Ooo get you trick. Next you'll be voting on the bloody thing
Just a watching brief from me so far, and not much of a one at that.
Alesha's problem is that being the better performer isn't always a good thing...it can simply serve to make the opponents supporters a little more keen with the voting, and your own a little more complacent. If a judge tells you you've as good as won, you'd certainly think twice about hammering away at the redial button for them.
Even worse, she doesn't even have the compensation of the judges votes counting, so she might even get that 'curse' without any of the benefit a performer would usually get.
But...
That said, she is still far far better than Matt, who there's every chance will completely mess up and this one will be over before it starts.
Sooo....prices...yeah look not far off right.
If I was gonna be backing one, I'd be swaying towards Matt, for 2 reasons:
a) he is classic reality TV fodder...young white male from a soap on the channel in question vs black female from a rap group.
b) the 'journey' factor. Alesha has been superb all series, Matt hasn't and so if Alesha puts in a stunning performance in the final, its no biggie, she's done it all before. If Matt does, he can easily play the 'underdog comes good' tag, and after last week(even though I still don't admit Leon did actually 'come good'
) the power of that is there for all to see.
Not made me mind up yet tho.
