Poll: Will Amelia Lily win The X Factor UK?

ChapStick

As anyone who regularly watches the X Factor UK knows, bad boy Frankie Cocozza was kicked out of the competition. Filling his place is 17-year-old Amelia Lily, who was originally booted from the competition during the first week of live shows (when each judge had to send one of their acts packing).

There was a lot of controversy behind Lily's exit as she already had a strong fanbase and was easily one of the best vocalists in the competition. However, with Frankie out she won a public vote and was called back two days before the live shows to deliver a showstopping performance of Queen's "The Show Must Go On" (see below).

Given her fanbase, her comeback story (who doesn't love a good comeback?), and her vocal prowess, do you think she has a chance at taking the crown?

it would be extremely unfair.

You think so? She won a public vote so it's clear the public wanted her back (after all, these shows are put on to garner public support, right?). Additionally, the other acts have had much more time to become comfortable with performing on the show. I'm not saying I disagree with you. Just curious why you feel it would be unfair.

Does she deserve to win? YES
Will she win? POSSIBLY

Is it fair how she got back in the competition?
Well here's my intake on the situation:
1) It's not really fair to the rest of the contestants who had to work week after week to stay in the competition.
2) But then again it's not fair for her that she hasn't had the same exposure the other contestants have had.

This is without a doubt the season of CONTROVERSY!

I agree! Another thing, Amelia was booted before ever even getting to face the public vote, but it's also a public vote that brought her back. :] It would have been boring if they'd just asked the last act eliminated to come back... because the public already didn't vote for them.

I thought Kelly Rowland made a mistake getting rid of her in the first place.

Could she win it? Strong chance.
Is it fair? Does it matter?
Has this year been a complete mess on X Factor? Definitely
