Now wait for a certain forum member to post a load of vitriolic bile about what a fix it was!

The Power of Radio 1 voters is a force to be reckoned with !!

Is it too much to ask that's everyone's pleased for the both of them?

WTF

My Gob is smacked

For future reference the last 3 nights the person the camera cuts to on Patrick's word "IS" is the winner.........

I'm not a radio 1 listener, but I voted for her. Wow, I really thought Kim won it

ooh look at kevin's gay see-through shirt

What were the actual voting tally. I can't believe Kim didn't win as she proved over the week she was the best singer there. I guess the pity votes for Edith's tandy quality microphone came through for her. What a total fix and shambles this show is. The talented person should be rewarded with victory or hell Adrian should have got it to keep both girls out. Must be something bitchy about the result. Why don't people like Kim?

Bez and Edith on the trot.

I'm getting better at this.

The bookies were prooved wrong again

No mention of auditions for a third series

Ooo drunken fame academy at 12.

I have got to stay up till midnite then

But they don't need auditions if they hand pick the contestants

Wow Edith wins it, I'm shocked, I really am

All in all it has been a really good series Most entertaining

Congratulations to each and everyone who took part and it's fantastic that £1.3 million was raised

If it was a fix I think they's have sorted the mic out earlier. Listen my prefernce was Ade/Edith/Kim but now she's won, can't you be pleased for her? She's passionate about music and really gives it all when performing. She wasn't your choice but it wasn't a fix.

I really thought Kim had won tonight, better song superior performance.

I think the voting was right out of order & if there's a future CRDFA please make the final in the academy on the Thursday.

Drunken Fame academy at midnight

Well done Edith i didn't think you'd win but you did

Tez

Cant miss that. Its gonna be good

lol @ bigstunnerdude's "tandy" quality microphone.

Same as we raised in ONE DAY at the Millenium Stadium Tsunami gig in Cardiff!

That would be uncharitable since both are with BBC anyway and Edith justly deserved to win having taken the huge risk of covering so many different genres of music with such little training.Well done Edith and well done to 8.5 million voters for raising so much money......

Yesss!!!! Result!!!

Congrats to all of them, but wow, well done Edith!!!

Nick's film is very moving... Ohh the pretty nurse died as well!

I would like to be pleased for her but I can't help feeling that she fits the bill for the preferred winner. Dawn French hugged her like a long lost child and gave Kim a a quick one armed squeeze. It stinks of 'mates rates'.

I've said all along that I wanted Edith to win, but that I thought Kimwould. Now, I'm pleased that I was wrong but I'm extraordinarily happy that we've all contributed our bit to RND. Well done everybody!

I'm looking forward to Drunken Fame Academy at midnight, too!

Steve.
