Don't worry, he will be forgotten about by this time next year.

Regardless of the outcome, I feel so proud of her performing in the final next to Kylie, she looks soooo happy.

Why am I saying "regardless"? VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Why do people think that Saara would be happier to come second?
Be very ironic if Saara comes 2nd considering she's appparently finished runner up in evey talent show she entered in Finland!

Oh, I know he will. It's just a travesty that Saara is going to lose to such a dull non-entity.

And oh look - he's got the pimp slot for the final. And the words 'kooky' and 'crazy' are being blasted in her VT. It's almost boringly blatantly obvious... *sigh*

I hop she doesn't win if she does she needs to get collagen in those lips for sure.

Did she choose that s final song it's awful makes her look too weird

Yes Saara sings well but does she actually have the X factor? The public will decide that but I personally think she she would be better in the West End! Saara will do well and so will 5am and it doesn't always mean winning is the best thing when you have to do what Simon Cowell tells you to do! 2nd and 3rd place often do better!

I'm happy with that performance. Saara really put on a show and really showed her personality. I find her very endearing and I believe it's this that has got her this far. I really hope the public get behind her tonight.

Matt has puts Sarah's silly circus performance to shame

Hear hear !
Now ..let's see how much Simon praises Matt, then we will see the way the wind is blowing ...

I know this sounds biased coming from a Saara fan but I thought Matt was really shaky with that vocal.

Not looking good at all.
And of course Matt finally got his pimp slot tonight

?

Then..


..VOTE Saara

Keep voting guys, I think it's close.

Guys....she's favourite to win again!

Despite what the bookies say, I do think it's incredibly close, too close to call

Keep voting.

Didn't i hear dermot say at the beginning that it was the closest ever final....?

That's good, but odds don't really count, it's votes.

gahh I don't want to get too excited

In some weird way, will Madness and their nutty quirky performance with subtly anti populist anti racism song Mr Apples and their pro - love song, help set the scene for a Saara victory ?

How will I cope with the tension of the next hour ??

Sadly won't win but coming 2nd frkm someone who came 11th in the vote in Week 1 is incredible.

Best comeback in X factor (and in a lot of other voting shows)

Keep voting. I don't think anything is set in stone.

Saara gets to perform last after all

I really hope she belts out those notes. This is her chance to show the average viewer that not only is she a great performer but also a excellent vocalist.

Glad Saara gets the pimp slot
