Okay, this is my opinion on everyone
Bad Lashes - I originally preferred them to Girl Band but wasn't so sure when the live shows came around. They shouldn't have made the live shows though, but there wasn't really a better alternative group to be honest.
Girl Band - same.
Scott - he was growing on me, but nothing special about him. He shouldn't have gone to Daniel last night.
Ruth - I dunno... never used to appeal to me but is again growing on me. She has definately proved that she can sing after Purple Rain and last night's song. I just don't really get her though.
Rachel - I understand how people can not like her because of how 'forward' she is but that's what I like about her. I just find her the most real and genuine person because she isn't nesessarily making herself as 'polished' as the others are in the competition. She has such a unique voice and I know she can give more than she already has. She's good but i know a lot of people won't get what she's about and will have perceptions of her.
Laura - she can sing, I guess but she's not really doing it for me. Just doesn't really appeal to me.
JLS - the groups never really appeal to me for some reason. Same goes for these guys, but they are okay I guess.
Eoghan - won't last too long. That's it really.
Diana - really unique voice and I really like her. I know though, like Rachel a lot of people won't get her etc. I just hope she can pull of each thing (like big band, disco, etc) but I know she will.
Daneil - can't sing. Shouldn't be in the competition over Scott.
Austin - he's great.
Alexandra - not as great as I thought she would be, I thought she would really stand out but not so much. It's maybe all still too diva - Mariah, Christina this week. She hasn't given that WOW performance for me yet.
I don't think there's really one or two people that REALLY stand out as winners for me this year. The general standard is definately really high this year once you exclude people like Daniel.
What you've got to remember though, is last year Leon was rubbish for the first few weeks and then upped his game and went on to win. Obviously, this isn't gonna happen from Daniel but it most likely will happen to quite a few others and they will begin to stand out. I'm not sayint Leon 'stood out' exactly, but he made the final and won over Rydian who was a great singer and this could happen again this year.
Austin will be int he final hands down. I'm not sure about anyone else though, anything could happen. I think JLS might be and then it'll maybe be between Laura and Alexandra. Not sure though. As much as I like Diana, I don't think she'll be in the final.
