I'm sure I read somewhere that it's rumoured she's topped the public vote every week so far.
Bejesus. Have people not got ears?

Probably due to the whole of Ireland voting for her, as happened with Jedwood
Actually, The Irish couldn't vote in Jedward's series due to phone competition regulations. Irish voting returned from last year. So I guess the rest of the Great British Public should take the blame for keeping them in...

To be honest, despite never having won, the groups have probably enjoyed the most success. G4 went massive until they split, and JLS are the hottest X Factor property now, followed by Jedward. >snigger<.
Journey South and Same Difference had briefer but successful careers too, certainly longer than say, Joe.
I actually thought Amelia sang really well on Saturday, probably one of the best performances of the series. She never should have been kicked off in the first place and I hope she goes on to win the whole thing.
Not even close to the best of the series. The verse started off well, it should have picked up and gone to another level for the chorus... but it didn't, it went completely flat and dull. Agreed that she shouldn't have been kicked off in week 1, but at that time Janet was still pulling the wool over people's eyes and fooling judges into thinking she could sing, Misha and Sophie gave decent performances too. One week's live performance wasn't enough to gauge a proper opinion. Likewise Jonjo unlucky to have a bad week there, and James Michael given the presence of X Factor's worst ever finalist, Frankie. 2Shoes were definitely the best of the groups, but a terrible song choice for week 1 and the amazing lipstick smear from hell didn't help their cause any. That and Tulisa didn't put them together like the rest of the groups. Oh, and the pregnancy.

Misha B is guaranteed a final spot and has been for weeks. They decided early on that she's marketable and have protected her throughout.
Whilst I think you may have a point, Tulisa and Louis surely would have known better than to tip the boat with their bullying/bitchiness comments a few weeks ago?
Craig is okay, nothing more, Marcus is really, really boring.
I disagree with that. They're the best singers in the competition.
Janet has fallen to pieces over the last few weeks but could perhaps have a decent album if she stuck firmly to ballads.
Ah, like Leona Lewis, then, a one trick pony.
Little Mix or whatever they are called are appalling as well. Another act they've decided can fill a spot in the market and earn Simon some cash. But how can you have a girl band when they can't sing collectively and are all minging? It doesn't work. Terrible performances every week from them, although to be fair they've got the worst possible mentor.
I said from the off the groups had no chance. Their Halloween performance was probably their best to date, but even that wasn't a show-stopper.

Yes, if you take away Kitty, Craig, Marcus and Misha.
The rest of them are mediocre at best, and the show in its present format may be killing itself off. I feel sorriest for Janet, who does actually have an interesting and different voice,
It would be interesting if she was 6 years old, but as it is, she's another Ellie Goulding, only crapper. Seriously, there isn't a redeeming quality about her voice at all.
