The deal is that 'sob stories' do influence voting. Jahmene's story will have boosted his voting figures.

Wow, some of the posters on here are vicious.

If it's true that Chris is topping the vote every week as is heavily rumoured, even at this late stage, there is a good chance my theory is correct.

But he hasn't done it to try and get votes .
Also he was favourite to win way before the story came out .
In fact after singing at last he was the hottest favourite in x factor history

I think Chris will win, Floh. If the Daily Star rumours are correct, I can't see him losing momentum at the final hurdle.

If they were he wouldn't be 4/1 would he. Use your loaf

Chris hasn't topped the votes every week .
He has been near the top every week though

I don't care about his motivation. That's between him and his purity ring.

I'm just sick and tired of his sob stories. That's all, sick and tired of it.

Ah so. Excuse me, I don't read every (or many) posts and didn't know you know him. Why is he telling the stories, do you know?

Good luck to your man — come what may.

People sing and are inspired by lyrics due to events in their life or people in their life..

You have to differentiate

What argument is dated? I didn't realise I was arguing anything.

These Jahmene apologists really are nasty pieces of work. He would be disgusted if he could read their comments.

He never wanted any story to be released .
The tabloids had the story were going to print it regardless .
Jahmene agreed to tell his story as long as the sun made a donation to women's aid .
Since the story has come he is making people aware the severity of domestic violence .
He has raised thousands of pounds for woman's aid in a short period and is also inspiring loads of people .
Only the ignorant or cynical Will think it is to gain votes

Please list instances and posters, not make sweeping generalisations, thank you. Because I don't know what to make of your post, that is all.

For example, if I were to say, 'Some of the posters are full of heart,' would you have a clue to whom I was alluding?

I'm not saying some of the posters are full of heart, btw

''Do you know him personally'' I always see people say that as a way to prove something. You don't need to know people personally to see their character, it is very evident.

The Jahmene defenders are doing all they can to derail a legitimate thread about being sick of his sob stories. Their attempts at bullying is disgusting.

Nast, nasty, nasty.

I'm going to vote for Chris just to spite you.

I think he'll win too, Eurostar — tis destiny and a wonderful Xmas present for Mr Cowell.

To be honest, I find you a tad hypocritical. You pretty much admitted in another thread that your interest in UJ has little to do with their music or talent (not musical anyway).

They have been put together and sold to us based on a look that appeals to teenage girls. How is that better or more moral than what you perceive as sob stories from Jahmene. It should be about singing ability not selling fantasies to teen girls.

As I have said before on this forum and I need to say again -you have no right to take the higher moral ground.

I am sick and tired of untalented boybands straight off a conveyor belt every year. They get younger by the year - ID should be called a schoolboy band.

That would mean that Jahmene has been topping the poll then as it's clearly a two horse race (James Arthur has no chance of winning IMO).

Erm, I've never attempted to take the higher ground. You however... wow, just wow.

I don't necessarily agree.

I disagree.

Union J are older than One Direction are now, let alone when they were on X Factor, the eldest is the same age as me and I'm way past being a school kid.
