This year started promisingly and I really thought it would end with a cracking final.

A Laura, Rachel, Austin and Alex final would have been must see television.

Instead we have some atrocious acts left.

If Diana and Eoghan had gone instead of Laura and Austin this would be a fantastic final five. It would have been very unpredictable but now we all know Diana is going to win, Eoghan to come second and then Alex/Ruth/JLS in any order.

Totally agree with you, now we have the most boring show to watch, the only good thing that could happen is that Ruth wins and the judges smiles (other than Dannii) have the smirks wiped off their faces.

I'd have liked Laura there. She was one of my early favourites with Diana, but she never matched her week 1 or judges houses performances.

Austin was dreary stuff. I thought "maybe it's the songs" but even his sing off song was an awful, sleep inducing 2 minutes.

Alexandra is a bit too generic for me, her performances are too easy to forget and she isn't good enough on the money notes.

Rachel showed how good she is during the sing-off and "Feelin' Good" is a great performance which I think is sadly overlooked on this forum. But when she was bad, she was terrible and was undoubtedly the worst last Saturday night, IMO. In some ways I wish she was there, but a bit like Laura, I can see why she isn't.

I'd be happy with Diana/JLS/Ruth. Groups tend to be lively and those 3 would provide a slightly wider selection of styles which we don't usually get to see on XF where it tends to be everyone trying to hit one note in a song.

Unfortunately, Eoghan will be there in place of JLS and probably win it while Alexandra/Ruth/Diana split the vote.

I think that would be a nice mix for the final

I do feel Alex deserves to be there for being the most consistent and probably the best singer left but the type of music she does is not to my taste.

I'm still quite excited about the final. IMO there is no clear winner at the moment. I'm not even sure who I want to win, but I sure as hell know who I don't

It might be like last year - everyone expected Rhydian to win and Leon ended up grabbing the title! Bring it on!!
