Can't stand Scotty, one-trick pony & the least vocally talented.

I think it's between Jacob, James, Pia & Lauren.

Scotty by a mile for me, followed distantly by James.

I don't like any of the others much and James, Jacob and Pia are my least liked.



Lee is inoffensive and unassuming whether as I find a contestant like James positively insulting.

How come James is your second favourite to win, albeit a distant second, yet also one of your 3 least liked?

Still supporting Haley and Naima, but my like for Casey is wearing very thin. Two poor (one of which was terrible) performances in a row, and the melodramatic reaction of being saved is making me go right off him.

Also liking Pia, James and Paul too.

Oooops! Sorry, I meant Paul who for some obscure reason I like though I really don't like his voice.


I thought his reaction was very touching and endearing.

Paul's bloody confusing. He'll sing something, and I'll really like it (e.g. Blackbird, Maggie Mae) and then he'll sing something else and I'll hate it (just about everything else he's sung).

I really liked Maggie May but that was the only one of his performances on the live shows that I've liked which is why I can't explain why I like him (apart from his smile ). I preferred his audition and other performances before the live shows.

I think likeability is doing Paul a lot of favours tbh. Because I don't like his voice, I'm not supporting him, but I don't think anything bad of him as a contestant. It's not his fault he's been put through this far and not everyone likes his voice, after all. He's trying his best

I feel Jacob doesn't have enough support in here so here's some love for him. I loved his last performance, for me the best of the show that night by far, great presence, totally entertaining, and loved his voice. He's got that soft caressing vibrato that i absolutely adore, all in all i thought it was a fantastic renditon, even though he was at home singing motown.

Big up for lovely Jacob.

I thought they were all good this week - I was not surprised that the judges used the 'save' as none of them deserved to go home.

My favorites are Jacob, James, Pia and Lauren. Least faves are Stefano, Naima, Thia and Paul. It's not that they are bad, just a bit middle-of-the-road for me. Scotti, Haley and Casey are ok sometimes and not so good other times.

At the moment, I am hoping Jacob wins.

I am belatedly catching up on Idol today, my favourite by a long mile is James.

But there are some very talented contestants - a million times better than what we get over here on X-factor!
[with one exception imho]

I really want Stefano to win. I had a feeling he might be in the bottom 3 this week. He doesn't seem as hyped up as some of the others. His voice is brilliant imo, I love it when he proper goes for it. I can't remember him ever being out of tune in the live shows.

On the whole AI has had bettter contestants, produced a higher number of artists that have gone onto major success, domestically and internationally, and produced a few artists that can compete with the best of them but it is the joke acts that let XF down while people forget that AI has also had its share of dregs in the top 10.

I think we've had several contestants on X Factor better than all but a couple of this year's AI lot and unfathomably better than all but one, possibly two, from last year.

Agreed, it was totally over the top and was more drawn out than the winners reaction in the final!

James or Lauren for me.

I like Pia also but want to see if she can do anything other than ballads before I want her to win.

What if he does win?

First case of spontaneous human combustion on live tv maybe

Up until last night, I thought Pia

Now I can't decide between James and Scotty.

Casey or Scotty I don't mind who wins out of those two

Naima was my favourite, I was gutted when she left. Haley, Jacob and James would probably be my next favourites.

I'll be happy with a Scotty, Lauren, Haley and Paul Top 4, and I wouldn't mind any of them winning.

I like Scotty best. He has such a strong and mature voice for his age and is very likeable. He is not just a one-trick-pony as you can see if you watched last night.

I can't see why Paul ever got into the top twelve, he has such a weak little voice, he was a bit better last night, but I haven't seen anything else that I have liked from him.

Still Scotty. Casey and Paul second and third at a push.

Haley- 1st
Paul- 2nd
Scotty- 3rd
