I'd be more worried about the total number of votes cast for anyone at all - this is the biggest show on TV with viewer numbers pushing 10 million and so far on DS not even 100 people have voted for any contestant! That's not exactly a sign of huge enthusiasm.

Anyway, don't worry, I think Joe's votes will soar after he has sung live, not so sure about Lloyd. It's very hard to pick a winner until you see and hear the contestants in the live finals, they've been so edited and what we've seen is so carefull controlled that we don't really know what some of them are capable of or who will take a hit through nerves or over-exposure.

Yep it made me want to cry as well

I like Lucie and hopefully she will do very well.

Jamie Archer's my fave. I really like Ollie aswell and Danyl. Lucie's quite sweet but other than that, I think the acts are quite weak this year.

The groups and the boys are the worst categories. Me thinks Chezza won't be winning this year.

Stacey is my favourite, so voted for her. I really like Lucie and Rachel, they both come a close second. So, all the girls!

Plus Olly and Miss FRANK.

It's Jamie Archer for me. Just hoping he gets a good song to really showcase his talent.

Think it will be a win for Danni or Simons category this year.

Just voted for Jamie

The twins haven't got the least votes

Actually im gonna go with Lloyd
I went with talent last year with Austin (the best male singer on the show imo) and that failed

Good to see john and edward have the same amount of votes as the overated Danyl

J+E are more popular than Rikki, Kandy Rain, Lloyd, Joe and have the same amount of votes as Danyl.

Snap!

Lucie

Stacey Solomon. for me

I think she would make an entertaining presenter if she does well in X-Factor

and Louis.... The Twins????? Maybe thinking Christmas novelty No. 1??

Maybe they should learn the words to "crazy frog"

Lucie for me Though Miss Frank are a fairly close second.

When will this thread close? Saturday at say, midday?

Another one needs to go up on Sunday night when the first act is booted off.

Looking forward to see how this first week's live shows will affect the voting. I reckon there will be a lot of movement!!

Olly.

Stacey Solomon for me

Beautiful voice, utterly hilarious and very warm, genuine personality from what I've seen so far. I think she's got the full package and has the potential to win this competition with Dannii as mentor. Feel she really connects with the viewer in a way that few of the other finalists have so far.

Good luck Stacey!

I like Jamie, but not sure that x factor favours the rock type artist.

same goes for Stacey whom I also think is great, there is nothing wrong in ballady songs, it works for plenty of other artists, i don't see Michael Buble, Jamie Cullum doing badly out of it so why not a woman?

X factor seems to prefer a jack of all trades and master of none type person, just to get through the live's, then finds that they can't do much with them cos they are not strong enough in any genre to make it.

Going to wait to see how the final 12 handle the live shows!!

ATM I will have to say Jamie A!!!

Oh The Twins make me want to throw the TV out of the window!~!!!!

Its Jamie for me. Also like Stacey and Lucie.

Danyl is far too OTT

Cheryl's Acts do not make up 8% added together.

Methinks she picked the wrong 3

gotta be stacey for me. she has a lovely voice and seems like a friendly, down-to-earth girl.

Between Lloyd and Joe but went for lloyd. Would've been Ethan tho

Lucie and Stacey.

And Rachel too, though not so much atm.

I like Jamie, Rachel, Lucie, and Miss Frank. I voted Rachel for now but my favourite could easily switch among these 4 acts.
