She is a natural singer, with a very, very, VERY good tone. Tone is something you cannot learn it is a gift. In my opinion she would be the best winner because she not only has THAT gift, but also ability, she does not shout her songs, though some fools on here would like to claim she does, hey learn to sing? She was the best finalist from the start and I am glad she is still in there!
She's also bang on pitch

I think she's gradually picking up support too, she's second behind Emily on the main DS page, and she has a firecracker of a voice- I hope she makes it all the way. It's not totally impossible she's having a bit of a 'journey' vote wise- I think she was probably third from bottom in the first two weeks being put in the bottom 2 due to the ridiculous flash vote thing and is now pushing on- I reckon she was Top 3 on Saturday so I hope she can keep up the momentum

Go on the Saara! Dazzle us! You are the only reason of my 1% interest on this year's show!

I see she's totally dominating YouTube views this year. Way ahead of Matt and the others. But yeah, it could be lots of Scandinavian and other foreign sites linking to her videos.

I thought that her performance was rather lifeless, and I could feel myself nodding off.

She was very poor tonight but what was the outfit and wig all about?

sadly I think the performance tonight will leave her in the sing off!
Awful staging
Bad song choice
And Saara looked beyond ridiculous!

They've stitched her up good and proper this week!

They have no idea how to dress the contestants. I still think about how ridiculous they made Misha look.

I'm biased.. I absolutely love Saara and have always enjoyed watching her grow each week. I hope the public vote for her this week as maybe this wasn't the best we've seen from her and she definitely deserves another shot. #TeamSaara

She has two problems

1. She is the best singer

2. Cowell doesn't want her to win

They were clearly targeting her to leave this week.

When the producers decide it's your time to go, it's your time to go.

There was no excuse for that ridiculous styling tonight except to make sure she is bottom 2 tomorrow night
Putting a silly oversized wig on a contestant where we can barely see their face only serves to alienate viewers. I'm kind of disappointed Saara didn't put her foot down and refuse to wear it as she surely knows she is being set up.

Saara's the only finalist I feel remotely passionate for. Hope she's safe.

Absolutely there were a couple of subliminals in her VT too

Gutted. Worst sabotage this side of the Beastie Boys song. Alas, she will survive.

At least when she goes out I can stop watching this rubbish- Literally the only reason I'm suffering through it.

On a unrelated note, if anybody hasn't come across Saara's 2013 album on Spotify its properly excellent and much better than anything to come out of XF for a fair few years. Worth seeking out to see what kind of artist she is.

If Saara is reading this, Disco Week I want the Leah Mcfall version of I will survive- She would smash it (also XF would love the subliminals)

She won't win, it wI'll be Matt I think, but let's get her as far as possible. She has a great attitude and a great voice. I think she will have a brilliant career.

I actually really loved her performance yesterday. Maybe because that's one of my favourite songs

I did think the wig was a bit ridiculous, though.

As much as I had hope for Four of Diamonds it was the right decision to save Saara.

Do people still think they want her out after they saved her this evening?

Genuine question. I'm not a regular viewer so I'm not familiar with usual run of things so I wouldn't pick up on producer's agendas, etc so when people were saying it was sabotage it all went over my head a bit.

To me it just looked like bad choices rather than an outright agenda to get rid but, as I said , I'm new to this so not in the know.

I love her, but may be biased as I am both a fan of Eurovision and Frozen

I hope she stays in as long as possible but am happy if she doesn't win so she can stay away from the trainwreck that is Syco

I think she is on their list of possible contestants to get rid of, but they couldn't care less about 4OD either so saved Saara over them

Ok, thanks, got you. So kinda like Saara can keep.

So who do people think are the preferred ones? Because as a newcomer I can't see it. Tbh If I was to hazard a guess at chosen ones I would probably pick Saara and Honey because they do seem to get the biggest 'production'.

I read that Matt is a favourite but he wouldn't strike me as being an obvious chosen one - can't see any special treatment there.
