My favourite by miles by I have already accepted she won't win.

Tall glamorous 16 year old females who look about 26 are never going to get the traditional X factor vote.

Can she do anything to change this

She can't do anything. She just looks like a bitch, not her fault, she just has that look about her that I won't be able to take to enough to vote for her. And with the stories about her bullying antics that will hinder her more still.

Who is the traditional X Factor voter And why wouldn't they vote for Tamera. I'm a bit confused tbh as Tamera is actually favourite to win according to the betting so not sure why she needs to change anything to win.

I love her anyway

Think in a simple manner. Imagine the typical person who watches TV and sees The X-Factor.

Bookies tend to base their prices on given information. The OP is looking ahead and sees a grim future for Tamera if nothing changes, since acts will go and some of the votes of an axed act will move to another. Her style might not be to the taste of the others that have previously supported another act.

Me then The point I was making is because she is winning the betting surely she is the the choice of the traditional X Factor voter as where else would the bookies info come from?

And if she is a favourite now why wouldn't she be a choice from at least some of the votes come from those supporting others that leave Basically she has the most support so why look to the future in such a negative way. It makes no sense tbh

Bookies tend to bet on who the producers will back, as well. The OP is not sure if Tamera will warm up to the older demographic or the people who judge her for her past or to the "traditional voters" who pick based on what they watch and read about (in the tabloids/newspapers/...), but we are sure that she has a strong base now and is loved by the producers. Hence, the bookies' favorite.

That didn't help Katie Waissel, though, despite so many tries.

You can't make yourself likable.

Bookies find out by various means who is popular. Bookies do not want to lose money so studying form is important to them. If they have Tamera as a favourite then they have very good reason to do so and that includes how a traditional X Factor voter votes.

Tamera is fine how she is. Obviously it's not guaranteed she will win but to ask what she should change to win at this stage when she is favourite to do so is a bit silly tbh

Point taken. Maybe Tamera should shave her head in a few weeks.

My mother watches this programme and votes. She does not think that Tamera "looks like a bitch", she thinks that she can sing and voted for her. My mum also is old enough to know not to read dross like the tabloids or believe anything that it is reported they drag up about personal lives of people.

I am an older voter and love Tamera's voice and style. If I continue to feel that way about her will depend on fuiure performances.

If you're talking about that horrific assault where she made a girl kiss her boots and then beat her up Tamara confirmed that it's all true. So it's not tabloid dross in this case.

Anyone who votes knowing that is condoning not only bullying but outright assault. Anyone who does that to another human being has a serious problem.

Perhaps it is not her who needs to change. Maybe "traditional" X Factor voters should consider changing the reasons why they vote or don't vote for someone., such as what they look like and other areas of prejudice.

You mean voters should decide to support someone who should by all moral standards be in jail? I bet if it was someone you loved who'd been assaulted in such a horrible way by Tamara you wouldn't be so quick to support her.

You seem to know a lot about me. I wasn't aware that I supported her.

Dreadful song choice and I thought she was pitchy in places.

The only way they will get people to warm to her as by letting her have her own image and not turn her into another Whitney/Rihanna wannabe.

There were. She sang well last week, but she was not good last night.

Oh please!

Get off your high horse. You're overreacting.

You're so damn fickle you can't make up your mind about someone other than what you've read in the papers.

Get a grip, love.

That doesn't explain why the likes of Ella didn't top the votes, even early on, though.
