As above really

This year I am loving Matt and Aiden but I kind of hope they will come in 2nd and 3rd with someone else becoming Simon Cowell's tired old pop puppet

Why? Well, Aiden and Matt, I dont believe, would wish to record the type of 'pop' that Simon Cowell and company would force them to. I feel that their individuality would be compromised by winning and that they stand a much better chance of being successful if they could get themselves signed elsewhere to embrace who they are, what they want to do and have more creative input into their music. X Factor and public support have given them a great showcase

I like Rebecca's voice and would love to listen to a bluesy album by her (again, dont think she would get this as a show winner)

Unfortunately the winners have to tow the line for at least 1 year (or until their 1st album has bombed or done well) and I just cannot see how Simon Cowell and co. would deal with an artist who maybe sits outside of the 'pop' market
