X Factor – The Final – Betting Odds
Who will it be? Eoghan, Alexandra or JLS? Will Simon be richer than last year and will Danii and Cheryl have a mud-fight? After the high emotion of Diana singing her way out of the competition with “White Flag” is there any hope for the fame hungry finalists? The finalists and the odds are as follows:
Eoghan
He’s only 16 and you could see Simon’s eye ring like till registers when he sat in on Eoghan’s first audition. Last week he sang Busted’s “Year 3000″ to much praise & Abba’s “Does Your Mother Know”. However, last week, Simon Cowell said that Alexandra and JLS were the best out of the four.

Betfair: 4.7/1
WBX: 4.6/1

Alexandra
Alexandra sang Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop The Music” and was compared to Whitney Houston and Beyonce by Louis Walsh. She tackled the old karaoke killer “Unbreak My Heart” which was described as a “difficult song” by the judges. Will she have a better chance to shine with this week’s selections?

WBX: 13/19
Betdaq: 19/29
JLS
Last week JLS sang Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Aston even pulled out a back-flip. Will their acrobatics win over the judges and public this week though? They also sang Westlife’s “I’m Already There”, which saw them do the boy band schmalz thing.
JLS

Eoghan has to win, the publicity is way to high on him for anyone else to have a chance.
I heard someone on the radio say that, based on facebook group numbers, JLS should win, closely followed by Alexandra. I think JLS has something like 90,000 fans on Facebook which is quite a lot.
I think Eoghan has the cute factor and a huge following in Northern Ireland, JLS have a shot at being the next big boy band and Alexandra can do it as an R’n'B diva. They all have different audiences and stand a decent chance. It should be a good contest.
Its Official! Get on JLS to win X Factor 2008 – there has been a huge gamble on this boy group. After the facebook facts pointed to them, JLS were overpriced by the bookies: now they are best-priced 5/2 with Corals – get your bets on quickly – and remember to vote!
