I hope saara wins as she is the most talented however she is not a pop act and I can see her having lots of work in musicals etc which is great for her

Matt will go the same way as all the other male acts the public are just not interested after the show is over and needs to win or he won't be signed

5am are just so bad so dated it's unreal , think the producers have them as their choice of winner now but they have nothing about them that would suggest even a small amount of success.

don't think so, as expected.

Saara will carry on being successful in Finland, and the others will fade away within 12 months I would imagine.

I think 5AM will get a big push as a JLS / 1D replacement, but whether it will pan out is another matter. Saara will get the Sam Bailey treatment if she wins and Matt will get the Ben Haenow.

Matt- Don't know. They seemed to have lost interest in him a lot. Syco signing Louis Tomlinson doesn't help. They probably don't want a vocally superior lookalike diverting attention.

5am- They will certainly try. Cowell wants a new boyband. I don't see anywehre near the level of fandom for them as One Direction or JLS had at this stage though. Plus, I think they are likely to split before too long. Kieran is used to being a soloist.

Saara- It would require imagination that Cowell doesn't have. Maybe they could try marketing her in Finland and Scandinavia? I think a career in musicals would be more likely and suitable. She would probably enjoy it more too.

Think 5AM have a shot.

Well it's all about the bottom line. If Cowell thinks Saara will buzz off back to Finland and disappear, he won't be forking out the 100k and record contract or whatever it is they get...So it'll be nice boy Matt Terry and we all move on with our lives...

Saara will probably be succesful in Finland, as well as having a musical/theatre career

5 After Midnight will likely turn out like Fleur, have one hit single and then vanish.

Matt....no.

Why all this talk about Saara going in to musicals. Can she even act? no evidence of that so far.

As per the usual - they will all probably make a career in music but I doubt it will be at the top of the charts.

She's been a voice actress in a few Finnish cartoons. She also voiced Anna in the Finnish version of Frozen.

She was also on stage in the Finnish versions of Wicked and High School Musical.

They have a great chance, but at this stage, it doesn't matter who comes first. Remember One Direction. They didn't look at all promising...

Louisa has had a big hit with someone else and a top 20 hit on her own post show.

Which I would call a small amount of sucess can't see any of those three even matching that

No.

That said, I can imagine Saara representing Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest in a couple of years time.

I've never purchased a winners single but if Saara wins I will this year.

I've never seen any of the winners in concert but I'll be first in line to see Saara.

A rare mix of likeability, quirkiness, versatility and sensational vocals. She can dance, play the piano and gives varied but always entertaining performances week after week. She's equally stunning with a ballad as she is strutting her stuff to No More Tears.

Success after XF is never guaranteed but I personally think Saara will do well.

Not many acts from The X Factor make it sadly, no matter how good or bad the act may be, it's all down to if Simon luckily likes you as the other labels won't touch an act that's been humiliated on a Talent Show.

In answer ....no

And Saara is already successful in her country anyway

Not helped by the fact that since Leona they whisk them off to the USA , after the UK public have spent money voting for them
They then appear a YEAR lateR when everyone has forgotten them

Well she voiced 'Anna' in the Finnish language edition of the animated film 'Frozen'.
So she can certainly do voice acting.

ETA: Oh I see I was beaten to it with this.
So I'll say that she's 'acted' in the music videos for several of her own songs.
For example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PENfMqL7qm0

This one is my favourite, that she did for the Angry Birds bods to celebrate the Chinese New Year in 2014. She even sings some of it in Mandarin. Epic!

Being a one hit wonder is honestly the best I'd expect from any of this lot, and even that might be stretching it. Saara deserves a lot more, but I don't see Syco handling her well at all,

With right songs why not.

Saara has said that she wants to try to get career in pop music and not do musicals at the moment. Even though Saara sings more classical style then Adele could she try some pop-classical crossover? I think with bit fine-tuning her songs "Can I keep the pictures" (both versions) or"You had my heart" could work on radio and song like "Higher" could work even work in clubs remixed.

Matt needs something which separates him from other similar acts, for some reason I think 5am will vanish after few singles.

Matt: no
5AM: maybe but in today's environment it's a hard sell
Saara: only if she plays her cards right; being part of Syco will make things a wee bit harder though

I think Cowell will be hoping that 5 After Midnight equal One Direction's incredible success. There's no doubt that the three lads are good dancers and are good with the audience. It's all a question of if young lasses take to them though. If they do, I can see 5 After Midnight being incredibly successful. As for Saara, I think she's got a great voice and she's shown that she's not limited to one genre. I think the lasses might go crazy for Matt if Cowell decides that he wants to sign him.
