Surely it's One Direction.

What percentage of XF voters are 10-13 year old girls? I've been laying them till about a day or two ago. Still think they're too short.

But we shall see, I could be wrong, xiting.

Why should SC be bothered if they win.

It hardly hindered JLS OR Rhydian coming 2nd.

The viewing figures are what matters.

I can't see it myself but because of the teeny girls I suppose in with a shout.

"What percentage of XF voters are 10-13 year old girls? I've been laying them till about a day or two ago. Still think they're too short."

Maybe 5%, but in terms of votes cast I'd put it closer to 20%.

No teeny girl vote = no victory. Seen it over and over with the likes of Rhydian, Stacey, Ruth, Niki, Ben etc. You need the massively multi-voting teen girls on your side.

I agree with AA, they don't need to win to be money spinners for Cowell...  They just need to get into latter stages.  Final three would be enough, although I don't doubt they'd like a group to win for a change.

Although I'm on at 8s and 11/2 I think they're way too short in the betting now.

Teen girls multi voted for burke and brookstein alfie and for will over gareth? I suspect as with usa idol its middle england mums who decide these things.

Hope you are right.

But Matt will get the teen vote too. Also he is combination of Adam; Consistently good singing; and boring coventional Kris.

There is only one batch of teeny voters.
I don't think that they will get much more than the Lloyd vote.
They are too young for the housewives to be really interested.
If the field was stronger there would be a very strong case for them not to make the final. There is still a case of sorts.

It's got to be a combination of the teeny vote, plus middle aged mums, in order to win XF.  One D and Matt could justifiably lay claim to appeal to both groups...

the biggest moneyspinners possible will be the act with international success, can't see this being 1D

hard to imagine any of this lot achieving international success.

unless Minehead Butlins is included.

Only rebecca for me could go trans atlantic. Didn't wii.i.am refer to her as "world class" or something like that? Can't find comments on youtube to confirm.

Zero chance of these guys winning.

Lay of the century.

Commodus, you have taken the words right out of my mouth.
But lay them later, eh ?

Must have been while he was kissing you

Let's be honest A1 Bionic, the only ones voting for 'One Direction' are the little under 16 girlies. They'll keep them alive for as long as they can, because they havn't got anyone else to scream at. Sad I know, but fact never the less.

Just asked my 11 year old niece who she liked. They are all rubbish she says. Who do you like then says I. "Death metal"

Do not count on the young girls as an homogenous group.

No she is not an alien. Don't ask.

Well it does beg the question melv. Who the hell votes for these cocky, self indulgent, good for nothings ?
