.... won Channel 4s Orange Unsigned Act today - a gritty X-Factor for talented singer songwriters.

Anyone catch it. Any views ?

Have been watching Orange Unsigned this year and am really glad Tommy won it, I think he's a fantastic songwriter - will definitely be buying his album, already have MP3s of all the songs he's performed on the show and love em all.

Although Just Like The Weather" is my favourite.

I have been watching and voted for him to win. There is an Orange Unsigned thread where I and some others have spoken about him. I will be buying his album when it comes out. He seems very genuine and humble and his music pierces my heart. I love it. His Mr Brightside cover was so good.

OMG I completely and utterly forgot about the final yesterday, was watching football

I am SO pleased to hear he won though! I LOVED him. Wow I thought Hip Parade would win for sure. I can't wait to hear Tommy's stuff out there! Hopefully Radio 1 will get behind him

I love the Killers but Tommy's version was so much better

I didn't watch the series on tv at all but my friend managed to get tickets to the final which we went along to... and as soon as Tommy got up on stage, I knew he was gonna be my favourite

His voice has some really unusual but sweet elements to it... and his shy and awkward persona was a real breath of fresh air compared to the obnoxious arrogance of Scarlet Harlets...

I'm glad he won, but I still think that overall he needs better songs to match up to the quality of his voice.

I don't think the songs he played in the final are actually his best, much prefer others like:

Tommy's cover of Mr Brightside was superb, Tommy is such a lovely, talented young lad, his vocals are great!
