Default X Factor - Alexandra New Favourite

Quote:
X Factor - Alexandra New Favourite
Bookies William Hill have slashed Alexandra Burke from 4/1 to 11/8 favourite to win the X Factor with Diana offered at 5/2, Eoghan 11/4 and JLS the outsiders at 5/1.

"After Alexandra's amazing performance on Saturday night she is the one to beat and we can no longer ignore the obvious comparison with Leona Lewis." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

The bookmakers' revised betting odds suggest that Dannii has been a mentor for the last time, offering 5/6 that Dannii will not line up as a judge in the X Factor 2009 series. You can get odds of 12/1 that Britney Spears will take her place.

"Dannii had a terrible set of finalists but she has looked alienated in the last few weeks and as we saw with Sharon, Simon can be very ruthless." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Thats doesn't say much, at the end of the day, I just don't think many people vote for her or love her.

I discounted the article when they gave 12/1 odds of Britney becoming an X Factor judge....

After he performance of "Listen" she deserves to be in finale, along with Diana.
And at 12/1 on Britney to take Dannii's place, I really doubt it, more like 200/1.

i cant believe this. alexandra the winner. you got to be kidding. there is a significant difference between being able to sing a song well and having the x factor. if you cant work that out you must be deluded. the whole idea of the show is to find someone who stands out above the rest. diana does exactly that and the reasons are obvious.

Alexandra HAS the x factor. Diana is good, but now shes boring because its the same thing week after week. Alexandra is versatile and can put on a show. Diana struggles to screech her way through a song these days.

Alexandra is boring
The irony of that coming from someone who supports the even more boring Diana

Yes, she can't hold a note
then in your opinion. she should have never reached past the first audition. accusing diana of not being able to hold a note is ridiculous. many of those who went out in the early part of the show could hold a note. why then did diana stay and they go? obviously the judges and the home voters see something that you dont. she will win. that will happen.

each singer cannot change. diana and alexandra are what they are. both have the ability to sing and perform in front of a large audience. but alexandra lacks style and grace. she is not as attractive as diana nor does she stand out like diana. alexandra has a good voice. but not the x factor. diana shall triumph. i would say that alexandra will come third.

Because she looks sweet and innocent. She has these lovely eyes that are almost hypnotic which gives her a sort presence. There is something about her that just makes you want to pick her up and surround her in cotton wool.

That's what made people like her and her strange little funny voice.... and once your liked people just vote for their favorite no matter how rubbish they are. You see it in threads on TiBB.

She is the real John Sergeant of the X-Factor.

Alexandra has proven she can perform in different styles, she is adaptable and her performances are distinguished from one another. Diana's all merge into one, shes stuck to one genre throughout (bar disco week) and its very sameish. Diana will not win. She will come second.

where did i say that alexandra cant hold a note? i never even brought that up. all i did do is point out that singers in those early auditions which never made it through had the ability to hold a note. not all of them naturally. and im not talking about the silly auditions. im talking about the next round.

I'm just showing that what you're saying can easily be turned right around on you, and if you say Alex shouldn't have made it past the first audition then that means you think she can't hold a note, because if she did then you'd think she would deserve to go through.

Funny how you change your mind about what you're talking about when its turned around.
