Who will win the X Factor?

[Phill]

On the night Rebecca should have won but it was the right two in the final.

There wasn't much between the two of them. It was one of the closest finals for a long time. All three finalists will go far and I wish them every success. Matt waited a long time to get there. It just goes to show if you get that one little break, what it can lead to. Good luck to him he seems a really genuine person. Rebecca wanted to be a success for her children. Even though she didn't win, she certainly is that now. I think Simon Cowell will now go all out to prove to the world that One Direction are the next new big boy band. They've certainly had the best start to that, ever.

In a years time you'll be saying Matt who ?

I might be inclined to agree with you there. He seems a really nice lad who has waited a long time for doors to open and I'm genuinely pleased for him but in my opinion I would say that he was more suited to a front man with a band than a solo artiste. Rebecca on the other hand is a stunningly good singer with that indefinable star quality which sends shivers down your spine when she opens her mouth to sing (you can't hear the Scouse accent when she sings). She is the one of three finalists who has the real X Factor.
One Direction will make it for sure as there aren't too many boy bands of their kind at the moment and they are all good singers with the right sort of appeal.
Good luck to them all.

Come to think of it where was last year's winner, Joe. I always thought the previous winner appeared at the final.

Rebecca was very predictable - same type of song, stiff, rooted to the spot all the time and never really gave it a bit of welly.

totally agree although her first song tonight was really good, she could've moved a bit to give it the energy it needed!
very stiff indeed.

i disagree matt is an all rounder he has an amazing voice and his single wow i for one will buy it x

I am really chuffed that Matt won! I was rooting for him from the beginning and he never gave one bad performance.

Rebecca was a lovely person but I can't see me buying any of her albums whereas I would buy Matts.

For me the right person won.

Sorry folks but he murdered that song, lets hope the recording sounds better

He was suffering from tonsillitis so not at his best but still great.

My guess for the final placings is

1. Matt
2. One Direction
3. Rebecca
4. Cher
5. Mary

but the first three could come in any different order.

And last but not least....

Congratulations to the Queen of the Jungle. She may have been third last year but she was a clear winner this year.

Oh well I wasn't too far out with my guesses but I obviously overestimated the momentum behind One Direction. Putting money on the order of all 5 was a dangerous game that I avoided......fortunately.

Well done to Matt!
