I must have dreamt I voted for Sam tonight and actually voted for Nicholas because he's one of my own! :rolls eyes:
Nicholas has a huge teenage girl followers in all places so stop with this Scottish vote i thought luke was awful tonight wat do the x factor vocal coaches get paid for he wrecked one of favourite songs and i guess the public hear too i showed my cousin who doesn't watch the x factor the luke performance he said that was bad he had a lot of tuning problems all over the place
Polls across the internet have had Nicolas extremely low in the voting.
Even the most accurate `yougov` poll done this week, which is rarely ever wrong, had Nicolas with a pitiful 11% of the vote.
The reason he is in the final is because he is Scottish! Are people saying that if he was from Southend he would still be in the final? He wouldn't !
The whole scotland / Wales getting mediocre acts in to the finals has became tiresome years ago, yet it amazes me people still deny such a regional vote exists.
I have a Scottish friend who is insisting Nicolas will win because of his nationality .
Interesting. There must be something 'cos he sure can't sing and has zero personality. Should have gone out weeks ago.
I agree with O.P, you Scots are ultra competitive, any way you can out do us English is seen as a big success.
There is no doubt whatsoever that if Nicholas wasn't Scottish he would not be in the final 2, actually he would have struggled to make top 4 if he was English.
Does he have any fans that aren't Scottish then? I don't know why Louis insists only people who where they're from should be encouraged to vote. Stupid.
If Sam wins tomorrow night, Nicholas McDonald will disappear without trace. If he wins he'll have an album and then disappear without trace.
Non-personality.
Louis insisted folks from Devon voted Luke, from Scotland voted Nicky. I think the term 'stupid' should be re-examined here

The only Welsh act to make it as far as an XF final was Rhydian.
There are two people in the final, one Scottish one English.
There are at least 10 times the number of voters in England as there are in Scotland.
So unless you think every Scottish voter is going to vote ten times more than English voters, your arithmatic is a little off OP. D minus for effort.
For the record I'm Scottish and have voted for Sam every week. :cool:
i don't vote but imo Nicholas could win.. he has never been in the bottom two, he has sung all the songs the producers have given him with hardly a glitch.. everyone will think Sam has has it won and wont vote for her.. Nicholas on the other hand is an underdog.. and underrated.. witness the reaction to his duet with Shane.. more performances like that tonight could see a lot of neutrals giving him a vote..
If I hadn't been watching and tuned in for the final, I'd have voted for the comedy act too, not surprising Nicholas got unexpected votes.
If you want to blame regional voting, blame the midlands for their sheeplike multivoting of sambailey.
The final placings match the regional demographics:
Midlands - sambailey
double the population of
Scotland - comedy nick
about eight times the population of
Devon - Luke
So why are you only criticising scotland? Looks like it should be the midlands that should get their phone lines cut off next series, partisan, regional block voting scum that they are.

At least it would explain why he is in the final but he has no chance whether he wins or not of having any kind of career in the charts :cool: Wasn't Leon Scottish Where is he now.

I don't understand Therefore it's fine for Nicholas to win and not be in the charts too.
The reality is X Factor is out of touch as far as chart / current acts are concerned but they don't want to be so again and again acts get dropped very quickly. Nicholas is a prime example of this. If he wins or comes second there is nothing out there for him as far as the charts or current music is concerned. He will end up like Leon.

It's a singing competition. People tend to vote for the best singers. Sam and Nicholas have been the best singers throughout so it stands to reason they'd make the final.
If it was The Marketability Factor then maybe people would vote differently, but it's not.
He may have a west of Scotland vote population around1 million. But there is no reason to think for example people in Aberdeen will vote for Nicholas rest of Scotland around 4 million, it's still the same as people in Manchester automatically voting for someone from London
The duets may have influenced the votes too. Nicholas and Sams duets were far better than Luke's.
Nicholas's one with Shane was my favourite.
And that's the reason he is in the final. Nice boy sings cover song with ex boy band member. Safe, predictable and guaranteed to get the MOR vote, even if it makes me want to slash my wrists.

RUBBISH!!!
There are only about 5 million people in Scotland and about 60 million in England so going by that, Sam should have 12 times more votes than Nicholas, tonight!!! If Scots vote for him, it's because they think he's good, not because he's Scottish!
After how 'bitter' Gary Barlow's been about him the last two shows, I hope the Scots vote in their droves for Nicholas and I hope he gets Luke's votes too!!
I thought his duet with Shane was the best of the night by far. Shane didn't try and outsing Nick like Nicole did with Sam!
