X factor - Give your early predictions on who will win the games here! (Combined Thread)

[Flamebat]

How's that for a combined thread title??

mwahahaha - can we all waste money voting for McDull and see how powerful the force of MN can be?? We could make em WIN!

No, let's not!!!

god they haven't even been in the bottom two.

I predict a stunning career on a par with Michelle McManus

I want to see a final with McDros and Ray, just for the hell of it!

Ray to win of course, cos I can cope with Simon's arrogance more than I can cope with Louis jumping up and down, lol.

Listen to The Proclaimers and listen to The MacDonalds bros - Mac Ds are just dull,dull,dull whatever they sing...
Can I also say that Anthony from Eton Road is one of the most beautiful boys I've seen for ages - or am I a sad old woman...?

and what a difference in his face since the auditions - from gaunt to healthy

They always stick him in trousers that slice his waist in half though so he looks really wide - he's teeny when he turns sideways.

Why does everybody love Leona? Shes devoid of personality

eaton road were crap this week - absolutely crap.

Pinky and Perky, AKA McDonald brothers are like wedding singers and will be back singing in the pubs of Glasgow or wherever it is they come from by Christmas. But they will be in the final, and Leona will win.

And Ray will go out next week because it is fixed.

Can't stand her - she has a nice voice, but nothing different to any other out there. She's only in it cos she's sleepin with mr cowell - I preferred nikkita

Is she?

oh, that's random speculation...

nothing different?? i think the standard of singers must be higher where u live Flame!

nothing different to the ones already selling albums - she is another mariah, I want something different...

oooooh that kind of different. i see now! she is different though. Leona can do that untrained and has less vibrato which makes it nicer to listen to. Wish they would challenge her more though, Whitney aside

so you don't want another Rod Stewart either then?

there are only so many types.

The really successful singers the megastars all write their own stuff

Reality performers who have hit the big time and write their own stuff - Will Young and Lemar - so far (Darius I suppose to a lesser degree) those that let the managers take over - fade and die

do you really think Leona is sleeping with Simon, or are you just joking?

There is no way. She doesn't look like she could say boo to a goose let alone take her clothes off in front of Mr Cowell!!!!!!!!!!! lol lol

Plus he has a partner, who was in the audience last week.

He is far too old for her, could actually ruin her chances of winning and he would be in trouble

So is Sharon sleeping with Ben? Maybe even Louis with the Macdonald Brothers?

well even

the contestants
think it's fixed.

I actually like ben. I don't think he's just rod Stewart - he plays the piano bloody well and being a musician isn't just about being a singer IMO.

lol, I have no idea about if she is sleeping with him - she is very much his type, and I think that he puts more enthusiasm into her because of that (like with unhealthy amount of effort that went into Chico).

Another Rod Stewart - when was the last time he was in the charts? We are still getting stuff from the Mariahs, Christinas, even Kelly Clarkson (who I prefer lots to Leona) etc (Britney'll be back before you know it), but there isn't anyone much doing soft rock type stuff (all the men out there are doing the slow depressing James Blunt/James Morrison style stuff), so at least it makes a change. If Ray was more natural and less stage show I would want him too - I like swing, and there isn't anyone likable out there doing it (thinking back to the thumping Jamie Cullum conv...), so again, he is more different.

pmsl @ that article "X factor winners have always been made to release an awful song..."

Do you remember last year when a website had a "pre order" bit up for about 10 mins where you could buy the X factor single "By Shane Ward" before he had won???

Great! the vote at the end asks 'who will win?'

Leona
Maccydees
ROBERT (wtf?)
Ben

I quite liked Chicco lol lol lol

Isnt anyone watching tonight?!!!

I thought, yet again, Leona was fantastic

But in a funny way, I really took to Ray tonight!! He just puts so much into it

why do I have a funny feeling the Mac Bro will go straight through!!!! I thought the dark one was out of tune in the first song!

mcdonald brothers make me want to hold my own head under water. Cannot stand them.

I love leona, her voice is amazing and I could easily listen to her album.

I thought the MacDs were horribly out of tune all through the Manilow song, and then to do the Bay City Rollers was just gruesome.
I loved Ray tonight, had been cringing at the thought of him doing My Way and was actually really moved and impressed.
Didn't think Ben's Queen number entirely worked, and Leona just doesn't have any soul for me, even though her voice is superb.

Go! Ben! Go! Ben! Go! Ben!
