Why is everyone saying Alex can't win??
She's bookies favourite by a considerable margin. I've seen her at 8/15 and Eoghan at 3/1 - thats a HUGE gap. The bookies although sometimes wrong are quite a good indicator! Its bizarre how noone thinks she can win. I mean she's female, black and confident - which makes it all the more difficult for her to win. But I reckon she can do it now.

Perhaps because most of the forum are Alexandra fans. And if they are anything like me when they have a favourite, they are pessimists! I always think my favourite might be going.

Why? Leona was female, black and OK not very confident and she won.I don't mind if she wins, but would prefer the MALE, black and confident, sexy singers to win ![]()

She's up against a cute kid with an ok voice with a regional vote behind him in a competition that is simply about popularity these days.
Bye bye Alex

Yeah but it doesnt work like that. Otherwise the final 5 would've been Alex, Laura, Rachel, Ruth and Austin.

I'm not saying she can't win. I think her vote will get squeezed though and I doubt whether many of Diana's supporters will vote for her. She must be hoping that Eoghan is 3rd at say 8pm next Saturday as this is her best chance. JLS won't beat her but its most unlikely, that with grannies, mums, most of Ulster voters and a sizeable proportion of teenagers supporting Eoghan, that she can win it.

I'm assuming Alexandra will struggle to win simply because Eoghan is still there, and if it was down to talent he'd have gone weeks ago, maybe months.
So whoever's voting for him in massive numbers aren't likely to suddenly stop, no matter what he does or sings. Alexandra, now she's established a high level, has to keep reaching that level to win the floaters. Otherwise she may even be overtaken by JLS, who are obviously a hit with the female fans. Even then I doubt her voters can overturn Eoghan's fanbase, especially if many of the Diana fans now start backing him. If Diana had stayed in at the expense of JLS, she may have split the teenie vote, so Alexandra has less chance of winning without Diana being there to weaken Eoghan. |

I cant see Eoghan winning. Whoever he is against in the final ( if he gets that far ) will have massive support from anti-Eoghan voters.

I think Alex can win. But I don't see her having a lasting career. There's no room in the market for another Leona-Mariah-Rihanna type of a vocalist. I hope to be proven wrong though.

That's an odd combination. Rihanna in the vocal league of Leona and Mariah?For what it's worth, Alex totally butchered Unbreak my Heart, I can't believe no one called her on it. It was awful. All her performances seem sub-par to me and everyone raves about them. I don't get it And it's not even that I'm anti her - by all accounts she's a lovely person. So good on her. There's just no "there" there. |

You've not heard the news about tonight's show then!? Oh, you mean the final two. With JLS getting through, when many thought they'd be out, maybe Simon's right and they do have a good chance of overtaking Eoghan to win the whole thing. I'm sure there will be loads more people watching (maybe voting) next week just because it's the final, so Alex and JLS should pick up their votes more than Eoghan. |

How JLS have survived this long with a string of recent sub-par efforts is mystifying though, Louis is destroying them! As for the regional voting favouring Eoghan... well Alex is from London? So millions of potential regional votes for her...? And any of the final three could win this - bear in mind it's not that long ago Diana was a red hot favourite to win, and she hasn't even made the final... |
