In my opinion Fleur gave the best performance since Alexandra Burke - Listen(which has been my favourite, because I haven't saw that moment until now)

I'm stating that she's very overrated (like last years winner was) for other stuff that isn't to do with her singing, if you want to watch a dancing show there is a show on BBC1 called Strictly Come Dancing, and on Sky 1 called So You Think That You Can Dance.

And also how come Fleur was the only one doing an uptempo tonight? Simon deliberately did it to make her standout because she can't actually compete with the other 3 without some pathetic little gimmick, this being the most effective one of them all.

And she wasn't allowed to stay on earlier than Lauren in the time slots either, I wonder why that was? The show has always been a sham, but it doesn't even bother to disguise this year, if you're not a fan of Fleur and have been supporting someone else just give up now as we've been forced to have Fleur win.

Lauren does better at uptempos than Fleur, it proves it as she needs less gimmicks on them than Fleur does.

And I get that Lauren may not be to your style but pretending that she can't sing when she clearly can is laughable, the only one that factually cannot hold a note is Fleur.

She was relatively fun for the earlier weeks when there was boring dross in there that couldn't hold a note, but they're all gone now and the fact that Fleur is considered a winner off this Uptown Funk performance is laughable, she actually hardly sung on a singing competition.

Is it really seen as a gimmick to be able to sing and dance these days?

Lauren is a great singer, I enjoyed her voice a lot and I have thrown votes her way in the past but Fleur is more than a singer, she puts on a performance and thus far she is the only contestant in the final 4 who I think is just more than a good voice.

She was singing and dancing I don't see the problem, I will be **** boring if the act just had to stand every week and sing a song

As do the 2nd bit;
>>>>>>>>> Lauren, Ben, Andrea

Fleur also got 1st & 2nd two of the worst places, the only reason she's getting praise every week is because she's amazing every week

I thought it was really good.

Sure the vocals were no Andrea. But as a performance as a whole Fleur is pretty much ready to be a pop star tomorrow.

I think of the 2 performances from both one wasn't better then the other, both did better in their 2nd songs but from someone who usually loves female singers, I don't really rate either of these 2 at all.
Instantly forgettable for me.

First of all, X Factor is an entertainment programme. Therefore, that includes performances. And performances are often when someone puts on a good show by singing and dancing. If you want to watch a singing contest with no gimmicks, go and watch The Voice on BBC1.

Fleur was the only one that did uptempo because she IS the only one that can do uptempo. Lauren failed miserably last week at Clarity, Ben's voice is only suited to rocker-ish songs, and Andrea just hits ballads every week. None of them can dance as good as Fleur, so why even try and bother? Can you imagine how dull and slow the final will be without her.

And when it gets to final 5, the running order always switches about for the second performances, so I'm not really sure why you're crying over that like it's some massive attempt to rig Lauren out of the competition Not sure how we've been forced a Fleur win when her audition wasn't even shown and no one knew who she was until Judges Houses

You are a lost cause, there's no point explaining all this stuff to you as you are dead set on trying to make Lauren look like the best thing since sliced bread.

Andrea's Wrecking ball was overrated because it wasn't that good, too much shouting and it was boring.(imo)

Fleur smashed her performance so the reaction she got was well deserved

I thought it was very slick by X Factor standards and showed her off as a popstar as opposed to a karaoke singer but meh
