We don't have much Scottish/Irish/Welsh regional voting potential this year so I think there will be different voting dynamics. I can see this coming down to the teen votes with Austin/Diana/JLS and Laura and Alexandra for pure talent.
What trends can you see happening?

I'm 15 and go to an all girls school. The favourites there at the moment seem to be Austin and Eoghan because they're both "really cute" (no surprises there ), Diana, Laura and Alexandra. So that may be an indication of who the teen vote is going to go to.

I think the groups will get a boost because it has never been won by a group before, it will definitley work in there favour, particually JLS.

The public generally get it right and vote for the best singer. It's rare that the vote is effected by the act's personality etc. With the possible exception of Chico and maybe Ray.
But in the end the "best" act usually wins.

Oh no oh no oh noooooooooooooooo. Please try and brainwash them away from Eoghan. For the love of Vanessa Feltz please!!!!!!!!!

I think people will like Alexandra, Rachel, Laura and Diana. Girls who don't vote on the 'cute' factor will go for Austin (who can sing). Bad Lashes I think will be the most popular group. There is nothing nasty about them as people and they can sing. Ruth is the dark horse who everyone will be shocked by come the live shows. Shes creeping up on everyone.

My school friends are always shocked when I say I like Ruth

My opinions are never that popular with them, haha, I'm sad to say that most of them do vote on the 'cute' factor. But it seems that Diana, Laura & Alexandra are all popular at school this year, which is good. It seems girls do sometimes support girls!

Good good you are already a lady with taste! I can't really blame young girls for voting for guys they fancy/find cute though. I just wish they wouldnt:sleep:

I think the public will like her. If they don't then she will be saved each week unless someone like Rachel also gets bottom 2 with her.

I had Riddian pegged to win after about half way but Leon was always going to be in the top 3. On the night I changed my mind as Leon was much better. I actually think it was taylored his way anyway.

As far as I can remember I've always picked or been happy with the winning act. I don't give a monkies about personality, back story, who has the nicest whatever. I just listen to them sing. I wish more people would.
I have very middle of the road tastes in music and I expect so does most of the voting public
It is all about tastes and where the majority is after all. There are some very differing, and odd tastes to say the least but the winners are gerally pretty "middle of the road".

Why thank you

And I agree with you regarding girls voting for the cute guys. But it just really annoys me!

They doctor most of the show to get people through to the end that they would appreciate and watch public reaction to see any indication of public disappearing.

At present the guys have looks but a lot of guys have looks so do they have more to offer? They'll check that out. I don't think they do and I am sure eventually girls will get tired of the guys unless "guy wars" occur and the strength of "guy wars" (where one camp of girls take on another camp of girls) which will make the guy more popular as more girls devote their time to the show.

In the end the winner is I think between Rachel, Diana and Laura - but Laura appears to be so obviously set for the win because she has the likeability factor. I can't see that fading at all and the fun thing is - she is likeable without a sob story... unless she has somethign up her sleeve.

But you have to watch out because family, friends and all kinds of things appear in the press that sway the public completely and Simon and his team will look out for this to see how they can shift things around.

I agree, but I fear the "shock eviction" week.
There's always someone that goes out just about halfway through that's expected to be in the final. I fear that it'll be one of these two girls. I don't think they'll want them head to head at the end.

...
Although, thinking about it. That would make for a great final show.

I haven't watched tonight as I was out so I don't know if the final few have been chosen, but I hope Amy (the girls) is in as she's the only one who seems to sing naturally. She doesn't try to sing songs like the original artist and she isn't nasal.

I can`t agree with you there, otherwise Rhydian would have won because without a shadow of a doubt he was the best singer (he had also had vocal training). Leon was a raw talent who was seen improving tremendously week on week - not just vocally but also in terms of confidence - and the public love someone who has been on the biggest journey and they got behind him. He also picked up a large teen fanbase (who tend to vote more in reality TV shows). I would also say that voting can definitely be affected by the act`s personality...............Leon came across as a nice humble lad who was very protective of his mother and again, the public loved him for that.

Glad to hear that ...... I'd say Austin and Eoghan and possibly Alexandra will all do well out of the public vote

I'm persoanally hoping to see Austin do well

If alexandra, susi, scott or JLS get through and get put out before the likes of eoghan i will loose faith in the show completely. Like they are trying to find a star (s) that can sustain success and maybe also on an international level like leona, however i can only ever see Eoghan if he won havin the winners single and thats it lol. (the sales of which would be terrible by x factor standards)

Eoghan, Laura, Alexandra, Rachel, Austin, Diana and the groups I think will be popular amongst the public and I can see all those acts lasting until the halfway stage.

I don't think Daniel will drum up much support if he has got through. If he's got to the live shows, I can see him leaving in Week 1. I don't know who would vote for him to be honest out of the demographic that usually pick up the phone and vote.

There's usually a shock exit halfway through the live shows every series, so I can see a really good singer going halfway through - possibly Austin or Alexandra..

Yes. You make a very good point. Rhydian had the better voice technically, but Leon was more of a POPular singer.
I'll give you that one.

Did riddles ever do the phantom?
