It's sad as in sad and sad as in pathetic.

Thing is, I like Amelia and Little Mix too, even though Marcus is my favourite but the rabid rants of some of their fans against Marcus is making think again about throwing a vote one of their ways too as well as Marcus.

All the evidence is that the outcome is too close to call. Let's just let the acts perform and the winner will be chosen by the public.

Marcus has probably received the least "hate" out of all 16 contestants.

The act seen as the most likely to win is always a target for criticism. Yesterday it was Little Mix that were supposedly going to win with 156% of the vote. Now it's Marcus. Tomorrow will probably be Amelia.

Are you serious? Have you seen some of the Little Mix threads on here?

Why should Marcus be exempt?

I don't like his music that's all, and everyone's allowed there opinion and also what about Amelia and Lil mix, they have been more hated then Marcus

The only hate Marcus gets is on the basis of his boring, cheesey and bland performances. That's completely valid criticism considering that's what this glorified karaoke contest is all about.

EXACTLY!
The Little Mix BASHING threads are ridiculous!!

Love that :P

Eh?? How does that work exactly?

It's not hate, I've nothing against the lad at all he seems a nice guy but I think he's crap and will flop big time if he wins.

Agree. Can't say I've seen any 'hate' against him on here or in the press. Nice guy but he's really not going to sell records in any quantity. Probably be quite good in concert as a warm-up act for somebody good.

I haven't seen any hate.

I seen a lot of light hearted stuff going on, that is all.

Some people do post the odd nasty, but ot very many.

People need to lighten up.

I think Amelia gets the most hate on this forum because she is the best act, and has the best voice. And the other acts fans cant admit they have a soft spot for her, as it would seem that they are not being loyal to their favourite acts.

Well said! They are all of my feelings exactly.

I think any of the final 3 acts would make a worthy winner. Obviously I want Marcus to do the best both during the final and in terms of a music career but I wish the other two acts well too.

Shame that other people on here can't do the same and are that threatened by Marcus.

Any hate is sad, but I think it must come from the kiddies, or sadly immature adults, I think most of us just enjoy the show, we have our favourites but don't 'hate' the rest.

I prefer Marcus to the other two acts, but it doesn't matter anymore who wins, it is usually the kiss of death anyway. They will all get record deals, but the poor winner has to disappear for a year by which time we have moved on anyway.

Don't hate guy, at the end of the day i don't know him personally to have an opinion on him like that.

Only problem i have i ain't interested in him and find him boring

I haven't seen any hate, just think he has little chance of success after the show as a singer. If he does win I think he will struggle like most of the past male winners.

Marcus isn't getting a fraction of the hate Little Mix are getting on the forum right now.

Maybe people don't share your opinion on him OP.
Here's my opinion:
He's boring, bland and an okay singer but nothing special. He is just a cardboard copy of the likes of Bruno Mars, and not a very good one at that. Nice guy and everything. I don't hate him lol!
Of all of them, Amelia is probably the best, though her winning is very funny, considering she's only going to win because of a coke addict.

Can you explain the logic of voting for more then one contestant?

If you vote for your favourite, you are effectively negating that vote by also voting for their rivals. You'd be as well not voting at all.
