Jade Thirlwall - *EXTREMELY LONG STANDING OVATION* - Wow. I know all the trouble Justin went to in getting that song out there, but I have to say, it was more than worth it. I hate when my favourite artists are used wrongly, but that winners song was inspired, absolute perfection. You've been one of the most consistent acts in the contest, and I think this would be absolutely the perfect song for you should you win, which I think there's a VERY strong chance of after that. Magical stuff, and a fantastic way to close the competition.
Jade Thirlwell; *Standing Ovation*.
Jade, what a beautiful way to end the competition! I have to say, this is my favourite song choice from you yet and that's got to be a good thing considering it's your last ever performance in the competition and the last performance of Destiny's Desire altogether, what a beautiful ending. Despite you never quite hitting the bottom two or three, I must admit I never thought you would quite make it to the final, perhaps fall at the final hurdle, but you did and I'm so glad you did. I wish you the best of luck Jade, I really do!
Jade, I loved that performance SO much. It is one of my favorite songs ever - so simple and beautiful, but it still had that epic cinematic feel that makes a winner's song truly memorable. You have been one of my favorite people to mentor and giving you this was truly a massive honor. I have to thank Alex for helping me find the link - the link I was supposed to use was removed from YouTube amongst the final hours before the competition and any attempts to upload it were futile - so thanks again I loved this performance, Jade, and there isn't much else I can say - you deserve to go all.the.way.
That was stunning, Jade, and the perfect way to round off the final show - very well done to you and your mentor!
Now, it all comes down to the public! You have until 11PM to vote for the act you would like to win the competition, and you can vote by sending a PM to either me or Tyjet. Here's a reminder of ALL the songs from our final two acts tonight:
Jade Thirwall:
Free choice: "Stereo Hearts" - Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine (cover) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYUuLgcwHOg
Jade's voice is a little less infantile sounding and is better than this, so keep that in mind!
Winners Song:
Gavin DeGraw – Not Over You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdarl_Bzbw
A bit of imagination will obviously be needed for it to fit his voice 100%. Mostly on the chorus
Thank you to all who've tuned in, and we'll see you later for the results!
Good luck Carlycakes May the best man win! It's been a pleasure being on the panel - thanks to Tyjet and Ana for adding me on and to Zak, Gav, and Carlisle for accepting me mid-way through. I love all four of you, and we have all had some awesome moments on the show
So the lines have been closed, the votes have been counted, and we now have a WINNER of The X-Factor: Destiny's Desire! Would you like to find out who it is?
Firstly, though, we're going to introduce the remaining two acts and their mentors:
Jag02010 and the last of the girls!
Jade Thirlwall!
Massive, massive congratulations to Jade and her mentor Justin (and I believe this is his first win, too!) Justin, you came in partway through the series, but you managed to win over the public and claim the crown for Jade, so VERY well done!
However, massive commiserations to Carlisle, who brought John Adams to a very well-deserved second place. He's been mentored beautifully throughout, and he would have been an excellent winner. Let's give John and Carlisle a round of applause, guys!
VERY well done Justin! Massively deserved on the strength of your night tonight, and your overall consistency in the contest. Very, very, very good result, and I'm so glad it's happened to such a nice person.
Also, huge comiserations to John Adams, who was a very worthy finallist, and a brilliant overall competitor, and to Carlisle for doing such an excellent job with all of his boys.
