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

[Flamebat]

How's that for a combined thread title??

Leona can sing but, god, she's boring. Hate that style of oversinging.

the way these comps have gone in the past, it wouldn't suprise me if Leona went tonight

But even if she did, it won't make any difference, surley she would be signed up so fast

bet they are queuing!!

You see Ray just didn't do it for me tonight - not sure why, he just didn't I think Leona will win

Leona is a great singer but I guess it's about what you think the X Factor is. I like Christina Aguleria SP? cos even thought she has a great voice she does something different with it. You probably need confidence for that.

I know its the season of goodwill and all that but Ben is just sh!te.

no really mistletoo - say what you think

I have to admit for voting for Ray 3 times again. DH thought singing a Liverpool song was a cheap shot (I didn't as I'd already voted before he sang the second song).

Pleased to see Leona didn't spend her time bent in half with her fists clenched.

My Mystic Meg prediction is that Ben will be going home tonight...........

I bloody missed the performances and am now watching the results. I think Leona should win because she has a brilliant voice (but goddamit, someone needs to give her dancing lessons and straighten our her knock knees)

I think Ray can perform but his voice is often dodgy.

I used to think Ben should win but he just seems to shout these days.

I agree with JT, Ben is crap.

GO GO GO RAYMONDO

Awwwww poor Ben.

Ray is so false i feel.

come on raymondooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ben should definitely be in the final over Ray. But I'm happy - it means Leona has to win now.

Not read thread. Not seen tonight - got update from MoM and I just want to say

ray to win. Leona is faultless, but no personality. I don't realy like that Celine Deon type warblimng singing either even when done well.
Ray not the best singer but cheeky, commited and I think genuine.

Have to agree with Mistletoo, Ben was crap tonight. I thought he murdered the first song. Leona has got an amazing voice, but shame she hasn't got the personality to go with it. Even the judges think that, they just disguise the way they say it. Quite pleased that Ray's in the final I wouldn't be surprised if he won, there are a lot of Liverpudlians out there... Watched ITV2 in the week, where they film them at the X Factor house, and Ray was quite funny. I definately think he's got the best personality.

Dont care who wins now, Im not watching it anymore.

I have liked ray from start he just makes me smile.. hope he wins go Ray go Ray

I shouted, "Arse" at the tv set when that grinning gimp suited countenance of RayRay went through to the final. None of them are much good really - these people have gone unnoticed for good reason until now but how RayRay has got this far at all has baffled me (especially after his boot camp performance). However, he got reprieved by Simon as he undoubtedly thought, "I could market him to the middle aged women and grannies of this nation".

He has a future career as a cruise boat crooner.
P&O need to be on to his agent right now.

ray to win ray to win ray to win. I know his voice isnt as good as leonna but i do think overall he is a better performer (and he's lovely)

Ok you can see something in this grinning countenance faced cheeky chappie who looks about 14 and wearing his Dad's old suit (he reminds me of a young Cliff Richard) that I just cannot see - even with alcohol. He undoubtedly as well kept getting all the lead parts in all the school plays.

If Simon is thinking along the lines of internationally selling "artiste" (I use that term advisedly as well) then Leona would stand a better chance of breaking these markets. RayRay is strictly a UK based performer; there is no international market for him (unless of course its on a Caribbean based cruise boat). May he next week hopefully sink back into the mediocrity he belongs in.

Not naffin watching it now

[Charlee walks off sulking with her bottom lip stuck out]

If it is Mums and Grannies watching next Saturday I think Ray will win as he will turn out some old, old songs whereas Leona (please someone teach me to walk in high heels) will probably churn out something by Whitney Houston that the Grannies won't know.

Think Ray is a very good all rounder, Leona is an excellent singer but not much of a performer.

I am suprised that Ray is in the final

He has really grown on me in the last few weeks, and I am SO glad that Ben has gone

But I still don't see Ray as a pop star and in a way it will be a shame if he wins as he will be around for a year then gone like the others

He should get into Theatre, he is great at that kind of thing and will last longer there

Do think leona should still win, just for the fact that her voice is just out of this world. She may seem a bit shy and not much personality but you don't see that when she sings

Don't you think Leona is just shy and she will change as she gets more confidence.

I'm out of the country, so will be relying on Mumsnetters to do a running commentary on the final tonight. Please?

Does it begin soon?
