I'm sad to see James go. I liked his voice but his first live show performance didn't do much unfortunately.

 

I was worried that Sophie was gonna go home, but I'm glad she got through because I like her voice. I wasn't crazy about Amelia.

So basically bring back Pop Idol :P (with groups allowed)

No I say we just have 16 girls under the age of 25. It'll be amazing TV viewing...

ODDS NOW:

 

Janet - 11/4

Misha B - 4/1

The Risk - 6/1

Craig - 7/1

Sophie - 10/1

Frankie - 14/1

Marcus - 16/1

Sami - 40/1

Nu Vibe - 50/1

Kitty - 66/1

Rhythmix - 66/1

Johnny Robinson - 66/1

 

I can't believe Sophie's doing even that well in the odds, and Frankie so badly (though I'm not complaining about either)

Glad Misha is high up, she is amazing!

Sophie really could win this, might put a bet on tomorrow, have never put a bet on anything properly before :heehee:

Looks like the bookies don't have a clue then. A lot of punters I know are putting their money on Janet, but I'm not convinced. Craig is the dark horse imo, and Frankie/Marcus are both way too over-priced.

Judging by this year's standard I certainly would agree with that :heart:

If I had to put my money on one person to win this now, I think I would go for Craig :o

Matt Cardle is giving an amazing performance on Xtra Factor now. So much better than his performance for 'Run For Your Life' :o

If I had to put my money on one person to win this now, I think I would go for Craig :o

 

No thanks! He's good, but after Joe and Matt, we need a girl to win!

Bradley from Nu Vibe is sooo gay. His face on xtra factor when asked if loved rhe girl attention was hilarious

I'm sorry guys (and I genuinely am as I quite like her), but only in the heads of internet forum teenage gays is Sophie a potential winner. She SMACKS of being Lucie Jones Mark II. Lovely and pleasant, but I really can't think where she's going to pick a solid fanbase up from.

Was it just me or did that guy on the xtra factor say "Nu Shoes"

 

Tulisa should try to merge them together! :lol:

Teenage gays? There are loads of people saying she could win from old to young, to gay to straight, not really a valid generalization. :unsure:

 

Amelia fighting talk on Xtra Factor :lol:

Much in the same way we have people here anticipating an "all girl female". Can we not think outside of our own preferences and see the bigger picture? There are other fanbases for different acts. I know I've said it before but this whole topic is becoming stifled with this tunnel vision, personal preference towards the girls.

I'm more inclined to say that Amelia would have been the Lucie Jones of this series! She definitely fitted the bill of a young, good singer who appeals to young girls but ultimately fails to get a wider fanbase non? Sophie has an aura of being a bit more mature and has potential to be a bit of a dark horse (although I agree she doesn't stand a chance of actually winning)

If Matt Cradle does badly a girl will be steered to win they are the only ones that have a chance of success it seems.

Really like the Risk expect them to make it far.

I really think The Risk could make the final, and are going to do very well out of this. They are a male group, but very different from JLS & OneD, unlike NuVibe i see them going mid-competition once Johnny, Kitty & Sami go.

All the decisions made were the right ones I think (apart from 2 Shoes...Nu Vibe AND Rhythmix are far worse than them!).

Pleased Marcus and Sophie are through.
