X Factor Betting Odds: Leona Lewis & Ben MillsEvery year on X Factor, one or two contestants always emerge as favourites early on and turn the series into a two horse race. This year is no exception, and those two horses sure do make some funny noises.

At the moment Leona and Ben are streaking ahead of their X Factor competition, like the namby-pamby Scottish boys and that ADD bloke, so much so that it's hard to see any of the others catching them up. But if there's going to be a Leona/Ben X Factor final, which one should you vote on now while the betting odds are good? You're in luck – that's what we're bloody well here for, isn't it?

Here are the X Factor betting odds for Leona Lewis and Ben Mills

Leona Lewis – Everyone knows that Leona Lewis thinks a lot of Mariah Carey – as well as chronically oversinging every word Mariah-style, so that the word "baby" comes out sounding like the word "bayoohaahbeeeeah" and every three seconds she makes a noise like someone's pouring ice down her back, Leona has also started spouting bland nonsense like "I'm doing this for anybody who's ever had a dream". Last night we dreamt that we were standing naked on a stage in front of everyone we've ever met while a lobster cut our hair, so she must mean she's doing it for us. However, despite this – and having less personality than a bag of silt – Leona can sing. Her powerhouse version of Summertime brought the house down on Saturday and set a new standard for X Factor performances. But we're sad to say that Leona keeps spontaneously bursting into tears at the end of her songs each week, and we keep kicking our TV over each week as a result. We hope Leona wins X Factor, because we're going to bill the weeping moron for all the TV sets she keeps making us break with her soggy face. Current X Factor betting odds – 11/4

Ben Mills - People keep saying that Ben Mills has the voice of a generation. We're assuming they're talking about a generation that existed before telephones were invented when men had to stand on top of hills and yell at other tribes, because his Gomez-style, over-the-top X Factor roaring leaves us completely cold. On Saturday Ben turned Smile into a sort of horrific soft rock power-ballad that was only really missing Slash standing on a windswept clifftop playing a 45-minute guitar solo. Ben is favourite to win X Factor now – but next week is Abba week, and Gimme Gimme Gimme A Man After Midnight sung in the style of Joe Cocker straining for a shit probably won't earn Ben too many votes. It's not all bad news, though – if Ben doesn't win X Factor, we're sure he'll find work doing the voices of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park 4. Current X Factor betting odds – 10/11

    god leave some positive comments about them. Leona sings that woahahaah because it sounds good. if you don’t like it do you expect her to sing crap like ray or eton road.
    and are Leona’s betting odds greater than Ben’s?

  • Lucy says:

    I totally agree with your comments! (Stuart) she totally lacks personality and everything is ‘Amazing’ the Judges were ‘amazing’ oh it’s ‘amazing ‘ is all she ever seems to say
    No one can deny her style of singing is not even her own! a karaoke style version of Mariah Carey
