I'll go along with this as I'm in the 'Anyone But Fleur' camp.
I don't care if a small piece of warm putty found in my armpit wins it as long as it's not Fleur.

Have I made my position clear?
That's the saddest post I've seen on here.

Let them get on with it, I would say. Bitterness and hatred will eventually eat a person up. Very sad indeed.

I can't get my head around that either, hating someone you don't know personally. Hating her performances, yes, I can understand. Really, the way some go on here, anyone would think Fleur was a mass murderer or something - she can't help being popular with many.

For me it isn't about skin tone, it is about music genre. If Fleur sang rock or reggae numbers then she would have gotten my vote every week. But if she releases that Booty BS & becomes a poundland version of Nikki Minja / Beyonce, then I won't vote for her as it isn't my type of music. Same as when Cher Lloyd was in the competition, now I love some rap music but wasn't keen on hers, so she never got my vote. When Stephanie Nala was in the X Factor, she got my vote as I love reggae music. So it isn't a race thing at all imho, if a contestant sings material that l like then they get my vote regardless of their race.

I actually think Andrea might have an amazing night leading to a Andrea and Fleur final 2
That would be a turn up if Andrea won this board would go into meltdown

Fact. You shouldn't need to mention skin tone. Whoever you are whatever your point. Unless you are making a valid argument towards equality.

Agree with you on this. What ever the colour of the contestant it does'nt have any relevance to what they are singing, or how they perform.

I know who you mean, but it's best to ignore him really.

That's my favourite quote of the day and hopefully (for Simon Cowell) that's exactly what'll happen.

I think Ben will win too, he does tick all the boxes for who you would expect to win x factor. He does seem a nice bloke but I am not convinced he will have longevity in the music industry, would love to be wrong though

I just thing he is the underdog that most will vote for. Whether he goes on to be successful as a winner is another question and applies to anyone who wins. BUT if they flippin pair him with 1D, Robbie, Olly then I will scream loudly in this forum.

Be warned.

This is the first year where I haven't really cared who wins, but I agree, it's his to lose.

1st Ben
2nd Fleur
3rd Andrea

I have a feeling he won't. There is nothing great about him, also after last week, I can't see Fleur not wining.

This thread will be pulled up after the winner is announced.

Agreed, and thought it for a while.

Whilst Fleur is great, he is a sweet, good looking, white bloke which we all know X Factor viewers and voters completely lap up.

I like Ben though, he's consistent and comes across as very likeable - it could have been a lot worse,

Wishing somebody else fails in their dream and career - what a lovely person you are!

As I posted on another thread, favourites when the votes are announced in the final almost always win. I think Leon is the only outsider to ever win.

True, but it does depend on who they duet with (as silly as that sounds). I think on Sunday we will have a clearer view on who will be the winner but I really wouldn't rule any of them out.

Yep sometimes the favourites flip in the final (as Jahmene and James Arthur did), but on Sunday whoever is odds-on historically has won (bar Rhydian)
