Amelia is definitely the best singer, she can do rock, pop and soul with ease. Marcus has neve rbeen that good a singer (by his own admission IIRC) but he is a very marketable popstar. It all depends on what material Little Mix get whether or not they will be successful, but I think they will possibly be as big as the Saturdays, not a new Sugababes (although they do remind me of golden era Sugababes (2.0/3.0) a bit).

17. Good Feeling - Flo Rida

 

Amelia is the worst singer left IMO. She just shouts. (Well, maybe she's not the worst singer, but her voice is my least favourite of those left).

Paradise number 1 :cheer: how amazing this would be if this actually got there at one point, who'd have thought they could have another number 1? :o

Yep I think Amelia should win but I doubt she will. XF this year is not good talent wise. Although I think Amelia is the best she is nothing special really. I used to love the Sugarbabes early on but obviously they don't even exist in that shape or form anymore. Little Mix are a bit overhyped for me, probably because normally girlbands are the first to go. But no matter how many times Joe asks I won't be voting for them LOL. The only postive this year is that the final is open. Normally it's obvious who will win long before now.

The final isn't completely open - it's pretty fair to assume Amelia has no chance at all, but it's hard to call between Marcus and Little Mix.

As if Marcus would be the most marketable male winner, he's gay FFS! Shane Ward was the most marketable male winner and Syco made a mess of his career.

What does his sexuality have to do with how marketable he is? :huh:

I wouldn't say she has no chance but agree she's probably third favourite.

I don't think being gay makes you not marketable tbh. Girls adore gay guys. And he could always go down the Adam Lambert route, or he could have a sex change and go down the Lady Gaga route.

It shouldn't have anything to do with it. But if you're trying to sell to teenagers for example it takes away the fantasy of fancying them etc etc (not for all but for most) That's one of the main reasons Wide Awake didn't work for Joe in my opinion. He would have been much more of a pin up if he wasn't gay. Luckily he's aimed at a much more adult audience now and it's working but for Marcus I'm not sure he can.

That's a bit drastic just to sell a few records :)

That's a bit homophobic tbh. Girls can still fancy gay guys, or want to be friends with them. Will Young has proved that you can be a big star and a successful artist and be openly gay more or less from the outset.

I wouldn't say "going down the Lady Gaga route" is drastic. All you have to rob a few things from the backstage area of a pantomine. :)

FFS indeed - at your attitude. Not impressed.

 

Will Young proves you wrong for a start.

But having a sex change just to sell records? :lol:

Whaaaa? You can be gay and be a pin up (Neil Patrick Harris anyone?) :P

Don't get me wrong I fancy Joe for example and he has quite a few young girl fans that I know too. I'm just meant teenagers can be mean about these things (believe me some of the comments I've seen are not nice) and when you're trying to sell a sexy image to a bunch of teenage girls it helps for them to think they are in with a chance however ridiculous that is.

 

Will Young appeals to a much more sophiscated (adult) audience who obviously just care about his talent which is how it should be. See my previous post about how talent should count above image :)

Of course you can, see my profile pic :)

I have absolutely no idea who he is :P He looks too young for me anyways.

What you did there, I see it.
