I think that is what the X Factor result basically tells us. Now I hate X Factor (just like all reality TV) but I had to watch it because my other half and her family wanted to when I went round for dinner. I saw it when it was down to four. The three who were in the final and Brenda.

It was so obvious that Brenda and Andy were the two most talented on the show. I think Brenda should have won it to be honest. As she said herself its the girls that vote time and time again for that Shayne and Journey South. They wernt awful but Andy and Brenda had far more talent.

I was pleased to see JS go tonight as I thought that might mean Andy was going to win (as he should of done) and deserved to but it was obvious that all the young girls were going to vote for Shayne because he was the better looking of the two. I know a few girls that voted for him eight times each!! I said I didnt think you could do that but apparently you can?

Anyway I had to rant, I do not mean to disrespect any shayne fans, just think that Andy would have won had it been down to pure Talent!!

It's the same with Strictly Come Dancing. The best two couples were voted off at the end, despite having performed superbly every week throughout the show. It seems that however talented you are at dancing, it all comes down to how popular a person you are.

Well done to Shayne.

The truth is that he beat several far more talented acts. He is an adequate singer, but nothing special. He certainly doesn't have the X factor.

What Shayne has is the good looks. That, and only that, is why he won.

To be honest Journey South should have won this show - with Brenda second. Andy to me isnt anything special - great voice but i think people will get bored of his songs after ione or two as he allways seemed to put the same sound into good songs, as iff if they were all joined together you couldnt tell when the next one was - he didnt sing varieity of songs just the same type.

Shayne is a good winner but he wasnt the most talenteed to of enterd this years competiton

Hmmm,I think they were all very talented this year,however I think the right person won.Yes he is good to look at ,he was always going to get the teen vote but he can sing and the fact that he's covered more genres than the others appeals to me because he could go in any direction with his music.

I was sad to see the others go.Hope they all do well musically and don't end up just 'Celebrity'

Andy will do very well, and whatever happens he will remain the dignified gentleman he has always been.

If I have to be honest, then I think Andy was the best tonight by a mile.

Will Young is not particularly blessed in the looks dept (I am a huge fan btw), and he has got by on talent not looks, so that disproves that theory. Well done to Shayne!

In the end it all boils down to each persons opinion! people have to remember that

There are obviously a lot of people who think he is more than an adequate singer and verey talented, otherwise he wouldn't have won!

who says he only won coz of his good looks?..you!! and maybe a few others. Sheesh, just coz someones fav didnt win.

I thought that Shayne as the complete package. Young, good looking but most important, a very good singer.

Shayne is an average singer when the song doesn't have falsetto in it he is a really boring and bland singer IMO.

Andy was clearly better tonight, he put so much into his performance and was a natural performer. I loved watching and listening to him tonight.

Me too. Even though I wanted JS to win, I can see that Shayne has the looks, the talent and youth on his side. He really did sing great tonight, his range is awesome and with more experience and training he will just get better and better.

As I said, I wanted JS to win, I prefer their style, but I'm not that bitter that I can't acknowledge both Shayne and Andy as awesome talents.
