I think it's disgusting that the winner's single is always a cover. Shane Ward winner of series 2 is the only winner to have an original song. Also they are all ballads In other countries the winner has an original and the finalists get to record the own single that suits them - not the same one. Series 1 - Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds -- originally by Phil Collins Series 3 - Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This -- originally by Kelly Clarkson Series 4 - Leon Jackson - When You Believe -- originally by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston Series 5 - Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah -- originally by Jeff Buckley Series 6 - Joe McElderry - The Climb -- originally by Miley Cyrus Series 7 - Matt Cardle - When We Collide -- originally by Biffy Clyro (with the title Many Of Horror) Series 8 - Little Mix - Cannonball -- originally by Damien Rice Series 9 - James Arthur - Impossible -- originally by Shontelle Series 10 - Sam Bailey - Skyscraper -- originally by Demi Lovato Series 11 - Ben Haenow - Something I Need -- originally by OneRepublic

I loved Fleur's first performance but I thought her duet with Labrinth was a real let down. Her worst ever performance of the series. Surely they could have got someone better than Labrinth. They should have had her duet with Meghan Trainor and All About That Bass. Meghan could have performed her latest single Lips Are Movin' Still Fleur to win though

Thought I'd let people know that Fleur has entered the European Top 200 at #108 with Uptown Funk. It may not seem so high but some other big names that have entered much lower are: 125 - James Blunt - When I Find Love Again 168 - Olly Murs Featuring Demi Lovato - Up 175 - Nicki Minaj Featuring Skylar Grey - Bed Of Lies You can view this chart HERE

Nicki Minaj - revolting woman :puke2:

Fifth Harmony - Brilliant Please - Please - Please can we have a series without the repulsive I love myself BUBLE. :puke2: :puke2: :puke2: There's no way I would buy that Sam Bailey single it's Cruise Ship rubbish. I nearly fell asleep.

Thank God - I wouldn't be voting for her if she was. Beyoncé is pants compared to Rihanna.

No way - is Fleur not as good as Misha B. Fleur is a better singer, rapper, all round performer that Misha B could ever be. I just couldn't stand this woman.

And Louis said he'd never heard it at all. Just where have they been - the song is currently #8 in US, #4 in Canada, #2 in Australia and charting in most European countries. In fact the UK is well behind as usual as it isn't due for official release here until 12 January. Fleur deserves to win X-Factor now - she's a complete entertainer - all Andrea can do is stand in one place singing ballads - a one trick pony. He may have a good voice but is too predictable. IMO Andrea to go this week.

Anyone heard this before? Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It's Christmas (Deutsche Version) currently #1 in Germany whist the UK version is at #3 O2-wMtxZvIQ Artists involved are: Campino, Philipp Poisel, Clueso, Seeed, Andreas Bourani, Ina Müller, Jan Delay, Marteria, Michi Beck of Die Fantastischen Vier, Max Herre, Cro, Sportfreunde Stiller, Silbermond, Milky Chance, Max Raabe, Wolfgang Niedecken, Udo Lindenberg, Sammy Amara of Broilers, Anna Loos, Peter Maffay, Thees Uhlmann, Gentleman, Patrice, Jan Josef Liefers, Adel Tawil, 2raumwohnung, Donots, Jennifer Rostock, Joy Denalane

Anyone know when it comes down to just the public vote. I thought it began with the final 5 but I was wrong.

Thank You Simon for at last helping to get rid of those morons. I think Mel B & Louis must be tone deaf. Louis says they are consistant every week. He should mean consistently bad :puke2: Lauren's sing-off was flawless. Best I've heard her sing. If she sings like that next week she could be a dark horse. Also Ella Henderson definitely put Union J to shame. Ella's now selling all over the world but Union J only UK & Ireland.

Hopefully Andrea to go home this week. :) This would leave it the best final since 2011

Fifth Harmony got to 3rd place in the second series of X Factor USA and are currently doing quite well in the US. They are a US version of Little Mix. They also auditioned as solo artists and put together like Little Mix. Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer gCJ3rmiZFr8

My Bottom 2 would be: Stereo Kicks: There isn't one decent voice between them. 2 disastrous performances Simon only rates them because he put them together and Louis because they're his act - just a bunch morons acting like 14 year olds who appeal to 10 year old girls. :puke2: :puke2: Andrea: 1 disastrous performance and one so-so. He acts and talks so girlie though. For me now the final show should be: Winner - Fleur 2nd - Ben 3rd - Lauren I think Fleur is the only one who has realistic chance of a lengthy career - maybe Ben

Band Aid have made 4 versions of Do They Know It's Christmas. Band Aid in 1984 - Band Aid II in 1989 - Band Aid 20 in 2004 - Band Aid 30 in 2014. All versions made #1 on 1st week of release. All except Band Aid II has featured Bono in the line up. Anyone think that the latest version will beat the sales of the original version (which also charts again this week). It sold over 1 million copies in it's first week of release. Staying at #1 for 5 weeks. It has sold 3.7 million to date in the UK alone making it the second best selling single ever in the UK behind Elton John Candle In The Wind '97.

Andrea & Stereo Kicks for bottom 2 hopefully with SK getting the push. They just act like little 12 year old schoolboys.

What annoys me most is when they say 'Coming Up' or 'In Next Week show' then they show clips from them. It spoils the viewing if you know what is happening in the future.

Motown star Jimmy Ruffin had died in intensive care at a hospital in Las Vegas He had hits mainly in the late 60s & early 70s. Best known for the hit 'What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted' - he had 8 more UK hits and more in the US. These are some of the UK hits. What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted - #10 in 1966 & #4 in 1974 UQU4sIn96M4 I've Passed This Way Before - #29 in 1967 & #33 in 1969 RjDPbr6bbJE I'll Say Forever My Love - #7 in 1970 P92l73APG_U Farewell Is A Lonely Sound - #8 in 1970 usvXCt6uQ60 Hold On To My Love - #7 in 1980 sjSluMwC73k R.I.P. Jimmy

This will be the 3rd week i'm not watching. Same old rubbish - I don't mind some of Elton but there's only one WH song I like and that's One Moment In Time. Even with EJs vast catalogue they'll probably do the same few songs as last year which I don't think are his best apart from Your Song.

I know that - but the judges shouldn't have the casting vote - it should be entirely down to the public vote. The one with the least votes should be eliminated and if it's a double elimination the bottom 2 should go. The judges have had their votes before the lives.

Personally I would ditch the sing-off and just go with the public vote. After all the judges are just giving their personal opinions and not the public's. That's why very few winners ever get anywhere after the winner's single. Only Leona, Alexandra and Little Mix. I think you have a better career coming 2nd to 6th. Look at One Direction, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd (especially in USA), Ella Henderson etc.

Own Up!!! Who would buy Stevi's music if he won?

Saving Stevi :puke2: Just what has She Bangs have to do with Big Band - It's should come under the theme of Latin

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
