I cannot believe Danyl went. What a joke. He and Joe were clearly the better singers last night. What a boring and predictable final it's going to be now. At least Danyl would have given Joe a run for his money. Oh well. Thank god I don't vote.

Caz I would have felt more confident for Joe with Danyl in the final, I think Stacey and Olly have a very strong fan base x

Woooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ;D ;D ;D
To me that was a big 2 fingers up to Simon!!! As much as he tried to push Danyl down our throats it didn't work!
I loved Olly's reaction too, bless him. I only hope now that Simon gives Olly something decent to sing.
Ok, I'm now going all out for Olly to win!! I wouldn't be upset if Joe or Stacey won either but I've liked Olly from the beginning so I'd like him to go all the way ;D

I agree with Joyce, I don't think the final is as cut and dried for Joe as it would have been if Danyl had gone through. The Heat poll has had Olly as favourite every single week, he does have a big fan base. I'm not really bothered who wins now, any of those three and I will be happy. We're at a family party next Saturday, so I'm going to have to tape it. I'm rather pleased the results are not on until Sunday ;D My daughter isn't, she was planning an X Factor final party whilst we were out on Saturday ;D

Yeah I agree that Olly and Stacey have more of a fan base than Danyl, but I think the press were Danyl's downfall. Which was totally unfair and probably the stories were not even close to the truth. But unfortunately mud sticks. The same with Ricky Whittle in SCD. Clearly the best dancer on the show and for the last two weeks since it was reported in the press that he had hit a photographer, he has been in the bottom two, and again last night when he topped the leader board with 95 out of 100 points. It's ridiculous. It shouldn't be about your private life. It's what you do on the night that should count, and imo when I say Danyl would have given Joe a run for his money, I mean when it comes to the big ballads and the money notes, where as imo Olly hasn't been that good overall for the last few weeks, and Stacey isn't consistent enough either. But I think if Stacey gets a song like O holy night next week, and nails it, she could definitely come second. I don't think she will win though, and neither Olly as he has been bottom two before. So hopefully Joe will win. He is vocally fantastic.

I really don't mind who wins. I can't see any of them being a huge success and I expect this year's winner, if it's Stacey or Olly, will disappear into oblivion after releasing an album full of covers. Joe will go the same way, but will end up on the West End stage, which I think he is far more suited to.
I have enjoyed this series though, definitely not top of the list for talent, but it has amused me - especially Jedward who I started out hating, but ended up loving - they made this series by being so bad ;D

I'm sure the press reports on Danyl didn't help but I have to say I didn't read any of them and my dislike of Danyl wasn't based on any press reports, I just couldn't warm to him and Simon's obvious biased adulation of him made me want Danyl to leave the competition even more. I wasn't impressed with Danyl's voice either, he was quite flat on numerous occasions. Olly on the other hand has struggled with songs that challenge his lower register in the past few weeks and if I am to continue with my conspiracy theory I could say the songs were chosen to highlight that fact But I don't think Olly has ever sang flat or out of tune. And I love is dancing Caz!!! ;D ;D Stacey is a lovely girl and has one hell of a voice but her funny, bubbly peronality just doesn't come out when she's singing and again she has struggled with a couple of songs in recent weeks but then again, she has had to endure male songs which is unfair. Joe is always consistent and is always perfectly in tune but to me he isn't a pop star and i'd like to hear him singing something other than ballads. I think your right Kim, whoever wins will go down the same route as past X factor winners.

Rumoured songs for tonight: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe: Dance With My Father, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (with George Michael) and Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word. Stacey Solomon: Wonderful World, Feeling Good (with Michael Buble) and Who Wants To Live Forever. Olly Murs: Superstition, Angels (with Robbie Wllliams) and Fool in Love. Olly the only one not doing purely ballads - don't know if that's an advantage or not! Apparently George Michael hasn't turned up for rehearsals with Joe yet Wonder who they will get for Joe if he doesn't show at all?? Someone on Digital Spy suggested Andrew Ridgely ;D I'm out tonight so I'm going to have to tape it - bit peed off they are getting rid of the one who comes third tonight though Will try very hard not to find out who's gone and will also attempt to be sober enough to watch when we get in (can't see that happening tbh ) Don't really mind who wins, but I think I would like Olly to (we're going to a party in Essex ) - he's entertained me most and I think whoever wins this year will be back to obscurity this time next year

I had a feeling after all three of them had sung that Stacey would be the one coming third. I couldn't believe Robbie came in too early on his own song when he was doing the duet with Olly. Talk about embarrassing ;D Simon said on the xtra factor that Olly is struggling with one of his songs for tonight, and I think it's pretty obvious that it's Hannah Montana's song the Climb that he is referring to, as I cannot imagine Olly being able to pull that song off as it would be perfect for Joe or Stacey's voice, but not Olly's imo. I think Simon deep down must want Joe to win with picking that song as the winners single. They do the same every year. The winners song only ever suits one finalists voice hence the winner. All three finalists were very good last night, but I do think Joe had the edge. I can't see him not winning this. But then again look at Rhydian. Bookies fav and comes second to Leon.

Just finished watching last night's show. Definitely the best two in the final - I didn't like Stacey singing that Queen song first time. Olly was definitely back on form - he has the X Factor for me. I think Joe is technically brilliant, but he does nothing for me. Whilst we was watching it was Joe's performances I was getting up to make tea, go out to smoke, etc. I feel you've seen one of his performances you've seen them all. Did anyone notice Simon saying after Olly's last performance 'I'm so glad I chose you for MY to twelve' -I thought he chose only his category's top 3??? Caz I've heard there may be two winner's songs - the Climb for Joe and Don't Stop Believin for Olly - don't know how true it is though Looking forward to tonight ;D

Totally agree Caz with regards to the winners song, its definately been picked for Joe, Stacey would've got away with it but Olly has no chance. I think it was the right two in the final too, Olly was definately back to his old self last night and I thought he did an amazing job. I totally agree with what your saying Kim, Joe is nice enough but no X Factor. I found myself grinning through Olly's performances and loved the duet with Robbie, I thought he held his own. Joe on the other hand seemed drowned out by George. I thought Michael Buble was quite understated with Stacey and let her shine, George on the other hand just seemed to want to prove that he was still a force to be reckoned with. I'm not sure about Olly singing don't stop believing as it's such an anthem but it has to be a better choice than the climb

I have to say I am gutted:0( I really hoped Olly might have a chance. I have come to tthe conclusion that Simon never believed in him and stitched him up totally, especially with the winners song. He seemed pro Joe through out the show. I'm not blaming Joe, he's a lovely lad and I hope he does well out of this but I am so angry at the bias. I really hope Olly breaks free from Simon asap and does a lot better, maybe its a blessing in disguise

Gutted for Olly, but pleased for Joe. It'll be interesting to see what the percentages were. The winner's song is awful - whether sung by Olly or Joe, most disappointing winner's song yet. I just hope Olly gets something out of this, he is so likeable. I think Joe will have one album that will be moderately successful, then he will end up in the West End on stage, I really can't see him having an enduring recording career. I've loved this series, I think having nobody that stood out as winner from the beginning has made it all the more entertaining. Voting percentages week by week - very interesting reading!!: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 1 Danyl Johnson 27.1% Stacey Solomon 12.9% Joe McElderry 12.7% Lucie Jones 10.5% Jamie Archer 8.9% Lloyd Daniels 6.4% Olly Murs 6.2% John & Edward 4.5% Miss Frank 4.0% Rikki Loney 3.0% Rachel Adedeji 2.3% Kandy Rain 1.5% Week 2 Stacey Solomon 15.4% Lloyd Daniels 15.0% Jamie Archer 14.4% Joe McElderry 13.3% Olly Murs 10.6% Lucie Jones 8.1% Danyl Johnson 6.5% John & Edward 5.6% Miss Frank 3.9% Rachel Adedeji 3.7% Rikki Loney 3.5% Week 3 Rachel Adedeji 15.4% Joe McElderry 12.9% Lucie Jones 11.3% Jamie Archer 11.2% Stacey Solomon 10.7% John & Edward 9.2% Olly Murs 8.6% Lloyd Daniels 8.0% Danyl Johnson 7.6% Miss Frank 5.1% Week 4 Danyl Johnson 36.2% Olly Murs 13.4% Joe McElderry 10.2% Jamie Archer 8.7% Stacey Solomon 8.1% John & Edward 6.6% Lucie Jones 6.4% Lloyd Daniels 5.5% Rachel Adedeji 4.9% Week 5 Danyl Johnson 19.6% Joe McElderry 17.2% Olly Murs 12.9% Lloyd Daniels 12.0% Stacey Solomon 10.8% Jamie Archer 9.5% John & Edward 9.2% Lucie Jones 8.8% Week 6 Stacey Solomon 25.5% Joe McElderry 16.0% Danyl Johnson 15.5% John & Edward 14.6% Olly Murs 10.3% Lloyd Daniels 9.7% Jamie Archer 8.4% Week 7 Joe McElderry 34.2% Stacey Solomon 17.7% Danyl Johnson 15.5% Lloyd Daniels 12.1% John & Edward 10.7% Olly Murs 9.8% Week 8 Joe McElderry 37.1% Stacey Solomon 20.1% Olly Murs 18.7% Danyl Johnson 12.5% Lloyd Daniels 11.6% Week 9 Joe McElderry 42.2% Olly Murs 19.6% Stacey Solomon 19.4% Danyl Johnson 18.8% Week 10 Joe McElderry 52.2% Olly Murs 27.7% Stacey Solomon 20.1% Final Joe McElderry 61.3% Olly Murs 38.7% Interesting to see even the weeks the judges decided who was going it was the act with the lowest public vore - except Olly v Jedward, Olly was bottom
