I do sometimes. It's a great way to cheer me up on somedays. I don't like to be cynical but I hope I never reach such levels of fandom.

I think his survival might have something to do with him getting lots of votes! Seriously the guy can sing in tune which is more than can be said for the rest. He hasn't sung a dodgy note in the entire competition.

Wonder if the story in yesterdays sunday mirror will efect his votes next weekend

Well if he wins I hope everyone who votes buys his album, it will take more than the cost of a call

not once have i thought he is being picked on, its true his songs are predictable, he cant dance, he always looks terrified and lacks any kind of xfactor

My only hope is that Saturday night finds a new reality tv show as I think this is the final nail in the coffin for xfactor

^^This.. It's become rather pathetic now...................

Totally agree with the OP and was going to post something similar myself.

How has he survived? I'm a school teacher and so discuss X factor with quite a lot of people. No one I know votes for him; no one likes him and that includes teenagers, myself (in my 40s) and my friends and my mum who's in her 60s. This is quite a large age range, so who on earth is voting for him? There actually seem to be quite a few supporters on this forum, although some are voting just to annoy Cowell, which seems ridiculous, but none of them really believe he has the X factor, just that he can sing well - even if it is straight out of the 80s. He actually puts me in mind of someone like Rick Astley.

I agree. XF has been sliding downhill at a rate of knots since series 5 and has just become Big Brother with karaoke attached.

Tbh, I've passed the stage of caring who wins now. Cowell already knows who will get cash spent on them and if the public get it *wrong*, he'll just bin the winner as soon as he can and concentrate on the *real winners*.

In some ways, maybe Chris should win. It's been the crappiest series ever so why not end with the crappiest winner ever? A fitting finale I would say now

He has a great voice. You are probably far to young to understand that.

My mother is 70 and thinks he's dreadful. is she too young to understand as well?

He's a great singer.

Maybe you've not come across anyone who votes for him personally but he's never been in the bottom 2 yet so people are voting for him.

Just because he's not your favourite doesn't mean he's not good or popular.

hob nob do

bet she likes radiohead and turin brakes

My mum thinks he's great as does my gran.

Neither are keen on James Arthur and Union J.

Different strokes for different folks.

My mum is a 71 year old who goes against everything that older people should be , she is backing James Arthur all the way , she said his moody , growling performances are hot!!! lol

Far too miserable for her taste. She nicks music off of me and my brother and at the moment she loves Cool Million, Incognito and Joey Negro and the Sunburst Band.

what a cool mum

have to try some of then , anothet cool mama

Christopher has 4 types of vote if you like coming his way:
The people who enjoy his performances
The strong regional vote (remember they got Ray Quinn to the final)
The sympathy vote
The vote from those who detest the x factor 'machine' and Cowell.

On that basis he stands a fair chance of winning.
Personally I can't understand why either in the last two categories would waste their hard earned money voting for someone who's record they'll never buy.

Haha that is brilliant!

Oh I can - it's very easy. It's because the pesky public keep voting for him. Should we be surprised? Of course not... everyone seems to forget he is the Wild Card, voted in by the public in the first place. Not the judges.

Those who voted for him to be the Wild Card are very likely to continue to support him. Christopher's fanbase is probably more solid than that of any other contestant.

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if he won. Awful thing this democracy lark, eh? Lol!

Where's the hate?

No idea. But it seems it has to be mentioned/implied even when it doesn't apply....I'm still waiting for the 'bullying' word to appear

And 'jealous' the DS buzzword

Oh, I beg your pardon. Yes, I omitted jealous!

It gets ridiculous at times around here doesn't it. Can't have an opinion without those words springing up 'sigh' lol.

Hmmm the last 3 being the most likely i think..sadly for him if he thinks they are really amazed at his talent
