    His "story" has got him way further than it should have. He is a one trick pony but at no stage has he been called out on it. I will be disgusted if he wins it. Its a singing competition and there is no way he has been anywhere near the best singer......or even 4th best.....

    Problem is will people vote for some English muppet or a Jamaican guy?
    If Dalton wins won't this be the first time someone not from the UK would have won?

    I think Dalton or Scarlett will win.But they dont have the X Factor.Their voices are something else.but theres no connection.

    I havent re watched any of the contestants videos on you tube.

    I think I want Anthony to win to see if he will combust :p he reminds me of one of the Maguires from Shameless

    Both Robbie and Leona are rumoured to be singing with Scarlett
    I think I read
    Dalton - james arthur
    Anthony - Ricky Wilson (from Kaiser Chiefs)
    Scarlett - Leona lewis


    Sounds about right to me, Dalton surely has it in the bag.

    I seriously hope not.
    Anthony is a clown who can't sing coasting by on a sob story.... Imo
    Do you honestly see him selling records?

    Weirdly, I think Anthony could have more going for him than Dalton.
    I actually quite like his gravelly voice, and he was like a child when he met Wayne Rooney, he was clearly genuinely starstruck and it was nice to see.

    Scarlet and Leona Lewis - think I could be washing the cat when thats on too.

    Anthony's issues will also connect him to the Great British Public.
    Dalton is a bit devoid of personality, or perhaps its not visible yet. I find Anthony much more interesting than Dalton or Scarlet.

    Yeah other than a great singing voice don't see anything in Dalton that would make me want to follow his story, or watch an interview with him. Anthony is wound up.. But at least there's an entertainment factor there. It's not 'just' a singing competition. They have to have a bit of personality to back it up. And I don't think Dalton has that.

    Anthony with a bit of media training could be tamed. I don't think Dalton can be souped up though!

    I thought Leona was another let go from Simon's label, when did she last release something?

    This is total crap . Even the past contestants like James Arthur are useless .
    This show is dead in the water .
    It is what it is ....karaoke with great lighting .
