Thanks. I bought Jacks song there and I'm so glad it doesn't have audience screams at the end like they did in last years iTunes songs.

Fleur.
She gives UK Ciara vibes. Almost like a Ci, meets Cheryl, just with better vocals lol. She hit the jack-pot being in Simon's category too, as he;s the one who's label signs folk. He keeps saying country needs someone like her and how much of a pleasure she is to work with. If she plays her cards right and survives until at least the latter part of the show, wherever she ends up, she'll get signed. Hopefully.
Stereo Kicks too. But I struggle to see how their whole setup will work. Group should bin at least 3 if not four members. There's just to many of them and their ages are far too broad for their angle to make sense (youngest 14 - oldest 19 or 20). Plus, it's gonna hurt splitting that check (which obviously won't be for songwriting lol) EIGHT ways!

Her voice is also slightly Alicia so it's a really good combination she has going for her.

Flop?
You should re-check your fact. Andrea is the current favorite to win. He was second on Itunes last week. And he was the most watched act on YouTube during Bootcamp/Judges House/Live show 1 stages. If that's a 'Flop', I wonder what should we call Stephanie Nala then?

Bahah I won't, I do not like him he gets on my nerves but I'm not gonna pretend he's not the best singer in there. And I know how the british people vote I mean Sam B won last year  and the year before Jhemene or whatever his name was was #2 and in 2011 Marcus Canty or whatever his name was went all the way to #2 as well. Where are they now?  I get the same vibes from Andrea not to be rude but I really don't see him going anywhere after the show. What's he gonna sing? ballads? unless he pulls a Susan Boyle(they're really similar  )

So far I really like Fleur, Lauren, Andrew, Lola, Chloe, Jack, Only The Young and Ben. I'm on the fence with Jay, Stereo Kicks, Jake & Paul. I want to like Steph but her voice is so weak. She used to be so good in BGT. Maybe she belongs to a group instead of a solo artist.
Stevie can GTFO

I dare anyone to tell me that he will have a career outside of this show. How many bland male winners with basic voices do we need before y'all realise that nobody is checking for that anymore.
Olly Murs is the most successful solo male from the X Factor not because of his voice, it's because of his personality and stage presence.
Andrea is an imitation of 90s female powerhouse singers (who frankly can't seem to get a hit themselves nowadays, so how will a cheap imitation fare?)

Even Susan Boyle is struggling nowadays 
Out of the guys the person with the strongest chance has to be Ben, he's got that likable personality, he's shown he can ACTUALLY perform (Six chair challenge), and his voice is great too.
Jake has to be the worst, all he's ever done is ballads and even then he's mediocre with them, he comes across as self absorbed and annoying. Basically the only reason people are still checking him out is because he's bangable.

My favourites right now would be; Fleur, Lauren, Only the Young, Ben and Chloe has to be the largest amount of favourites I've had on X Factor, last year I had none

Steph has what Andrea lacks: star quality. Andrea might be the best singer but who's gonna buy his music sis? Grandmas? As I said unless he pulls a Susan Boyle he's not going far. He's dated, not marketable nor current at all. You need more more than a powerful voice to make it in the industry especially after winning the X Factor and being signed by Simon's label Syco lol they don't play around they'll drop you off in a heartbeat: See Matt Cardle, James Arthur who had hits and then boom they were disposable I doubt Andrea can get a hit like those two did. Sam B sold good and I doubt Simon will keep her becuase she's not marketable enough.

LOL yeah but she did great and sold millions of records with her first two albums I dont know how but she did
Ben is such a star and he's really good looking I'm glad Simon got the overs. I mean compare his choices(great choices, current, young enough and marketable) with Louie(older, jokes, no one took them seriously, dated af). Louie might be "funny" but the really ruins the acts he gets because his mentality is so dated and old LOL.
I love Jake( I think is more because of his **flawless looks) but he really needs to step it up or he'll be the first boy to go home.

I know right!! I love Chloe, Steph, Lauren, Ben, Fleur( ALWAYS hated the over and I always wanted them to go home before anyone else but not this year besides Stevie  ), Jack, OTY. Last year I only liked Tamera but not even liking her was enough for me to sit and watch the live shows they felt so dated and boring.

I can't WAIT for Jake to be sent home. Something about him doesn't sit well with me...

Andrea is only 20 years old. Unlike Matt Cardle & James Arthur, he is so likeable. If Mel B mentor him properly (good song choices/trim his beard), I can see him as a relevant artist. I mean who thought Sam Smith is going to be so big this year. And he sings mostly ballad. I can see Andrea in the same lane as Adele, Sam Smith, Ella Henderson, Paloma Faith. You still can build your star quality but great vocal.. Nope. And please Steph didn't have star quality at all. She was like just there. No impact at all. And don't let me touch on her thin voice.

Sam has a current feel to him and his songs have current production and hes was on the smash Latch(fresh, current) before he took off. I don't see Andrea pulling that off. The fact that he's 20 and his style is so dated is even worse he's so damn young. All the ones you mentioned have something about them that makes them current I don't think Andrea does... Hmm thin voice people say the same thing about Britney, Katy, Cheryl and several other girls and look at them. BUT only time will tell I respect your opinion tho

Did y'all see his face while he was getting judge's feedback? he looked like he wanted to go beat them up I think he might be a little cocky/has a big ego. Sadly, I don't think he'll last long I think I like Jack better now.

BTW did the good sis Hello_World provide us with an analysis of the live shows?

I don't really care about who will be successful after the show. New Boy Band are obviously more ~marketable~ and have more potential to sell records in the long run than someone like Andrea, but there is no way in hell I would rather see them win.
People are doing a bit too much on Andrea and Paul though. Vocally they could both be compared to Sam Smith or John Newman, who are currently two of the most successful solo males in the UK. Just because they're not twinks have don't have obnoxious personalities doesn't mean they can't sell.

Eww @ twinks and obnoxious That combination gets on my nerves. Jack, Jake, Ben and Jay are far from twinks and obnoxious and they could have a career after the show. I'm not saying Andrea won't but I don't really see it for him after the show.

I agree that Paul has a slight chance of having a career and is similar to the artists you mention but I'm sorry Andrea really doesn't
