I think a Danyl,Stacey and Joe final would have been the best final on one of these shows. If it was back to the normal format then Olly would have been out a long time ago.
I'll admit, I'm not a Joe fan... and I do believe Olly should have won... but I'm not saying this because I'm bitter, lol... just wondering if anyone else feels this year the final was a little... I don't know, lacklustre? I just can't believe it's all over for another year... We've watched this each weekend for months now... I will definitely miss it.
Anyone else? Ahh well... roll on BGT, I guess.
I liked the top two and was looking forward to the show, but I had the same feeling about it.
The first two songs from the finalists were good but already performed.
JLS/Alex were very good, but from then on it went downhill.
Leona's song was a bore, Macca is getting old, George Michael was not exciting, and the worst was the winner's single.
A grey final.

as i posted elsewhere, katie, anaemic might be the word you're looking for. this year's XF has been extremely average, frankly. if Jedward hadn't been in the finals at all, it would have been really lacklustre.
No! I'm on cloud nine at the moment. It feels like I myself have won X Factor!!! I have loved every minute of the series this year. It's been a fantastic journey with a wonderful destination. I'll always look back on this series really fondly.
I thought the final was really good. Loved Leona in particular with the backdrop of the X Factor highlights. I thought it was beautiful!
I feel like the show faltered from the start. There were so many clips of auditions, some of which looked really good, from people who seemed to not make it as far as boot camp.
From that point I think a few wrong turns were taken, and as the numbers dropped, it seemed more and more of the interesting singers disappeared. Only tuning in to see if Jedward survived, yet again! was entertaining.
By the time it got to the final 12 I really felt like I didn't really mind who won, or who got the boot each week, as they were all much of a muchness.
I am surprised Joe won... then again I would have been surprised if Olly had won, simply because I was surprised either of them were in the final.
Of course they can both sing, and perform, as could a lot of the other acts, but on the whole there was nothing new, outstanding or special that has not been done before. I find it hard to believe that the show never found that in the audition process, I think they just chose to stick with the safe and familiar instead.
I wanted Joe to win after Danyl left. Now that the semi final results were published only needed a few more votes for Danyl making the final, though I never voted for him my votes would have put him in the final!

Fabulous Final. Really enjoyed the show.
Leona, Alex and JLS outsung and outperformed, Whitney and the rest.
Joe McElderry the best male vocalist won and I have enjoyed every performance, week by week.
All good things have to come to an end at some time.
I know! I was really disappointed they didn't do them this year.
I'm really pleased Joe won though. My support is usually the kiss of death, so I'm glad to have finally broken that curse this year too.
