I'm not sure, think it has something to do with complying to Ofcom regulations

Until this year I thought it was something to do with them being live recordings, but because the singles are studio now, I agree.


I'm hoping uptown funk has just won Fleur the season. I want her to release a winner single. Most deserving winner since Alexandra

She needs a solid celebrity duet and she's all but guaranteed a shot at it. not here for Andrea and Ben getting Ed and Sam, and Fleur getting Meaghan.

I hope Andrea doesn't win. I can't take a GUY who is named ANDREA seriously.

Not to mention they already have a similar winner in Joe in terms of as an artist. Fleur or Ben would be atleast different for the show.

This is coming from a guy named MusicLoverDude and has artists like Austin Mahone and Ashley Tisdale in his sig?

I stan vocals so I ride hard for King Faustini.

Lauren

Fleur to win at least she actually has a shot at a career unlike the other two who will be D.O.A.
Ben is a Jeff Gutt tea...do they really think a rock soloist will have any sort of chart success

[MissedTheTrain]

I think Andrea is by far the best singer in the competition. Not sure at all what kind of music he will do after the show...maybe Michael Buble kinda stuff?

Fleur is SUCH a great performer and she was amazing with Uptown Funk. I just find her voice to be kinda subpar Maybe some lessons would help.

I wasn't a huge fan of Ben at first, he's got a really distinct kinda voice, but he has really grown on me. I actually loved his version of Hallelujah.

I'm glad Lauren left at this point. She's likable but her voice is very average, I don't think she's capable of a ton more than she's shown at this point in time. She's so young though and has so much room to improve and grow.

[Vignesh]

Backed Fleur and Ben since the series started so am glad they've both made the finals. It's really between these two, although I'm leaning more towards Fleur East coz she's such a star!! And the X Factor machine could do with an all rounder winner!

Not here for that Italian teddybear at all.

[Bounce]

Andrea's voice is AMAZING but I can't stand watching him perform

Fleur shouldn't try and sing louder than her range she slayed the performance tho

I wished Lauren stayed instead of Ben

GORL.

It's clear that he wants to be the next Mariah Carey.

I read somewhere that Simon said he didn't like the idea of contestants' singles charting as it could give the game away in terms of popularity.

Fleur got to #1 on iKoons ffs, hardly rocket science.

Lauren getting punched out

Fleur winning would be good for the show, but in terms of her career maybe coming second would be better. The duet mess..

[Starkboy]

I'm so happy for both Fleur and Ben! Fleur needs to win, after that Uptown Funk performance (the best of the series) she needs to! She's probably singing Lips Are Movin next week with Meghan herself!

Oh and Andrea. #3 please.

[Apocalipstick]

Fleur's Uptown Funk performance was the moment X Factor became relevant again

Very interesting and accurate article about how the themes have been the biggest issue with the show this year.

[Apocalipstick]

The Uptown Funk performance is featured on YouTube's homepage

She could get to 1 million views today!

Fleur will win this

She's serving Alexandra's tea so far (except for the vocal)

But seriously am I the only one LOVES her vocal, her tone is everything and that rasp worked so well in Uptown Funk. Her range may not be everything but her tone makes up for it. Plus Ben isn't that great a vocalist either, they're pretty even. Andrea is the biggest vocalist but he oversings all the time.

I still think Ben has a shot and if he does get someone like Ed Sheeran on the night then that will just help him even more.

Fleur should win!

Ben for 2nd place!
