Early odds don't look good for Max, Kiera and Bupsi

Everyone appears reasonably safe

Though I'm sure it will change several times over before tomorrow

Bookies don't have a good history with reality shows plus as you say that could change over the next day. They don't seem to take likeability into account whereas the voting public do. At those odds I'm tempted to have a few quid on Mason going but the chances are the judges would save him anyway.

They used too... however seeing voting has sunk on most shows it means you get weird voting

Nothing changed overnight

Still looks like a 3 horse race for last place between Max/Kiera/Bupsi - think the bookies definitely have it right though I think Max is the one capable of better who got screwed over by song choice

All three of them had bad song choices which is why they are in the bottom three. That is why Coweel made OTT comments about kiera as he realised Max had messed up.

bit of a strange comment jeref as you said this about kiera's song choice when it was announced


and this

Not at all. It was the arrangement they gave her that messed the song up, but then it is all done deliberately as we all know. Bupsi had said during the week that she knew she had been given a bum song to sing. Its all so obvious what is going on here.

I actually think Kiera had a very good song choice but she just didn't bring anything

Everything about her performance was flat but the lives always throw out a few who are out of their depth and think she's the main one this year

the arrangement they gave her was almost identical to the original

i think your last sentence is very true but not in the way you intended ...

Bupsi now gone from 3rd favourite to go to absolute favourite

Though I still think they would save her over someone like Kiera or Max

I agree 100%. Early on, Kiera was up there. But at this stage, it's becoming easier to spot those who don't cut it. Hey, Kiera's not the only one, but she shouldn't be surprised to find herself fighting to remain in the competition

It might be Max or Bupsi also Max is probably the least memorable I can't remember him as much as the others just from 6 chair challenge onwards.

I actually liked Kieras audition and think she has potential but it's too soon for her. I think they should have told her to go away and come back in a couple of years when she knows more about who she is and what type of artist she wants to be.
Just getting someone who isn't much more than a kid doing the usual Whitney standards isn't doing her any favours.

Well spotted, how

its not hard , he always raves about the song choices when they are announced so it was just a case of looking in the thread from thursday/friday

But, you're missing the point. The song choice was great, it was the backing track and arrangement that was at fault so he isn't backtracking, contradicting himself or talking complete nonsense

Odds have changed at Coral after last night's show, latest odds here http://www.coral.co.uk/sports/offers

Still looks like a 3 horse race but Masons odds are shortening

Max has the third highest number of iTunes downloads, more than 4 the impact. I think if max sings classic well known songs, he will stay for a few weeks, rather like similar acts in the past like Paul akister or kai. But he won't get to the final!

Watch out for a surprise especially if there is a bottom three. Lauren performed first when fewer people were watching, and her performance was old fashioned and overrated imo.

Mason is currently 25/1 so maybe worth a punt at that price!

Depends how many are going tonight. If there was 2 going with the lowest votes out and then a sing off for the other to go then I think Mason could be bottom and go. But if only one goes then he'll be saved by the judges in the sing off.

I'm pretty sure that Bupsi will be bottom with the voters overall.

14/1 now so looks like money being put on him going.

I can't see the judges getting rid of him even if he is B2

If Keira is bottom two, she is toast. It's a shame - and it must be nerves- as she was excellent in her first audition, she is a much more credible recording artist who would get AirPlay than Sean or Anton who I recognise are great powerful singers but who gave strange over exaggerated performances imo. Simon would usually point that out, antons timing was off. Sorry for squeezing in so many opinions!
