It doesn't really "grow" either. I love the song but its not particularly uplifting and there's no moment (or possible chance) to have a big key change and finale to it. But I felt Hallelujah wouldn't work and they managed to make it pretty "epic" and winner-like for Alexandra (sort of killing the soul of it, but I won't get on to that )
I love that song, and can't imagine any of the final 4 doing it justice. I thought Barlow was writing the song for the winner this year, I assumed he could come up with something typically bland yet appealing.
