Lame Difference

X-Factor's over for another week and yet again I'm wondering just who is voting to keep Same Difference in the competition? I actually physically wince when I see their saccharine performances every week. I nearly brought up my dinner when they wheeled out the troupe of candle carrying kids this week. Unfortunately they were fake plastic candles, just in case they burned the place down...pity. Who is voting for this pair, and can a responsible adult please stop them from using the telephone!

In less nauseating news, I'm glad to see the back of Simon's very own Barbie collection, Hope. Not since the Spice Girls has there been such a whiff of animosity every time one girl gets an extra line to sing. None of these girls wanted to be in a band in the first place, and I'll take bets now as to whether they will still be talking in 6 months.

Predictably (and hopefully) I think the final will be 3 soloists - Rydian, Leon and Niki. Nicki's got the likeability factor, and she can belt them out. Leon's got the whiff of the underdog (and the Scottish vote), which leaves quirky Rhydian to suck up everything else and take the X Factor crown...whether it will fit over his ever growing quiff is another matter.

Is our prediction correct? Who do you want to see battle it out in the final?

    i dont want rydian to win as i not a fan. leon is ok but he really needs some better songs as i not into the @#$% he usually sings. niki to win i think but same difference are fun. it really would be a disaster to xfactor as a show if they won.

    I agree with you entirely. Who on earth keeps voting for the sickly brother and sister act. Rhydian, Leon and Niki must be the final three surely. Let's gid rid of the little boy and girl this week.

    Same Difference are not chart toppers, but they are good at what they do, and I'm sure Holiday camps will be seing a lot of them. Leon is getting better, but should have gone in the first week, and Rydian has a great voice, but he won't sell records, he would have one number one hit, and that would be it. He should do what he is good at, and he will work forever. Nicki's good, but not sure if she can keep it up, i hope so. Hope have gone, but they were singing the wrong songs, and the 16 year old should be signed up, and dump the rest

    I agree with you. Same difference are no more than party entertainers for six-year-olds who can sing reasonably well, they should of gone ages ago. Berverly should have have been in the final but i agree with your prediction anyway. I guess we all just thought she was safe. I don't know what simon is playing at when he actually says that Same Difference are good, danii and sharon too. Louis, i think might be the only sane person on the pannel.
