... yes its not big & its not clever, but theres a part of me that wants him to win, so that Syco are forced to spend money marketing him as a solo star, despite the fact that he hasnt a hope in hell.

Sorry if this sounds sadistic, as the poor guy probably thinks he can have a career as a recording artist, when its damned obvious he wont.

If he wins, half the population of Britain will leave....actually that's not a bad thing.

Who cares if he wins, actually who cares WHO wins ?

They are all crap this year, any winner will sink without trace.

I would love it if he won. Simon will have wanted him kept in for a long time to get publicity for the show and get people talking, however he won't want him to win. I hope him or Rylan win.

Why do you want them to have egg on their face? You didn't really explain your grievances.

As much as I dislike him, one tiny tiny part of me would have to laugh if he did.

I'll go and wash my mouth out now I've said that LOL!

That's what I was thinking. Some people are only a live because its illegal to shot them.

I really doubt Simon has wanted Chris to stay and Chris staying hasn't nearly created the amount of buzz as Rylan. If you think Chris was the contestant Simon was using for the rating buzz in the plan you described you are mistaken. Rylan is the one that fits the description more.

Even if Chris does win Simon doesn't have to do that much with him, or promote him if the past winners are anything to go by.

I LOATHE Simon Cowell, a pure money man who has no innate interest in music and who has seriously degraded popular music in this country.

Being forced to spend thousands on a totally unviable act would be a perverse punishment for lowering the musical culture of this country...

If he wins, he'll get to release a covers album with zero publicity, get quietly dropped and be airbrushed out of history.

If chris wins Cowell will just shove him in a corner and forget all about him accidently on purpose.

He will do exactly the same if Rylan wins.

He has already made it plain that the only 3 people he is interested in is Jahmene, James and Ella

Would love to see Rylan win, not because I like him, but for the same reason's the OP said about Christopher Maloney.

Simon will find some way to wriggle out of it. One novelty album for the grannies milked to the max and then he'll be dropped like a bad habit.

Enjoy watching the fallout, but save your money and don't vote, the best feeling is knowing you haven't given them a single penny.

They didn't exactly do much for Joe McElderry did they... Younger but similar sort of singer in that he made it on the X-Factor doing old songs.

They don't care who wins. They make who they want to make. And break who they want to break.

From the 2009 series it was Olly Murs who made it. And Jedward seem to have actually been the next most successful from that series.

I agree with all this, I dislike Simon Cowell so much.

SYCO never gets egg on it's face, Cowell wins whatever happens.

Even when the nation joins together to say no, and gets Rage Against the Machine to Christmas number one, what happens? Turns out Simon Cowell owns the rights to them as well.

He can't lose, so if must give him any money at all, might as well vote for someone you like, so with a bit of luck, you might have to listen to slightly less crap the next Saturday night.

Exactly.

It doesn't make any difference who wins. I expect Syco have got their eye on Union J and, at a push, Ella. If Christopher wins, they'll simply prioritise their preferred winner over him and drop him after a year.

Him winning wouldn't make an ounce of difference to Syco. It might well damage the show's reputation, though.

I can't believe that anyone still votes on this farce.

Dont agree. If his co's reputation suffers and they promote act after act that dont sell, then eventually his reputation at least will go downhill.

I dont mind about having to listen to Rylan or Maloney for 3 more weeks if at the end Syco have the unenviable task of having to devote time, energy & money on an unworkable act.

As I said, Im not proud of myself on this subject, but thats the way i feel
