I’m going to put £5 on Kevin. He’s 9/1. There’s no way he’d not win if he gets through and performs Fast Love.

From another forum -

 

I've actually looked back, and people who sing upbeat in the final NEVER win. Saara singing Oh So Quiet, Fleur done Uptown Funk, Reggie N Bollie, Marcus Collins, Cher Lloyd, Olly Murs etc all done something upbeat so bye at Raksu's chances of winning

Becky Hill is opening the show on Saturday apparently, interesting that someone from The Voice has got herself some kind of slot.

Good on Becky Hill! I love her voice, she deserves appreciation.

 

Even if this show is complete trash now and full of talentless nobodies.

Becky will be with Pete Tong and the Heritage Orchestra to promote their album presumably? Good for them.

From another forum -

Little Mix tho... You've Got the Love and 'Don't Let Go'.

 

Also:

 

Steve Brookstein - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher

Leon Jackson - Better the Devil You Know

Joe McElderry - Don't Stop Believin'

Matt Cardle - Firework

James Arthur - Feeling Good

Sam Bailey - The Edge of Glory

Ben Haenow - Man In the Mirror

 

Although some of those might be mid tempo, they're certainly not the dull, dreary sort of ballads that that poster is probably comparing them to. Lol.

Also, pretty much all those instances had the obvious winners anyway so uptempo or ballad it wasn't gonna make a difference. At the time I did fear R&B could snatch it, Saara I thought could win (but I don't thonk it was really singing uptempo that damaged her, it was probably the more casual voters coming in for the final and preferring the bland traditonally X Factor attractive male with a nice voice) and I had blind hope for Fleur I suppose but for the others it was obvious that who won would win, as much as Saara, Fleur and Olly should have won.

 

I really can't see past Rak-Su storming this but I would love to be wrong, they'll get their wrung out one hit wonder anyway.

Steve Brookstein - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher & Higher

Leon Jackson - Better the Devil You Know

Joe McElderry - Don't Stop Believin'

Matt Cardle - Firework

James Arthur - Feeling Good

 

Those all sound terrible, especially Matt Cardle! :lol:

Yup, performing Sing It Back!

People are also saying Rat-Su may not do well in a flash vote. Here's hoping!

Edited December 1, 20177 yr by jase.

I'm guessing the winners track hasn't been announced yet, all 3 must have recorded it. I'm assuming we all have to wait till Sunday for the reveal.

So a cover ://

 

Flash votes didn't stop them winning before...

I thought they were referencing flash votes but no.

 

From the same forum -

 

They will not succeed in a vote that lasts longer than 10 mins.

That’s what I think too, if hey win Saturday night I’m certain they’ll fall back like Saara did.

Yup, they have only won flash votes they haven't won long votes

Yah and people on Buzzjack thought it would be an all girl finale when they were nearly the first category to be wiped out!! :lol:

Tokio Myers is doing one of the duets - I assume that'll be with Kevin?

Well that could be quite spectacular if so!

He tweeted it and then deleted it :lol: So yeah, definitely happening.

If it's Tokio Myers then I presume the song will be 'Bloodstream', which would suit Kevin more than anything, and I presume Nicole will be on stage with him too seeing as Tokio does not sing.

Fingers crossed for Rak-Su, but I do think it'll all be down to performance on the night.

 

Any idea on who the guest performers are tonight? Looking forward to Little Mix & CNCO

 

Please can guests and song choices go in the spoiler thread? It's not that difficult...
