Labrinth doesn't seem to have any problems with them. he single handedly wrote the whole of his album and produced it himself. He released his 2nd single a year after the first one, not sure many labels will allow that, and according to him, they work pretty damn hard for him.

He would either need to be in the bottom two with Jahmene or the lowest public vote as a result of deadlock to go home.

I don't think Jahmene is forgotten at times - he hasn't been in the bottom 2 either so people are obviously voting for him.

I'm certain James will be next out.

Probably the best thing that could happen to his career but it'll be a shame not to see him doing a duet in the final.

People are voting but for how long?
They've been reminded James isn't necessarily safe so are voting actively for him now I'd imagine and lets face it Chris is going nowhere.
I think it will come down to him and Union J this weekend as to who goes home.

I agree BIB he wants to be a credible artist, having the label of 'x factor winner' won't do that for him, neither will syco's artistic direction.

Hard to say what would happen in that situation.

Union J have been in the bottom two more often and the judges obviously prefer James but Union J are more marketable for a setup like Cowell's.

I wonder what the word from the top would be.

It would be interesting to know. Deadlock? Although they'd already know the outcome of that so I'd assume that would be the choice they'd prefer if it went that way.

union j wont get a rebound vote, they have been in the bottom 2, 3 times now... hes only been there once and a favorite making the bottom 2 late mostly always makes final 2, e.g jls,olly murs and adam lambert on american idol
