lol Me too Kim. How is she going to pull that off? So Matt isn't singing the Biffy Clyro song now? Word must have got out that I wasn't happy about it. ;D I love One Direction's song Forever Young, and I like Rhianna's Unfaithful, so here's hoping my 2 favs come first and second, and not Cheryl's 2. (Sorry Rebecca)

Nah it didn't Caz - not yet anyway The full name of the Biffy Clyro song is Many of Horror (when we collide). Thinking about it they should have kept TreyC - she could have done justice to Single ladies with her 'booty' ;D I like both Matt and Rebecca equally, but I dislike Cheryl more than I like Rebecca, so it's Matt to win for me, although I won't be too upset if one direction do, just anyone but Cher

Well that was a bit of a dull final!! Here's my take: Matt - Here with me. Just ok for me, I don't particularly like Dido, I find her songs boring and that was a bit boring Rebecca - Just like a star. Right up her street but another boring song, who picks these songs? One Direction - Your song. Oh dear, terrible! They were all out of time with each other! Cher - Mash up. Sounded like a kids school play! Matt with Rhianna - Matt struggled a little but seemed to cheer up whhen Rhianna came on stage ;D I loved the chemistry between them ;D Probably my favourite duet:) Rebecca with Christina - Christina didn't hold back did she?? Rebecca looked like a lost lamb bless her One Direction with Robbie - Did they sing much??lol Robbie oozes Charisma and stole their performance, I think they were supposed to sing some bits that they didn't ;D Cher with Wil I Am - I actually think Cher outsang him I still can't stand the squeakyness to her voice. I definately think the right person went although I was a little worried for Matt for a minute, you could tell his voice still wasn't 100% Now hopefully cher is out the way, Cheryl can concentrate on the one that in my opinion is worth 10 of Cher!!

Completely agree with all Dee has said. I thought it was an incredibly dull final - although, really it was the semis. I think the problem is in previous years the stage production has been more and more spectacular and the weeks have gone on, with the final being the one all the stops were pulled out for. This year the big productions started in the first week, so there's been no build up. I also think the acts are exactly the same now as they were in the first week, there's been no progression. Was so happy that Cher actually went (I was half expecting a judges vote) nasty little madam. I hope she bogs off to America and doesn't return I think the one who needs to win this for a record contract is Rebecca. I think Simon will sign Matt and One Direction win or lose. Having said that I'm still rooting for Matt, but won't be devastated if either of the other two win.

Dee I thought it is a ok night Matt - First song, a bit safe, but can understand the choice (re his voice) but I really liked it Rebecca - God I like this girl, but all the songs sound the same There is no emotion no connection with the songs OD - I love these kids but they cant and deffo (all dont sing), but they will do well today as most bands mime anyway Cher - I quite enjoyed it Matt/Rhianna WOW God that duet gets hotter each time I watch,(and have watched it loads) the chemistry between them was electric Deff a bit of Dirty Dancing going on there I thought someone would have to chuck a bucket of water on them before it went to the next stage ;D ;D Rebecca/Xtina Felt sorry for Rebecca she totaly got lost, missed her words, What should have been great fell flat..Credit to Xtina for helping Rebecca out when she missed her Q 1D/Robbie,- turned into Robbie and his band, but the kids loved it, had to laugh When Dermot was asking them how it felt when they answered thru their microphone it was not turned on...Enjoyed it tho Cher/Will i am - I enjoyed the energy,And agree Dee she totaly outsang him, I loved it Whilst I think the right one went, If I judged on the night Cher deff was not the worst

I don't want to sound like Mary Whitehouse but did anyone else think that Christina's Burlesque song was a bit too steamy to be shown before the watershed, as plenty of children would have been watching that? Matt - Yeah you could still hear in Matt's voice that he is still not 100%. But I enjoyed both his performances, and yes I agree the chemistry between him and Rhianna was electric. Rebecca - I liked her first song, but it seemed she forgot to sing when Christina came on, and she just seemed to lose it. One Direction - I didn't think their first song was one of their strongest, but I do like them, and they gel so well together. They did look really overwhelmed didn't they when Robbie came on. I am glad Robbie remembered the words to his song this time. Niall is so giddy he does make me laugh. Cher - Didn't particularly like her first song, but she sang well with Will i am. I thought she was very good, but so relieved she went. Well we were right, they put her on last yet again to try and keep her in the competition, while trying to stitch Matt up by putting him on first again. I'm glad their plan backfired.

She was, she was at the back of the stage on the right at the end of the group song. One of the papers is saying it's Dermot's last XF and James Corden is taking over next year If that happens I will not be watching, that oaf winds me up just looking at him and he seems to think he's bigger than anything he's appearing in

Haha, Louis has just been on Sky news saying Cher is the most ungrateful and unpleasant person ever to have appeared on XF Shame he saved her over Paije More proof (if needed) Simon is the puppet master and the rest just vote as they're told.

So pleased for Matt, and LMAO at Aiden throwing himself at him making Matt punch Danni in the face ;D Liked Rebecca, but much preferred Matt's winner's song. I think all three finalists will get signed any way. The Xtra Factor has just announced the top two acts each week: Week 1: 1. Mary, 2. Matt Week 2: 1. Matt, 2. Mary Week 3: 1. Matt, 2. Mary Week 4: 1. Matt, 2. Cher Week 5: 1. Matt, 2. Rebecca Week 6: 1. Matt, 2. Rebecca Week 7: 1. Matt, 2. Katie Week 8: 1. Matt, 2. Rebecca Week 9: 1. Matt, 2. Rebecca So Matt won every week bar the first Very shocked Katie was second in week 7 ITV usually publish the full percentages, so I'll keep a look out for those. Here they are: xfactor.itv.com/_uploads/userassets/files/vote2010.pdf

I'm really made up that Matt won, I do think he was the best on the night. I thought rebecca's winning song was pretty rubbish and the fact that she doesn't move about did make her performances seem a bit lacklustre She does have a great voice though and I'm sure she'll go on to bigger and better things I didn't see Matt pubching Dannii in the face, I must look for that ;D Bless her! I just looked at those results and we were right about them not takin it to deadlock!! Wagner & Paige would still be here and Katie and Cher would be gone Just goes to show they know the results

I was surprised One Direction were only 2.5% ahead of Cher last night

Have a look at your posts at the beginning of the series and see if you got it right ;D I'm having a bet next year!! from 28 Sep It is all so blatantly fixed - that nonsense about raising the age limit to 28 Only two who really stuck out for me were Gamu and Matt. Not keen on Cher at all, she looks too much like Cheryl for my liking. Thought Paije (?) sounded a lot like Luther van Dross or Alexander O'Neill. So obvious the two manufactured groups will go through to the finalsOct 3 Gutted Paije and Gamu didn't go through Pleased that Matt, Rebecca and FYD did. ;D ;D
