[Lewis.]

Maybe a little early but get your predictions in.

[MusicXian]

I really want Janet to win so will say her for now.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Craig will win I think

But I want Queen Sophie to win

[Kerry]

The Risk

[Tom4784]

Janet's got it in the bag I think, I can see her pulling Matt Cardle and topping the votes every week. If Janet doesn't win then it'll be Misha I think.

I'll just put it this way, Kelly will be the winning judge. The only boy that will go far is Frankie and he'll come 4th/5th at best while Craig will be this year's Paige and Marcus won't create much of an impression. If Kelly doesn't win then Tulisa will with the Risk.

[Black Dagger]

The people I had down as potential finalists were robbed by the ****test twist ever.

I'l go with a Janet victory... The Risk, Misha and Frankie close behind.

[Locke.]

5th- Misha/Sophie
4th- Frankie
----
3rd- Janet
2nd- The Risk
1st- Marcus

I think Marcus will win because he's a really likeable guy aswell as having one of the best voices, it just didn't get showed off as much last night because of the song choice.

[Tom4784]

Marcus will be the first boy to go I think, I'm betting that he'll be out in the third/fourth week.

[Beastie]

Sophie.

[Visage]

On what I have seen so far I would love to see Janet win, but I think this is the year of the groups and Tulisa will take The Risk and those together will collect that winner's song...



5th Craig
4th Frankie
3rd Misha
2nd Janet
1st The Risk

[Kerry]

I've just got a really strong feeling a group will actually do it this year. But I think mainly due to the "Tulisa" factor tbh

[AndyEssex1]

I don't really see anyone getting much more than a cruise ship contract this year, apart from the winner.

I definitely go along with the fact that the public will vote for Tulisa, so I think a group victory this year. Too much of "a group has never done it" etc etc already, and Tulisa seems popular so I think a group will win an Janet will get 2nd, and with that, an album deal. Janet will probably sell as many copies as Diana Vickers' CD (170,000) and then get dropped like they all do.

The overall standard this year is very poor. Louie is now 100% focused on finding a novelty act since he won with Shane.

When I listen to Tulisa on the judging panel, she seems to have completely sold herself out from the N Dubz urban girl. She may claim to still be the "fiesty one" but she's a glamour queen now.

[Marc]

I'm hoping for a very spectacular rise for Sophie.

However I believe Craig will win. Really really really hope Janet doesn't win; she'll fit perfectly into the 'boring' X Factor winner cliche, I wouldn't mind if Misha B won as she'd be different but it wont happen!

[Jordan.]

The fat biscuit boy then he'll flop.

Misha or Janet should win.

[Marc]

I'm surprised..

[Kaaarenn!]

I think Craig or Janet will but not sure who I want to win out of them all so far. I really liked James but he's gone now so I need to find a new favourite.

[Doogle]

If Misha wins I will laugh when she flops

[Joelle.]

The Risk will be in the final 3 probably, maybe runners up, but I doubt they'll win.

Sophie will go under the radar to start with a late surge towards the end, unless people are really bitter about her staying over Amelia.

Janet has pretty much got it in the bag I think.

2nd Craig

5th Misha

[Jack_]

I think it's between Marcus, Craig and Janet myself.

[Billy]

Misha has zero chance. She's not likable and the public wont vote for her to win, same with Kitty.

I think Janet is gonna do exactly what Diana did, and that's crash and burn around semi finals. Rhythmix are gonna do better than expected I think, probably make it to the final five or six, with Nu Vibe out the first few weeks. Craig is this years Paije definitely and won't be there long.

I think Sophie or Marcus will win.

[Lewis.]

As much as I like Janet, her voice isn't something that eventually goes on to win a show like the X Factor. If you look back at all the winners over the series they are just ordinary singers, most of them with big voices and no other attributes or originality that Janet has to her voice. Vocally she's probably one of the weakest this year because if you look back through all of her performances there are no signs that she can hold a note for very long and her voice is a bit all over the place sometimes but she gets away with it because of how she uses it. She'll stay around until the semi-final because people like originality to do well, just not win.

Misha is going to do well I think, I just hope she can come across as a little bit more likeable. I don't think the styling does much help, it makes her look very sharp. Would like to see her do a simple ballad one week with just a lovely dark blue dress on and her hair down, she'd pick up a lot of support. But don't stop the rapping because that's the best bit of her performances - she's so good.

I adore Sophie and I love the fact that she's literally come from nowhere to be on the live shows. It can either go two ways with her, she'll either go really early in the first few weeks or she will be in the final. Her voice is very unique and original, but she has an added advantage as she knows how to use it to her advantage and technically she is also very good. It sounds silly but I don't think that her fringe does her any favours, she'll do a lot better if they tone down her styling and make her out to be the 'raw' talent of this year with a 'homegrown' styling to go along with it. Absolutely love her and hope she does well.

I think that The Risk will definitely be in the final 3 this year but they wont win, having a group sing an emotional song is not as personal as having a soloist singing a very personal song and that's the problems where the groups are concerned, you could have 5 amazing flawless singers in a group but when it comes to the final 2/3, people will favour those that have done it alone as they feel more of a connection.

I can't see NuVibe doing very well this year as I think The Risk are better than them and will eventually win all of the teenie votes. It's a shame really because they look like a very good boyband and there is one guy in there that has a really great voice and I don't know why he isn't a soloist this year. Their judges house performance was amazing so I think they need to tone it down again and do something very simple just to show that they are good without all of the loud music and theatrics that we saw on Saturday.

Rythmix are my favourite group this year, especially that girl with the half shaved head. What they did on Saturday is definitely the style that they should stick with as it seperates them from any other girl group we have ever seen on this show. I'm glad they got Tulisa because I think she's probably got a very good knowledge of the R+B/Hiphop market and will know exactly what to do with them to get them as far as possible. I don't think they will win but would love to see them do well.

Kitty will struggle to pick up the votes I think but the judges will keep her in for a few weeks. She'll probably got around week 3/4.

Johnny too will struggle to pick up the votes and I can see him going in the next couple of weeks. It's a shame because he does actually have a good voice but he's a bit too different that he's being seen as a 'joke' act. The song choice on Saturday didn't help.

Sami will come out top with the overs if she can keep up those good vocals we saw on Saturday. I think she'll probably be 7/6th this year. I have nothing much to really say about the overs but I don't think Louis has a win this year.

Marcus will be similar to Sophie I think, he'll either go in the next few weeks or be in the final. He reminds me of Alexandra Burke in a way, no real sob story, just a very good voice that needs no theatrics to show off.

Frankie will be out in week 5 I think, his charm will have worn off by then and the public wont want him there. He'll do well outside of the X Factor though I think.

Craig will do well and I think he'll probably be in the final or come about 6th/7th. I just fear for him when he eventually has to do a fast song as I don't know how his voice will cope and he'll definitely struggle. Could prove me wrong though, Paige had a similar voice last year and his best performance was a fast song!

Winners predictions: Sophie, Marcus, Craig or The Risk.
