Do you imagine a final 3 consisting of Sam B, Nicholas, and Rough Copy from that year? People would've tuned out in their droves.

Ugh. Tell me about it, it was so blatantly obvious why the sing-off in the Semi-Final was brought in! (to ensure Rough Copy got to the final, just like in Series 7 with Cher.)

You know, I would love it if Ben goes this week. It's not likely to happen but it's obvious they want Andrea or Lauren out.

If one of Flen goes before Landrea then I'll crack up because they've been so unnaturally pushed ahead of them it's untrue.

Flen and Landrea!

[Mystic Mock]

I hope they don't make Lauren lose weight as she's not the skinniest of girls in the shows history, her figure is quite nice, especially the legs.

[Vanessa]

They have all done well to get this far and i'm sure they will all get picked up by labels. I love that the final four are different from each other. Good luck to them.

[Strictly Jake]

Nooooo!!!! Well of the two themes I hope they scrap the idols one! As I want to see unplugged!!!

[Vanessa]

What are they playing at? It's too late to change the theme!

[Mystic Mock]

They better not scrap Unplugged, Lauren would've been great on that and it would've exposed Fleur without all the gimmicks.

Then that's the theme that they're scrapping. She can't sing without the backing track.

It's ridiculous though as there's only been twice when she got exposed and that was when she did Bang Bang, and If I Ain't Got You.

No gimmicks at all with that, even her Alicia Keys on Saturday wasn't a gimmick performance, she was just stood on a platform.

Yes and Fleur sounded awful on that Alicia Keys track.

[girlfighter24]

I think its between Lauren and Andrea who goes out

[Mystic Mock]

I don't actually hate Ben, and unlike Fleur I do know that on a technical level his talented, but his comments are very minor criticisms, and I bet before all the derailing of Landrea that Ben was less popular than them.

Tbh with Ben his doing one of my favourite genres of Music, but most of his performances come off as so lifeless to me, I do wonder if it's because Simon wants him to keep posing all the time, and as I'm not one of the legions that worship his looks it kind of pisses me off because I expect Rockers to go either intense or barmy onstage, or hell a bit of both.

I think Ben has been in the top 4 voting every week.

I know he is supposed to be rock but I actually like Ben more when does performances like Thinking Out Loud and Jealous Guy

[Mystic Mock]

Ben puts me in the mind of Will Champlin who was on The Voice USA a couple of years ago, Rock, R&B, Blues, and Folk.

And an add-on for Ben that Will didn't have is Reggae I think, I would definitely think that they are his genres of Music that he can go down.

[Mystic Mock]

The genres that I think that all the acts could be good at out of the top 4.

Andrea Faustini - R&B, Pop, Soft Rock, Classical.

Ben Haenow - Rock, R&B, Reggae, Folk, Blues.

Fleur East - Hip-Hop, Pop, Reggae.

Lauren Platt - Pop, Indie, Reggae.
