November 16, 201410 yr Perhaps Andrea is in danger? His photo was up a lot earlier than Fleur's & Stevi's. If Andrea is in the bottom 2 with Jay tonight, Jay is most likely gone out of the two, the other judges will save Andrea. I do think Fleur's main competition is Andrea. If Andrea goes I reckon Fleur could actually win it this year. For some reason I'm thinking Simon will have 2 acts in the final Ben and Fleur and the third will be between Lauren or Andrea. I love to see OTY in the final but I don't think they get there.
November 16, 201410 yr You say this, but you worship anything a good looking male does seemingly. You stanned over JAKE f***ING QUICKENDEN. Do not try to act like you are holier than thou and play the double standard card, your comments on here regarding X Factor are very tiring. By all means have your own opinion but the ridiculous conspiracy theories as to why your faves get eliminated (theyre just shit) and how females get fawned over no matter what is soooo boring. X Factor threads have become a chore to read because of you tbh. I didn't stan for Jake, he was hot just the obvious bias against him by producers was annoying me. It is also annoying me the treatment Fleur is getting but the other way, the producers are forcing her to go as far as possible. Last night Fleur was in Andrea's VT, Lauren's VT, her family were in the crowd. Simon bigged up her performance before she even did it (a clear sign she was going to get great comments whatever happened) non of the judges mentioned how strained her voice was after. She got the pimp slot at the end and is always in the 2nd half of the show running order wise. In fact aren't her and Stevi the only 2 who haven't been on in the first 3 acts of the lives, which tells you everything. All I can say about the rest you said is I don't give a toss, I don't post to please someone like you who clearly struggles with others opinions. I don't even bat an eyelid at you inanely saying OTY are amazing each week even if they do a dump on stage.

Do you even like X Factor because all it sounds to me is that you like to moan weekly about most of the acts every week! Who is your fave even? Bet you don't have one!

November 16, 201410 yr Much as I love her, I'm not going to delude myself into thinking Fleur actually has much of a chance at victory. It'll probably be Ben or Andrea, with her the other act in the final. I hope I'm wrong though because she's the only one approaching being a popstar.
November 16, 201410 yr Do you even like X Factor because all it sounds to me is that you like to moan weekly about most of the acts every week! Who is your fave even? Bet you don't have one! I like Mel B :cheer: Andrea has a great voice, Ben is hot and with the right song his voice is good. I just don't know how people can watch the X factor and not see how manipulated it is, how could you invest in an act on it knowing that if it isn't the act Simon/the producers want they wont be in the final or get very far.
November 16, 201410 yr But what if people watch knowing full well all that is true and actually do enjoy it? I love the show, even if every single movement is managed. I'm not sure how that stops you investing in an act, virtually every pop star, band, or entertainer is manipulated and managed to a large degree, so it's essentially no different other than trying to flog you their musical wares they are trying to get you to vote for them.

What I mean is to invest in an act you think are good/great to see them used as cannon fodder or manipulated in a bad way. I mean Paul had a really smooth voice, did nothing wrong bar being shy and unmarketable and the noose was put around his neck. The show feels more forced than ever and I guess if I'm honest I watch out of habit like a lot do now I'd assume. Edited November 16, 201410 yr by sammy01
November 16, 201410 yr This is completely backwards. Silly public (I'm aware FB users aren't an accurate representation :P) Yes but everyweek they have got the bottom 3 correct, apart from one week with SK. They have more validity them some people think. Edited November 16, 201410 yr by #Harmonizer4life
November 16, 201410 yr Yes but everyweek they have got the bottom 3 correct, apart from one week with SK. They have more validity them some people think. Well I'd be very surprised if Andrea ends up in the bottom 2 tonight and I can't believe Fleur is down there given the performance/comments/final slot effect. Always welcome a shock though!

Always welcome a shock though! That is what im hoping for *Evil Laugh* But it hink it will be a Sevie/Jay, Stevie/SK, Jay/SK
November 16, 201410 yr This week I'd say the FB likes wont be very representative as 3 of the 4 faves (Andrea, Lauren and Ben) were earlier in the running order. This week was all about giving Fleur her moment and I'd assume trying to close the gap on those 3 (she's probably overtaken Lauren now). Stevi was given everything again too. Jay was the main target tonight I'd say, the judges arguing over something and chatting about things other than the performance after it is usually a classic way to shun the performance and make people forget the actual singing.
November 16, 201410 yr I've not even bothered watching the last 2 weeks because of the themes. Both themes so predictable. MJ/Queen always has the same old predictable songs. Big Band Week rarely has anything to do with big band music which is from the 40s. It is only that they have a live backing band. I only like 3 of the acts anyway - Fleur - Lauren - Ben Edited November 16, 201410 yr by euro music
November 16, 201410 yr Yes but everyweek they have got the bottom 3 correct, apart from one week with SK. They have more validity them some people think.Not everyweek I think both time Stereo Kicks have been bottom 2 they have been near the top 3 on FB likes. Fleur's picture was also put up late after the show ended and the actual picture is a picture of her backstage and not on the stage performing like the others are.

November 16, 201410 yr I don't get why Fleur is so low :/ Stevi had the most likes by far when he was on last so it isn't that. Ugh. It's looking more and more likely Ben will walk this. I just keep thinking how he ticks the safe boxes a la Matt Cardle - he's a bit of an Everyman, is good looking in a "guy down the road you might fancy" and has a clear sense of himself as an artist without being too edgy or "out there". But virtually ALL the comments on the XF Facebook page seem to be his looks... "Omg gorgeous bby xxxx" "so sexy xxxx" rather than his horrifically grating gravelly voice. I reckon if it was a female with a gravelly voice like that but the same talent level, they'd have gone by now. Or if he looked like Stevi he'd have definitely gone by now. I know the X Factor is about the looks and the whole package, but still it's so frustrating :/

The show feels more forced than ever and I guess if I'm honest I watch out of habit like a lot do now I'd assume. Oh that never bothered me at all, because I am aware of how the show works and to be honest half of my enjoyment has always been getting riled up at a bad decision or the stupidity of it all. Paul was the sacrificial lamb because of his comments the week before,meh basically threw his mentor under the bus in a strop and Simon/the bosses almost always reward that kind of behaviour with removal of perks/being pushed. Besides he was never going to win/sell many records so he went at a time that was about right for him (bar Stevi, but the joke act operates in a different set of rules)

Besides he was never going to win/sell many records so he went at a time that was about right for him (bar Stevi, but the joke act operates in a different set of rules) You say went at the right time but vocal wise he was above Jay, Lauren, Stevi and Fleur (though I'll happily take arguments of people saying she is more performance than vocals).
November 16, 201410 yr About right, Jay is arguable, he has a less good voice but is a more easily marketable prospect (though still not likely to be much more successful), Lauren is much better, or at least has the potential to be much better if she gets some time and effort invested into her. And as I said Stevi operates on a different logic within the show so he doesn't count.
