I'm really surprised a the love for this. But each to their own.
Of course the funniest thing was this song was leading with just one set of votes to go. The FM who was last to vote was - thengp12.
3rd place 85 points

Even with Heat 8 still to go I think Nick's reclaimed his Multivitamin crown it's safe to say... Would've preferred the German party girls, but congrats.

Good contest weedy, that was fun!

Hmph. Reluctant congrats to Nick

Thanks for all the votes! Never mind that dreadful Irish lullaby, this was the true winner of 1994. The year of my birth incidentally

If only they'd had televoting back then. Mekado would've stormed it.

Not that I ever doubted it but way to go Saara!!

It's funny when you think way back to February when she was performing at UMK. How many of us could have predicted that she would be in the X Factor final at the end of the year!?

2016 has been truly weird hasn't it?

I wonder who Saara will duet with in the final?

I'm terrified of people turning on Saara and doing the usual thing like call her "smug" for daring to make the final and be happy about it, but YESSSSS!!! She really is super talented and I'm thrilled to bits!

Lady Gaga them two doing Edge of Glory or Speachless would be good

Edge of Glory would be good and lyrically appropriate for the final.

They are sponsored by lastminute.com

I'm so pleased for her! I never would've imagined a Saara win at the start of the live shows.
