Said Anton, In his interview

"They rehearse. They work hard, they're passionate. And I love being around them - there are lots of other singers that can do amazing things. But there are few people who can walk into a room and make you feel like you're the most special thing in it."

"He continued that he wanted the two singers - Reggie, 31, and Bollie, 29 - to win the competition, and added that former mentor Simon Cowell does too."

What a damn joke.

Let them. X Factor is a joke anyway.

I have a niggling feeling they might. It seems too good to be true Louisa would just easily trounce the competition. She's been the rightful winner since week 1, that just doesn't happen on X Factor

TBH they'd probably see more post show success than the majority of male winners (in terms of hit singles, I can't imagine a Reggie and Bollie album shifting too many copies).

They don't have much talent though, beyond a fun and confident stage presence, the fact that in the group performance last week their contribution was "hey hey hey!" says it all. If it was switched and 4I were 4 men (with the same talent) and R&B were two women, 4I would probably win and R&B would have gone out week 1 or 2.

R&B seem like one of those acts that were destined for the final in BGT or something. Not XF. They'll appeal to no one. And sell no records.

I wonder what's happening with the winner's single this year? Are the contestants choosing which song to cover themselves? Or are Syco picking out a random past hit like 'Skyscraper' again? Coz that's going to be interesting to hear these guys interpretation of a song like that...

Please let them win. We could do with another group winning

I'd LOVE if they won obviously given that they're my favourite act this year by a mile. I'm with Rich that they could really do something good from this. Look at Am I Wrong, Locked Away, Fuse ODG's success, the whole tropical house sound that could lend itself well to them outside this contest. None of the others are exactly gonna set the chart alight either so it may aswell be someone who can bring a fresh vibe imo.

Digital Spy (where I originally saw it but also been on NME, the Mirror etc.) were reporting a couple of weeks ago that Simon had already chosen it? (Though if someone could let me know that those reports were diminished since that would be lovely because I find "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan to be dull as f***)

There's no chance of Reggie n' Bollie winning if they have to sing a ballad as the winner's single I very much doubt they will anyway, Simon really wanted Fleur to win last year and look what happened there..

OMG if R'n'B have to sing/release Forever Young though
