Remember Cheryl said with Jess Glynne in the Judges house...by week 3 or week 4, people would get tire of 4th Impact singing ballad after ballad (due to their Rihanna performance)..thats why in these first few weeks shes bringing out the uptempo numbers and so shes obviously saving the ballads, knowing that the girls forte are their tight harmonies. I just hope its not too late..for 4th Impact

They only have a minute or two each week in the films to try and show off 4 personalities, who aren't familiar with our culture, society or native speakers, I think you're heavily underestimating them.

Hmm... I don't know with 4th Impact, there is something missing with them. Little Mix in their season showcased their personalities every week. 4th Impact just blend into each other. I have to give them props for being a foreign act and working hard every week tho.

I think it's just because they're foreign, they're being so polite and somewhat quiet, they seem very humble and grateful. I think they just need a bit of time to open up. It's probably a very overwhelming experience for them, they're already at a disadvantage.

4th Impact are my faves but I know they wont win so in a perfect world the top 3 would be Louisa, Lauren and 4th Impact with Lauren winning and Louisa and 4thI getting singed. I'd love to see Louisa winning as well but she will get singed anyway and the same won't happen to Lauren

I don't understand this argument. I don't really know the girls of 4I individually, which is which or anything about them, but same goes for Reggie and Bollie. I don't know which on is R, which one is B, or anything about them. I know one of them has a child but I don't know which one.

I'm guessing Bottom 2 will be 4th Impact vs Anton, or possibly Lauren  Even Louisa or Che could be there in a ~shocker. R&B were probably 1st in votes this week

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS at Mason leaving!!! FINALLY! Good riddance! Hated everything about him.
Finally people are starting to see what I dislike about 4th Impact. So so bland. And also their pronunciation when they sing... It's never been clear right?
One more thing I'l say is that I know I'm a lil late but I'm starting to really like Reggie & Bollie.... You can tell they are genuinely nice guys and I only want the best for them.
For me, at this point, I'd want to see Lauren and Louisa go head to head in the finals! Both did incredible last night!

Lauren can not be in bottom 2, she was amazing. Everyone gives her slack for vocals, but in reality she is as good as Louisa, and at least Lauren shows emotions, and you can see how happy she is when she sings, she literally slayed yesterday, by just standing, and smiling.
And of course Louisa has an amazing voice, but she does not offer that emotion, that I want, she just like screams the song out, and does not relate to it at all.

Simon is pushing 4th Impact to their limits. Testing their talents and abilities as complete performers. He wants to see more of them girls do their stuff on stage because he can see 4th Impact as international stars already. Their performance last night wasn't as explosive as last weeks I gotta admit, when they performed 'Work It Out' practically raising the forgotten song from the grave. Simon can see that these girls are practically gold mines and he knows that signing them up would be a pretty good investment since they already have a lot of followers not just in UK but around the world, Let's admit it there's no other act on X Factor UK 2015 that can actually sing, rap and dance like them. All the other acts are just doing the same thing every week and it has become boring with them singing, standing literally on stage and belting out tunes. They are also very intriguing when it comes to their personal lives and are good role models for the young. In my own humble opinion 4th Impact are runaway winners and the votes will prove this at the end of the show.

Yeh. But they are asian and half of the members are not even conventionally pretty so they wont win. And even after the competition, they might not be marketable.
Despite their being a constant brass theme through out their live performances it's still hard to predict what their sound will be. Fleur already has her finger on brass. By late 2016 it's likely that the genre would have already worn thin.
Granted 4I give great performances with great vocals, do they really sound like recording artists? I don't think they do.

This is such a lie. Lousia sings with 10x as much passion.
Lauren can not stay on key and she doesn't even follow her notes through, making her no better than a karaoke act. How the hell does she have more emotion with that lack of commitment?

Well, everyone has a different opinion. Of course I love Louisa, but I just think that Lauren shows more emotions.
And she is not a karaoke act, maybe her perfomance of "I am Every Women" was a bit karoake, but yesterday she was great. Show me a karaoke singer, than can sing Mariahs song like that.

4th Impact & Lauren will be in the bottom two.
I think they'll eventually go to deadlock which will result in 4th Impact leaving.

Reggie n bollie could still be bottom 2 tonight, I feel the only person I'm certain is safe tonight is prob louisa, everyone else I could see as a combination in the bottom 2

Lauren is so basic, she literally brings nothing to the songs she sings.

You can't say 4th Impact has to overcome being foreign when comparing them to Reggie n Bollie when they are from Ghana

Reggie would be a one hit wonder at best. They can only do one type of song. They could probably have some £1 Fish type of notoriety but they'd never impact outside the UK, have any credibility or longevity. Having them win would seriously damage an already dying X Factor brand.
|
Not £1 Fish 
I don't think they will win, but it's obvious they could have a career and not just be a one hit wonder. They're like the perfect mix of LMFAO (5 top 40 hits in the UK) and Shaggy (15 top 40 hits in the UK).

Like what sis? 
She didn't even sing the song in the original key. She brought it down 2 or 3 semitones and STILL struggled. She really has no excuse, it's not like she was dancing, she just stood there and was still a pitchy mess
