Anxiously searching for where I can download his bridge over troubled wáter song. Though I hope the one that's available for download isn't as short as the one they sing on the show??

I think Ben’s got great charisma, good looks and has a stand-out voice, and I’m really interested in which direction his career will take. But I think Ben could do with edgier songs, not just something romantic and sweet.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but out of all of them I could buy that he could potentially be a bit of a naughty, cheeky boy, and I think he should play on that to stand out. I think Ben could coolly pull off the songs that Stevi (nice but goofy) is given

That’s why I think I wasn’t so keen on Bridge over troubled water, that’s meant for choirboys, not for a stubbly, mature man with a gritty voice. Jealous guy felt way better, but to be honest it’s something to be played in the middle of a gig between the big hits, not a showstopper that could win a competition. I think he needs to aim to win, not just to coast along.

Personally I could really see him do something with bit of a sexier rock edge. I wish he’d sing something like Arctic Monkeys Do I wanna know or Kings of Leon’s Sex on fire - those would work for me!

Couldn't agree more. Love his voice but, apart from his JG, I've not loved his song choices. I think he could bring a lot of raw soul to some of the themse but they seem to have pigeon holed him somewhat as a soft rock/MOR artist and I think he's better than that

I agree with you he is better than that but I loved him this weekend singing Highway to Hell

As Mel said to Ben "You've got it! -no need to say anymore" - he is just brilliant.

I really loved him singing Wild Horses but wish Simon had let
him sing it. to the end.

Also Hotel Californis was another good one, in fact I've liked 99.9% of his songs.

One thing - I'm not quite sure if I preferred him a little more clean shaven - he
looks more boy-ish. yum!

I love ben and I will buy any songs he sings and CDs he releases he is the most amazing singer. I have loved him from the first audition and have backed him to win all the way. I only started voting for him last week and in the final. I voted thirty times on the app 5 on iPad then 5 on mums ipad then 5 the next night and five again on sunday then 5 on each of our phones. I also phoned in and voted using my mobile 55 times but sometimes when I rang it was engaged so I don't know if they all went through. I can't wait to see his cd out I hope it's out soon I've bought the song on iTunes and all his other songs to but can't wait to play it on a CD player.

I hope when he releases an album he has some new original songs written just for him. I wonder who writes the songs for the album but I also would be happy to see demons on the album I think he sings that fantastic just like all his other songs. When he sang cry me a river I could just see strictly dancers artem and kara dancing their american smooth. It was beautifully sung.

Hi everyone and glad to find you here

I was away for the weekend and caught up late to the final. I am so thrilled that Ben won!

I've liked him since the beginning but in the early stages was ambivalent about him actually winning because of the so-called "winner's curse". I'm still feeling a bit nervous for him about it now. However the Fleur bias by the producers got on my nerves so much that in the end I was literally pumping the air when his name was eventually called out.

It was interesting to see the stats and to realise that he did have that groundswell of support throughout.

I just hope that Syco treat him properly. He is such a nice guy that it'll be devastating if winning doesn't work out for him. But, hey, I'm going to be positive from now on and hope for the best.
