But unless they have Leona or Louisa's vocal talent, they usually have 0% chances of winning. I bet this year we'll have a boy or a over winning.

I think that Samantha could be a Rock singer, but Simon probably won't let a 16 year old do that type of Music so she'll probably do Louisa's Funeral Music instead.

But I suppose I'll have to wait and see if I'm right on that if she makes the lives.

Yes!!! Christian was the best of the night for me, cried so much with the lyrics! Not the usual X Factor guitar guy!

That's not the criteria used to pre-select the winner.

Given that, it will be a male winner or winners.

II think that the winner will come from the overs this year.

Lmao I'm creasing

But I agree, Samantha is average but she looks and sounds like she has the potential to be a rock singer, different at least

They will try and turn Samantha into a pop princess as they do with most of the girls. No chance of her being a rock singer.

Samantha should do either White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, or Zombie by The Cranberries.

By a long, long way. Every year the girls category is hyped to the max and made the favourite to win but most of them turn out to be useless on the live shows.

The show has really only turned up Leona, Alexandra, Cher Lloyd and Ella Henderson in the last 12 years.....not much to write home about.

For the past few years a girl is always the favourite going into the live shows then something always goes wrong whether it be bad press or forgetting their words on stage and then the public turn against them and they end up being eliminated.

I didn't think he was that great.

It was way more about the lyrics and that it actually felt genuine rather than staged than his vocals

He was good but not my winner

Same.His voice is kind of irratating and sounds put on with fake or something. likehe is putting it on. also he mentioned ed sheeran and he now reminds me to much of him (songwriting i mean)

He was a poor copy of Ed Sheeran.

His strength is definitely more on the songwriting side of music at this point. His voice is pleasant enough, but he needs to become familiar with it and develop his own sound.

Well a girl has to be as good as Leona/Alex/Louisa to win, but a boy only has to be as good as Matt Cardle or Ben Haenow. You can see the disparity, the audience doesn't like female singers but loves very mediocre male ones.

I love Zombie but it would never be allowed as too controversial.

That's not stopped The X Factor before lol.

And to be answer some of the posts in this thread, there have been plenty of girls on this show better than Louisa that have failed to win just because they don't yell out notes.
