I just don't see James as voter friendly GB.
Kye's voice will be found out in the lives, which doesn't leave you many other choices.
Jahmene an annoying fooker, but he can sing when he controls his nerves and when he does fook up he'll get the sympathy vote.
Melanie a very solid singer.

Can only c one winner, just can't see Gary having no one in final , hence I think kye.  can't have carolynne or mel personally.

James by default over the other 2 boys,and just think James will go on a bigger journey than kye.

Was tempted to chuck times red in there , but not convinced  they qualify against shaky , even though I've got a few quid on them at 100-1

You'd have thought so.  Both look sure to be popular with the 1D generation.  But do we really need another?  Just think the whole boy band thing could run out of steam towards the end - 3rd at best.

The Ella failure I can accept, but naming Kye as a top three prediction is unforgivable! Cry  He was ditched straight after the first live show!  Terrible...

At least I got the UJ finishing position right, but surprised I didn't have Jahmene in Top 3 (this of course is before the back story was revealed... that's my excuse anyway!).

So basing it on the above prediction, I'd better back James to win now then! Wink
