2. Winner's single so poor that the Reggie & Bollie version wasn't that bad considering how dull Louisa's version sounded. Just another bog standard shouty power balad. They obviously didn't think R&B had a chance to bother sorting them out with a more appropriate winner's single. Is it at risk of being the first ever (IIRC) winner's single to not be number 1 at Christmas?
3. The cringey 'come back lads' send off to One Direction.
4. The duet with last year's winner introducing Leona as the star of the performance (like George Michael did when duetting with Elton John, singing Elton's song). True, Leona is the star but doesn't say much about the show if the reigning champ is brushed aside so nonchalantly.
And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head from the final show!”
