On the Sky guide for next Saturday's X Factor it says the judges whittle the 15 down to 9, then it is up to the public - so there's where the final nine come from.
Final Nine - Spoilers
2 of 3
each judge is going to whittle down their contestants to three (3 * 3 = 9)
I am surprised by Sharon's choice, Tabby isn't a very good singer there was a better guy who she let go (the one that felt his style was similar to The doors...long hair e.t.c). And what's with adding the 16 yrs old girl, she isn't that good, we have seen it all with Roxanne from Last year's Pop idol.

Megan and Verity are very over-rated. I also dont see the fuss about Tabby. Hope for Andys sake that its not true.
They will each cut two more acts next week. Looks like Daily Star got it right - although I expect Floyd not Rowetta to get through

Well you'd have to be mad to sing for Sean...
Do what you’re doing, spend what you’re owing
Pay what you’re paying, look where you’re going
Say what you’re thinking, kill who you’re killing
Sing if you’re singing, speak if you’re speaking
Sounds good to me
Do you know him? Shame if he didnt get through though and I am upset with Sharon for not picking him.
These are the latest odds from Stan James Bookmakers. I think they would have access to more information than the Daily Star on Sunday and their top nine seems more likely.

They're whittled down to 3 in each group next week. 3 x 3 = 9.
I dont think the betting really means a lot. The male joint-favourite doesnt seem to be as popular as the bookies suggest. Andy is also far more popular than certain people above him.

Hey if you see Andy tell him he was great up there and he should go on to greater things with or without Xfactor.
If he remembers me he should no I don't say no b*llsh*t
Having seen all the acts perform in the auditions and ‘knowing’ who’s through, I’m changing my mind! Two2Go are my favourites to win, closely followed by Rowetta, Steve and G-4.
If Sharon’s picks are as stated in the Daily Star, then I’m afraid she hasn’t got a chance. Tabby is not mainstream enough to get votes (he’s also very hit or miss – none of his auditions so far have particularly impressed me, but his charisma is undeniable). Meagan is no way near as good as she thinks and could fall into the trap of being too young to connect to a Saturday teatime audience. Roberta is just bland (very pretty of course) but I can’t see the X factor. Cassie and Andy are extremely unlucky, as Cassie had the best voice in that group of five and seems to be extremely versatile. Andy – although I cried the same as everyone else when he sang The Long and Winding Road, that was the only time where he delivered a good performance. The others were mediocre or, worse, completely out of tune.
Simon’s picks – Steve and Rowetta are going to be very popular. Steve is an ‘everyman’ and will be the housewives choice. Rowetta has made such an impact and her voice is in a different league to all the others. She’s already so memorable and I expect her to have a strong fanbase. Verity, I still don’t get. Her voice is pleasant but no way near the other 2 picks. Her back-story is oft repeated of sacrificing her career for her marriage, so we’re supposed to be sympathetic and vote for her because of that. But Rowetta is 38 and has 2 children in their 20’s (work it out). I imagine that her story – teen mother looking after small children and unable to fulfil her potential - is just as compelling and she has a great deal more talent to justify a vote for her.
Of all the groups, Louis’ is the only one with real strength in depth. Each of them has a very valid chance of winning, but Two2Go are the ones with the great story (I expect there’ll be a romantic angle before the finale!) and are good enough to win. They also have mass appeal and will get the votes.

The Mirror have now revealed the final nine. All are the same as the Star apart from Cassie instead of Megan. Better choice in my opinion but still no Andy. 
Very happy with the final 9.
Great variety there.
Would hav preferred Lloyd instead of Steve, as Steve seems much more of an amateur than Lloyd the voice coach, and to be truthful Lloyd is a better singer than Verity, but who cares?
Rowetta is in the final nine, so it won't be boring!

Louis Walsh was on This Morning and he said that the papers had got it wrong. (the final 9). Having said that, he said HE didn't know all of the final 9 and he didn't sound all that convincing. He came out with the usual "you'll have to watch on saturday if you want to know the final 9"

Yes - I dont trust Louis Walsh. I do get the feeling that either the Star or Mirror are correct so they may only have one person wrong.

I hope this is true, I much preferred Cassie to Megan.
I forgot to mention one of things that Louis Walsh said on This Morning. He was harping on about not wanting Simon to win and that people should vote for him and Sharon, surely we should be voting for the particular acts NOT the judges that happened to pick them. I don't care what judge wins, but, I do care what act wins.

I think people will be suprised by Verity.
I don't think she's through because of her sob story.
Give her time and she will be knocking out the Dusty Springfield type ballads...

Absolutely. He p***ed me off royally on This Morning .
It seems it's all about him and Simon...I discount Sharon, I dont think she has a false bone in her body (well, excluding all the plastic surgery she isn't shy of revealing
) But I really think she makes this programme.I'm starting to hope that Louis doesn't win, but that would make me as petty as him.
May the best act, whatever age, whatever style, win.
And if it happens that Louis loses, that's a bonus!
