X-Factor 2011

[DJKillaQueen]

They all sing two songs from this week onwards. I do think the right five acts are left and I can't really pick a winner. I like all of them. I think Marcus needs the win more than the others. Little Mix and the girls will all get picked up.

Male winners don't tend to do very well though. Matt Cardle's album sales are low. Joe McElderry, Leon Jackson and Steve Brookstein all flopped and Shayne Ward was dropped eventually too.

[Otta]

Joe was never going to make it in anything other than musical theatre IMO.

[Jeremy]

It's because they're all fucking awful.

Little Mix to win

:)

[Otta]

You said that already. I'm not particularly liking anyone now. Amelia Lily has a voice I quite like, but can't stay in tune.

[Annette Curtain]

Oh....

Hey, the Muppets were on.

Hey, the Muppets were on.

Other than that, I'm not giving much of a fig.

Though, if Janet stays it's CRAPIER than CRAPPY

Yes, I said that last week.....

I said it again this week.....

And will probably say it next week too!

I will continue to say it until they are voted out, because I think they are the best act & I want them to win.

P.S. Janet deserved to go.

C'MON CRAIG!

DO IT FOR SCOTLAND!! :X

[aquarius moon]

Unfortunately for Misha, she was never going to make the final, due to her unpopularity with the public.

A shame, because she was the best singer in the competition.

I'm happy though. My favourites are still in.

Little Mix to win

:))

[Otta]

The best act by a million miles went, because her face didn't fit with Sun readers.

[ibilly99]

Now utter rubbish but still glued to XFactor USA which wipes the floor with this barrel scrapings looking forward to seeing Jesy Nelson on Celebrity Fat Club in the near future.

I really hope that's not the argument I think you are making.

[Otta]

Probably not, but as I don't know what you think that I'm thinking, I can't be sure.

[DJKillaQueen]

Micha is destined for a great career anyway. I think Marcus needs to win most but I think I'd like to see Little Mix win it now :)

[Otta]

Agreed, except I don't really want little mix to win, because they're not my thing. Amelia is probably closest to my thing, but I agree with Gary Barlow about her voice.

[ibilly99]

Just heard Misha's exit song on Sky Plus - best performance of the comp so far - I fear the second rate Spice Girls Little Mix are a show in now - what a farago.

[*Bob*]

You're right - Little Mix will never match-up to the incredible singing talent that was THE SPICE GIRLS

[ibilly99]

Wheels within wheels of mediocrity welcome to previously Great Britain 2011 dancing at the edge of the Euro abyss !

[maxxi]

- as a session singer

- which means the in-fighting "I'm the best singer you little bich?!" is about to begin

- ssems the voting public this year hated the obvious attempts to influence them (mischa b) and voted against what they saw as Cowell and co.'s wishes so I wouldn't bet agin her.

Which leaves Marcus to be the new Joe McElderry(?) and be waiting tables somewhere near you soon...

You reckon? I'd rate it as one of her less good performances (and that pre-song rap was cringe-worthy). She's quite average with a dreary ballad. That attempt at Whitney Houston a few weeks back was sleep inducing.

Give her something with an R&B kick that she can belt out and it's a different story. Her version of 'Proud Mary' a few weeks ago was pretty damn good and she's the only person I've heard that's even come close to Adele with 'Rollin in the Deep'.

[ibilly99]

Agree with your commentsthe pre-rap but the next piece pulled at my heart strings and tear ducts so I base my judgement on the tingle favor. And yes she is destined to be a great session Diva.

[DJKillaQueen]

She'll be signed up and out with her first album before the end of next year. It'll be promoted properly and will do well. Not quite what happens to a session singer is it? She's much better than that and you have to remember how young she still is.

Little Mix are overall better singers than the Spice Girls (Mel C being the only person who had a half decent voice). Everything will depend on how they are managed and how good the songs are that are written for them. But again, I fancy their chances. JLS were often off key with their xfactor performances but have done very well for themselves since.

Agree on Marcus following Joe McElderry, but think he will have a great future in musical theatre. Matt Cardle's Biography *cough* has already made it to the shelves of poundland.....looking ominous for him too.

JLS got lucky when Cowell pulled out on agreement to sign them and they were picked up by Epic. Otherwise they would have been churning out Westlife-style dross and on the scrapheap by now.

[DJKillaQueen]

I totally agree with that Loz. Even Joe McElderry has managed to sell twice as many copies of his Christmas Covers Album (signed to another label) than he did copies of his Cowell winner's album (before being dumped by Syco of course). Leona Lewis has been made completely boring as well.

In many ways it's better not to win the xfactor.

As an aside, Micha B is in talks with Missy Elliot for a collaboration and Kelly Rowland is keeping her hand in too. Can't see Cowell letting her go to any other label but his own though.
