I haven't got any preference for this year. I am content with last seasons result when Louisa won and in truth after that i have no interest in voting again.
Looking at whats in the competition, its clearly going to be one the good looking boys that will win (Matt Terry,5AM,Brooks Way). The girl vote always helps, and i expect that to play a part for this season.
I think Emily Middlemass could go far,and possible Samantha Lavery.
I would also keep an eye out on Saara Aalto, she has been viewed the most on you tube, plus if given the right song she could certainly stay in for a while.
The Joke acts Honey G and Ottavio and Bradley, may stick around for a few weeks, theirs been alot of controversy over there selection, however don't forget every year the X Factor gets a joke act, so its not as if they haven't done this before. The problem on this occasion and more so where Honey G is concerned is that other decent singers have been eliminated, and especially in the over 25 category where it is deemed as the last chance for success, for Sharon to pick Honey G is a very strange decision.
Also i have to ask, what is the X Factor? is it about the voice?, the personality?, the entertainment? or the complete package?. if its about just the voice Honey G would have been booted out in the audition room as would a few others. I don't think theirs a clear definition over what qualities an X Factor contestant should have? I feel that within it's self has led to these bizarre choices.
I will watch the show with interest this year. Maybe it will just be me and a few others that do watch it but heck its something to do on a Saturday and Sunday night.
