Default Here\'s to Hoping That Diana or Eoghan DON\'T win!

If they win this then X factor has officially just become a joke.

The only serious singer left, and any with a chance of a long career is Alex.

JLS could do well for a bit as there are not many boybands around at the moment.

Fingers crossed (and dialling the phone to vote). Lets pray Diana and Eoghan don't win, which is looking more and more possible. yay.

Alexandra is the only one with a chance of a long term career? Absolute crap.
If anything, she is the one least likely. We've seen it all before, she isn't going to be successfull :\
She's a poor mans Whitney, a bit like Aldi/Lidl/Netto

The thing with Alex is that if she wins I can see them taking her in a very boring 'Leona 2.1' direction. Alex could be the UK's answer to Beyonce but f she wins she'll end up a less successful version of Leona I fear.

Eoghan would flop after one album.

JLS would have one good album possibly but then disapear.

Diana's the only one I can see with a good career although like Alex she would be better without an X Factor contract.

What have we seen before? We've never seen a winner like Alexandra. We've seen singers like her in the competition before, but never a winner - I think your point's valid if you mean it in the context of the whole competition but not in terms of a winner.

I wouldn't mind either JLS, Alexandra or Diana winning anymore, just as long as Eoghan doesn't.

Obviously I'd prefer it if JLS did, but Alex is vocally the best contestant, the only problem I have is what Dezzy already said, she's too similar to Leona.

The main reason I'd like to see Diana win is to hear her recorded version of Halleluja, and as it's the winners song I don't think she'd ever release it (if she doesn't win). I don't think she will win now though, ever since she had the show off when she was sick she has been losing support and picking up more haters.

So yeah, I'm wanting a JLS/Alex/Diana final, so Eoghan to go on saturday.

If Diana wins ...I for one will round up the pack of Foxes outside of my house at night that squeal like dying pigs for an hour, and enter them as a girl group in nexts years auditions.

Hell even they will make Diana's "singing" look awful, and the foxes to my knowledge have not had ANY vocal coaching at all.

I think more people would buy diana's album if she was to win and bring one out.

think she may sell more even if she doesnt.

Diana is going to get a contract anyway, so saying let's pray she doesn't win is going to make her go away, lmao she is still going to get a contract, win or not! I think she will sell way more Albums then Leon has.

I think Alexandra would be a fantastic winner, she has the best vocal talent there. I've noticed a few of you have said that she wouldn't do any good because she is too similar to Leona. Leona has done brilliantly for herself and she is similar to lots of other female artists.

Diana and Eoghan are going to get a record contract anyway.

Leona and Alex are completey different, vocally Leona is miles better then Alex, but Alex can dance and sing. Both different, both very talented.

She's a poor mans Whitney, a bit like Aldi/Lidl/Netto
Alexandra is the only one that can be an international success. America love that type of performer.

JLS can have success in the UK.

Diana will have limited success because she isn't versatile.

Eoghan will just get nowhere if Same Difference's effort is anything to go by as Simon seems to be moulding Eoghan in the same way.

If Eoghan was someone else's artist then he would hate HATED him. He despises that sort of cheesy artist if they are not in his category. Anyway, how was a High School Musical song an American Classic?

Oh yeah Alex will, in fact Alex could be the UK virsion of Beyonce.

To be honest, I can see Alex, Diana, Laura, Austin and maybe Ruth being the only ones to have succes.

I'm not sure about Austin, although he is brilliant vocally I think he went out of the competition far too early for him to be signed. It all depends if Simon signs him to Sony BMG, other than that I can't see anyone else wanting him.
