Jennifer Holliday and Jessica. Jessica shows more emotion as she walks towards Jennifer H.
Cam went for a moment to J-Lo's face, and she looked out of sorts.

Very emotional duet, like 2 people having a row over something...interesting performance J-Lo up and hopping about with glee. lol


Aerosmith performs....Love Steve's gear, ultra-

Steve rocks.

Thought she was dislocating her jaw!

Seems ages since we saw Phillip

I really think this final is too long.

Yes. Like when a snake tries to eat something bigger than itself. She was too close to Jessica and I was worried.

Tyler!

Enjoyed Steve's performances. lol

ah gee, ads, when I want to hear more of Steve.tck!

I would disagree. It has been fast moving with some top class performers and very little inconsequential filler

Two very worthy finalists........both should have good careers in music ahead of them

Lovely duet - any minute now, the winner!

Agree...

132M votes! Wow!! Stuff that Cowell can only dream of

So pleased with the result

As predicted weeks ago , the winner was Phillips and he deserved to win

Phillip is choked up - no wonder!

Back....

Jessica & Phillip duet....aw sweet.

Here we go....132 million votes generated....woo

Winner is.....

Phillip!

Well done lad!

Well done to Jessica too.

You know as Ryan was starting the Result I never got a buzz, which I thought was weird...

Phillip is a very deserving winner too. Love that winning song of his....it's beautiful.

Thanks everyone for keeping me company tonight, much appreciated, and did enjoy the whole show.

That's it for another year!

Enjoyed the finale, glad I managed to avoid hearing the result beforehand.

Oh, I don't usually get emotional but............ Lovely ending, he was so overcome with emotion...just wanted a hug from his family.

Thanks for your company this evening folks!

Forgot to add, have a great weekend, and will see you all at the Eurovsion tomorrow....full week it's been eh.

Really happy with the result, never liked Jessica's type of singing. Would have liked to have seen a bit more of Philip tonight. How many did he sing compared to Jessica.

Ergh, would have preferred Jessica to win but it was inevitable

Who was the scary woman singing with jessica, jeezo what a jaw she had

Love his winners single though

Me too! Wasn't counting but she did seem to get more air time than him.

Her name is Jennifer Holliday.

Meh, predictable outcome.
White guy with guitar number 5.

A summary of my 'disappointed' thoughts:
- I think girls should just not bother trying out for AI anymore. The show is stuck in a rut.
-And slightly suspicious that there was so many votes and yet it was the least watched series and the final had 32% lower audience than last year. Teen girls multivoting perhaps?
-I think it says alot that Jessica said in her first interview that she's just relieved it's over. She knew she didn't stand a chance.

And moving on....
