Just shown again in the backstage bit there. Everyone else gets a pretty generic question, he gets praise from a star dressed vaguely up as a question.

Let's hope he goes tonight.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who noticed it, and I must admit it is getting on my nerves now.
But that doesn't mean I want James to go. I like him, I want him in the final, but he is not my favourite.

Maybe they hope he's not voted out too, like Ella and Christopher wins HA,HA. Don't think I could even watch the final if he's not in it.

I really like James, but it does seem that he gets an excessive amount of praise on the show in contrast to the other acts.

It'll be brilliant if it all fails and he goes out with Maloney heading to the final.

Hilarious. The XF manipulators know no shame. Time to put an end to it. Vote Maloney!

He definitely seems to be the 'chosen one' IMO.

I wonder what it is about him that they want him to win so much, seeing as the male solo winners usually flop?

He'd be better off coming 2nd!!!

It's probably desperation from the producers though, especially if he's struggling in the voting.

And again he has been named the first who made it through

Incredibly they've never once read Chris out first (but have read him out last several times)....they're quite blatant

Me too. Sick to death of him getting star treatment, it's getting so obvious now.

It won't work though : people are never motivated to vote by overpraise and OTT hype.

What's even more telling is that the announcement is done in No Particular Order. In other words - unless you were Union J you didn't know if you came 1st 2nd or 3rd.

I don't think James came first in the voting either..........but he was the first announced to the final.

Yes, and there seems to be absolutely no limit as to how low they will stoop in order to achieve that.
Really embarassing!

He's not even that good. He's no different to another scruffy busker you see stood in a shop door way, Jahmene and Maloney could sing him under the table.
