At the start of the live shows I was really impressed by him but as the weeks have gone on I've found his performances too safe and a bit forgettable. He'll clearly get far in the competition as he has all the Scottish community voting for him but I can't see him winning anymore.

Oh FFS - no they aren't. :mad: I do not know a single Scot voting for him. Other Scots on here cannot stand him. So please stop spouting this garbage.
It may be a shock but some ENGLISH people like him
I feel he is making it through at the moment based on the fan base he built up early in the show, but he is becoming more forgettable and as contestants leave and others fan bases grow he could be in trouble.
I agree I hate the assumption that because there is a Scottish act everyone in Scotland votes for them. I'm Scottish, and I like Nicholas but he isn't my favourite and I wouldn't vote for him and I don't know anyone who is voting for him.
I never vote for an act because of where they come from, and I expect a lot of Nicholas's votes are coming from outwith Scotland.
Didn't he say in week one, he thought Nicholas would be the oy who would go the furthest in the competition, or somethin like that? If this is the case, why is he getting the worst song choices out of the boys? It is odd.
He is talented just needs to come out of his shell now
and Scottish votes I think im over the fact that no scotland dosent just vote for Nicholas
Complacency, maybe?
Or possibly he's just bad at seeing what's good about someone, and bad at listening to his contestants. He seems to only think in terms of such and such is like a little so and so, so he tries to fit Nicholas into the cute baby Buble template, thinking 'ah, I know, this'll get the mums voting.
It's really annoying as Nicholas showed at the Arena and bootcamp auditions that not only does he have a beautiful voice, but he can really communicate feeling and emotion with grit and conviction when he's singing songs he wants to sing. He's not getting the opportunity to shine as he should at all. I'm actually starting to wonder if he's being nobbled.
He said on Xtra Factor he didn't like the song so he can voice his opinion just wish he stood his ground and did something he enjoyed think it's time someone sacked their mentor
He's letting him sail along on the back "He's cute boy and only 16." He can sing ok but Louis is being careful to give him songs well within his capabilities, and therefore it's all much the same! If he has to go toe to toe with either Sam B or Tamera he may be shown up a bit.
They do seem to be doing everything they can to pimp Sam B it must be said.
It's pretty dumb to think that he is only there because the scots are voting for him only?
I have him on Facebook and the majority of comments on his statuses are "go on son, the whole of Motherwell are rooting for you!!" with tons of people liking the comments. I've been about the North Lanarkshire area and saw posters for him outside shops and in club windows saying "____ are proud to be supporting Nicholas McDonald from X-Factor!". My entire news feed at the weekend is full of people in Scotland boasting about how much they've voted for him.
I have no opinion on him either way. He seems like a decent guy and is a decent singer but does he deserve to win? Hell no.
