The X Factor 2008

Alex winning would be a nice story. She really wants it and she had that knock back three years ago etc.

J2O winning it wouldn't upset me either. I think they'd have a longish career. Groups seem to have more longevity in the industry.

Eggnog winning it would piss me right off.

alexandra is a bit dull. it's like leona #2, same style of pop songs and singing.

I really can't understand why people compare them. I don't think they are alike at all - Leona has a higher range, Alex's voice is deeper and more soulful (IMO).

Alex is far more believable right now than leona was at the same point- alex sounds like herself, whereas i thought Leona sounded like a mutant clone of mariah/christina/whitney!!

diana will do well, but i bored of her very quickly....

I agree. I like Alex much more than I liked Leona at the time - my favourites in her year were Dion and Robert. I like her now though, her album is great (although not normally the type of music I would listen to).
 
maybe as someone else has said on here, Alex won't win and it will be JML ? Maybe that is a good thing for Alex though, if she has proper talent that might work out better for her ?
 
I'm sure that they often intend on signing both the top two acts.
Also that they engineer the vote as much as possible to give the title to the act that needs the title most to pump sales.

So if Alex can sell well without being the 'x-factor winner' then its more profitable for Cowell and co to make JML the winners. Or vice versa.

Its a triple win with this years finalists as they all have very different markets they appeal to..
 
The only reason JLS can be bland is because of their metor. I don't think the guys want to be another Louis Walsh boyband tbh, I see them more as a vocal harmony group, and I hope that's what they do, with their influences being Boys II Men or Blackstreet, rather than Westlife! :D

Glad Diana got kicked out, about bloody time! ;)
 
Well, apparently JLS can't be that unpopular with Joe Public. A couple of teens have just been reported injured in a crush of 2000+ people trying to see JLS in glamorous Croydon.

I suspect Diana would have been met with steely indifference. And some bottles from me probably. Did I mention how glad that I am that she's out at any time.
;)
 
Just caught up with the x factor last night and feel i was watching a completely different show to the judges (as usual).

I thought pretty much everyone was rubbish.
Didn't even think Alexandra was that good. She didn't seem to put much effort into it and it all seemed a bit lame.
Eggham - bloody hell, i don't think i've ever actually heard him sing so bad. It was like embarrasing kareoke. Honestly don't understand how the judges can possibly say he gave a great performance :confused:

None of them deserve to win :(

By this point they have to hype everyone up to make it seem like it's wide open.

There was a crowd of 6000+ turned out to see 'Quiggy' in Derry. My dad says he has never seen anything like it since he saw the Beatles in the 60s. :eek: Apparantly all the local male yoot have got Quiggy haircuts, and the crowd was told that he had won six of the phone votes. He's related to half of Northern Ireland, including, apparantly, Daniel O'Donell. I think the little bastard might win it.:mad:
 
from what has been going on in Croydon it looks like JML might sneak it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Just been reading about the x factor final tomorow.
Apparently, the contestants are doing duets.....

JLS & Rhianna
Alexandra & Westlife
Eggman & Boyzone

Westlife & Boyzone :( Great :(

Don't Ronan Keating & Louis Walsh hate each other :confused:
 
I thought Beyonce was singing with Alex? :(

Least JLS get Rhianna, it's gonna be mega :cool:

Louis Walsh was on the radio this morning & he said the duets were

Alex & Beyonce
JML & Westlife (god knows how that'd work)
Eggman & Boyzone

No mention of Rhianna
 
I'm just wondering how the JML / Westlife combo is going to work. There's going to be loads of them. It'll be like a choir.

I hate that little shit.
 
Having judged my students' reactions I think JLS could well win. They were in Croydon earlier this week and pretty much my entire school went straight there after school to see them. (apparently it all got a bit nasty too).

ETA - oops just noticed someone else already posted about this.

But 6,000 also turned out to see Eoghan, so who knows?
 
Egg face has a whole country behind him, it wasn't going to be hard.

Ahh I see umbrella draws has pulled out, cool. Alex is on for winning again, get him
