..ooops wrong thread..

Fleur safely through to the final... Lauren in bottom 2.

Speaks for itself as to who the public prefer :creep:

The public apparently preferred Nicholas to Luke last year, and we both know who was better there.

One of the top 10 best performances in the history of the show

i have to admit, this performance changed everything for me...

I was a fan, but i wanted andrea and lauren to do better than her

but then i watched this and realised that fleur deserved to be in the final 3 more than lauren

and look how that turned out

On second viewing..Andrea was better vocally by a fair bit, but it was still the best performance tbh.

If the X-Factor means 'Star Quality' then Fleur has the X-Factor. She looks like a seasoned Star. Performs like a seasoned Star and I wish I was her manager because she is going to be 'Mega' and around for a very, very long time.

From the start on here, I had the final three as Fleur, Andrea, and Ben - in that order, and I see nothing which will make me change that prediction.

No offense here, but have you watched many X Factor's?

I'm actually interested to see how people would've reacted if Andrea, Ben, or SK had of done the performance exactly like Fleur did? Knowing certain members on here they would've pointed out the same flaws on their versions like I have on Fleur's.

In your opinion

The publics opinion is that Nicholas was better, hence why he got more votes. That's how this show works hun.

You have to be some extreme Scottish Patriot to think that Nicholas was better than Luke in that series.

And btw if Fleur loses the final then you can't treat it as fact that she should win as that's how the show works hun.

Or you might not be in to strainy, shouty voices? :shrug: Everyone has a different opinion and different taste.

Lmao what has that got to do with anything? When did I say it was fact Fleur should win? Whoever wins deserves to win because they got the most votes, simple. If you're still confused, google the XF voting format hun.

I haven't watched this year but watched the Fleur performance and yes, it is overrated, it's a bit average.

I think for you that you might like Lauren if you catch her on the right night, and OTY are hard to dislike I think.

And to Hayden why are you describing Fleur when we're on about only Scottish Patriots would be the only ones to prefer Nicholas to Luke?

Yes, all of them apart from rylans.

**** sake :joker:

What? YOU brought Fleur up, saying I shouldn't say it's "fact" that she deserves to win. A) When did I ever say that? B)Who says only Scottish people prefer Nicholas over Luke? Classic example of you stating your opinion as fact again...

My God...

That's it PREACH it Haylle :thumbs::clap1:

I was only going by UKturtle's tastes in other years, it was only a prediction ffs.

And everyone knows that Nicholas was only beating Luke and Rough Copy in the end because of the Scottish Nationalist vote, it's not just me that thought it at the time but most people was thinking it at the time to explain how Nicholas was getting votes.

And to your original point if Fleur was still losing to Lauren in the vote after all the time slots favouring Fleur by a distance, song choices, stage productions, and being in Simon's category and everyone listening to his every word like Sheep, then I would be very embarrassed if I was Fleur as I think anyone on here could be where Fleur is at the minute if they was given all that help.

Lauren wasn't good enough to win

Well I beg to differ as she has the commercial element that people say about Fleur, on top of also being talented.

I mean how Ironic as well that there is reports of Fleur singing a as she's another one that relies off looks rather than actual talent or decent Music.

If she was good enough she wouldn't have been voted off

Loads of good acts get voted off the show before the final, that's a silly comment to make imo.

She was fantastic. Kinda blows holes in the theory about 'professionals' miming as you cant dance and sing at the same time :whistle:

You are taking the piss now... aren't you? :laugh: "Everyone knows"... another example AGAIN of you stating your opinion as fact. Show me the voting figures that said 99% of Nicholas's vote was from Scotland? Show me the papers that clarify Luke Friend and Rough Copy are 'factually' better than Nicholas? I'm not a Nicholas fan, but you are once again stating your opinion as fact. Nicholas finished second, beating 10 other acts that year - therefore the voting public preferred him more than the others.

I really don't understand why you keep bringing hypothetical Fleur situations into these debates. Fleur has outlasted Lauren purely because she got more votes than her - therefore more of the voting public wanted to see her progress than they did Lauren. It's really not a hard concept to grasp.

Yeah, but at the end of the day the ones that the voting public prefer will stay in longer than the ones that they dislike or don't care for.

Lauren came 4th, and could've been 3rd in the votes and that was with all the derailing that was thrown her way, I think the public showed that they cared for Lauren, would the public have shown Fleur the same courtesy if she was receiving Lauren's treatment?

And every poster that I saw on here, DS, Facebook, and Twitter that was supporting Nicholas last year was from Scotland.
