As much as I hated him (for his arrogance) before he made the final cut, he is terribly good, and comes across as much more humble in the lives shows. I would like to see him and Hope in the final.

he was the victim of bad editing during the auditions/bootcamp, and while i agree tha hope are vv good (and weve not had a group win the xfactor before) i just cant see young girls (who do the voting) voting for them. which is kind of where the xfactor format falls down for me. last night after rhydian sang dh (who abhores these shows) rang to vote for him. because a lot of people who liked him wouldnt iykwim. and thats the problem hope will have imho

He does have an amazing voice. I think Hope are good too but Simon is not doing them any favours by making them look like slappers.

smartiejake · 11/11/2007 10:22

I agree he is supremely talented but not pop star material. Can't see him in the charts with the likes of Leona and Shayne. He will definately be a big star in the west end though. Thing I like about him is that his vocals are always 100% reliable. No bum notes. Seems less arrogant in the live shows too. Think Niki or Beverley will win. There is noone else to touch them voice wise. Loath Same difference but you are right they can sing. Don't know what the judges wereon about with hope this evening. Their harmonies set my teeth on edge!

lisad123 · 11/11/2007 10:26

i hated him to start with but agree last night was amazing. i would love to hear him sing without the opera bit to his voice though.
think he might win but i do like hope but agree simon tried to dress them like tarts, ones only 15!!!

turquoise · 11/11/2007 10:31

If it's really about talent then Rhydian should win, no question. He's the only one who's got that bit extra - Nikki and Bev are ok but nothing special. I'm glad Dannii had the sense to see through the hype and put him in the finals. She's turning out to be a really good addition to the show imo, she's right more often than Simon these days! She was spot on about Hope and Nikki last night.
Hope are one good singer and a load of slightly rough looking, not very good backing singers - they've got to be tarted up to distract from that.
The rest are crap.

smartiejake · 11/11/2007 10:36

Hope are actually made up from singers who were thrown out at boot camp because they were not good enough. How they got into the live finals is beyond me. Agree about Dannii she's very objective in her comments and doesn't get drawn into the handbag fight that Louis and Simon are always involved in.

turquoise · 11/11/2007 10:39

Waht amazes me is why the Scots vote for utterly uncharismatic bad singers simply because they're scottish! Very weird

smartiejake · 11/11/2007 10:44

Exactly. Same happened last year with the awful Mac Donald brothers.

isnt he just fantastic

last night I sat in silence (doesnt happen often lol) with my mouth open!!!! he was amazing

defo should win

agree he was very badly edited at the beginning, he seems really nice

No reason he cant be in the charts, doesnt have to be pop music to have a chart hit

lissie, would rather not all a bit ugly

Moomin · 11/11/2007 11:31

who got chucked out?

lisad123 · 11/11/2007 11:34

Andy, the one with the lovely puppy dog eyes.

Peachy · 11/11/2007 11:38

I'll be happy if same difference or rhyddian win (pref Rhyddian with SD in 2nd). Doubt they will but at least they perform, the rest are just so same old same old. Who is going to buy CD's by Nikki? She's good- but a season in chicago and theat'll be it I suspect (justmy old opinion though). Can't stick leon- what's that all about?

Peachy · 11/11/2007 11:39

Lisa, Andy lives round here apaprently- if I see him I shall pass on your comments (or maybe not but anyway)

lessthanafiver · 11/11/2007 14:39

is there something wrong with leons knees, im not trying to be rude about him but the way he bounces up and down all the time is a bit odd.

Furball · 12/11/2007 06:51

doubt it ll, he fell out with simon and got chucked off his record deal.

MerlinsBeard · 12/11/2007 10:01

leona and shane have their albums out with their own songs on whereas steve sings other peoples songs and has o label so i doubt he will be back!
