The X Factor US: Season 1 - SEASON OVER!
Prophet:
Tonight the contestants sang a people's choice song and a judges choice.
First was Marcus. What am I supposed to say about him anymore?? His first song was karaoke and the second was a cheesy dance number. He is a good performer and has a good attitude but he can't match up with the others. He has gone to the bottom three straight times, why wouldn't he again? Bye bye Marcus :waves:
Next was Chris. In the middle of the season I would have sent him home but in recent weeks he has really improved. He shows that he is a talented musician and song writer and a true artist. He has charisma as well but his voice is really lacking. If the show weren't called the Xfactor I would have doubts about him. Tonight he did one of his groovy feel good style songs and one of his stripped down type. He is pretty good at both and the crowd loves him. I don't see him going home.
Josh's first was his typical rock performance which he is good at. He could record an album of this stuff. His second was his more boring style. I have a hard time pinning him down, he is a very hard to figure contestant. Does anyone really have an opinion of him? I haven't seen many. The problem with Josh is he doesn't have a stage presence or the Xfactor. He does have an admirable voice and he deserved to make it this far but he can't win.
I've obviously saved Melanie for last. Her first song was her standard fare which includes flawless vocals and her in a long dress behind a mike stand. There is not one thing wrong with this except that it has been done. That said, I'd like to see the others try it. :lol: Her second song was incredible. It possessed all the qualities of a winner: INCREDIBLE vocals and a great performance showing personality and a lot of fun. Simon did excellent at choosing and preparing this. She has been my favorite since the auditions and now there is no question that she deserves the big prize. Before my only concern was her stoicness and similar sounding performances (which are nitpicking concerns) but now I can find no flaws.

I do have an opinion of Josh. I love his voice. His second song was so moving. It is also one of Simon's favorite songs. I love the way he gets lost in his music. I would pay to go see him.
I think the winner will be Melanie or Josh. Chris has a great back story but not a fan of his music.

DialIdol results: http://x.dialidol.com/asp/predictions/predictions.asp
I agree with this set up for the final. Chris and Melanie in a battle for the win, Josh trailing behind them, and Marcus sitting at home.
As a Melanie fan, Chris scares me a lot. A lot of people obviously love him.
Prophet:
Oddly enough, from my perusal of polls and opinion articles most people seem to think Melanie and Josh are by far the best. If the in studio audience didn't love him so much and DialIdol consistently put him at the top I would wonder about Chris. I've never really seen a write up that declares him as a great contestant but somebody is voting for him.
TexasLady:
Before we have the results, I think it will be Josh and Melanie, final two.
About Nicole, I don't think she's a nut job or whatever that comment was. :cmaslol I thought she couldn't pick because Marcus was her guy, but I also think it was to have a draw for the dramatic effect of making both Rachel and Marcus wait to find out who had the lowest votes. Unfortunately, Nicole is a softy and her emotions got the better of her. But I like that about her unlike Simon who I could do without as a judge.
