Even Marcus's best friend didn't sound too convinced.

Are they releasing a christmas single if they win? :S

That too but there's hardly much point annoying myself with that at this stage.

Long drawn out clips of how Marcus & Little Mix want it so much, followed by more shots of their fans jumping up and down making fools of themselves, followed by the rejects hopping on stage and making Goldie sound like Beyonce....followed by a long clip of the winners single being prepared at the factory and then finally a long drawn out announcement of the results. Let's not forget Westlife and Coldplay. I agree it would have been better if the acts favourite performance of the series was their single if they won. (So Marcus would get Higher and Higher, Little Mix would get Don't Let Go)

I'm getting a little tired of Tulisa's "LITTLE MIX 4 PRESIDENT" speeches.....

I doubt there would be much difference really. Besides he's only first because the phone lines are the same as they were for last night. It might confuse things if Little Mix were first and he was second.

Marcus - I like this performance from Marcus, I think it was my favourite that he's done. 8/10 I don't know if we're still rating? I will anyway. :P

At the start it felt like Little Mix sucked Marcus in and he became the fifth member. (being positioned right next to them walking in) Don't think he stood out at all. Although then again neither did Little Mix really when everyone else walked on.

There is probably a group of people voting Little Mix just for this reason. :lol:

Are Little Mix definitely singing "Don't Let go" tonight then? If they rock it again it could sway it for them.

I don't think it's blatantly anyone. I still think Little Mix will win, but it'll be close. :lol: at X Factor Tracker though, Marcus's bar is almost empty.

I think Little Mix will manage to just muscle their way in. It'll be something like 52%/48% though. If you were ever going to vote for Little Mix, now's the time to do it. I actually voted for them three times so far. *hangs head in shame for feeding Simon's coffers*

Little Mix, there's absolutely no contest. Marcus is ok, but I'd sooner have Kitty, Sophie, Misha, Amelia or Janet in the final two instead of him.

People can only vote once on that poll too right? Whereas you have to factor in the people who'll vote countless times. Marcus will probably pick up many casual votes....but Little Mix will likely have more dedicated voters voting many times. If we want to have a look at X Factor Tracker (which has done pretty well with predictions): http://xfactortracker.com/ Little Mix seem to be well out in front. It's not a good indicator at all....but the majority of online polls I've seen have Little Mix storming ahead with Marcus nowhere. Don't want to chance luck but I think Little Mix will win tonight, but it'll be far closer than the odds and buzz would have you believe.

You'd be surprised how people can decide they like something (based on a whim) without ever watching it/listening to it/playing it. This isn't just x factor, but online I'm always seeing comments from people saying they love a game or a movie and it isn't even out yet.

It's funny to think when the auditions were happening a lot of people would have probably bet on it being an all girl final two. The girls just seemed that good.

I hope Little Mix win this, even if they come second they have a great career ahead of them. However Marcus would be a really bad winner in light of his recent performances. Go Little Mix!!! and yay we get to hear don't let go again. :P

I really hope Little Mix has made it through. :( I like Amelia, but she can be very hit and miss sometimes. Then there's Marcus who's more miss than hit.....(but not that bad really) I'd like to see Marcus go home, but actually though I feel like Little Mix might have more of a chance going up against Marcus in the final two than Amelia.

I thought Little Mix were going to be performing "Don't let go"? :unsure:

Amelia - Kelly was really shaky at the beginning. It seemed to get better later on...but I think that was mainly because Kelly sang along with Amelia for most of it. Amelia totally outshone Kelly in the vocals department. 7/10 (First Perf) Little Mix - 8/10 Amelia - 7.5/10 Marcus - 6/10 (Second Perf) Little Mix - 10/10 Marcus - 7.5/10 Amelia - 7/10

I'm wondering what a Kelly/Janet duet would have been like....

Maybe she was keeping it secret for her entire career on the off chance she'd end up being a judge on X Factor and then have to sing with a girl band in the final. Hmm probably not though. :P I will be shocked if that along with "Don't let go" doesn't get them to final two at least.

Little Mix (& Tulisa) - Surprised by Tulisa actually, I had watched some youtube videos of her live but they were all rubbish quality so I had no clue what to expect. Wow is all I have to say. I could have listened to them singing together for so much longer to be honest. The time went way too fast. :( 10/10 (First Perf) Little Mix - 8/10 Amelia - 7.5/10 Marcus - 6/10 (Second Perf) Little Mix - 10/10 Marcus - 7.5/10

Marcus - That was quite good and Gary Barlow does have a great voice. It's just a shame his talking voice isn't as pleasant as his singing one. 7.5/10 (First Perf) Little Mix - 8/10 Amelia - 7.5/10 Marcus - 6/10 (Second Perf) Marcus - 7.5/10

Here comes the sob story from Marcus :/ Not impressed.
