Well they not exactly the best group we have seen. But the viewers seem to like them

More than surprised, I'm not happy. How is it a group when its one singer and two who mime? And some judges Simon and the others are, to never once call them out on it! Of course they're all in on it, they must be. There's no way they could go through rehearsals and not notice.

I'm not bothered about them. I've only watched 2 of their preformances. I'm just really not into groups.

Nope I knew the oent Brooks were "out" because they were the closest replaceent for the boyband solo male pop singer /female/boyband final desired then cast by producers.Having said that, I do think they have talent.

I am worried they could sneak their way to victory as the producers seem to be favouring them.

They're likable which goes along way on Reality shows, even the Talent based ones.

If they won surely they'd be the worst winners in the shows history vocally

Yup I am, and they are only there because the judges and producers have used their usual psychological games on the voters. Don't you find it a little bit frightening how easy it is. Brexit should have been a lesson, but no! stupid gullible public still easy to manipulate.

It was heavily talked about in bootcamp behind the scenes. A few contestants told me that producers were pushing for a group to win this year.

Given their profile and push throughout probably not but considering the amount of back up vocals that have helped them I'm amazed, but nothing really shocks me on this show anymore

I'm not surprised, out of all the finalists they are the most commercial and will probably do the best after the show. One Direction and Little Mix rarely sang a whole song in tune and it didn't do them any harm.

They won't win, but I think they will have the most success.

I liked them back at judges' houses but their performances on the live shows have got worse and worse as the weeks have gone by.

I don't really see them as producers' favourites - I remember VTs showing them squabbling over songs and they've had some (deserved) criticism for poor vocals.

Am I surprised to see them in the final? Not really. It's been a poor year with any genuine talent overshadowed by the Honey G circus. A 5AM victory would be a fitting end to a series that started so well but collapsed into farce.

I thought they would be in the bottom 2 last night. Was surprised but pleased since the actual worst 2 were at the bottom for a change. Matt and Emily were so boring on Saturday and they really deserved their B2 placings.

5AM won't win - they will be 3rd. They are lucky to have lasted this long as they can't sing at all.

They are better than Reggie & Bollie from last year though, so at least that is something

I also dont think they are favoured by producers at all.They are just lucky boys in the right place at the right time like 1D was and couldnt sing or dance.At least they can dance and are the most commercial of the 3 finalists.

By now it should be clear that it is not about winning.5AM dont have to win,they will be the most successful from this year.1D were 3rd if you have forgotten

I don't think Cowell sees 5 After Midnight as a JLS type group, but more like One Direction II. One Direction have split up so Cowell will be wanting a replacement. One Direction must have made a bloody fortune for him since they first got signed to his label back then. One Direction, in my opinion, became the biggest boyband in the world.

One Direction were atrocious when they first appeared in the live shows and look how rich they ended up being, and how well known.

5AM don't have the image or looks though - although 1D did nothing for me as they are not aimed at my age group - lots of girls fancied them and they were ok looking young guys, whereas that isn't the case for 5AM. Coupled with the fact that they can't sing at all - I can't see how they will be stars long-term. But good luck to the lads - they seem nice enough and stranger things have happened.

They do have both of these. In fact, for the same reason for 1D, I suspect it's mainly down to their looks the reason they have come this far in the competition, as we all know, they are not great singers.

They had a good night on Saturday. Brilliant song choices. OK singing. Good performances though.

They'll be out third i think, get a deal and the first single will be make or break for them.

They're not exactly unfortunate in the looks department. If girls take to them like they did with One Direction, they might end up being the biggest boyband in the world, just like One Direction were.
