Please, please, please let's hope Alex will win. JLS have been good, but they seem mostly to have had stage school training and therefore we'd expect them to be able to get up on stage and hold a tune (please note I did say mostly in relation to stage school). Eoghan, well he can't sing.

Alex to win!!

theres a new video on the x factor website where louis says he thinks eoghan will win because he's been getting the most votes.
sadly, i think he's right. the ONLY way we can make alexandra to win is to hope that eoghan fangirls run out of credit or something tomorrow night and stop the votes! haha
but seriously, us alex fans need to vote for her like mad if we want her to have that small chance of winning

Having found out that Alex will be singing with Beyonce, i think she will win now.
Although i am not a fan of any of the final 3, i would like to see Eoghan win purely because i think he is the most genuine of them all.

I agree caroline, Alex is the only credible singer left in the competition. JLS aren't awful, I suppose, but Eoghan is.

Can she win? I think she has a chance. She will have a huge mountain to climb to beat Eoghan, but apparently she did beat him the week she did Listen. Simon seems to be behind her now, which is crucial. If she is amazing on Saturday (and I have faith in her to be) and Eoghan is thrown under the bus a bit (which I think Simon will take care of), she could win. The Beyonce duet should win her support if it goes well.

It's kind of like Leona vs Ray all over again.

I really does hope she wins.

If Eoghan wins, I would seriously consider giving the next series a miss!!!

I will certainly be voting for her tomorrow!

JLS are OK but Alex is in a class of her own. She's shown throughout the series how versatile she is and most importantly, she was able to find something extra each week she performed.

If disaster strikes and Eoghan wins then he should really share the £1 million record contract with his backing singers. Half the time I can't even hear him and the other half, he sounds like he's in pain. I've shared a lot of that pain.

Alex to win!!

If it is purely down to talent, then she should win easily. But in the past week and moreso recently I wouldn't be suprised if JLS won. My main concern is she is similar to Leona in that she is a solo female doing ballads etc, although i personally think she is a bit better and more charasmatic, but is there room for two and what they hell would Simon do after spending so much time promoting Leona. They would be in competition with each other

Alexandra is good but no way is she great, that is why my vote goes to JLS, I wanna see something out of the ordinary with x factor and an urban band is just what they need, not another leona lewis clone, although leona has the better voice.

Edit: In the industry you have the great singers, such as Mariah, Leona, Beyonce etc then you have the people who make great music Rihanna, Britney etc. Alexandra I cannot see her fulfilling the latter due to the fiasco that was forgive me - leona lewis, nor do I see her topping any of the great singers, she will be forgotten, without a doubt.

Hmm, I'd say Simon has more on the line than us. I'd be inclined to vote for Eoghan as Simon put him through in the first place. It's his own fault if he wins.

I think people will be very put off by the Alex Bey duet, they'll see it as favoritism and vote even more for JLS & Eggnog.

I really feel sorry for Alex because people seem to be very anti more of Leona even though she is so loved and the best thing to happen to British miusic in a while. People
(especially her own girl group x contestants) seem to be very anti her and it seems very spiteful, like they did n't rate her much whilst they were on the show. I kind of get the feeling they thought they were so much better than her and are pissed that she's still there.

I really hope she blows everyone away on Saturday and if does she lose to Eggnog I hope people are shocked, devistated and find it an absolute farse... just enough to make clive d sit up and want to make her a star.

If Alex after singing says a philisophical quote like she is attending Miss Universe then she has my vote, In my opinion she sounds so fake, atleast Leona Lewis who didn't dance seemed real

Alex is nothing special imo. She is a good singer but no better than the rest of them really, just a big belter. I'd like JLS to win but tbh I think Eoghan has it.

JLS or Alex please but Id prefer JLS because what has Alex got that Leona/Beyonce havent? I think tomorrows duet will highlight this!

Said this at the time but Alexs best or maybe 'better' chance was if JLS got voted off last week and pulled their votes. Diana going was a double whammy for her.

I honestly don't know who will win.

Sometimes I think Alexandra, sometimes JLS and sometimes Eoghan. I can't make up my mind.

Eoghan is obviously very popular and I think he's gonna gain a lot of Diana votes tomorrow, Alexandra seems to be the favourite everywhere and JLS have a really good chance too. It's a close one.
