Once we get to the final few, in my opinion there is no doubt that the popularity angle is what wins the votes for the artists, but in the earlier rounds, and maybe even now, I would like to ask a few questions and ask for peoples thoughts.

1. Do you think people vote for the act who they thought was the best, or just their favourite?

2. If their favourite is eliminated, do they transfer to another favourite, or do they vote for the act that they think was the best?

In my view, I really don't think that the performances matter that much as people know who they want to vote for.

Then again, I could be completely wrong, and if you go into every show with a completely open mind, and do vote for what you thought was the best performance, then it would be interesting to hear.

Well I can only speak for myself.

In the early stages, I vote for my favourite contestant/s plus another vote to the person I thought did best on the night - assuming that wasnt one of my favourites.

Now we are this far along, I'm only voting for my two favourites (matt and rebecca).


Edit : as for vote transfer - yes. I transferred from Aiden to Matt, although Matt had already had a few votes from me.

Without being offensive people vote like idiots, instead of voting for who they want to stay they try tactical voting without letting anyone else in on the plan. It's like if they're in the trenches during the first world war and they just shout charge then run out, the others are just stood there saying WTF

I tend to vote for my favourites regardless of how their performance went. My favourites are usually based on who would I actually buy a record from if they won (which is why as cute as One Direction are, I don't vote because it's unlikely I'm going to buy one of their records). You can quite often have your favourite have a slightly off week or sing a song you don't like but I still vote because I like them/their voice/overall style of performing. Maybe not the fairest way I guess but that's how I do it.

BTW Aiden was my favourite this year with Matt second. Didn't transfer any votes after Aiden left, just added more for Matt
