in The X Factor #1
I'd do a poll but I'm not quite sure how to do them!

Year 1: Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds
Year 2: Shane Ward - That's My Goal
Year 3: Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This
Year 4: Leon Jackson - When You Believe
Year 5: Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah
Year 6: Joe McElderry - The Climb
Year 7: Matt Cardle - When We Collide
Year 8: Little Mix - Cannonball
Year 9: James Arthur - Impossible
Year 10: Sam Bailey - Skyscraper

Which one did you like best & have you bought any of them?

    I preferred Leona's version of A Moment Like This more than Kelly Clarkson.

    Hallelujah and Impossible were also decent winner's singles. That's My Goal is a distant fourth.

    Couldn't care less about the rest of them.

    I liked 'A Moment Like This', 'Impossible' and 'Skyscraper'.

    To be fair, all of the songs apart from 'Impossible' sound like cheesy 'reality TV' winner singles.

    "That's my goal" and "When we collide" were my faves.

    Couldn't stand Leona Lewis, James Arthur and Little Mix's singles
    Urghhhhh

    Matt Cardle's When We Collide - never even thought to buy any of the others - although my kids who were pretty young at the time bought me Shayne's - but it's never been played.

    Little Mix's Cannonball has to be the worst.

    'hallelujah' for me. I think 'Cannonball' is the best song on the list, but covering it was a terrible idea. Sorry Little Mix fans, but it wasn't their fault.

    I think Alexandra Burke's was the best.

    Steve - Awful cover.

    Shayne - Probably one of the best. Sounded fresh and was an ok song for it's time.

    Leona's was ok, but the problem with that was that Kelly Clarkson had already used the song for her winner's single and had done it much better in my opinion, and I couldn't help but compare it to that.

    Leon - God knows whoon earth came up with the idea to use this as the winner's single. A Mariah/Whitney song for leon Jackson!! It was a crazy idea. Even if Rhydian had won, it still would have been a ridicukous song for him to sing too.

    Alexandra Burke - the best one in my opinion. On paper, this shouldn't have worked as the original song is fantastic. However, she's a fantastic singer and she took the song and did a great modern version of it...well as best that anyone could do with it. She said herself that when she frist found out that this would be the winner's single, she didn't think it would work for her. It did though in my opinion and she did a great job with it.

    Joe McElderry - This was good in my opinion. He's an amazing singer and it sutied him really well.

    Matt Cardle - Was ok.

    Little Mix - I thought this was awful. Their version of the song was just incredibly dull.

    James Arthur - This was absolutely horrendous. The orginal song is a fantastic pop song, but his version was horrific. He screamed through it. God awful.

    Sam Bailey - Another bad one in my opinion. She just shouted it like crazy.

    I think even they would agree considering they left it off their debut album (the only winner to do so) and haven't performed it since the XF tour 2 and half years ago....

    They refer to Wings as their 1st single lol.
