Saara is up against it, their is no doubt about it, she will be lucky to make it through to Sunday nights show.

She has the misfortune of going up against two acts that attract alot of female voters, and especially in a final, more girls tend to vote that wouldnt have done so in the previous rounds.

At the same time Saara has had an unbelievable turn around, to think being initially kicked off the six chair challenge by Sharon, to being in the bottom on was it three occasions?

No doubt its one heck of a comeback, the judges didnt even believe or give her a chance, so yes its been an amazing recovery.

All she can do is battle and sing her heart out and give it everything if it isnt enough at least she tried and gave it a go.

These shows do see the correct winners from time to time, i just find it ashame that votes are dictated on looks rather than how someone actually sings.

Saara in the long term will outsell both Matt Terry and 5AM in the real world of the music industry so with or without the big SYCO contract Saara will do very well out of this show in my opinion.

Saara will outsell 'x', really? In what field?

The thing is, she has already had a go at these shows and not won in her home country, plus she was with Finland's biggest popstar for 9 years so presumably she's quite famous there already, yet she still isn't a recording star?

Doesn't that say something about how likely she is to get a pop career going at this stage? Theatre or cruise ships, maybe.

Has anyone in the UK ever heard of Finland's biggest pop star that Saara dated? No I didn't think so.

Saara is as successful as any Finn could be without leaving her home country. She had to come to the UK to try and further her career.

Just because she came second a couple of times in similar shows in Finland doesn't mean she wasn't the best singer and certainly doesn't mean she won't do well in the UK. Plenty of acts that didn't win X-Factor have gone on to have very good careers and there is no reason Saara can't be even more popular here than she is back home.

Trust me, few people in Finland have heard of the so called "Finland's biggest pop star" that Saara dated. Atleast not younger people. That he is a big pop star was just one of tabloid lies/exaggerations. Saara might have been the bigger star of the two.

Depends what you mean by a "recording star"? She's had 5 albums out in Finland (and China?) and various singles.

They haven't impinged much on the rest of the world right enough. But I was pleasantly surprised to find her 2013 album 'You Had My Heart' and her recent single 'No Fear' on my Amazon Prime Music.
Plus you can buy 3 of her albums on Amazon, as MP3 downloads

Another good article (and poll) about why Saara should win.

because the teen girls will split votes between matt and 5am she has more advantage in a three way race rather than in final two.
so she has to get most votes tonight

I hope she has a good night. Of the 3 rumoured songs saara is my favorite as it has the most potential.

Who else is excited?

A video of Saara singing sort of quietish to someone holding a camera in Leicester Square. 1:23 on the counter.

VOTE for saara! Don't assume she will win
Matt may be in the lead - lots of positive buzz for his duet, reaction positive for saara but not quite as strong

I am so happy she made it to the top two, sadly I think Matt will win it, the girly vote is strong, and I think Nicole's singing might have helped him more to win.

I am going to keep voting though.

Thought Saara was awesome tonight. She really is in a league of her own.

However it's rather concerning that the bookies now have Matt as the favourite. Saara's odds are drifting with every bookmaker and Matt's have shortened dramatically.

Matt is now the favourite and odds on to win with Bet365, Skybet, Betfred and Ladbrokes.

If Saara is going to win this we're going to have to vote like crazy.

If you normally vote 10 times make it 20. If you normally vote 20 make it 40. If you normally vote 100 make it 200. Keep upping your votes guys. Every vote counts and you can make a difference.

She's the underdog again now but we know she deserves to win and togetgher we can still make this happen. Vote Saara!
