louisa will get all the hype now because she's great but I think Rita will lose focus with her halfway through and not know what to do with her.
Because of her age, they'll probably have her singing 'Let It Go' and it will irk everyone and it'll mark her downward spiral.
4th Impact are great but they're still a girlband at the end of the day.. who is going to vote for them? I think their spectacle will keep them in til around the halfway mark.

Kiera's got a great voice but there's not much else going for her, I couldn't even remember her previous auditions. I definitely think she'll be the first girl out.
Reggie n Bollie are the new Jedward, they'll have a few weeks and wind some people up when 'real singers' are going home instead of them.
Anton Stephens is too creepy to muster up a lot of support. He seems very disingenuous and I'm perplexed as to how anyone can think he'll win!
He's Andy Abraham 2.0 but that dude got lucky in his season when he got to the final.. there was nobody else worth voting for.

It's clear Mason's not loved by any stretch. I may be wrong with putting him so low because he'll have the heartthrob vote but apart from that.. I can't see him doing much.
I adore Bupsi but I don't think the audience will connect with her and she will end up going home because she was good but nobody felt the urge to vote for her.

Alien Uncovered believe their hype way too much. They were good but they are so arrogant with it. They're too try hard for me, their whole style is too much.

Posted by: Liаm 26th October 2015, 03:33 AM

01 Che (he doesn't really have the look, but he's got a undeniable voice, and seems nice so he'll get some of the mum vote I guess)
02 Anton (I get a horrible feeling he could even win, he's at least going to do a Christopher Maloney)
03 Keira (instantly seems like she's the best popstar they have this year, and she seems likeable enough so should be fine when it comes to getting votes, still she could easily be like 8th as well, I think she's one of those where it will really depend how she starts off in the live shows)
04 Louisa
05 Seann
06 4th Impact
07 Lauren (can't see her making it too much further than Lola from last year, although I do think Lauren is better vocally and has more of a personality too... She just relies on her voice, she's not really a popstar and doesn't have anything unique about her, just a nice girl with a great voice)
08 Max
09 Mason Noise
10 Alien
11 Bupsi
12 Reggie & Bollie (surely?!)

Have a feeling Louisa may just get pipped to the post by Che. I think that top 3 would be pretty incredible. I hope Seann, Lauren and Keira do better than I'm predicting.

I was going to predict Max as the winner but I feel his current hype will die down soon and he’ll be more of a Luke Friend than a Ben Haenow. Still Simon’s best chance of a place in the finals.
Putting my faith in Lauren as I really can’t see any of the other girls making it that far. Louisa is really a Laura White in the making.
RegNBol are the new Jedward.
Poor Bupsi.
