Rhydian, Ben, Journey South.

Series 1
G4 (though I liked Steve Brookstein, was pleased he won and disappointed at the way he was treated by Simon)

Series 2
Journey South (robbed and Andy Abraham, Brenda Edwards and Maria Lawson were also very good)

Series 3
Ben Mills

Series 4
Rhydian Roberts


I have to disagree completely with that. JS are in the mould of many internationally succesful and long standing duos and Brenda has the potential to be huge all-round international artist. Simon however wanted the fast though fleeting bucks that come from appealing to the teeny market.

Rowetta and Brenda

Agreed. I was just about to say them. They were by far the best in them series.

Also Rhydian last year, what a joke that was.

The only joke was the way we the public were
steamrollered by Cowell into believing that Rhydian had some sort of divine right to win.

it wasnt enough for him to try and inflict those dire munters Hope on us too was it??

If you see the publics choice of winner as a "joke" just because it wasnt the way you wanted it to be then thats
tough.

i wanted Rex to win BB.you cant always have it your way.

ALl those people listing Ray or Ben. I mean cmon, they were god singers, but that year, frankly everyone was fighting for 2nd place. it was Leona all the way, the best xfactor contestant ever. But for those who were really robbed, no doubt Rhydian was, Maria Lawson was. Chinai was very good as well, but she was there with Maria wasnt she?
And Journey south for the groups!

SO again, any year coulve been objected, but no one was robbed in series 3!

Just been re reading this thread and can't believe I forgot about little Cassie from series 1. She was brilliant. Wonder what happened to her?

I think she went into Musical Theatre ..... I remember that programme where Girls Aloud were each taking on a personal "ambition" each week and Kimberley wanted to be in Les Mis for a night .... when they were rehearsing Cassie was one of the actresses/singers. I think she was playing Eponine

I would say Rhydian and Andy.

Erm, this thread isn't about who was 'robbed' is it? It's about the acts who we think were the best of those who didn't win, so don't have a dig at those naming contestants from series 3. The fact that Leona won that year is irrelevant.

Where are they now confirms this.

Louis said at the time that he predicted she would one of those who would go on to have the most success but in musical theatre. I think it is a matter of wait & watch with Cassie as she is still so young.

Please dont take offence...but....
I take it, juding by your name, twinkletoez, that you#re a girl. Big suprise that you thought Futurproof were in the top 10 acts that never won !

They were awful And Daniel and Cassie were mediocre

I agree with you ... I would say that this thread is about people's personal preferences and who they think should have won.

Not everyone is going to think that Leona is great and it's perfectly acceptable for them to think that .. it's all down to personal taste.

If we all liked the same people it would be pointless having a competition where people voted as we would all be voting for the same one.

Fair enough! I just think Leona is sensational!

lol .... that's fine.

I tend to think that Rhydian's a bit special too ... but that didn't help him, my favourites never seem to win so this year's contestants will be relieved to know that I'm not impressed with any of them so far ...lol

I'm male and I thought Futureproof were very good. I enjoyed all three XF performances (particulary 'If You Don't Know Me By Now') and I feel it's a shame Sean left the group because he had one of the best voices of the group.

Rhydian was robbed. That really annoyed me!

How can you be robbed of something you never had in the first place?

They were good, you are right. BUt I never gave them a chance. As a matter of fact them and Hope, I couldnt wait for them to be eliminated. There was one group which was twins and their best friend, that I thought was the best group, and they nevr got picked because of the makeshift groups. so I nevr was gonna give them a chance, LOL!

ermmm,its an expession! Go look it up.

I hate it when people say "so & so was robbed".

I may not have agreed with every winner of the XF (I've only agreed with one ) but each winner won because they got the most votes. They didn't 'rob' anyone!

XF1 - G4 1st, Rowetta 2nd
XF2 - Brenda 1st, Shayne or Andy 2nd
XF3 - Leona 1st, Eton Road 2nd
XF4 - Rhydian 1st (he woz robbed!), can't think of anyone for second... and CERTAINLY NOT FUTUREPROOF, let alone winners!

An expression? Really? Well smack my arse and call me Judy.

I'm aware it's an expression, but unfortunately there's alot of bitterness on this forum and it appears that certain fans of certain acts seem to be wayyy too obsessed with this show.

*whispers* Rhydian lost. Leon won. Shhh.

I loved Same Difference, and they didn't win. I liked Niki and Alisha as well, they didn't win. Am I going around saying they were robbed? No, because I understand how the VOTING works.

When you say soemone was robbed, it doesnt mean there was foul play. It jut means you thought they shoulve won! Geezz, you lot like to argue too much FFS!

Rhydian was robbed in my mind because Leon's VT was all about the sob story and Simon's comments to Rhydian were aimed at influencing the votes... Watch last year's final again and tell me the public wasn't manipulated...
