I don't know how Chris takes so much shit from the media and the judges. Hope there is a campaign to get him and Rylan to the final. Both a joke but would serve the Xfactor right. I noticed that the USA version after the elimination shows the order people voted for the other acts. Little girl won this week and cowboy 2nd. If the public were aware that Ella was not getting many votes then she may well have been in the comp now
I don't think the 'People assuming shes safe so didn't vote' had as much to do with it as you would think to be quite honest. She wasn't the most diverse act, nor was she the most entertaining. Yes she could sing incredibly well, but in truth this gets a bit boring after a while and towards the end of her time in the X-factor she actually seemed quite arrogant which I'm sure defiantly cost her votes. (Obv she'll get a recording deal anyway).
On a side note i can't really see why everybody seems to hate Christopher and i can actually see him coming close to winning to be honest (but probably 2nd) - that's IF hes not in the bottom two in the semi-final, as if he is - hes 100% gone. I think for the songs he sings, he sings them incredibly well. Hes defiantly got the vote of the older generation - who although may not be the majority viewers - i feel will be the biggest voting demographic.
James Arthur is my favorite ever act on the X-factor (granted I've only ever watched this series - however i know a few acts from before) and by my reckoning his following is growing week by week. He's a likeable guy and sings a style which none of the remaining contestants are anywhere near, and therefore i feel he will have picked up followers from previous acts who sing similar styles - Rylan / MK1 / Jade Ellis / Lucy Spraggan (based on creativity)...etc, where as two of the other remaining contestants - being; Christopher and Jahmene, both sing similarish styles and are both vying for the 'sympathy vote', however as mentioned before Chris i feel will have the edge between the two acts as he has the majority vote of the older demographic and therefore i can see Jahmene coming 3rd behind Chris 2nd and James 1st (i have a chunk invested on james arthur to win @ 8/1 so c'mannnn!!).
Union J - Obv gonna be loved by little girls (little being the operative word - they probably wont be voting as much) and based on past experience of boybands within the competition - although they have gone on from the show to do well - they haven't been winning and i think this pretty much speaks for itself. There have been better boybands in the past who haven't won vs who i feel are weaker opposition, therefore i dont think these lads have that much of a chance and i can see them going out in 4th - this week i assume they'll be in the bottom two vs Jahmene.
Order i reckon acts will come
1st - James (Chris possibly)
2nd - Chris (James possibly)
3rd - Jahmene
4th - Union J
