Default Back to a 2 horse race?
Before last night i thought Leona was going to win, but after Ben's performance last night i think he has put himself right back in it.

Anyone agree?

They will both do well.
I think Leona, Ben, and Eton Road are all gonna be succesful
Those 3 were only gonna be the successful ones, any others would be forgotten.

neither of the two need to win, so whoever does, it doesnt matter

Leona only does ballads.

People clearly like him doing rock though as he's never been in the bottom 2,his voice has that distinctive tone to it and doing something other than rock wouldn't be suited to him imo.

It seems quite sure now that Ben and Leona will be in the final. I prefer Leona personally and hopefully she'll sing a different kind next time which will make her chances of winning higher..

Leona has a good voice, but theres so many female solo artists with just good voices, the shows winner needs to give more then that, and Ben fits the bill perfectly.
