Jade Ellis, The darkhorse in the competition?

[Jamie585]

yes? no? maybe?

I think she is and will go far :xyxwave:

[Roy Mars III]

a bit racist

[GypsyGoth]

a bit horsist

[Locke.]

No, decent enough singer but she doesn't really stand out. Week 5 max.

[Apple202]

I wouldn't even call her an underdog anymore tbh. She's a definite contendor.

[Jordan.]

Undecided yet, she has to keep up the good performances if she wants to do a Little Mix.

[Maia]

I hope so, really quite like her

[Jamie585]

I wouldn't even call her an underdog anymore tbh. She's a definite contendor.
i Hope so :D

[Jords]

Think she could be, as long as she has enough support now to get her through another 3 or so weeks.

[Flamingjoe]

I'm not sure at the moment.

[Marc]

I don't think she's up there with Ella, Jahmene, James, UnionJ but she could stay a few more weeks. Would be a crime if she leaves before some of the other acts but that's what's happening this season so whatever :hmph:

[Petershaw1984]

she hasnt got a chance. the public would never vote for her....... for 1 shes gay and the british public arent accepting of that just yet. which is wrong..... i like her voice though

[Marc]

She's gay?

[Petershaw1984]

yup

[Jamie585]

Why would someones sexuality make people dislike them? I think she's really respected, whether she's gay or not, doesn't matter.

[Petershaw1984]

the public decide mate not just you and me..... in the gay comunity she is respected for being out and on tv but the simple fans of x factor such as working class peeps dont seem to like the "gays" im from a working class background and am far from homophobic but my parents and people like them dont want to see it flaunted in their face even though its wrong to live i the dark ages unfortubatley we are still there in some aspects

[Jamie585]

I think people will hopefully judge her on her talent! Lucy is the same, she has a large fan base, i think she'll be fine for at least 5 weeks

[Petershaw1984]

i think lucy will last longer..... jade will be out this week or next for me

[Jamie585]

Really? i think she'll be fine this week, there are people who were a lot worse than her yesterday, i think she's in it for the long run

[MTVN]

I doubt her sexuality will make any difference, Will Young won Pop Idol and ok so he only officially came out afterwards but it had been rumoured before and it never affected his success which will have been down to the same people who watched the show, and that was a good 10 years ago now. It's not that big a deal in these shows really, especially after Joe McElderry also came out and you've got the guy in Union J and Lucy also being gay

[Petershaw1984]

i agree with what your saying mtvn however there isnt many if any out lesbians that are succesfull...... jessie j even has to hide her sexuallity fro fear of losing her audience

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I think Jade is much better than people give her credit, I think she is definatly the dark horse this year of the competition.
