I think it's between Kandy Rain, Miss Frank and one of the Boys. Kandy Rain aren't particularly likeable and girls won't like them most likely. Miss Frank are more likeable but are so hit and miss that they could end up under performing on Saturday. Plus both are girlbands which have a history of not doing well.

The boys are all so similar and the that they could suffer the Scott syndrome where they provide a average performance and people just aren't bothered. I reckon Ricki is most in danger as Joe can get the mothers vote and Lloyd will get the teenage girls.

I think Joe, Kandy Rain, Miss Frank and Olly are all at risk for week 1.

[setanta]

Joseph wont be at risk at all. I'd say it'll be Kandy Rain and John and Edward at the bottom.

[setanta]

And yes, you're right, maybe one of Cheryl's boys cuz they're all so similar.... Rikki.

[Tom]

Kandy Rain and Rachel will be in the bottom 2

[Novo]

No chance off Olly going

Rachel. Are you having a laugh? She's a class act. I'd say she'll put on one of the best performances of the opening night.

But in the opening weeks the ones who get the most votes are the ones featured heavily throughout previous episodes. Rachel hasn't been on that much. Talent doesn't equal votes, just look at series 3 with Dionne to see that. One of the strongest vocalists they've ever had but she ended up in the bottom 2 in week 1.

[setanta]

Yeah, Dionne was very good and I do agree that they favour certain contestants in the editing but I'd say people are more tuned in to all the manipulation that goes on.... well I hope so.

What I admire about Rachel is that there's no sob story and she just gets on with it. I feel she'll connect more with the audience than Dionne because she's just a natural performer and better singer in the lower register. Dionne struggled with the lower notes.

As always though, it depends on the song choice and how they choose to present her.

[Tom4784]

A group, Hopefully the terror twins, I think Rikki and Kandy Rain will be at risk as well.

[Princess]

I'm hoping John and Edward,I really really don't see who will vote for them,especially since stupid patriotic Irish people can't vote,thank feck for that!

John and Edward are the ONLY irish ones! They will get the irish vote and even people who are not from ireland like me will vote for them. I am still going to vote for them but they wont be in the bottom 2.

Might be Kandy Rain and god knows who else..

it is quite exciting.

Ireland cant vote? Can Northern Ireland still vote?

[Niamh.]

I'm Irish, Beast and I WILL NOT be voting for them every other Irish person I've spoken to hates them as well and will NOT be voting for them!! They're an embarresment to us!!

Lol. Oh.. Well there is me and a few others on this forum that I know like him. I will still be voting for them. Maybe some kids will like them 2. We will know once it is the 1st live show. Some of them could have changed or a favourite may not sound "as good" as they did. Its about how they will come across. They know that we now know they are the final 12.. so they will all read through the press and try and turn things to their own advantage and learn what to do once the live shows start!

[Niamh.]

I can see it already, after every performance Simon will rip them apart and Louis will defend themm blah blah blah.... I wouldn't be surprised if after one time being in the bottom 2, Simon will out of no where save them. We're here every year, last year it was Daniel.

I HATE when people assume that any Scottish or Irish acts will have the undying support from the nation - it doesn't work like that. The hometown/surrounding area of where an act originates from might support them; but not an entire nation!!!

Yeah I know not an entire nation will support them, but there will still be support! I think John and Edward are different and also I think they might get quite a few children's votes as well. They are also quite adorable in a bizzare way lol

No, that grin drove me to distraction and he couldn't sing. But yes, he looks like a master in comparison to those two. You just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all now.... better for the soul.
