Emily was probably something like 18.73% while Matt was 18.72% or something. They're rounded numbers. You're making a pure assumption that the reason she is listed as first is that it's alphabetical.

Sure does. They did get reminded of it every time she was due to sing

Wouldn't have impressed the 5AM voters. In any case they were far too recent

Unlucky for Saara, it's the first time that the finalist leading the freeze vote on the Saturday night hasn't gone on to win overall

Matt won because of 5AM's elimination. He gained 10% overnight following their elimination and 5 fresh votes for everybody. Only reason he won - wasn't anything to do with any of his performances on the final show.

Saara actually had a lot more support than I anticipated -- not once in the bottom 2! Goes to show what a joke the lifeline vote was. 5 AM's stats shocked me too, I thought for sure that they were pulling through by the skin of their teeth towards the latter stages, but they easily could've won the whole show. God knows why.”

5AM and Sam were my two favourites from the beginning and I liked Matt too! After Sam left my free votes went to 5am every week and I always thought they would be in the top 3! I definitely think we had the 3 best contestants in the final at the end!

Yeah, and as others may have said, the 5AM fans may also have migrated to Matt!

..So Saara got 45.5% of the final vote between her and Matt.

Pretty impressive

Was it 6.5 million votes Dermot said there was?
If so that works out at around
Matt-3,152,500 votes
Saara 2,626,000 votes
Beating her by 526,500 votes

I think you have hit the nail on the head

IMO if Emily had been give a some up Tempo Songs she would have been in the Final

Which is roughly the number of votes 5AM will have had at the end of Saturday's freeze as 2m votes were cast and they had 30%ish of the vote. (600k votes).

Yes, I said this would happen last night, I always voted for 5am but tonight my free votes went to Matt! This is what mostly gave him the win, without a doubt! I liked Saara, but for me she wasn't a X factor winner, more for the west end. Nice lady with a good voice but what was Sharon thinking giving Saara the last two songs to sing and not Chandalier as the best of the series?

No it's not alphabetical. Do you really think they got the EXACT same number of votes? I have more chance of winning the lottery than that happening.

Emily could've been 18.79% and he could've been 18.70%. Stupid of them not specify, but she's top because she had more votes; just like Gifty is above Saara in week two.

By your logic, did Eoghan deserve to win in 2008, then? He won six of the 10 weeks, if I remember correctly?

Saara topped the last two weeks and last night, she definitely had the momentum. The typical voters came and crashed the party at the last minute and spoilt it all for us, though.

I definitely agree, Matt had his worst week last week and it was so close with him and Emily but Matt came back this week really strongly! I think Simon lost it for Emily by never giving her a upbeat song and giving her the same old thing!

But I still think Matt deserved the win because he topped the leaderboard nearly every week!

Both of Saara's song choices tonight were terrible, while both of Matt's were perfect. I'm a massive fan of Saara, but if I had tuned in for the first time tonight I probably wouldn't have voted for her because those songs were just WRONG on every level.

Saara was in the lead, then the Bjork song lost it for her. It's too playful and not dramatic enough for the final. Anyway she will do well despite not winning.

Big thing there - Saara was leading at the vote freeze yesterday but Matt overhauled her overnight/tonight.”

I'm happy that Sam's Hello and Total Eclipse Of The Heart did so well in the votes as both are very underrated performances in this series imo, ashame that her week 5 and 6 votes went so wrong though.

I'm glad that Saara's It's Oh So Quiet put her in 2nd place in week 3 as it is my favourite Saara performance.

And I'm happy that Relley's Shackles performance, and Ryan's Twist And Shout was also appreciated in the voting to some extent.

However it seems that I was right that if Emily weren't on so late in week 6 that she would've been in the bottom two, possibly dead last in the vote, she's like the Folk version of Tamera Foster.

Good point r.e Eoughan.

Fair enough though, Matt was fair and square. I was wanting a Saara win it would have been brilliant, a great example of this country embracing someone from another. She would have made history to have become the first first week bottom 2 contestant to win it!

But this is the X Factor...and honestly Saara fans it doesn't matter who wins. It is almost definite Saara will be signed and release a single and album. I think both Matt and her aren't very commercial and could see them both like Fleur and Ben failing. However, lets look forward to Honey G's single, Saara and Matt's upcoming albums and singles etc.

I'm not bitter, he had a great night yesterday and today and i find him personally unlikeable but i realize why he won, a great voice, he's been winning for weeks, she did give him a great fight and to be 48% v 40% is amazing in itself. A very close final.

Whatever way you look at it Matt topped the vote 6 times not counting the week he had almost the same as Emily and Saara topped the vote the two previous weeks to this week when there was a lot less people in the competition but Matt got his momentum back tonight and upped his game, hence why he won so this makes him the most deserving winner for me!

Plus Saara was in the bottom 3 for a number of weeks! I think if Saara had been more consistent early on she might have won it but she came a good runner up in the end!

It had nothing to do with the songs. She lost because 5AMs votes went to Matt and he gained 10% overnight.

I agree 100%, but I do like Matt, I also think it was a good final and pleased that both had a good final!

Matt doesn't derserve to win because he topped the votes the most times, otherwise what's the point of watching the show to make your own opinions otherwise if we're all suppose to worship "the most popular?"

They weren't lying (for once!) about the vote being close, both the first part of the final and the semi final were very close for all of the acts.
