X Factor Betting Odds - Brenda Out, Who’ll Win The Final?

***Early next year, the X Factor contestants - even Brenda - are going on tour! Check out the tour dates and buy tickets here***

Brenda Edwards is the latest contestant to leave X Factor. No amount of shouting really loudly, mental weight-loss or laughing like a husky machine gun could get Brenda into the X Factor final.

So now that Brenda has been dispatched to the traditional X Factor loser’s career of a moderately successful single, a flop of a single and then a role in a West End play, who’s going to win Saturday’s X Factor final? And - more importantly - who the devil are you going to bet on?

Here’s the all-important X Factor final winning betting odds, with help from SportingOdds.com…

Andy Abraham - Going into Saturday’s X Factor, we were convinced
that Andy would be going. And then he sang Everything I Do by Bryan
Adams, which was so mind-bogglingly dreadful that we only assumed that
the public would quietly usher him to the door. There was the return -
in a minor form - of Andy’s trademark monkey dance; and then,
unbelievably, he brought his own son - who was still wearing last
week’s ‘Daddy’ T-Shirt -  onto the stage and sang the line "Everything
I do, I do it for you," right at his face. At this point we
instinctively vomited all over our shoes.

Andy’s next song was Lately by Stevie Wonder. And it was dull, only livened up by the revelation that Andy sings a bit like a drag
queen. Then came the giant shouty keychange, and the audience started
cheering for him. Morons. He won’t win X Factor. Current odds - 6/1

Journey South - Journey South did something completely unexpected on
Saturday’s X Factor. They actually made us like them. By singing, of
all things, a Rod Stewart song. Their version of You’re In My Heart was
full of something that we weren’t sure Journey South were capable of -
subtlety. And then they went and blew it all by singing something
stupid like Let It Be.

Their version of the song was beyond dreadful. They started off on
separate sides of the stage, introduced one another with arm gestures,
brought on a flipping choir and started shouting bollocks like "Lemme
hear you sing!" and "You at home! Sing!" Back to square one for Journey
South who, we’re sure you’ve guessed, we really don’t want to win X
Factor. Current odds - 2/1

Shayne Ward - This brings us to Shayne, who is by far the favourite
to win X Factor this year. Apparently he struggled with his voice last
week, forcing him to ditch his ‘one soppy rubbish song and one cheeky
ironic song’ approach to sing two soppy rubbish songs. He sang If
Tomorrow Never Comes - probably the dullest song ever written. And he
did it doing a weird bizarre Ronan Keating impression, too.

Then Shayne sang Unchained Melody, Simon Cowell’s bestest ever song
in the world ever ever. Simon made Robson And Jerome sing it and he
made Gareth Gates sing it. Needless to say, he loved Shayne’s version
of it. But if we put a stinky boozy tramp on a stage and made him shit
his pants to the tune of Unchained Melody, Simon would love it too.
Anyway, Shayne’s version was boring beyond belief, apart from the big
girly note he ended the song on. He’ll win X Factor, you know. Current
odds - 4/7

Later on in the week we’ll give you the latest betting odds for the
X Factor managers and the final last-minute X Factor winner. But until then,
