What was our best final 4?
Which season had the best final 4?
Leona and Fleur are my two favourite past contestants, yet I didn't like any of the other 3 in each of their years. Objectively, I'd say 2010.
I was just making the poll and cackled at the fact that I didn't remember Ché existed even though he was from last year
That's a hard question I'm going with 2014 and 2011/2008
Nine times out of ten my favourites are normally out by this point, but I think that series 5, 7 & 8 were the best years for the overall top 4.

Understandable considering how forgettable last year generally was.
I voted for 2010 because it was the only year where I liked all the four finalists but if Misha B hadn't been in 2011 I'd have voted for that because I loved the other three
Voted for 2010 because I really liked all four
2008 was good too...with the exception of Eoghan, for me.
One Direction's year. Who could forget adorable 16 year old Harry Styles with his huge green head lamp eyes?
I voted Series 2 as all four were good enough to have a shot at winning
Though I guess you could say the same for Series' 1 and 6 too
2007 - only because of Rhydian and Same Difference - most other years only ad one decent act (if that) - 2011 with Little Mix, Marcus and Amelia was a close second
My favourites hardly ever last this long. Brenda, Leona and Saara are the only ones I'd been really supporting who made it.
Oddly Series 4 may be my favourite as I had a sort of mild like for all 4 of them.
2008 because Diana was there
2010 got my vote, but '08 and 2011 are close behind. Then a small gap to 2014, then a large gap to the rest. Rhydian, Leona and the current year I would say next, as the standout performers pull the average up, and a combination of Saara and Matt pull the average up this year.
The other years are dire with multiple deadweights by that point. Particularly 2012, 2013, and 2005. Last year of course was The Louisa Show featuring everyone else as extras, and that just made for extremely dull viewing.
2010 was the best year for Xfactor IMO both the acts and judges
2008: Alexandra, JLS, Eoghan, Diana Vickers
Shame Eoghan was there to taint the others. Had Ruth Lorenzo been in that top 4 instead it would've been even stronger.
3 people think this years final 4 are the best
This years is by far one of the worst, its terrible!
As for the best I would say 2010.
Very difficult question as there seems to be st least one act in the final 4 each year that I didn't like at all, even if the other 3 were great.
Series 2 was the only year I liked all of the last 4 acts
