    Actually you can vote - I have voted for the last few weeks using the swiftcall service and it works!

    I'd definately buy his CD, but as for going to see him in concert, probably no.

    Love his voice!!

    If he wins, he'll suffer the fate of this previous winner -

    I don't think anyone can say he'll fade away until he at least releases his first single.

    He should rightfully win it but his album would be ballad after ballad after ballad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 560 ✭✭✭nicegirl


    Im so glad Joe is in the X Factor final! Between him and Ollie, it will be very tight but I think Joe will win it. She had a good voice, but Stacey was irritating, and you wouldn't know what she would come out with...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    It wont be tight at all, Joe will win comfortably.

    You might be eating your words later Johner - Olly's got the moves!:)

    I hope Joe wins. He has a far superior voice.
    Everyone says Olly is a better entertainer,but that is all to do with the songs and choreography he's been given.
    I bet Joe could be just as entertaining given the right choreography etc.
    They've both had vocal training for all these weeks,and having heard them both singing ballads,Joe blows Olly out of the water.
    Joe has never disappointed me in his performance's whereas Olly has.
    I think Olly is way over-hyped,and although I do think he is quite good-I think Joe is far more consistent and deserving.
    Everyone I know says that Olly will win because he is more popular with the public,
    but I just really hope Joe does.

    I have to disagree with the suggestion that Joe could be just as good an entertainer with the right choreography - I think the reason he hasn't been given much dancing is because it's just not what he does best.

    He is by far the more superior singer.

    I do think that Joe will win having heard the two versions of the new single. Joe's version sounds far better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Little Acorn


    You could be right,but I'd love to see him give a dancing track a go-he could surprise everyone,we'll probably never know.
    I think he wasn't given much choreography,just because he has such a powerful voice and that's all they wanted us to focus on.

    I hope you're right and that he does win.
    This is my first year watching x-factor-it's quite addictive!:)

    Shockingly thick! Well if it's it insults that are going to be thrown around I think you are shockingly thick!

    I'm glad Joe won, he was the best by a long shot.

    Well I suppose I do actually...sorry! But I just thought that was a mean statement to make about her when Noelisgood doesn't have a clue what she is really like.

    Sorry roberto but I have actually watched the show - she's nice but dim then - is that ok for you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 57,366 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Really, I feel the name of this show, or at least the concept should be completely changed. None of the winners on this show have what I would call the X factor.

    None are star material, maybe Leona, but that is it. None are different and none have that extra something special. The show creators don't even know what the X Factor is. Joe is simply a good singer, and that is where it ends with him.

    Why not just call it: ITV singing competition.

    BTW, X factor in my view are guys like Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Little Richard, George Michael and so on and so on.

    yeah but in Fairness... people like that dont need a show like xfactor to get signed , they're good enough to get signed off there talent alone and not with the help of a tv show

    Good point, but as far as I am concerned, this is NOT an X Factor show, it is a singing competition. So, they should rename it as such.
