This is 2008 all over again.
Saara (Alexandra) - Gains momentum towards the end of the show and ends up winning.
5AM (JLS) - Solid group who viewed quite favourably. Matt (Eoghan) - Sings well but fades in the voting towards the end. Emily (Diana) - The quirky singer who comes fourth. |

I'm sure Alexandra was favourite to win from the start.

Saara is more like Ruth Lorenzo. A foreigner who is bloody awesome and should really win because they put everything vocally and emotionally into their performances, particularly excelling in the sing off, but has some difficulty connecting with the audience presumably because they're not from the UK. I think saara will go this week as Ruth did if I remember correctly.

I preferred Diana to Emily. Even though Diana would pull out some atrocious moments when she stretched beyond her range, she sounded lovely when she stayed within it.
With Saara, she's probably a little bit more technical than Ruth but I enjoyed listening to Ruth's voice whereas with Saara I like listening to her ability but it isn't pleasant on the ear. That year they also had Laura White and they have no one on that scale this year. |

Eggnog was an incredibly weak singer. Ruth Lorenzo - I didn't remember she was in Alexandra's year but she was probably my favourite X Factor contestant ever.

If you think Saara will win you are kidding yourself, the xenophobia in this country now is huge.

I have no expectations or illusions of Saara winning. Matt will win and then hopefully disappear back into obscurity.

Alexandra came out of nowhere that year as did Ruth Lorenzo. |

Even I think Matt Terry is better than Eoghan Quigg. |

![]() They have all had one or two exceptional performances, e.g. Emily "creep" and "human", saara "winner takes it all" and Matt ...err..well maybe "writings on the wall", so hearing those again would be a high quality final. They all perform like artists. Better for example than Ben and cowell puppet fleur.. |

I had to laugh at Matt being compared to Eoghan
![]() At least Matt's hair doesn't seem to get bigger every week

I don't think the Matt/Eoghan comparison is a good one

Alex was packaged as a popstar in the end. Saara is not; I can't see it for her at all.

IMO Finland is not viewed in the same way as E Bloc countries by Great British Public. Scandinavian people seem to be accepted far more readily....
