Put your favourite aside and being totally impartial. If you were a rich successful music producer and you were told to invest £500K into one of the four acts left.

You have to invest in them with a view of making your money back not just them having one hit and then fizzling out.

Think about

Songs that would be relevant in todays chart
Videos
Albums
Concerts
Image
Promotion etc
National/International/Global success

It may be your favourite that you still pick but think on a commercial basis.It may be someone who you detest but ultimately would give you a better investment.

Who would you invest in, in terms of trying to get the best return for your money?

I would still say Little Mix

Still little mix

Mischa has the most potential for all round entertainment. She can dance, sing, rap, she has presence. Turning around public opinion would be difficult though.

Difficult as I am not sure any of them have that much potential to make that kind of money back.

Although Little Mix are my favourite, I'd have more confidence in misha.

Where X Factor is concerned that doesn't really matter does it. It'll be a year before the winner's album comes out and by that time they're old news.

Erm, favourites aside, I'd probably pick Amelia. She has that Pixie Lott/Jessie J kinda thing about her which is currently 'in'.

I'd say then Little Mix, then Misha, then Marcus.

Little Mix and Misha.

Misha will make great songs and seeing her live in concert(where artists make most of their money now) would be a really enjoyable experience.

Can you imagine Janet in concert. A yawn-fest, her standing in one spot the whole time, every song sounding the same and her forgetting the words to her songs on occasion.
Fun!

Nationally/Internationally - Little Mix and Misha B
America - Misha B

Marcus - wouldnt touch him with a barge pole I am afraid. Dont think he would make much money at all after the first album

I think all the girls left could be big, I honestly do.

The only one I can't see doing well is Marcus, we have had similar people to him win and actually be better vocally than he is and not make much impact, he reminds me a little of Leon.

LITTLE MIX will be the biggest act to come ot of x factor this year LITTLE MIX TO WIN!!!!

Misha B or Little Mix

Little Mix are a very marketable act so I would invest in them. They are young, fresh, down-to-earth, excellent vocals, hard workers and they just gel so well together. With the right management behind them, they'll be huge, I reckon. Only reservation I would have about them is their name.

But I don't want them to win unless they can pretty much get out there asap and do their thing instead of being made to wait until next year's show like all previous other acts. Before this year's show started, I actually had to Google last year's winner because I couldn't remember his name!

Interesting that you list dancing before singing. On top of that being utterly irrelevant, it's also something she has no particular aptitude for. Her rapping is feeble to say the least, and "presence" doesn't count for much when you've no personality. She's a good singer, but the market is crowded with superior talent already.

Little Mix

i would be torn between misha and little mix. putting the competition aside, i suspect that misha possibly has the most potential in terms of worldwide success. whereas in the uk, there is a gap in the market that is vacant since girls aloud took an indefinite break.

To me, Amelia and Little Mix are the more credible pop stars in terms of image and the type of music they could do.

In terms of stage presence and performance for concerts etc. I'd say Amelia and Marcus.

I think, overall, Little Mix would probably make the most money for a producer. There's more of a gap in the market for what they've got.

Misha.

Amelia
Little Mix


Misha B (Too many others out there doing it bigger and better)



Marcus

Misha or Little Mix, definitely.

Amelia and Marcus are far too generic.

I am biased towards Amelia but... I would say Misha is pretty much the full package. I actually wish she didn't go through the X Factor. I think it's harmed her image more, personally.

Those who believe everything they read aren't the types of fans that she'd want, anyway.

Misha,best voice and spark of originality and fire in her that makes her stand out. Little Mix for the UK.They are a great girlband and all can sing.

Marcus has a great voice,but I don't see it happening on that scale.

Amelia maybe in time ,but she needs to grow out of being Pixie Aguilera first,because her voice is good and solid,but more suited to less forced vocals.

Misha
