Other that Paul and Relley, I can't really distinguish any of the others. Well apart from Joseph Whelan (for the wrong reasons). So I'd have to say Paul for the win with Relley second place. I'd put Melanie McCabe in third purely because I'm aware some people on here bang on about how she wuz robbed etc (though I'm afraid I still can't really remember her)

All the others leave in a tied deadlock in Week 1.

Having seen their desperation for Sam to win, possibly to encourage more 'overs' to enter, it explains why Paul was not selected, he posed the biggest threat. Sam did come in with a fabulous voice and you can't ignore that, but she also had the story. However how come she was rejected a few years ago. Normally Cowell would never go with a mumsy type, no matter how good their voice is, image is what he makes his money with, i.e. One Direction.

With only three contestant left for the duration of the series then they might actually get the show down to a round hour with only 45 minutes of adverts.

I reckon the order of eliminations would've more or less likely go something like this:

Week 1 - Code 4
Week 2 - Ryan Mathie
Week 3 - Jade Richards
Week 4 - Zoe Devlin
Week 5 - Giles Potter
Week 6 - Brick City
Week 7 - Andrea Magee
Week 8 - XYRA
Semi Final - Relley Clark
Third - Joseph Whelan
Runner-up - Melanie McCabe
Winner - Paul Akister

Looking at that list has also given me an idea for one of my upcoming games.

I won't even start with my guesses from scratch lol. I'm inherently biased towards women and will put the Girls and the female Overs higher than they probably would. So working from your guesses, I will swap Jade and Brick City, Giles and Andrea, then put XYRA past Relley and Joseph.

I never got the hype around XYRA, they were just a generic girlband :/

Let's be honest, that's enough to be considered groundbreaking.

They reminded me of Bad lashes although some people on here seemed to think they were an edgy Little Mix.

Maybe but at least XYRA could sing and harmonize better than Miss Dynamix who were all over the place.

I didn't like Miss Dyanmix either, the girlbands in general were average this year.

I actually think it would have been a much more enjoyable Top 12. Some more diversity and no obvious producer favourites. Relley was stronger than Tamera and Hannah, Andrea and Zoe far more interesting than Shelley and Lorna and the groups more than just generic boy/ girl bands.

Here's how I think it'd have panned:

Week 1- Code4
Week 2- Jade Richards
Week 3- Zoe Devlin
Week 4- Brick City
Week 5- Ryan Mathie
Week 6- Relley C
Week 7- Xyra GARY OUT
Week 8- Andrea Magee
Week 9- Joseph Whelan SHARON OUT
3rd- Giles Potter
2nd- Paul Akister LOUIS OUT
1st- Melanie McCabe NICOLE WINNER
