The X Factor comes to an all-singing all-dancing final this weekend, with Rhydian, Leon and Same Difference all fighting for that £1 million record contract.

It's all down to you, as the viewer vote will decide the eventual winner.

We take a look at who is in with a fighting chance of being crowned the victor...

LEON JACKSON
18, West Lothian
Sob story: Tick. The producers have constantly pushed Leon's mother's financial struggles and his devotion towards her. Everybody loves a mummy's boy - just ask Norman Bates.
Genre: Swing king Leon's gone down the Ray Quinn route of revisiting crooner classics. Popular with the record buying public, but boring week-on-week.
Style: Leon will take the teen girl vote as the only sex-symbol left in the competition. There's no denying that Hobbit-like charm of his.
Talent: The weakest vocal of the finalists, he's often struggled with nerves and has the capacity to lose it under pressure.
Panel vote: He has Dannii's and Sharon's backing, but Simon's never been a fan. Could the weight of Cowell count against him?

SAME DIFFERENCE
Sarah and Sean Smith, 19 and 21 from Portsmouth
Sob story: There was not a dry eye in the house when Sarah told millions about her bullying nightmare. Clearly the school outsiders, it's great to see the underdogs triumph.
Genre: High School Musical meets H and Claire. The tweenie vote should not be underestimated, and their cheesy song choices seem to have won them fans so far.
Style: Clean of cut and fresh of face. Cheesy grins and perky dance routines have the nation divided. You either love it or hate it.
Talent: Individually not the strongest singers, but together they've given us great harmonies and performances that are never dull.
Panel vote: It's fair to say that Louis Walsh won't be buying their Greatest Hits. He has continuously bashed the band for their fromage-topped turns. However, both Sharon and Dannii seem to enjoy them - and Simon looks like he can't quite believe how far he's managed to get a band who started with such bad odds.

RHYDIAN ROBERTS
24, Powys
Sob story: Not especially. Rhydian has explained how he had to let go of his rugby playing dreams to follow a musical path, but it didn't quite tug on our heartstrings.
Genre: From power ballads to camp classics, Rhydian is part Shirley Bassey, part Tom Jones, part Josh Groban. And songs like You'll Never Walk Alone are always going to pull in the votes.
Style: With a slightly demonic look in his eye, there's always been something spooky about the Welsh warbler. Seriously - how much hair gel can one man use?
Talent: Undeniable. Rhydian packs more vocal punch than a round in the ring with Ricky Hatton. He's tackled everything from opera to pop classics and brought the house down each time.
Panel vote: Unanimous. Not one member of the panel has a bad word to say about Rhydian. The Leona factor could win this for him.

THE RESULT
Our money would be on Rhydian. He's gone from an oddball auditionee to the shining star of the series. While he might face stiff competition from family favourites Same Difference, it would be the biggest shock in reality TV history if Rhydian doesn't scoop the title.
