Who the heck is going to win?

in The X Factor #1
I am really struggling to pick a winner this year. Usually you have an idea but this year I haven't got a clue.

Not one act for me has stood out consistently and for Simon Cowell that must be a worry.

The question i ask is who do you think will win and who do you want to win?

    I think Andrea will win without a doubt, but I want Ben to win (although I'm not 100% sure about this as he may do better coming 2nd/3rd)

    Not having an obvious winner makes a more interesting show I think. :)

    I agree Andrea seems the most likely, but Rhydian did in series 4 so it doesn't always work out that way.

    This probably. But might see a surprise win for Ben in final with Andrea. I would like to see Ben win. It has to between these two anyway.

    I actually no longer care and not because Paul has now gone. The reason is the manipulation. It is getting too much for ordinary viewers which is why the viewing figures are going down!

    Its Andrea to lose but still hoping there will be a surprise and Bens wins. Even though I would to love to see Ben win and will be voting for him every week I just want him in the final

    Andrea, Ben and Fleur would make a very good Final :)

    Though Simon would be 'The first of my two acts'...'The second of my two acts'... ;-)

    Right now? Andrea's pretty uncontested.

    If Ben, Lauren or Fleur come out in the next few weeks and sing something that makes everyone look at them and see a winner (Like Little Mix Don't Let Go, Alex singing Listen) then that could change. Until that happens though I can't picture anyone beating Andrea though.

    I've predicted a Lauren win ever since the live shows started.

    Admittedly, it's Andrea's to lose right now. I just see him coming 2nd in the final.

    If I had to manage the career of one of the finalists, without any hesitation I'd choose Fleur. I think she'd be very easy to market. Young, attractive, mixed-race, bags of natural style and a damn good voice. I can see her appealing to varied audiences and I think she has the most potential longevity. For me, no one else in the show offers so much potential.

    Next, I think OTY would be quite easy to market. I'd well and truly aim for the mid-teens and below age group. If you could somehow get someone interested in making a light-hearted -Monkees-style Saturday morning series ('Only the Young Ones?') they could potentially be massive.

    I agree that Andrea has a chance at winning - but I cant see him being anything more than a five-minute wonder. I like the bloke and he has a great voice, but I think people will get tired of him quite quickly.

    He is of a similar style to Sam smith... Given his popularity at the moment and success I think Andrea may be really successful

    Andrea will win .. But Simon is the one who said he wants a show which you can't see anyone winning from the start which is predictable ..

    I think Lauren or Fleur will win.
    Andrea's nationality will evenually count against him regarding voting

    Stereo Kicks were the most improved. If they continue and start to connect, they have a good outside chance.

    Lauren will get all round support from across the age bands and should make the final.

    Ben has the best voice and could go far.

    Ben is in the driving sit at the minute, if he fails then Jay might still win as I could imagine a crossover affect in their fanbases to some degree.

    I would like Lauren to win though.

    It's Andreas to lose I think,I was speaking to a betting company that follow me on Twitter about X factor,they said he odds just keep on shortening and it's going to take a realllllllly bad couple of weeks to knock him of the top spot,he is unbeatable
    1st Andrea
    2nd Ben
    3rd Fleur or Lauren

    Andrea or Ben I think. As for who Simon thinks is most marketable, it's clear he's keen on Fleur and possibly Stereo Kicks.

    I think Andrea will win and I want him to (or Ben). I have an extremely good track record at picking winners. I was backing Leona, Leon, Shayne, Joe, Matt, James and Sam and was right about them all. I didn't watch Steve's year and I didn't like Little Mix but other than those two I've consistently backed the winner and this year that's Andrea or Ben.

    Ben win - another Brookstein in the making
    SK - I will cut off my ears and leave the country
    Andrea - Mothers Day album then obscurity
    Lauren - a winner for all those that can't hear how bad her voice is
    OTY - marketable if autotune is used
    Stevi - unthinkable
    Fleur - a decent chance of a pop career
