I think what is long overdue is a full explanation of how the voting system actually works. I personnally don't think that there has been any fix or that the system has shown any particular bias, but that is only because of the explanations given by other posters about how the system probably works. If you aren't party to that explanation, it makes perfect sence to query how come Leon could have won when people couldn't get through to vote for Rhydian and no, lots of people not able to get through to vote for Leon is not sufficient info as if there were dedicated lines for each act, this would mean that it was a pure lottery who won. Whereas, if as some are saying there weren't dedicated lines for each act, the votes cast for each act are more likely to be proportionate to the number of attempts for each act.

It's news to me. I believe as voter we should be given the exact number of votes each act receives every week, not the percentage. Maybe the phone lines need looking into also

WHOOPEE! Now we can find out how many gullible idiots voted! Trouble is it will only provide the number of phone calls. So judging by some comments ive seen, divide that by about 10 to get the number of stupid people with more money than sense! Though I suppose its a free country and if they want to waste their money, its up to them. IDIOTS!

We all pay to go to the pictures to see the film of our choice.

I understand , but if you were appointed a Judge for Emmy's or Oscars or BAFTAs - wouldn't you expect to have a responsibility to vote for what is more deserving of the particular awards?

I would, however, ignore their ballot results - 20,000 against 7,000,000+ votes. I am sure that the Sun was greatful for the profit it made on the 20,000 phone calls it received!

I would say it is VERY relevant as Ofcom have now demanded that ITV hand over the voting figures

Lol @ ITV. They just seem to go from one phone vote disaster to another.

I don't really care about all this voting business, but I hope they release the figures for the whole series, just for curiosity's sake.

Simon Cowell cares about only one person - himself. If this fix stuff gets out of hand & it in anyway jeopardises his standing with ITV/Michael Grade he will distance himself from the key figure in it. He is not going to let anyone take him down & will come out fighting & slay them without a second thought. Rhydian or his future mega bucks deals with ITV - no contest.
