I think Amelia and Little Mix are the only ones who could have a credible and successful career.

Ok, can we dispel this silly notion right now? Ireland can vote yes, but it's a tiny proportion of the votes (probably about 7%), and in any polls done by Irish papers/websites, she's coming 4th. So don't blame us!
 
Gary Barlow is an actual bellend.

He showed how childish and pathetic he was towards Amelia in the sing-off. He didn't need to knock the girl when she was already down. If Kelly had said to Craig, "We're looking for a popstar - sorry tubs", he would've gone mental for being childish, so why should he be allowed to do it?

As he said last night - "this is about the judges given constructive feedback" - how was that constructive? I hope he apologizes next week to her for being a twat.

Very happy with the overall result, although would've preferred Janet in the bottom two, rather than Amelia. Janet's face, and generally attitude is getting right on my balls - her face when Bryan Adams said Amelia was his fave.. priceless. Never seen a smile drop so quickly.

I'm not sure about Amelia at all, maybe in time. She's way too young now I think, she still has a bit to learn vocally etc. I don't really know what sort of music she could sing and excel in because she's sort of shouty as Gary said (at the very worst time).

I would say Misha B but Tulisa has vilified the poor girl to an extent that no matter how well she performs, people are not going to buy into it.

This is also very random but I don't know where to put it. I'm watching back on the auto-tuned performances from last year. They are so obvious, I mean they wanted to get caught right? Gamu sounds like a cyborg.

BRILLIANT

I am glad that Craig went. While I think that his performance was actually his best this week (LOVE THAT SONG) I was a wee bit afraid that the housewives of the UK were right behind him and he was going to walk it.

Now Janet is the only obstacle to a viable popsta/ band actually winning it. I am astounded that Janet is still in it. She really has been patchy at best for the last few weeks. I would love to see a Misha B, Little Mix, Marcus final but I fear she might ruin that for me.

And also, that Rhianna performance was bloody awful. She looked bloated and frankly off her face. The end is on its way, mark my words.
 
I can't believe people think Janet is going to win this. She's coming across as so unlikeable.

If Diana couldn't do it, Inferior Diana hasn't got a hope.
 
I think Janet could make a good album.

Like I said before, X factor is not the show for someone like her.

Lilly Allen would be out first week, she probably wouldn't even make the live shows.
 
Craig was essentially another Joe McElderry/Ray Quinn waiting to happen, but I preferred him over boring Janet and hard-faced Amelia.

Misha B had better win But I'll probably settle for Marcus as he's inoffensive.

Craig is a Ray Quinn, Marcus is a Joe McElderry.

I'm ready for a group to win, be something different. Little Mix have to do it.
 
Honestly, before Marcus started with the Bruno Mars nonsense and the ten thousand watt plastic smiles every time a lense turns on him, I didn't have a problem. Now he's just getting on my tits.

Strangely enough, a lot of people hate her over here. Teenage girls especially. So even if it was proportionally possible that Ireland could vote enough to keep her in, they still wouldn't be. There are a lot of people who are immensely proud of her but I know a lot of people that loathe her. Nationality isn't as strong here as one would think - especially in voting circles of teenage girls. I think it's a combination of jealousy and that she is very much one of the oddballs. If she had a British mentor I think her Irish fanbase would have been exploited much more - if they really want Irish votes she should be singing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYWWYQZ7yoc">this</a>. But Kelly wouldn't have nearly enough knowledge of the Irish psyche, or its music, to do such a thing.

I hope not, but I can definitely see her winning. Despite having the personality of an ice cube, and giving terrible performances for weeks she's still getting through. I hope to god she's gone next week.

Aside from her, I do agree it's a really strong top 5 though. Certainly better than last year.

I want Gary to explode in one of these episodes. I don't Amelia will be out next week as she'll bounce back after being in the bottom two. It might be Marcus' turn if Gary gives him rubbish songs.

This is the bottom line, really. If neither of these acts win it, I'll be severely disappointed.

Marcus could have a 'Bruno Mars' style career (not that we need another one), but any hopes of a new Justin Timberlake, or something akin to a male Rihanna are still floating further and further away from the X-Factor's grasp.

Marcus would be better off in theater, but it's possible that he could win this. But it should be Little Mix or Amelia. Maybe Janet.
