If they were to win, Syco are gonna have to be confident that people will buy their records. Marcus is the bookies favorite to win, or maybe Craig, whoever, would you buy their records?

Marcus yes as for Craig not so much as I am not a balladeer type of person.

Marcus is still a big maybe in my head, at the end of the day it solely depends on what type of music he releases.

Craig- A definite NO.

It would depend on the record, I like Marcus and his performances are entertaining to watch and his voice has a nice tone, however some of the song choices have been awful so it's hard to judge. If I liked the type of music he produced I would otherwise, no.

Craig, definitely not, I don't like his voice, not for me.

...marcus no...craig...deffo...his rendition of jar of hearts was the dogs...but misha has more scope,so can't see either of them winning

Marcus - I definitely would. He needs to be marketed as a cross between Bruno Mars and Olly Murs.

Craig - never.

I very much doubt it. Though I suppose one should always keep an open mind...

It would depend whether the records were any good or not. These days, it's easy enough to hear large samples of albums prior to release and all of them free of charge shoerly after. If they sound worth the buying, I'd buy. I do not buy shit records, no matter who has made them.

I would buy Craig's definitely - especially the Adele covers he's done and Jar of Hearts - that's at least 3 I'd buy!

Marcus no cos he's not my cup of tea but I do like him.

These 2 deserve to do well as we don't get all the drama and headlines - they just do what they went into the competition for - to flaming well sing!!

Craig? Not a chance. I don't understand how he even got to the final 16, let alone end up third favourite.

Marcus? Perhaps a good single or two.

no to both although Craig has more talent

No as they would probably be singing cheesy ballads. However if Marcus had an R&B sound then possibly.

More likely than I am to buy anything by any of the others.

Neither. I think that they're both good enough to win X Factor but neither are good enough to have a sustained recording career.

I've never bought an X Factor contestant's album at all (in fact the only talent show artist I've bought an album of is Will Young) but I'll probably buy Rebecca Ferguson's (from last year) when her's is released and I'd consider buying an album from Misha from this year's crop.

Oh - and I'd DEFINITELY pay to watch a concert featuring Kitty - I think she's the best at combining a visual show with decent vocals. She'd be well value for money in a concert set-up.

Craig, if it was good, yes.

Marcus, unlikely.

I like them both reasonably well on the live shows. The only track by either of them that I have played more than once is a Marcus where he had some really gorgeous girl dancers. I played that one three or four times just because I fancied one of them.

So no I would never buy their records.

I know I am biased but in all seriousness I don't think anyone except Janet really has a big enough following to sell albums.
