Look at who they've allowed to win the show...Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson, Joe McEdlerry, Matt Cardle.
Misha has more of the "X-Factor", than at least 4 previous winners put together. It's not about whom the X-Factor voting public like. It's about who is capable of sustaining a real career, in the real industry. And that's Misha B. Anyone who know how the music industry actually works knows that. The public usually get it wrong, and it's no different this time.”
Theres nothing wrong with Matt Cardle..ok he hasn't brought out a album as quickly as Cher/One Direction, but the stuff he has done, is great stuff for the market hes directed at...I was a Matt Cardle voter last year and I stand by that vote!
(I do agree about Steve, Leon, and Joe though)
The British public don't like Misha because she hasn't had a journey, she hasn't had a extremely emotional performance, shes not a nervous wreck.
Little Mix have had a journey, Marcus has had a journey, but the problem with Misha is shes at the standard where shes already come in with a known market, known style, known influences, and she doesn't really need to have a journey because she came in on the top of her game (if that makes sense)
I think the public not taking to her is a combo of things
In my opinion, although shes always strong, shes never the best about the night, the most talked about
The headlines, alot of floaters/emotionally driven voters (trust me, there are lots, there is a reason why tesco mary got as far as she did) would be put off by that
Apart from last week with her mum, shes never had any emotionally driven VTs, she doesn't have a sob story
This doesn't mean Mishas bad or doesn't have the XF, it just means shes not suited to win this show, and its good in a way because she would be better going in the same direction as Cher Lloyd, going out on a high and doing her own thing...contradicting my point above, Cher came out 4th, and shes done pretty well for herself!
