Another Joe, Matt and Steve Brookstein on our hands if he wins.

Yeah Marcus is okay but not much more. He's one of the best of the bunch though certainly. Not looking to belittle him. Nothing wrong with being okay.

Not at all, he has talent and a personality.

He's the default middle-of-the-road winner.

He's gets a huge "whatever" from me.

Don't agree, I think he's very versatile.

The other Marcus is the better singer of the two Marcuses.

You don't get any sense of the type of artist he'd be. Well suited to the show but not the music industry maybe.

Yes, he definitely reminds me of Joe and will most likely go the same way if he wins... :sleep:

He is one of my favourites in the competition but I can't see him doing any good outside the show - he'll win it, though, for that reason.

That was a good performance from Marcus. Very surprised. Very charismatic as well.

You must be watching a different show to me...Marcus is like Joe McElderry...consistently average but not good enough to sell records...

He'd have been a great Motown singer back in the day. Great soul voice. I like him but I don't think he can win.

Yes, I must be. I'm watching the X Factor, what are you watching?

I can picture him performing at Butlins.....!

That is the whole thing. He has an alright voice and puts on a show but as a whole package can you see him selling records.... no!

I think he stands out a mile as the best act in this competition by far. Great voice, good performance skills, and a likable personality.

He's much more Popy than Joe and Matt.

Totally differnt.

I love Joe but he was alwasy a balladier while Marcus is not quite as pure a singer but is a much better performer. He is a star.

I really like Marcus, have done from his first audition but I honestly don't seem him as a winner unfortunately.

I like his voice a lot and tonight's performance was good, but I'm not sure he can win. Might be a blessing for him though. Plus it's a girl's turn to win this year.

depends how they style him and what songs he has written for him.

love to hear him do a ballad.

A candle on a dark night . . . .
