Only two worth watching
Nicky and Rhydian are the two stars of X-factor this year.... as far as I am concerned the rest are just there to make up the numbers... and it doesnt matter at all in what order they are eliminated, except perhaps that brother and sister act.... who dear God... if they are not kicked out next week, there is no justice in the world.

Well, yes, Rhydian and Nikki are good. But I would add Leon to your list.

Rhydian is certainly a show stopper, but I couldn't stop myself cringing and laughing at his performance last Saturday.
Nikki has been belting out ballads, it would be nice to hear her sing something up-tempo. I dont really go wow over Nikki, whereas someone like Jordin Sparks on AI did. So for me Rhydian is standout, but not for the reasons the OP probably has. |

For me Leon is the only one I want to listen to and I could see me buying a CD by him- (and I'm not a fan of swing) I like Emily too and I don't think we've seen the best of her. Rhydian is very polished and entertaining in the way he acts out the song but I wouldn't dream of buying one of his records. Niki is good but predictable and I can see both her and Rhydian having a careers in the west end.

I think Niki is very good....but can she sing ballad after ballad every week and it not get boring?!
I look forward to Andy cos I think he is versatile which,despite them being good, Niki and Rhyd arent |

Rhydian's performence are very weird but he has something about him that makes me want to watch. I can't help like him.
Nikki is the best singer vocally, but they need to stop talking about her late father. They were better with that this week, but the first week of the live shows the programme was almost unwatchable because of how much rehashing the subject got. Nikki's got a very nice voice and doesn't need a sob story. |

Rhydian is very entertaining, but he won't win, and shouldn't. There's no place for him in the mainstream music industry, which is the point of this show.
Nikki can sing well (not as good as some people make out), but she's not a star. |

someone like Leon or Hope should win as theyve got futures as artists |

i agree about rhydian being one to watch but niki! yes, she has a good voice, but zero "star quality". i think IMO same difference have a good future with their type of super cheesy pop music. my son and my niece both love them

Nikki has a good voice but she just leaves me cold emotionally to be honest, i find her quite boring. Loving the Riddler, but have to be honest... again! Personally l love watching Futureproof but that's because i'm a superficial female and i think Sean is hot!!! *lol*

I agree, Niki and Rhydian are the only two acts who have delivered great performances so far.

Andy for me, although I do have a soft spot for Leon.
Niki sings well, but does she have the X Factor? No IMO. And Rhydian is a novelty act! |

Leon has a strong voice. However, he has no personality, Charisma or stage presence. Louis was right with his comments about Leon.
Andy can't even sing! |

Leon's is the voice I enjoy listening to the most.I would definitely buy his cd.
I like Nikki and Rhyddian but doubt if I would buy their cds. The rest are forgettable. |

Leon, likeable guy, but hasn't delivered on stage and doesn't have the "X Factor" off stage either. Of my six acts: Rhydian - great performances to date, but want to see him outside his comfort zone Niki - great voice, but nothing else Futureproof - Love them, but haven't stolen the show either time so much still to prove Hope - Hate them, love the hype, want to see them struggle without those off stage backing singers Beverley - Great voice, but like Niki limited appeal commercially Same Difference - the UK's High School Musical? Possibly. Strangely enough the only two I see actually doing anything big are Futureproof and Same Difference. |

Nikki can sing well (not as good as some people make out), but she's not a star. But with Rhydian.... who knows. G4 had a lot of success, far more than Shayne Ward has managed - who could have predicted that? If people like Russell Watson can make a fortune from popera, then why not... not that I'm suggesting Rhydian's voice is as good as Watson's because it isn't, but there is a big market for that kind of thing. |
