I THINK Diana will win. However I would prefer Laura, JLS or Ruth to win.

Austin and Laura. None of the over 25's have fanbases to carry them through that far , JLS are quite weak vocally IMO and I think Eoghan's support is overstated. Most people who I've seen that like him list him as their 3rd or 4th fav and not their first so that may harm his chances. I think Diana may suffer the same fate as Ben who did the best in the first three shows but then went out in third place.

I'm not a gambler but if I was I'd put my money on Diana, hope she doesn't win though.

I hope JLS do

Austin's fanbase is not as big as people believe, I think Jls have a bigger one actually

I bet your bottom dollar if they do a movie soundtrack week we'll see Diana sing The Blowers Daugther and I think she may do Halleujah at some point those two peformances could win her the show, maybe Austin can improve he hasn't has his best week yet imo, as for Laura she had amazing comments from the judges yesterday and I think she will find it very hard to top that

oooh disagree there Laura is far better than Leona. Leona had a good voice but made every song sound the same bored me to tears. Laura can do so much more and her voice has such a depth and range to it so strong. Alex too is a pure entertainer with such a powerful voice, Ruth has a clarity and range to it. Those 3 for me are the best yet to come out of XF save for my all time favourite.

But even Leona in Week 3 got OTT comments such as her being the best female ever on a talent show in the UK and that America was loving her. I don't think good comments hinder your chances at all.

I think Austin has a shot but I'm not sure Simon wants him as the winner but I'm pretty sure he'll be at least runner up.

I hope I'm wrong as I like Diana but on previous patterns those that do well in the first few shows don't end up winning.

But I'm guessing the public loved Leona's peformance of Summertime, if ds and the bookies are anything to go by a lot of people didn't like it, it hasn't that many hits on youtube either, i'm guessing Leona was getting up to 100,000

Well she's still fav after the 3rd show and that's when I think Shayne became fav and also Leona if she's still the fav after show four then she has it imo, plus as people have said Ben's fanbase was nowhere near as big as Diana's and im betting he didn't get the teen vote
