Its totally set up. Feel free to add your evidence/theories on why the producers of this years show are 100% gearing Rebecca to win the show this year:
* Whoever wins will be an advert for the show in the US. Matt's style has been seen time and time again on American Idol. Rebecca's style might not be everyones cup of tea but it will represent the X Factor as a show that finds someone "different" and "current".
* Her "lack of confidence" has been a running theme from the start, and despite what they've said, they do want someone with a 'story' - when selling the show to viewers in America, it sounds more interesting than Matt, who is incredibly talented but hasnt had as much of a 'journey'.
* To justify Cheryl being hired on the US X Factor - she will have won 3 years in a row.
* Controversial characters never win. Running theme in previous winners Joe, Alex, Leon, Leona, Steve (before he got dropped) and Shayne - inoffensive, grateful and quiet throughout the process. Matt's comments on Wagner and Katie, reports of Cher's tantrum with Cheryl and general ungrateful attitude are notoriously signs of a contestants eventual downfall. Rebecca has managed to stay out of the papers, and get unique comments from judges on her 'genuine' 'what you see is what you get' personality.
* Rebecca sang "A Change is gonna come" in her audition - Everyone always looks back to the winners audition after they have won, and again : Re American Factor, I this song in particular is really significant for the US (being almost a theme song to Obama's inauguaration). I feel its like an omen that she sang this... or rather, good marketing, as its an advert for the show when the Americans will be Youtube-ing .
* Even if the show is not fixed... Liverpool will not let history repeat. Ray came runner-up to Leona 4 years ago. I predict the support will be phenomenal from surrounding areas this time to ensure they win this time!
* I have taken One Direction out of the equation. I believe the reason they will not win is as mentioned above, this years winner is very important as they will be an 'advert' for the show in the US next year. For whatever reason, argue as you like, boybands are NOT popular anymore in the US; Many boybands including Westlife have notoriously tried and failed to crack the US. They are just not 'in'. They are seen as dated. 1D will have massive success in the UK, but I believe they are not the ideal faces of the show for Simon, this year.

Just don't believe Rachel will win this year.
Cher has been bottom two twice, very controversial, Syco wouldn't know what to do with a "rapper". No chance.
Matt is Dannii's act, no way will Dannii win. Plus the last four male winners have flopped (even Shayne with his new stuff), what makes Matt different? No chance.
One Direction probably stand a chance due to a group never having won the show before and the fact they're Simon's act (he hasn't won since Leona) but if the winner is really an advert for the US they don't stand a chance either.
Leaving Rebecca. Safe, original, talented, down to earth, generally well liked, female (Leona and Alex have been the only success stories) and also the beloved Cheryl's act.
No, she won't. There's never been a Rachel in the final
LOL true. Who's Rachel?
I think you are completely wrong on this, and the main reason Simon wants them to win is because the teen market is the biggest thing in the U.S at the moment, what with Justin Bieber. All he needs to show them is a video of the 1D fans screaming, fainting and all hysterical and he would be able to prove that X factor can produce winners who can match the Justin Bieber hysteria.
Rebecca is very good, but nothing new to America, they have millions of better singers. Apart from that, they are aware that Leona is a product of the X factor, so they are already aware of the fact that the show can produce great singers.
Also with Joe not setting the charts alight at the moment, Simon desperately needs to show them that the show can produce winners that will sell once the show is over, he's got that with the 1D boys, they are a marketing dream.
Finally I think it will be either Matt or Rebecca that will battle it out with 1D, it will not be between Matt and Rebecca .
Good points but I think that Rebecca or Matt will win, and it will be nothing to do with what Simon Cowell wants (1D to win).
I think Rebecca or Matt will win based on their own efforts & ability as I dont see that either of them has been given any so called 'chosen one' treatment in the show. Their mentoring has been average at best and IMO these two have deserved all the positive comments from the judges.
However Simon will still invest far more money and effort into Cher and 1 Direction - showing his usual contempt for the public!
Just to illustrate my point:
In 2007, Leon gets Kylie Minogue, a massive name star. Rhydian gets Katherine Jenkins a niche artist, Same Difference get Jason Donovan - a 90's has-bean if we're being honest.
In 2008, Alexandra gets Beyoncé, a world renowned star. JLS get Take That, a big name, but not in the same league as Beyoncé. Eoghan gets Westlife.
In 2009, Joe gets George Michael, Olly gets Robbie, Stacey gets Michael Buble. George Michael is a huge name draw, Michael Buble is in my opinion only half as popular because XF trod him out every year, Robbie is a big-ish name, but there's no buzz because he's already appeared on XF that year with sizable hype.
Who can Rebecca really get who can help her?
REbecca is lovely however I don't think she will win though; she has a nice voice and sings the songs she has sung on Xfactor reasonably well. mHowever I don't see Rebecca in the same league as being in the same league as Leona and Alex;)
Why do some people seem to confuse the names Rebecca and Rachel? I find it very odd (Even moreso since they're my sisters' names )
Now that they've kicked Mary out, whoever wins is a cash cow.
No offence to Rebecca, She's a nice girl but i wouldn't describe her as "different" and "current".
I actually know what you mean in regards to her being current. The soul diva thing came and went 3 years ago. As sickening as it is to say, Cher is probably the best suited to modern trends.
Rebecca in my opinion is quite similar to Diana in her specific way of singing (except she's definitely less annoying than Diana Vickers and a lot more likeable)... but her voice doesn't appeal to everyone. Me and my family watch it every week, and some weeks we like her songs, some weeks we just get bored of the repetitiveness. I personally love her voice, but would probably get tired of it after listening to 3-4 songs in a row by her (hence I can't imagine myself ever buying a "Rebecca" album, though I might buy individual songs by her). But like you said, she's very sweet and likeable (though doesnt have the fun personality that Alexandra had) - which I think results in fewer 'girls' voting for her as 'young girls' usually like to vote for people they can 'connect' with... and when you don't know much about a contestant, it's hard to connect with them.
Matt's voice is a lot more appealing to a broader audience. He's the most talented finalist (in my opinion) and could do really well (think he's more interesting than say... Joe or Leon!)
One Direction will come second, I think. Though I'd like them to win
Cher's just got no chance of winning - BUT that's not to say she has no chance of having a music career. I think she'll actually be the first person to get a record contract (apart from the winner of course) after the show.
I think Rebecca's voice is natural, whereas Diana's voice was affected. Rebecca is a MUCH better singer than Diana, but her voice still irritates me sometimes.
Sorry to disappoint you, but no - I would love to see Rebecca win. Actually this year I love all three of Matt, Rebecca and 1D.
And I also have money on Rebecca to win.
Interesting theory but the only reason Cheryl keeps 'winning' is because they always give her the best category! I'd like to see her try and win if she was given the over 28 category, or even the groups to some extent. She gets an easy ride every year which makes her look better than she is!
They have bridged the teenage girl and middle aged women wanting some to mother markets.
The two biggest for X Factor votes.
Rebecca is very boring and in my opinion doesnt deserve to win. she has done the same thing every week.
JLS actually got Westlife and Eoghan got Boyzone. :eek:
They might as well not have even shown up, Alexandra had it in the bag the minute Beyonce was announced.
Sure, even after an uptempo dance track, soul/rock, jazz number, ballads, acapella -- still, same thing every week :rolleyes::rolleyes:
