Eoghan: Flat and just unbearable. 2/10

 

JLS: The best choice for them really but it's just stupid that this is what they're singing. What they should be doing is stuff like Justin, Timbaland and the like. 7/10

 

Alex: Not as good as her first 2 but still a lot better than JLS and Eoghan, Alex FTW! 9/10

Alexandra and Beyoncé were amazing.

 

EASILY the best vocal tonight came from Alexandra.

 

Eoghan is just awful.

is there any better way to turn off voters than having your acts sing with 2 of the most universally despised acts in the history of music?

 

Yes, Pestlife and Boyzzzzzone scuppered any chances JLS and Orville had of winning.

 

The Boeyonce duet with Alexandra was phenomenal...as was her Silent Night.

 

It's a contest that's just not even worth discussing - you've an act who's world class - and another 2 acts who are prize asses.

It really didn't bother me that Alex got a bit overwhelmed during Listen. It shows she's human. And as far as I can tell she didn't miss any queues and carried on singing quite professionally. I thought it was great :dance:

Alex has to win! And after tonights performance JLS deserve to come 2nd.

Oh but come on. Alex has just started out and well Beyoncé is...Beyoncé. A more fair comparison would be to to a 19 year old Beyoncé who I'd say Alex is pretty similar to. Whether the X-Factor hinders Alex in the long term or not remains to be seen. There's no reason why she couldn't be where Beyoncé is in 5 years time. Whether she gets the necessary artistic control to achieve that though remains to be seen.

 

Beyonce had already had 4 US #1 hit singles & 2 UK #1 hit singles with Destiny's Child which she co-wrote before the time she turned 20.

 

The very fact I gave the performance 10 out of 10 & have voted for Alexandra after saying all week I was going to do a spoiler vote for Eggnog speaks volumes of how sensational she has been tonight due to her near perfect singing and not going into oversinging/shouty mode like she has done on occasions in the past.

 

Good grief imagine if I'd given the performance 6 out of 10. :lol:

Alexandra hasn't had the chance to be supported by a successful girlgroup.

Exactly. I've hardly been Alexandra's biggest fan from the get go, but she has always said that Beyonce was her idol. So to perform with her on the biggest night of her life.... what do you expect. I thought it really endearing and showed warmth & humanity & it brought it out of Beyonce whom has been criticised by music critics in the past for lacking those two same things.

:lol: I am not some sort of obsessive fan.

 

But there's hardly a level playing field is there? Haha.

Exactly.

 

If I was on the stage with my idol performing one of my idol's songs, I'm sure I'd get carried away too.

 

also got the impression from Alex's initial reaction that she didnt have time to meet/ practise with Beyonce. JLS have a huge following, should be close between them and Alex.

I feel like Alexandra is gonna be 3rd. I just don't have confidence in her chances even though she's obviously the best. :lol:

ALEX TO WIN!

i have the same feeling that she wont win actually even though she is the best

After the Xmas Songs & the Duets:

 

The X-Factor Winner:

 

Betfair.com Odds:

 

Alexandra Burke 8/11 odds on

JLS 2/1

Eoghan Quigg 8/1

 

Incredibly Alexandra's odds have continued to slightly lengthen. JLS continue to close the gap; whilst Eoghan is beginning to look like a hopeless case.

But remember this time last year Rhydian was 1/6 on Fav to win & Leon Jackson's odds drifted out to 8/1 3rd fav during the Final show.....

Am I the only one that thinks Kimberley can't really sing? :kink:
