Adam Lambert should just move to Finland.. First he dated a Finnish guy couple of years and now he sings with the finnish singer? What's next?
What's that got to do with anything as long as he can sing.
And he can sing.

I knew it! She's now the bookies' favourite to win! She may not be everyone's cup of yea, but she won't make an embarrassment of herself when invited to perform next year Dying to hear her version of the winning song.

Dont think she is doing to well in the odds today, I know it's not about odds. Just really hope people who want her to win will vote on Saturday and Sunday (if she makes the final 2)

There are a lot of people who just vote in the final. I think her talent should be enough to secure more of the extra vote.

In the end, just making the final has been something special because I never thought she would get there. She's given herself the exposure she needed to kick start her career, I can't wait to see what she does next.

If she does win, the only thing I want to see is Simon's face. I think even he is shocked how far she has come and I love it!!

Glad she got a great reception. Apparently, the X Factor crew said they've never seen anything like it in 13 years. She sounded really good. Nice of Dermot to be there.

I pointed my satellite dish to Finland tonight to see the news reports of her homecoming. Although in Finnish, here's the ones I managed to record.

I think this should be the headline on all the press the morning after she wins. Despite all the odds stacked against her, she's already come out on top.

Boy do I love the underdog story

I guess it's a given that her "performance of the series" should she make the final 2 would be The Winner Takes It All. I'd just be a little worried that she has performed it only two weeks ago so it might seem too soon.
Personally, I'd prefer Enough Is Enough

Absolutely love Saara. Best XF contestant ever IMO.

She has everything. Not only does she have one of the best voices on the planet, she's equally amazing singing uptempo or ballads. Whether it's sitting behind her piano singing 'Winner Takes It All' or strutting her stuff with 'Enough is Enough' Saara always delivers the performance of the night.

I've voted 30 times every week but I'm upping that to 100 for the final. She really deserves to win and I want to make sure I do everything I can to make that happen.

Well I remember Fleur did Uptown Funk literally the week the before the finals and did it again at the finals. It didn't have the same impact as viewers had just seen it but it still got her to the final 2.

Sharon Osbourne headed to LA this morning; I know someone who works with BA who saw her on the flight

Just thought some might find that interesting!

It actually surprises me how Sharon manages to fly to the US immediately after X Factor to host her weekday talk show.

A bit much, no?

I agree with the overriding sentiment though - she has been and continues to be in a league of her own in this, for lack of a better word, competition. Definitely a deserving winner.

Kind of weird though that she didn't beat Finland's entry this year (Sing It Away) which was kind of semi-final fodder

Finland had two part selection process, public vote + multiple juries, and then some advanced calculations that no one understood to get the final results.

Saara did win the public vote, while Sandhja's Sing It Away was third. But in jury results Sing It Away came first while Saara was third. So when they somehow added those points together, Sandhja was first and Saara second.

But I doubt that Saara would have done any better in the Eurovision than Sandhja.
Finland always tends to finish in the lower numbers, except with monsters.

There's a new thread about Matt's duet partner...

Just now on Capital its been reported that Simon has persuaded Harry Styles to perform with Matt this weekend after talks with Sam Smith fell through.

And there was me thinking this was Saara's for the taking
If this is true, then Simon seems desperate for Matt to win this year
