Who is the best female ??GOTTA BE Brenda.she is fantastic,very bubly and great singer.maria is very good too though.i like maria.i love brenda.

I love Maria. Much better than Brenda, I like them both though. They are great singers.

I like them both but Maria is better IMO

brenda is miles better. and she has a fab personality too

I don't know. It's quite a tough one.

I think Maria has a better chance of success, and she seems to be able to perform a variety of songs.

However, Brenda has a personality, which I don't see from Maria. But, I can't see Brenda going anywhere after this show.

So, I really don't know. At a push, I would probably say Brenda.

But, I think the judges would favour Maria over Brenda.

Both are amazing, it would be great if they were the final two!

Brenda is the best! Brenda to WINNNN!

Maria is just too perfect. She's younger, prettier than Brenda but Brenda's the one for me, she's got a fun personality, is larger than life and looks like she's having a great time. Maria will get a recording contract whether or not she wins X Factor, that's why Brenda should win.

I personally prefer Brenda!

She rocks!

I prefer Brenda but ive a feeling Maria will go further in the competition

If someone like Brenda (i don't mean her voice), wins the X-Factor, her career will go the same way as Michelle McManus's did.

The problem was the voting public who supported Michelle to win, soon lost interest.
