I think I know why he's been surprisingly popular. There is usually a straight up power ballad singer on the show (series 6: Stacey, 7: Tesco Mary, 8: Craig). This year, the award goes to Maloney, not because he has a magical voice, but because that's what he sings. Now he's in the final and a week away from perhaps singlehandedly destroying the show for good.

Thoughts?

Of course. He's so dire that he will be the death blow, too.

Christopher is a better singer than Jahmene or that other guy who needs a dentist.

Very good point. The show needs to redifine itself. Is it a just a singing contest, is it an entertainment contest or is it a singing style contest? They need to sort this out for next year.
Christopher is the only one out of the three who actually sings a song as it is written.
Jahmene has his own vocal gymnastic style that people absolutely love listening to.
James also has his own unique way of singing.
All three are also entirely different from each other.
Nothing wrong with that but don't forget that there are voters who just enjoy listening to an actual song as it was intended. Chris is the man for that, he has a good voice and he usually sings well.
I wish the judges would stop blaming Chris for his success. They put him through to judges houses and the public voted him a wildcard and through to the final.
Whoever wins the final will have earned the most votes.

Frankly, whether you are a Christopher fan or not, no one can deny he is the best singer in the show - he may not be to your style, but he is by far the best. THAT is why people are voting for him, pure and simple. The majority of voters don't use this forum or care about the drama is causes.

Also, I'd deny that the show is dying. People are voting for their FAVOURITE. Just because YOU don't like him doesn't mean there is anything wrong. Just like when Leon won over Rhydian, or when Cardle won over Ferguson. It doesn't mean the show is ending or "dying". It means your favourite didn't win. I'll help you build a bridge so you can get over it, dear.


I'll be voting Maloney because The future is bright. The future is Orange.

i think that suggests something terminal

Yes, there's a lot of truth in that. Many people like to hear their favourite songs done in a faithful style. The downside of this manner of doing things is that you're labelled 'karaoke'. It's easier to follow the well worn deceit of doing songs in the style of relatively obscure covers and taking the credit for 'twisting' and being edgy and original. Matt Cardle's rip-off of Travis's acoustic take on Britney's 'Hit Me Baby...' is a good example but they're all encouraged to do it as the mentors and backstage production staff trade well on the deceit also. The joke is supposedly on the voting public, or those ignorant enough not to see through the deceit.
