Brazilian X-Factor finalist may not have had the best of weeks, after being evicted from the luxury North London pad, received negative comments from Matt Cardle, and then to cap it all off nearly came to blows with the same contestant.

However, the Brazilian born star will no doubt take heart that hip-hop stars N-Dubz have chosen him as their favourite. Though he may not be happy about the exact wording from N-Dubz, who say if they vote for somebody good the show will become boring, knowing a band which is very much in the X-Factor groove is supporting you can be no bad thing. They also added he is “just having a good time”, which indicates the band do not find him as pretentious as his competitors.

N-Dubz, originally supported Cher Lloyd when the series began.  In an interview with Zoo magazine they tipped her to win the whole show.

“We’re absolutely loving The X Factor this year, and one girl in particular: Cher Lloyd. That girl is seriously gangster and has some sick swagger.”

However, it appears the band has grown tired of acts which largely resemble one another, and have opted for the one that stands out from the crowd. Wagner!
