Ben For The Boys Or Nikktitta For The Girls To Win

Answer 2

I don't think it was a fix. How can there be a fix? It's a public vote, ultimately, it is up to the voting public to vote for the act they want to win and the results are a reflection of the will of the viewing public. I think the voting public should not allow their opinion to be coloured by the coverage the artistes get in the press and the media, however. They should base their opinion and vote on the quality of the performance on the night.

In that respect, I think the final result last night was flawed. Personally, I would not have had Kerry in the bottom three. I actually liked her performance and I think she definitely did not deserve to be sent home. Her biggest problem, I think, has been that because she is physically disabled, she almost has to produce an even bigger performance than the others to get noticed because she is limited in how much she can move around on the stage. In her stead, I would have had the MacDonald Brothers in the bottom three because, quite honestly, I think they are no better than a karaoke act. I think Simon Cowell is absolutely right in his opinions of them.

I thought the two acts who should have gone home were Dionne and Ashley. Dionne has a powerful voice, but her lower register is very poor. A lot of her words were very indistinct last night when she was singing in her quieter lower register, and if your audience can't hear the words of the song, they will quickly switch off. I also think she needs to ditch the Tina Turner impression. She should just be Dionne, nobody else, no matter how much she idolises Tina Turner.

As for Ashley, well, I have to say I think he should have gone home instead of Kerry. The judges were correct in their final summing up of his performance after the results had been announced. He fluffed his lines and showed a real lack of professionalism: something which will return to bite him if he ever does that on the professional circuit. It showed he was not fully prepared to "perform" on the night. I have often heard Sharon Osbourne commenting on his uniqueness in her critique of his performances. Personally, I don't think he is a good singer at all, and I think he is really quite fortunate to have made it to the final 12. I really don't think he has showed enough pride in his performance or the requisite professional attitude throughout this series to be considered one of the main contenders to win the X Factor prize. And I think Louis Walsh, as the one with the casting vote among the judges, made the wrong decision to keep him in the show.

Who would I like to win the X Factor? I would love to see Nikita win it because she is Scottish, but I think it may come down to a toss up between Ray and Ben.

Answer 3

No, I think talent has won through in the end. Dionne's exit has been on the cards for a while. She can certainly belt out the powerful notes, but she really struggles with the softer ones.

As for the other two, I think Louis was right to keep Ashley. Okay, so he forgot his lines, happens to the best of us, but I think he is a bit more diverse than Kerry, and the last minute of his song was fantastic. Kerry's performances - though good and well sung - were getting pretty samey each week. Fair play to her though, you can't knock her achievements in getting this far, and now she has had some exposure, so she can carve out a neat career for herself.

I have to sit on the fence with regards to picking a winner. I have gone for Nikitta all along (though her performance wasn't that good last night) because when she sings, she really means it. It's very involving.

Ben is a very strong possibility because he is versatile, multi-instrumental, photogenic, and has an outstanding voice. There's nobody around at the moment who sounds like him, and he can also adapt to different styles.

I would also love it if Leona won. Her vocal range is quite amazing and her performances are getting better. Like Ben, we haven't had a singer like her for quite a while in this country. She is also endearingly sweet and very emotive.

Could you imagine her reaction if she actually won?

Answer 4

No way!
Contestants can't go far with just having a good voice, and that's all Dionne had, as for Kerry - her voice was barely average, and I won't miss either of them, but I wish the MacDonald brothers would get voted off - they must be the worst contestants ever put onto the live shows of a talent contest - I thought they were supposed to be able to sing, obviously not.

Leona to win - without a doubt what an incredible singer and she seems so nice aswell.
I also want Ashley, Nikkita and Eton Road to reach near the end of the show as they are all individual and actually bring something to the show.
=D

Answer 5

I dont think it was a fix because Dionne didn't perform too well last night and everyone knew Kerry had to go sometime! I want Leona or Ashley to win, they're the 2 best acts right now.

Answer 6

They already know who's going to win! Bring back the days when they told you how many votes people got!! Im just fed up of these shows so I don't pick or phone for a winner anymore, I think Raymond might win!

Raymond used to be in brookside Bernie nolans son always crying because he didnt want to go to school!!

Answer 7

None of us know for sure that the results they give, are actually the true results cast by viewers, after all, you hear time and time again, people voting on these reality shows (including Big Brother) only to dial the number for their favourite, but the lines are muddled up, and they end up voting for someone else!

Answer 8

No contests are fixed. We like to believe as our favourite does not win. Not sure of eventual winner. None stand out yet.

Answer 9

Yes its all a fix jus wait til final night and each judge will have 1 act

Answer 10

Don't know if it was a fix or not, but it was a shame to see Kerry go, she was a great singer. I'd like Nikita to win.
