reason being.. i feel that most people have pretty much made their mind up who they want to win..and who they will vote for
admittedly Matt was pretty average tonight compared to his usual standard but given his illlness thats understandable... who cares as long as he gets into the final next week..
what counts is that since the start of the show matt has been consistently the best performer
tonight both rebecca and one D had a huge chance to take advantage of matts illness and close the gap.
but neither of them really delivered the knock out performance.. .. they just dont have the start quality
rebeccas amazing grace was good, but it wasnt the amazing performance that she needed.. i was worried that she would stun us all with something extraordinary but as in previous weeks she didnt and One D are just so average, and lack any real substance
so one must conclude that Matt has had his blip this week, and next week he will be back to his best.. and will just pull away
given his level of public support and how far ahead he is in most of the polls then all he has to do is nail his songs next week and its in the bag.
Yes no one has a response to the fact that Matt is the one to beat. I'd love to ask them all if they had one jackpot ticket going through to the last leg for a million pound win who would they put that ticket on in the final HONESTLY all books aside? If their life depended on it and they had to pick the winner to save themselves who would they HONESTLY who would they pick all books aside?
It's asking yourself that question that can only come to one conclusion if people are being HONEST. If Matt never got about 80% of the jackpot tickets going on him or 80% of the people choosing him for the life or death situation and everyone was being TOTALLY HONEST I'd be very suprised. That's why at hear most of us are expecting Matt to win and many are just book talking and jealous of the fact they've not backed him enough, even red on him and they can't bare to be HONEST and admit it.

they could still back matt/1 or Matt/rebecca as a straight forecast !!
its as clear as day he will win.. every other poll and forum points to it.
the only real danger now is that Cowell has the power to manipulate and fix the final.
if One D were half decent id be worried but they are utter dross so no stress really.
i might top up on Matt 1st/ rebecca 2nd... thats how this is gonna end

Yes my forecast bet would be Matt to beat Rebecca. Just think the boyband although nice decent likeable enough lads are very very average. Winners of the X Factor? Surely not.

Still sitting quite nicely though isn't he? Obviously poorly at the weekend yet still sails nicely through so must be pleased and now only three to beat rivals from the favourites spot when he started out with fifteen rivals.

and if he turns up feeling better,he is the one who YOU KNOW can decimate his price with a single performance.

Yes he has drifted a little. His performances this week didn't help although he obviously wasn't his old self and the ramping of ONE D too maybe. They're the ones who have dropped in price whereas 'The Singing Candle's' not moved in price or on the stage!

DS polls are notoriously innaccurate. There are other more reliable polls that have matt ahead and i shall be watching them with interest this week. He's about 14% clear at the moment but that's not untouchable.
Sad to see that rebecca is losing some votes from people who can't have Biffa winning again.
Yes of the Bailey & Loan Co and you should want rebecca to win as my winnings will go to thwart potter and to build some decent homes for decent hard working people. Though with the ConDem cuts to housing benefits I will have to evict them when they can't pay their rent

Doesn't help Rebecca that Cheryl clearly sees Cher as the 2nd coming..
so she's got a half interested mentor on her side who's managed to smuggle through one of the most disliked contestant this year.
Rebecca should choose her own songs again and let Cheryl continue to alienate the GBP with cher.

Matt odds-on backers getting c0cky whilst living in a permanent state of fear of Rebecca.
Running theme in previous winners Joe, Alex, Leon, Leona, Steve (before he got dropped) and Shayne - inoffensive, grateful and quiet throughout the process. Matt's comments on Wagner and Katie, reports of Cher's tantrum with Cheryl and general ungrateful attitude are notoriously signs of a contestants eventual downfall. Rebecca has managed to stay out of the papers, and get unique comments from judges on her 'genuine' 'what you see is what you get' personality.
In addition to this we know local votes are a huge factor. Rebecca is from Liverpool (how can we forget) population 450,000 not everyone from pool is going to vote but the mulit-voters will cover them so I would say half a million votes are already in the bag.
Her "lack of confidence" has been a running theme from the start, and despite what they've said, they do want someone with a 'story' - when selling the show to viewers in America, it sounds more interesting than Matt, who is incredibly talented but hasnt had as much of a 'journey'
Then we have the judges Simon now it must be obvious to everyone to the blind that they/simon/producers want Rebecca to win. "you're exactly what we're looking for" can't get any clearer than that, Louis said she is his fave ever contestant. In today's market solo females dominate the charts. Leona, Burke vs Joe Shayne Ward etc no contest in record sales. Rebecca would probably be their biggest seller ever. Would do America too with an Adele style album.
The likeability factor coupled with the judges ramping and manipulation, not to mention the whole of northern england voting will I believe will see her to victory.

Matt is so far and away the most talented act it's not even funny. He has never been anything less than good at all of the genres he's attempted, he doesn't have a hardwired default act ( Cher = sh1tty little rap, Rebecca = turn every song into a gospel number, he plays the guitar and has provided the two genuine 'drop your bacon sandwich' moments of the live shows (Nights In White Satin and First Time Ever I saw Your Face)
Unfortunately, it's turning into the 'anyone but Matt' show now, with every other act being ramped (even down to downright lies about Rebecca's 'dancing'), not-so-subtle digs at him not being a trouper due to his illness (not helped by that awful VT piece of him being fed lemsips by his mummy) then getting the graveyard slot whilst Wand Ercection MAGICALLY perform last (wonder how that decsion was made?)
It's all probably to try to diminish the fact he's overwhelming favourite. No competition likes having something that's an absolute shoe-in going into the final, so the whole show is trying like crazy to even up the playing field.

Yes I've thought that for a few weeks now. It seems to be that he does look far and away the winner so to make a game of it they're trying to handicap him a bit. I honestly think he's easily the stand out act with not much to beat at all. I said before I'd rate him about a Group 2 horse whereas the best the others can muster is about a 90 rated handicapper. A long long way clear imo.

Not too much on the market (1/3 of my evictions winnings) but obviously it's a monster swing from Cardle winnings to said entities losses. It would hurt alot. Not a concern though in truth, extremely confident.

at this stage the value bet is Matt/ rebecca straight forecast at 11-4 with slybet
ive been reading every other forum, poll and any bit of analysis i can get my hands on.. and everything points to a matt/becca one-two... with one D coming a distant 3rd.
i dont think even Take That and Cowell can do anything for 1D.. coz they are total rubbish.. they remind me of 5 lads who have won a day out on a back of a packet of cornflakes
They just lack any kind of credibility and substance
I hope Matt sings 'just the way you are' his version is even better than the original... what a lovely uplifting tune
If he nails his signature songs watch his price go to 1.4 and lower !!!

if you watch this full clip and listen to the judges comments after, and the audience going nuts its hard to see past our boy.
if he does this again in the final then its Game Over

No clip is going to convince me, I have seen him perform every week and Rebecca in my opinion is different class, but I suppose its all about own personal tastes.

Of course and you may well be right. May I ask though does it worry you that he's odds on favourite and she's 9/2 and all the polls we've seen seem to have him well clear?

Lou..... The odds i dont bother about I would imagine the vast majority of the public dont punt and have no agenda. I just feel Rebecca would be a better winner, far more likely to go to the very top over all others.

Lou.... Why do you keep questioning my views on Rebecca, I have already stated I think she is on a different level, I also think she should win, I also believe Rebecca is the only one capable of going to the very top. Whatever happens at the weekend wont change my views about both acts, so polls or odds make no difference to my opinion.

rebecca backers... its time you faced facts and faced the truth... shes a nice girl, and she's a great singer etc BUT She isnt going to win... because Matt Cardle is actually better, more popular and will get more votes
Look at the FACTS , we can only go on the weight of the evidence we have, which are what people are saying on all the forums and the results of polls
Matt is leading every poll out there, and he has led the betting from day one. If you read what people are saying about the contestants,He is by far the most popular person in the show
Im not talking just one poll, im talking EVERY POLL, online or in the papers... has him in front. surely they cant all be wrong...this is not a coincidence.
so it would be some turnaround if Rebecca were to change all this in a few days.
Rebecca fans should stop denying the truth and face reality, Matt will win this and she will be 2nd.
why do you want to be a loser , when you can be a winner ?

Yes well put. I'm not denying Rebecca MIGHT win but realistically she's bound for second and like you say every poll has Matt a long way clear, he's been favourite from day 1, is odds on as we speak and is the only act to have had a standing ovation from all four judges. They can't deny surely that his First Time Ever really was the top moment of this how so far either.
It all points to Matt with rebecca in with a shout but no more than that. Will they admit it though? ........................

Sorry Lou, but I have blocked you as well. You were right in your earlier post, I'm always having a pop at you, it doesn't make me feel good and I'm sure it doesn't make you feel good either. Trouble is you say so many things that I find it impossible not to challenge and I get increasingly wound up when however well I think my arguments are put together I get nowhere. Like most people on here you bring the worst out in me, I've tried ignoring your posts, but I keep getting dragged in. Its a waste of time and energy, so time to bow out. Maybe we can start afresh next year and you can learn from the fact that you have alienated so many decent people on here. Maybe you will be able to be an open minded useful contribuor to the forum rather than the stubborn, infuriating fool you have been this year. Well done on your excellent early Matt call, lets hope he makes it safely across the line on Sunday.

Matt is a past professional musician and the x factor isnt for profressionals.Also he has an album that failed and no one wanted and could be found the lowest price of the bargain bucket cd's at only 50p. His voice is weak and irritating.All he does is waaaa yeeeahhhh.Its so boring and he has no real talent. He says he deserves it because he has been in the music game for years.But he failed because people didnt want what he has to offer.Now he doesnt want to compete just hand in his sick note every week and tell the voters it was krraap because he has a sick note.Sorry but voters are well and truly fed up with Matt.
