I agree with you on that one. Winning the whole thing is'nt always the best outcome for the contestants as they cant really do their own thing for at least a year.

Not everyone would cry hearing they were through people react differently not crying doesn't mean you have no emotions.

She is clearly most marketable candidate there whether people like it or not. Yes I agree, winners are kind of stuck with Syco and have to wait for a year to release something.
Hannah,is my second favourite and love her voice to the max and can be marketable in a certain area but I don't know whether she'll have a mass appeal compared to Tamera or Miss Dynamix - whatever the situation I'll be rooting for Tamera, Hannah and Miss Dynamix

They are the three that i would most like to do well.

My ideal grand finale....but I don't think it will work that way coz that Nicholas will more likely steal one of the slots

I would say there is a fair chance that two of them could make it, but i guess it will all depend on how they can perform over the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.

Yes there is a decent chance for 2 of the our fab 3 to make the grand finale but yes performances and selection of songs is key

I think Tamara did cry though - when she narrated the story about how people around her never thought she would get anywhere.

@Julie Smug? I think you're desperate to imagine things Julie. Can't she be happy that she got through to the live shows of one of the biggest singing shows in the world? She doesn't have to be a moping child.

Abi wasn't in tears when she approached Dermot either. Jade wasn't crying that much visibly.

Nicholas has a lot of last years Union J fanbase supporting him and apart from that weren't popular (in B2 3 times) so he won't do as well as expected IMO

Well I hope not

Thank God one of them held it together. The tears this year are ridiculous.

No. You have to have talent and charisma and know how to come across in a way that will interest a big segment of the voters to win.

Tamera just might manage to do this.

She actually came across as more mature than some of the overs, and while she did tend to sharp in her upper register, she mostly held on to the melody of her song at judges houses .A little more control and she's a real contender.

Yes I agree - I think some people on here are hoping to see her fail or fall or they feel bitter because their own favourites didn't get through. Some people are looking for weaknesses but let's see where this will go

SHES a great singer no doubt. But the public need to really like her in order for her to win and I think that foot kissing incident will ultimately be the reason why she won't finish 1st ,

He does but he also has the granny vote + older demographics and those that prefer a straightforward vocal.

He's also been pimped to no end pre-auditions like Eoghan, Maloney so I can't see how he's not going to finish 1st every week with him coming 3rd overall.

You don't have to know any of that stuff. In fact truing to be what the public want is just as lilely to make you seem insincere as to win you votes. Either the public want to vote for you or they don't. Tamera just has to be grateful for public support and not take it for granted and she'll be fine, but she's better off saying nothing than faking it.

I guess he's gonna be a hate figure as well which will go well for Tamera
