has it ever happened that someone has been favorite from start to finish and gone on and won ?

can he really keep this up for another 8 weeks ?

he is genuinely head and shoulders above the others so its him and one direction in the final

I've backed him.  Wouldn't quite say he was 'head and shoulders above the others' but don't see why he can't keep it up.  He's obviously a good singer so why should that change.  Suddenly sings awfully one week?  I don't think so.

Don't think a favourite has ever lead from start to finish before but it will have to happen one day so who knows?

I wasn't around in 'Shayne's' year.  I started off when Leona won it.

And without wanting to sound pedantic, Aiden was nearly half a point shorter than him two weeks ago for several days.

But pretty much Matt's been the favourite from the start I think we can all agree.  Yes though technically Aiden was favourite for a very short while.

Yeah agree.

Shayne peaked in week 2 when he did Daniel Bedingfield btw.

He was the chosen winner (sung last in final etc) but was nearly pipped when Simon stupidly mentioned Andy's dead mum.  Sloppy mistake which he will have learnt from.

Although Matt is the favourite with the public at the moment that doesn't mean he's Cowell's chosen one.

Cowell's main aim is to have an entertaining and credible TV program, that's where his money comes from, therefore he wants all acts to be as good as possible (with one or two acts there for comedy value). Secondary considerations are to future record sales and, especially with this series, hopefully American appeal. Matt wouldn't get anywhere in the US but Rebecca could.

to answer the heading ...NO !

in my opinion his performances so far have been understated in comparison to his outstanding version of 'The first time ever I saw your face' he did at boot camp, I would love to see him do Losing My Religion one week as he'd nail that song.

My only concern is he is not showing much personality and people may find it hard to warm to him in terms of winning the show

I could say Matt would do well in America and Rebeccca wouldn't so that cancels that out doesn't it?

I don't know I'm sure Henry aint that bad.  My credentials are that I clearly picked the winner here two years ago with only one choice right at the start and did exactly the same last year too.  My guy's not doing too bad me thinks this year either.  You've no doubt got the winner Hel whoever wins as have most on here!

Lou you and Angela made a good call of being original Matt backers.

But, although he is musically talented, I have seen many New York buskers just as talented.

But you haven't seen young 18 year old lads who can sing as wonderfully as One D?

There is no chosen one yet imo.

The first six weeks of this show are devoted to publicity and viewing figures without any consideration to who wins.

After about 6 weeks SC picks one to win and makes sure it happens.

Of course there are favoured acts even at this early stage, but there isn't a chosen one - yet

I'm in love with One D. I think they've brought on a bit of latency in me. Who'd have thought at my age? (Don't tell the wife [;)] )

Good luck to you.  I really can't see it myself that they're certs even to make the final 3. All will be revealed.

It's not obvious.  I have no idea who you've backed. Can you say please so I know?

I have backed Rebecca lou which if you had any awareness you would know.

Of course I don't mind you posting but it would be appreciated if you could actually add something new instead of the same old, same old.

I don't give a shyt if you like it or not.  I don't work during the day so have a lot of spare time.  Through sheer boredom I like to come on here and have a read of what people have to say and add my two penneth worth.  If you don't like it you know what you can do.

Wanna join the rest of the sheep?

lou, why are you throwing your toys out the pram?

My criticism of you is actually quite constructive if you actually read it.

You read but you don't see!

Anyway if you want to ignore me you can do, cant see it changing my life too much! [;)]

Yer think I will.  You've been having digs at me and I really don't need it.  I've got other important things going on right now that could do without people like you having a go.  I won't answer you anymore.

Good luck with your bets

He may have not peaked to soon but his price has.

He deserves to be favourite but not as short as he is imo.

As long as it's ok to post yes.  Can you run it by 'the sheep' as I'd like to reply but I'm not sure if I'm allowed?  Oh pleeeeeese so yes 'sheep'!

You always take it too far Lou, You get as much "abuse" as any one on here, no need to get shirty with people.

You seem to have a special talent for rubbing people up the wrong way, maybe its you and not them , justa thought Plain

They don't like the fact that I tell em' they're talking nonsense at certain times.  They also don't like it that I keep picking 1 selection at the very start and going on to win.  This year I've told em' all Matt's my choice right at the very start and they don't like it.  They so want to trip me up that's why they have a go.  Look to see if you can find a post with me digging at Helmuthian for arguememnts sake.  You won't.  I respect his views but he should respect mine which he doesn't so I'll have no more to do with him.

A couple of weeks ago Helmuthian doubted I'd even had any bets.  How great it felt when I cut n'pasted them to prove it.  He quickly went back into his shell with his tail between his legs.

Did you not also tip Nicolo this year Lou Confused
By:
Helmuthian Folds
When: 25 Oct 10 17:03
I dont think I did Lou.

I still don't believe you tbh.  I can cut and paste saying I have had a million pounds on but what would that prove?

I apologised for calling you a liar in public but also stated I still didn't believe you.

Petty small minded fools like you usually have no money or friends in the real world I have found.

I backed Nicolo at 38 and Aiden at 12 yes because I thought at the start this year was very open.  By far my biggets win though is Matt who is the one I've singled out from the start.

I thought Nicolo would go a long way so was very suprised he went straight out I have to admit.

to the original poster.....matt hasn't peaked yet and will only get better (my opinion only)....i'm actually hoping to get out at 1.6 (as i will have made what i intended too at the start and i couldn't stand the thought of falling at the last fence).....i think it's a 2 horse race and i honestly think matt has the bigger fan base as said in a previous thread he will pick up votes of the leaving contestants.

right im going to add my two bobs worth some very good judges on here have failed to spot the obvious matt cardle has no charisma no eye contact and at best is an average performer not a star in the making so has he peaked no he just cant

Danyl was 23% ahead of his nearest rival in week 4.

I doubt Matt is so far ahead so 2.8 isn't the most generous price i have seen.
