Disagree completely.
OTY are horrendous vocally, and they've been bottom 2 - evidently not carrying the show. Fleur, whilst exciting to watch, isnt exactly a huge talent. But yes, she's something new. For me, Andrea is carrying the show - talent wise he is on another PLANET next to all these so called singers. Ben...who? |

Yes yes yes. Ben is great, Paul was great, James Graham from Stereo Kicks is great. But take Andrea's Somebody To Love, for example - it was just effortless! Not perfect, but the best of the night by far. If Fleur delivered a vocal like that, people would be going mental with praise on here. In fact, the Fleur thing baffles me - because she is definitely a great performer and a fairly decent singer, but she has never done a 'stunning' or 'flawless' vocal, as people on here keep insisting. |

OTY are so cheesy. I don't know why they're so popular on here.

That might still happen with either one of these acts individually....or both makeing it in their respectable areas of the industry |

Yeah, Only The Young are one of the only ones I'm interested to see every week. There's nothing boring about them.

Sorry, but Fleur has done 5 really good performances so far which is why she is at this stage of the show.

Fleur is excellent she never fails to put a smile on my face! Ok so she isn't mariah Carey but who is these days? You don't have to be an amazing singer to be a chart topper just look at cheryl Fernandez or whoever she wants to call herself this week. Cher Lloyd JLS ONE D Even alexandra Burke wasn't a massive powerhouse she reminds me of Fleur actually with some of the raspy tones (I like Alex a lot) however all have had massive success and I believe Fleur really will be a credible act to represent this country, next Nicki Minaj perhaps?
I like Fleur and am supporting her now Paul is gone. She can sing, dance and she looks good. I think there is definitely a place in the market for her. Last edited by Cpt James Kirk : 11-11-2014 at 21:32. Reason: Punctuation |

Imagine the show without Fleur and Only The Young. It would be simply dull.

Lauren's given the most interesting performances in this series, and actually performed most of them in a modern style unlike some of them in this series.
Ben is a good Rocker, but Simon is pushing him more into a Pop route to make him more mainstream to The X Factor audience. Fleur is an average vocalist, a decent performer, but there is better performers than Fleur in the show so the only thing that she offers that's different to everybody else in the competition is her style of Music. OTY are fun, their best performance being Monster Mash. Andrea's star performance has by far been Earth Song, like Lauren with Happy I think Andrea will struggle to hit that high quality again. Just my opinion of some of the competitors anyway. |

Insanity. There are only three contestants this year: Andrea, Lauren and the guy that always sings in the group of boys.
All the rest are just fodder to prolong the series. Andrea is probably the best singer that any of these programmes has ever seen. Not sure he's gonna win though since he's not hot enough to get the girls screaming, and that's all they care about, and they are the only ones who buy music these days. |

I know it's a controversial (well kinda) thing to say but I'm sure there are lots of casual viewers like me who are watching ONLY for entertainment. We know it's a fix and we don't really hugely care who wins. I'm sure I'm not the only one to Sky+ and fast forward through the show, watching only the performances and some of the comments and then switch the results show on 10-15 mins before the end to see who goes.
I don't watch the xtra factor and I don't read tabloids so I have no knowledge of sob stories or feuds etc. I watch it purely to be entertained, and this is the reason I favour 'joke' acts like Stevi because they're a bit of fun over someone who undoubtedly has a good voice like Ben because I find them boring. There's loads of reasonable singers out there, unless they have that special something I just find them dull and karaoke. It has to be said, I don't vote, but I am sure there are lots of people like me who do use the free votes and these casual viewers must be enough to keep the joke acts in - they're a bit of fun. I know my view isn't going to be popular and yes if the X Factor was fair the best singer would stay and the rubbish would go, but it isn't fair, it's done for viewing figures and I'll bet that if Stevi was in the bottom two with Only the Young (for example), Simon would keep Stevi in with some bull about how he's grown as an artist etc. No one person carries the show. We all watch it for different reasons. |

And yet you support Only The Young?
![]() I am looking for an amazing vocal and it hasn't happened this year. I would say Fleur and Ben are being carried (well supported) by Scowell and his cronies this year and 1 or two others. I don't get how they are carrying the show personally. |

Not a supporter/fan of anyone this year. OTY are entertaining - never said they were great singers.

I agree. I concur that Ben and Fleur are stealing the show every week for me but OTY I really don't get. I have tried to be objective and see what others see but all I get from them is the house band at one of those Thomson AI hotels on the Med where they are employed to entertain at the kids disco.
OTY don't do a thing for me. I think they're ok vocally, nothing great. Really don't like how they're styled though and definitely don't await their performances. |

I agree these 3 are quite good. I noticed Lauren get good reviews and could tell that her early performances, most notably Happy and Flashdance (What a Feeling) were quite original. Unfortunately, maybe through her or Cheryl's complacency that she has had the highest votes among the girls, she gave quite a boring performance last week.
I actually think Andrea will win, with Fleur 2nd and Ben 3rd. Oh yes, I have started voting for OTY now that Lola has dropped out. |

Other than these three, the final 16 line-up this year has been terrible. We've had a dull MOR group of Boys, we've had the joke acts that never were in Chloe and Blonde Electra, the non-entity that was Steph, this year's chosen girl who turned out to not be that good Lola, Lauren who's getting boring by the week, Jay who's always been boring, Stevi - a joke that was never funny, the most failed boyband attempt ever Stereo Kicks...
The series would be a write-off without OTY, Fleur or Ben.
