Great voice, great attitude, outside the usual X Factor mould. What's not to like!
Besides she's our only hope to defeat that Dark G Force

With Relley gone, she is the only one I like still standing.

Hope she gets an inspired song choice next week.

Even though the X Factor "script" would prefer her gone by next week, I think the Halloween theme actually really plays to her theatrical strengths as she is one of the only acts capable of putting on a real show
I really hope she can at least hold on long enough to make the tour cut-off.

Totally agree, can't understand why she doesn't get votes...if people want to make a point about Brexit, they should do it away from The X Factor!

I liked Relley too but hopefully now she's out Sharon & co can focus their (serious) attention on Saara. All Honey needs is a new trackie each week!

Although Saara has a good voice there is now way that she can win X factor with the type of singer she is. Sorry but I can't agree with you and could never vote for her!

This is why she's in the bottom most weeks!

Best singer in the "finals" by a country mile, but the public dont vote for the best singer, anymore though it does seem the public are warming to her, could be a darkhorse! I don t think her singing will win her this though. Wrong series, wrong time.

She would have stood a good chance if she'd been British, but as it is, there's too many people thinking she shouldn't be on the UK show.

YES! Love Saara! Her facebook live chats are adorable, she is so grateful for the votes and really appreciates it. Also she is by far the best singer and entertainer this year! Keep her in please!!

She has a great voice but some of her mannerisms when she sings are a bit odd. These shows always say they're looking for something a bit different, but all they do is churn out cookie-cutter act year after year. They don't really want someone who's different. Well, they do, but only for the sake of viewing numbers and voting revenue. I'd like to see her win but she won't.

Disagree, Honey needs huge input from producers as they have to re-write the track to fit in some ludicrous Honey G 'rapping' in the middle.

Saraa already seems like a professional singer, but she's not connecting with the audience all that well because she's not British. Sharon probably phones mid week to consult on her outfit choice and that's about it; the vocal coaches do the rest.

I've seen some brilliant performances from her on Youtube. I think she hasn't quite shown her potential on the show yet. I hope she lasts a while longer.

Saara has received the most views on YouTube for her performance on Saturday (compared to any of the others - over 1 million views more than any other act!)

Could she have a chance of doing well in this?!

I really like Saara and don't think she deserved her bottom two appearances. I actually much preferred her first two performances to the last one. I'm not sure I'm really keen on this new direction but, I suppose, if it helps keep her out of the bottom it's all good.

She could, however, lots of finnish people are watching her videos as she's the main news material in Finland. So, I don't know...

Can I participate? I want her to lose. The only reason she got through this week was because she was the last person on. Her rendition of the Bjork song was absolute crap. Go listen to the original to see how much better Bjork is.

As soon as they put her early in the running order SHE WILL BE OUT.

I'm hoping she might build a head of steam and push on but I'must not holding out much hope- Halloween should really suit her theatrical nature though so she might get through this week hopefully before another btm 2 appearance.

There is also the possibility however that she was third from bottom in the public vote both time's and she''s gradually picking up votes from the eliminated contestants- We know she definitely wasn't last at least one of the weeks which indicates she has some level of support

Don't think that means a lot as last year 4th Impact had millions more views than all the other acts

I've heard a few people say this and while its probably true that a lot of people in Finland are watching on Youtube, there are only 5 million people in the whole of Finland! Its hardly like 4th Impact with 100 million people.

Popular finnish music videos can easily reach about 4 million views fairly quickly so finnish people are surprisingly active on Youtube. I would put some examples here but don't think anyone's interested.

Don't know about 4th Impact though as this is the first X Factor UK i'm watching.

Saara doesn't need any help with her voice itself, especially not in comparison to Honey - but obviously what Honey is doing is getting her votes and what Saara was doing wasn't until last weekend. Someone in the team, probably not Sharon but one of her associates, will have advice for Saara about how to make herself more appealing to potential voters who haven't yet connected with her.

Even if Honey did have less input, she'd probably still get votes because people are voting for the joke, not for her actual performances as far as I can tell - whereas those who would vote for Saara would need her to be getting it right, if that makes sense.

Did you all notice Simon the bitch asking contestants to sound more "British" when they sing? Not so subtle dig. Our Saara will leave him speechless during Fright Night.
