and I can't exactly see many 16-24 year olds with Rhydian on their iPod, likewise with Same Difference. I think the reason Leon won last year was because he was the last one left who most of the audience could see themselves listening to, which if his sales are anything to go by means nothing.


Is it wrong to admit that I fall into that category (aged 20) and have both Rhydian and Same Difference on my mp3 player? I hated Leon from the outset though last year.

As for this year, it's pretty obvious that Alex should be the winner as she is the most talented of the finalists, but I kind of don't want her to win, as it'll just be similar to Leona winning. It really wouldn't suprise me to see Eoghan winning.

It's certainly been a strange year for voting though, as at the beginning of the series I predicted the following to make it to the semi-final:
Austin, Laura, Ruth and Diana, and none made it.
Perhaps I should just keep schtum in future as all the years I've been watching Pop Idol/X Factor shows the only time my favourite won was when Leona did.

My predictions in the past being...

Sam Nixon - PI2
Tabby - XF 1
Andy/Chico/Journey South - XF 2
Leona/Ben - XF 3
Rhydian/Same Difference - XF 4


Its not wrong to admit it at all- just on the whole I wouldn't expect many people in that age group to listen to either.

So this morning JLS seemed to be back in the running with the news they'd duet with Rhianna, while Eoghan got stuck with Boyzone and Alex got stuck with Westlife.

However, now Beyonce is back in the picture to duet with Alex, while Rhianna has dropped out leaving JLS stuck with Westlife to form a super boy bland!

My Predictions

3rd Eoghan
2nd JLS
1st Alexandra

Think we'll see JLS Signed up for a record contract. Although i doubt the rest of the Finalists from the live shows will get anything. Maybe Diana Vickers at a push..

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if Eoghan won it.

Well theres all be suprises in this years X Factor, However the only upset I Can see on the Cards would be JLS.

Eoghan has been in the bottom two twice more recently than any of the other finalists and the reason I reckon he's in the final and someone did touch on this too is that hes mentored by the one and only Simon Cowell

Eoghan has never been in the bottom two. The last few weeks there hasn't been a bottom two, they stopped that about three weeks ago.

Patterns suggest that the last person through is in the bottom 2, or the bottom 3 (when they did the sing off).

Louis said on Irish radio today that the duets are now:

Alexandra: Beyonce
JLS: Westlife
Eoghan: Boyzone

Bit of a let down to be honest, no big surprises to be honest.

As of 12/12/08

Jeff Brazier? Must have been booked by Michael Underwood's agent to make him look better

Alexandra's first song was amazing, it would be a lot better than the winners song

Bongo
Did X-factor use to have votes by text?

Also Alexandra has been made to look like Leona.
