Fleur's won this no question?

After watching last night's show, it stood out more than ever. I know she's been primped and pimped from the word go, but last night she took the reins for herself and totally ran with it!
Looking at the last night's show, the other performers were simply mediocre and lacklustre, especially Ben who has been my absolute favourite throughout.
Fleur = Star, the rest are just the rest. I think Ben and Lauren will be bottom two tonight and more than likely it'll be Lauren that will go, however at the end of the day who ever's in the final with Fleur will only be there to make up numbers!

I disagree with this. She got barely any exposure in the early stages, and was still flying under the radar for the first few weeks.
I agree with the rest though, she definitely stood out last night and made the rest look like, well, amateurs. I still think that Ben will go on to win it, but they're the only two who stand a chance. As far as I know, their odds of winning are really close too. Ben's my second favourite after Fleur so I won't be disappointed with either outcome.
She will be signed to him already, he has her loyalty to promote the XF brand and the rest were just props all along.
The fact is that many people happen to like Fleur, and realise what a good artist she is. Nothing to do with any iffy circumstances i am afraid.
From the Judges Houses edit onwards she been stood out and pimped - eg the overs being thought a strong category, everyone being crap until she comes out completely different and drew mass praise from Sinitta and Simon.
From Bang Bang to every edit the show has to the song choices and positioning onwards she has been pimped to the max. It's basically the same tactic as Little Mix had 3 years ago
If you are genuinely good you don't need scowel!
It would actually not surprise me to see them both in the bottom 2.
Agree. Had not realized that she is already a seasoned recording artist and it was her on the Drumline and Base song One In A Million. This show seems to be just a promotional tool for record companies.
I agree. I think it's a 2 horse race but it's far too close to call between them.
Ben is a loveable good looking housewives favourite - people will think he deserves it more as Fleur will have a career regardless.
Esapecially when a traditional type male winner will be in the final
But I do have to say though if Ben makes it to the final I can see them sabotaging him with a bad duet and getting someone brilliant for Fleur
Ben also received mass praise from Sinitta and Simon, and other acts in other categories also received strong praise from their mentors.
As for the first few weeks, her reaction from the judges was hardly outstanding, getting accused of cheating in Week 2 and having both her singing and dancing criticised by Mel in Week 4. Her running slot wasn't particularly good either, performing 6th out of 14 in Week 2 and 3rd out of 11 in Week 4. A lot of people were actually criticising her song choices during Week 1, since apparently the message of the song didn't apply to her, and Week 2, since it was relatively unknown. Hardly pimping.
How would that apply to young acts who haven't been around long enough?
I think that makes your reply the silly one!
VERY POSSIBLE:)
You hit the nail right on the head with that post. Some people may like her as someone said earlier but alot of people are "convinced" to like a particular act by selective overhyping of some performances coupled with subtle negative comments to others, anyone who has studied psychology knows that this is a proven technique and people are led by it. If Fleur was negatively critiqued every week a large proportion of her supporters would dislike her. It is the leader follower technique and unfortunately there are more followers in this world than leaders.
She is what she is in my opinion, a solid backing singer / dancer, she is nothing new or unique and just does not have the X Factor
