I think there are a fair few out there Eddy

Michelle to win.!

I said a long time ago that I thought Michelle will be this years Will to Sam's Gareth.

She'll definitely have a career out of this

She will have her moment along with the rest of them, I personaly dont think she has the spark that will keep her going for more than a couple of singles and an Album.

Her voice is just to weak for her demeaner...give her gospel training or some big ballsy songs and ok, but I cant see her doing anything other than a few rip off cover versions of stuff like I wanna dance with somebody...or something suitably 80's like that.

Sorry, I just dont think she is good enough

But are you suggesting that Sam (who I also enjoy listening to) or Mark (arrogant tuneless twit) can sing better than Michelle? She is miles ahead of them which ever you judge them.

PS - I was originally hoping Andy would win. The other lads were all weak. All the women in the final 12 were first class.

Andy was possibly the weakest male there. Its a shame the other brothers didnt do it as well Andy was always the weakest out of the three. Though think the other two may have been to old now.

Sam and Mark AND michelle all have weak vocals, but in my opinion, Mark and even Sam put a lot more quality into their singing. Michelle's tone never wavers, she does look like its the easiest thing in the world to her, but that isnt such a good thing, the boys look like they are giving it their all, she doesnt.
I know that might sound stupid, but when you are on stage you have to "show" that you are singing, you have to express the whole song, whether its the easiest thing in the world to sing or not. I just dont think she as much expression into her songs as the boys do.
As overall performer, its very tight between Sam and Mark in who is better, I personaly think Marks voice is a tad better and therfore gives him an edge.
Dont get me wrong I like michelle and I think she comes across as a lovely and bubbly girl, but as a performer, I think she needs training.

I like michelle and think she should win it but agree with you she does need the training she makes it look like shes not trying and though singing with ease is good you do need to look like you mean it - although she may not have a pop idol type career ahead of her she will make her way - trouble with sam and mark when compared to will and gareth they dont hold up - you just have to hear will's new albumn hes no 1 in both charts two years on with alot of it his own work and although sam and mark are ok there not better than those two

this years batch hasnt beed a patch on the last pop idol crowd, or even the rivals crowd

Sam will win , this year.
Cowell didn't get his way, last time.
The "pretty boy" teenager didn't win (Gareth)
..the talented vocalist did (Will)

.....neither have the ability for longevity....the tide is turning - the British public won't be fooled into spending money on rubbish, any longer.
Hence the dismal record sales, for recent Reality t.v acts.

Will is actually doing ok, his new Album is due to do very well, and if his next couple of singles do well he will be looking at a longer and better contract.

Gareth was due to win the show, but after the media exposed that it was already fixed they did a last minute swtich and made Will win.
If you listen to evergreen it was in Gareths key and was meant for him to sing. Even darius in an interview said that when the three of them went in to record the single, (all three recorded before the final so the single of whomeever could be released straight away) thet himself and Will struggled with it as it was all done to suit Gareths voice and not theirs.

Don't you think though that nowadays it isn't necessarily the best singers that are the best sellers.
People want either likeable or controverial.

very much so, as this years contest proves really, the good singers have been expelled in favor of the cheekiechappiness or teenagecuteboy look, or the Im a big woman and proud look.

There were good singers in the contest the public voted them off.

I would prefer talent anyday.

...ahhh - but therein, lies the rub.
Did "we" vote them off????
...i think not.
...much is made of fans not being able to get through on the phonelines,
to their faves......
i think it's a pre-determined carve up.

I think you need a bit of both
