Seriously, there's enough horrible threads out there!

Well done to Joe and yey for all Joe fans! When are you all off out to buy his single?

I'm gutted for Olly, obviously, but Joe was amazing and he did a really good job of The Climb!

I also hope that he gets Christmas number 1, because I think the Rage Against The Machine bid is quite spiteful - just because my favourite act didn't win, I'm not going to rush out and buy everything that isn't the X Factor single!

Why? Because Joe is talented, and comes across as a decent guy (although I don't know him!) and why would I waste my money trying to ruin someone's career?

*raises a glass of bubbly* a good (if a bit long) final!

Very gracious OP

I was a fan of both of them. Really hope that they both do well

Although I adore Joe I hope (as I hope every year in vain) that the Xfactor song is not number one for Christmas. Not that I don't want him to get to no one, but the week after would be better

I think Joe's version of The Climb sounded more polished, but no doubt Olly's would on the actual CD. I hope they both have successful careers!

I'd also like it if all the nasty anti-Olly and anti-Joe threads could stop, but, unlikely!
