June 8, 201312 yr Author I think Ash, Joseph, Karl and Leah will be the final 4 with Leah to win, that's my take on it.
June 8, 201312 yr I agree with Jack, I'd rather have Team Will with 3 acts in the final 8. Can't remember who Ash is but considering it's Jessie J's team, they probably make dogs howl when they sing (or something to that effect? :D ). Would be interesting to see the breakdown of votes for each contestant. Again, I'm pretty certain that someone who was eliminated last night received more votes than someone in another team who won the public vote. Therefore it doesn't represent who the most popular singer in the contest is. However, with Leah up to #4 on iTunes I think it's safe to say that this series is already better than last year by actually releasing their performances (in studio quality too) on iTunes. It adds a bit of excitement to the show that was seriously lacking last year in the live shows. Let's see if Leah gets into the iTunes top 10 next weekend after she performs on The Voice. If she does, then it's pretty much set in stone that Leah is the true winner regardless of where she finishes in the show.
June 8, 201312 yr I think next week the public vote will have Ash, Joseph, Andrea (:cry:) and Cleo sent home.
June 8, 201312 yr Author Let's see if Leah gets into the iTunes top 10 next weekend after she performs on The Voice. If she does, then it's pretty much set in stone that Leah is the true winner regardless of where she finishes in the show. I think the public seem to like Leah, which actually shows with her track been top 10 on iTunes, but so far she hasn't had the public vote, anything can happen next week. Since Cleo is her only competition next week she should sail through to the final, Cleo's performance was ok last night but I can't see her going into the final. Will knows that Leah is the best act in his group, so it was pretty obvious she was going to be fast tracked to the semis.
June 8, 201312 yr I thought loads of people were watching it? Oh well. It was in a death slot on a hot summers Friday night. I imagine BARB ratings will be considerably higher, with recordings added in too. Still disappointing though. In the top 100 on iTunes, Leah is now up to #3(!), Mike is #39, Andrea is #58 and Karl is #68. I imagine the rest are between 101-500 or so.
June 8, 201312 yr I can't say I am surprised. Its change of slot to the Friday was not well publicised and I would imagine most people would have been out enjoying the sun as it was still boiling until around 10.
June 11, 201312 yr My faves in order: 01 Leah McFall 02 Mike Ward 03 Karl Michael 04 Cleo Higgins 05 Ash Morgan 06 Andrea Begley 07 Matt Henry 08 Joseph Apostol
June 15, 201312 yr So these were the odds for the 8 semi-finalists before the battles stage begun. I deleted the rest of the contestants that were below all 8 semi-finalists. 9/1 Liam Tamne 14/1 Alex Buchanan 14/1 Barbara & Carla 14/1 Karl Michael 14/1 Matt Henry 16/1 Ash Morgan 16/1 CJ Edwards 16/1 Cleo Higgins 16/1 Moni Tivony 16/1 Nadeem Leigh 16/1 Trevor Francis 20/1 Andrea Begley 20/1 Connor Scott 20/1 Joseph Apostol 20/1 Leah McFall 20/1 Lem Knights 20/1 Sarah Cassidy 25/1 Jamie Bruce 25/1 Mike Ward Now the odds are... 4/11 Leah McFall (It is 4/11 not 4/1, it's not a mistake!) 8/1 Ash Morgan 12/1 Andrea Begley 16/1 Mike Ward 16/1 Karl Michael 35/1 Joseph Apostol 50/1 Matt Henry 80/1 Cleo Higgins Quite dramatic changes! So happy Leah is a clear favourite, but I still don't think she is such a definite to go through tonight like most people think she is!
June 15, 201312 yr So happy Leah is a clear favourite, but I still don't think she is such a definite to go through tonight like most people think she is! I doubt Cleo's anywhere near as popular as Leah. Her studio version of Imagine didn't even reach top 100, whereas Leah's been top 10. She was put straight through by will.i.am, so I doubt she'll have any trouble getting votes from the public. Cleo's amazing, but I can see her going tonight. :cry:
June 15, 201312 yr I don't think the type of people who download the songs on iTunes though will be the type of people who will pick up the phone and vote. Also, there has been lots of hype around Leah so people may get complacent and not vote for her thinking she is bound to be safe. I hope I'm worrying for no reason though and I'll be proved wrong! :kink:

I hope I'm worrying for no reason though and I'll be proved wrong! :kink: Where else are they bound to have heard it to want to download it, though? At least half of the people who will vote tonight (for Leah) will be the people who have downloaded her song on iTunes (if her performances tonight are even any good :heehee:), so she should be safe enough. I doubt Cleo had much of a lead on Leanne either, because both are really good artists, but I can see why she won when her rendition of Imagine was fantastic, while Leanne's performance of Where Have You Been was unbelievably shit.
