Did the noticeable difference in the two winner's songs have an effect

I noticed that James's winners song was a far more 'current' one than Jahmene's.
Do you think that impacted on the final result as the multiple voters tend to be young and older people often only vote once. Were people voting depending on the song they would want to buy? Was this a way of the powers that be trying to ensure they got the winner they felt they could market most successfully?

I'd say yes. Personally I don't like James at all and don't think either of the winner singles is good but imo Impossible is still miles better than Let It Be. The boring arrangement in LIB didn't help either whereas Impossible featured heavy beats to make the song more catchy. (also noticed there was no key change in either of the songs, I guess that's a nice change)
The greatest live of all v adele.... Hardly a comparison
I'd have preferred to hear Jahmene's version of Impossible instead.
By contrast it felt as though Jahmene had been given the pimp song. Unfortunately for him he blew the opportunity to steal the title with too much untidy screaming. Angels was extremely good, and had he carried on in that form I believe he may have won.
They did it in Series 7
Matt - When We Collide
Rebecca - Distant Dreamer
and season one.
James was ok but not as many knew the song before he sang it.
At the end of the day they were both excellent and seemingly decent guys and I think both will have good careers
I imagine it would have made a difference for the floating voter, or the ones who only tune in for the final.
Yes, LIB sounded terrible, but let's not forget it is an all-time classic song, known by just about everyone, and it was the dreary arrangement and Jahmene's silly over-singing that were at fault, not the song choice.
I'd have probably voted James to win so I wouldn't have to hear it.
i think they were trying to "delight the demo" in both cases...:D
I love 'The Greatest Love of All' - I find it very inspiring and uplifting. But I can't stand Adele's stuff - I find it so dull and dreary.
All down to personal preference, but I actually preferred Distant Dreamer to Many of Horror/ When We Collide.
i agree. james seems to have clinched the title on saturday. for me, both "feeling good" and "make you feel my love" are paradoxically poignant and heart-tugging... all the hardships he's stored inside him only help to inform his performances...:cool::cool:
if ever, i thought "impossible" may put him in trouble and that's when i reached for my phone to vote a few times.:eek::o:o:D
So do I... But when you consider baloney got slated for singing old songs and nothing current, the same could be said for jahmene. Unless I'm mistaken the most current song he sang was Angels which itself is over 10 years old.
Jahmene wasn't given anything to even attempt to bring him a new audience. I'm 30 but I'm pretty sure every one of his songs bar Angels was released before I was even born!
