I'm a female in late middle age, hardly ever listen to music, was vaguely aware of The Wanted and was determined NOT to be beguiled by the cute ex-boyband member.
And then I saw Jay the Caveman, shaking with nerves, but still articulate and well mannered, and very funny too. At that time I didn't care if he couldn't put one foot in front of the other, I was going to vote for him for however long his journey lasted (and tbh I didn't think it was going to last very long).
I have a son, thank you very much. Don't need another one. My ovaries are dead (probably TMI)
Jay is just Jay, imo the best dancer (now) and a very nice young man. If he wins, I will be delighted. If he doesn't, so what? He will have given it his best shot.
All the semi-finalists have their merits, most of them deserve to win. It's not a runaway certainty by any means.
