It's not just about who can sing. Lorna is probably one of the more forgettable acts this year. She didn't really have a narrative pre-live shows and that counts for a lot. The audience build a connection with certain acts through the audition stages (and of course that is mostly determined by the producers) but Lorna never really had any of that, she just sort of came out of nowhere in boot camp.
I think Lorna is definitely in danger actually. She will be overshadowed. The same thing happened with Rachel Adedeji a few years ago - she was one of the better acts that year IMO but suffered from the lack of exposure prior to the live shows and struggled to get the voters consistently behind her.

This isn't Big Brother. She can't carry a tune to save her life, and that's going to be her undoing regardless of how "likeable" she is.
I think this Flash vote system won't work in the favour of Lorna so I think she might be in danger .
I'd say it is between Lorna and Kingsland Road. It tends to be a group or over first to go (I think). Lorna seems to have come from nowhere and I think she'll struggle standing out, being of the same style of singing as a lot of the other contestant who have been much better established by this point. Kingsland Road have very little twitter/tumblr buzz, and I would have thought that would have been both the basis of 90% of their votes and also producer support. Their rts are pretty low for a boyband but its tumblr activity that is pretty shockingly little. Under 10 notes for a lot of their gif sets and a handful of posts a day. They're working at less than District3's level of support, and since they were in the bottom 2 week 2, I could see Kingsland being there one week earlier. I can't see the show wanting to push a boyband which has a struggling online fanbase either.
Kingsland Rd do come actoss a bit 90s plus their vocals seemed weak on the little I saw. They seemed like a nice bunch but unless they've upped their game a lot they'll be out before Bonfire Night.
Winner is from Tamara, Miss Dynamix, Sam, Nicholas, with Rough Copy and prison Sam as outsiders imo.

District3 had plenty of support!

I think it'll be Luke. I thimk people are going to be surprised at just how mediocre a singer he is.

Omg the woman is annoying,and people will tire of her hyper ness and terrible singing.She did a lot of boohooing herself over "my daughter blah blah blah. leave it out blah that she is leaving for weeks to pursue fame.

Exactly, its a singing contest not BB.

Totally disagree. Hers is one of the better voices. And it is a bit Big Brother. Certainly more popilarity than singing contest. Why else does they show more backstory than singing? Because the singing isn't that important!
You would think Lorna is a sure bet, but I think she'll come out and knock 'em dead which will get her enough votes purely on her performance to see her through this week. Bottom two will be Luke and Shelley.
I think Shelley will be saved - they need the entertainment factor (not that I find her funny anyway)
