Imo due to Louis's acts being abused in the time slots all series Nicholas should be second last on next week, and Luke should be on last as his the only one that's not been on last yet.

Yeah this is how it should go.

1. Rough Copy
2. Sam Bailey
3. Nicholas McDonald
4. Luke Friend

But it will probably go like this.

1. Luke Friend
2. Nicholas McDonald
3. Rough Copy
4. Sam Bailey (as 2 last ons wasn't enough)

Excuse my lack of signature/avatar, I legit just joined here 'cause I needed to discuss XF somewhere lmao.

I come sharing some stats! I love love LOVE Luke. I actually think, at least online, he's picked up almost all of Tamera's votes (along with some converts). He's suddenly surging in polls where Sam Bailey used to be miles ahead. For example, Tellymix's poll. I looked up the top 5 poll (http://tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/the...-beat-her.html), where Luke is 3rd with 18% of the vote and Sam B 1st with 35%. Fast forward a week, and out of NOWHERE Luke jumps to 35% of the vote, only 2% behind Sam B. That jump is dramatic as hell, who the eff suddenly explodes in the vote like that where everybody else pretty much stays the same? This week on the Digital Spy forums he has 45% of the vote to Sam's 35%, last week he had 27% to Sam's 32% and Tamera's 19%. This forum is much, MUCH smaller but the poll here also does demonstrate a similar surge in votes for Luke (~28% to ~56%, with Tamera having ~35% last week). Notice how each surge in each poll takes a huge chunk of Tamera's votes. It can't be a coincidence.

For this momentum to carry him into the final, he's going to need to be great next week, though. Ensure all these new fans that he's the right pick to be their favourite. I just worry about the Elton song because we saw what happened last time he took on Elton...:nono:

Lastly, the singoff next week. It's strange, and I don't like it. My speculation is that Nicholas actually shockingly did end up somewhat close to B2 last week, and they think they have a chance of getting him into the B2 this week, where they can vote him out. I see no other reason for a singoff this coming week tbh.

I think Elton John "Tiny Dancer" would work for him. It's more fun and upbeat. He can put his own stamp on it. I heard that Gary Barlow wants to scrap this week sing off. I hope it's true. :)

He's due a late slot though. :nono:

Ooh, you're right, I can totally see him doing that. Good pick!

This week is probably his best ever shot at last slot. The other three went last these last three weeks, with Nick's last spot being the farthest away. But let's be real, they want Nick out, so he probably isn't going last. That leaves Luke. Unless they want to shower Sam B with her third. :conf:

I don't think they'll put him last sadly. :sad:

Omg! I think this song could be so good for Luke! :amazed:




This one would be even better!

The Tellymix Poll

Sam = 39% (625 votes)
Luke = 34% (539 votes)
Rough Copy = 14% (232 votes)
Nicholas = 13% (211 votes)

I'd love to see Luke singing this song!

Luke Friend cover of Run has reached 465,107 views on youtube! :o:o:o:o

Candle in the wind would be a BIG risk but if he pulled it off ^_^
I think the mock mentioned sacrifice for Luke
regarding the theme is it an elton and a beyonce or 2 from each or.....

Could be a turning point for him if he maintains the momentum.

529,505 views on Luke version of Run. Is this even happened on X Factor before? I don't remember one of their videos being this much popular. :shocked:

Luke in his email said he has to choose between Elton and Beyonce. I think he should go for Candle in the wind. The other song is a save me song. I think Pearl Jam would be perfect. he can perform and have fun on stage. :hugesmile:

Luke should sing this. My favourite of his original songs.

I think it's the most watched sing off in recent times, but a lot of live shows performances from years back reached a couple of million, still, it's his most popular video :love:

And yes, I was pushing for Sacrifice, but I think Nicholas will get that.

Welcome to the forum :love:

I think "Candle in the wind" sang by him would be EPIC! :dance:

This is funny! :joker:

I'm confused about this week theme. Are they singing both Elton and Beyonce' or do they have to choose? :conf::conf::conf:
