Yeah.. he's a perfect example of what James is talking about actually. I liked him in the audition stage and just went off him every week as he got cockier

The thing is,

X Factor 2008 had the best contestants ever.
It was the last year the show a was about talent and none of these wacky contestants like Wagner [As much as I adore him] and Jedward.


I mean anyone from X Factor 5 could of won, and a few of them were better than Alexandra, it's a shame she won

Who was that lady in Rhydian's year who was a caterer or something and she sang the Titantic song and thought she was the bees knees? She used to pull stupid faces everytime the judge's slagged her.

But the head on her when she was criticised. Used to drive me nuts.

Yeah Nikki. She was a good singer.

She should have made the final. Instead of Leon!

She also said in the papers "an over 25 woman will NOT win The X Factor".

I think this year.. Mary has a chance though!

Nikki?? I can't remember her at all?!

I don't think Mary will win this year, but I do think she'll be in the top 3

Youtube video

That's Nikki. Good but not great voice. But yeah, she looked like she'd sucked on a lemon everytime someone had something bad to say about her.

Boooooooo! A waste!!!! lol

Oh I remember her now! I think I liked her.. Can't remember actually.

What was the name of the disabled, blonde woman? (can't remember which year)

Kerry! I am thinking what year.. ermmmm? She was on okay singer.

[Stacey.]

Alex Burke. Her attitude is ugh.

Olly Murs did actually too..

[Zippy]

I expect Mary to be there at the end because she's doing safe standards that can't really go far wrong and will be enjoyed by the older viewers. She doesnt have much competition when it comes to older viewer voters.

[setanta]

Ah Zippy, you're doing her a disservice. I would hope that her great vocals and genuinely humble demeanour will win over people of all ages.

That's the one!

I had something interestin to say about her, but I can' remember what

I know who it was that told me said interesting fact, so I'll just have to wait until I see him...

Guess this is the end of this conversation. Hahahahahaaaaa

She's got a belter of a voice, no? She actually gives me the shivers, she's so good. I agree, she's not a streotypical popstar, but as far as being able to sing, the woman's got it.

I can see her in Chicago... can't remember the characters name.. (anyone help?) I think she'ss have a great career after this.. maybe not in the pop charts (which, lets face it, are pretty **** anyway) but she'll do well

No. I respect her powerful voice but when she said tonight that she just wants to do the standard well known numbers it just made me realise that she has nothing new to bring to music.

She'll be happy just to do cover versions forever more. I dont think the winner should have such a limited outlook. She has no musical ambition artistically or performance wise. Just wants to belt out the classics to a bigger audience and make more money for it.

And she doesnt have any Xfactor about her. Her big voice is her very obvious asset.

I can honestly see where you're coming from but I still think she could make money and sell records. Look at Susan Boyle, and she doesn't have half the character that Mary has.

Are you also a bit more biased because she is Irish James?

Absolutely not cuz I didn't watch any of the series up until the judge's houses and I didn't think she deserved to get through based on her performance. But yeah, she's blown me away during the live shows.

[Jords]

I never saw Alexandra as cocky........

[Vicky.]

Cher IS getting cocky. But there is a huge difference between cockiness and confidence.

Last year people said Danyl was cocky...I dont think he was at all. He was confident...and yeah he had a bit of an attitude WHEN ON STAGE, but that was it. Neither did I think Alexandra was cocky.

With Cher is is constant better than you attitude.

Mind you, she seemed to be pretty much the same in her first audition. Little miss spoilt princess
