1. Fleur is a good name for a winner
Think about it, there’s only one Madonna and Whitney, Britney and Beyonce, Miley and Ariana. They can ditch the surnames and still be known in a finger-click. Fleur, yep, that fits the bill.
2. She took an unknown song, made it her own
Her version of Uptown Funk might have been a cover but few people had even heard Mark Ronson’s version before Fleur took to the stage. It sent her to the top of iTune downloads and forced Mark to bring forward his release to keep up with her.
3. Simon Cowell liked Fleur more than Ben
Her performance of Uptown Funk was one of Simon’s favourite ever X Factor performances. He might have had two acts in the final, but Simon did seem to prefer Fleur, and he seems to know a thing or two about what will work.
4. One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson likes Fleur
5. And he’s not the only one
6. The girl can dance
Yep, even people who aren’t her biggest fan realise she can move.
7. She has her fans, and they already want more
8. People are obsessed with her body already
9. The bookies were backing the east London singer
By Thursday, Fleur was the 4-11 favourite to win the hit talent show with William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams saying: “She has the momentum and looks like the only pop star of the three.”
