X-Factor

[CaptainAce]

I'm not really enjoying this atm. Dunno why, just not. Maybe some of yous are enjoying more then me?

[Explorator]

I hate the new series really. It's not as fun and good as the old one, and they don't show enough acts and have more advert breaks. I don't think i'm going to watch much more.

[Chris]

I've enjoyed it so far. More so than I did last year anyway.

[Rixion]

Seems more manipulated and forced for this one, and too much focus on particular contestants.

[peteyt]

I only really watch the auditions. I do like the fact that there's more songwriters on this year playing guitar etc. and they have said they want to keep them as they are but what they say and what they do are too different things - I hope they let these people do it their own way - giving advice is fine but on the show they like to change their style often too much.

[geo]

I'm really enjoying it. Loving some of the guest judges too.

Melanie was incredible (the audition showed last night)

[Mat7]

It's not what it used to be any more. I only watched the episode that Rita Ora was on because she's frogging awesome.

[Kardan]

X Factor is really losing its spark now. I heard that there were only 8 minutes of singing in the whole episode the other day. I'm also not a fan of the 'behind the scenes' route that ITV are going with their shows, showing random shots of the producting team walking down hallways, and I'm not a fan of the random hash tags appearing all over the place.

Yeah sounds like they are trying to fit in with today's youth. I think they need to fit more entertainment in instead of the filler they have right now.

[Corina35]

This series isnt as good as the other series.

[Charz777]

The auditions are the most exciting part of the X-Factor; seeing who is insanely good, horrifically bad and who is going to kick-off. So why ITV only show 8 minutes of singing is beyond me. We'll have plenty of time to find out about the lives of the ones who will go far when they are hunted by paparazzi so why the waste the whole show on that is beyond me.

Judges' houses are always good, at least they were last year, so I'll look forward to that.

I always get bored for the live shows, but watch the final. Don't usually care who wins unless someone really stand out.

As for voting, I've never voted for TV contests or reality TV because I think it's an absolute waste of money.

[Seikou]

enjoying it so far but once the auditions are over I'll probably get bored of it haha, especially once the live shows come unless there's somebody who i really like

[Samantha]

Think they're going overboard on guest judges, should just have 4 solid judges or better yet if they're going to use them, bring back X Factor contestants who were in the live shows and made something of themselves? I'd rather see someone who has been there, done that etc.

Nicole is the 4th judge :P I like the guest judges anyway, sorta keeps it fresh.

[Red]

Last year, I lost interest at the audition stage and watched a few episodes of the lives. This year, I've only watched one episode. I don't really like the judges and just feel it isn't xfactor if Simon isn't there! American panel looks so good and I love Demi's and Simons banter, so I'll probably watch that.

This is what you've missed out on!

[A4R0N]

i love leona lewis

[Chris]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1T9-I3wx8I

This is what you've missed out on!

He was great, especially considering he was so nervous to start with.

[Charz777]

Yes, I've been watching X-Factor :P As of tonight I'm quite interested, probably for the first time since I saw Rhydian :P (Oh, he was epic!)

Anyhow, if we're talking about the content of the show, I quite like Melanie, Jahmene and as long as they don't become another One Direction (which they most likely will), Union J.

I really disliked Christopher so I'm so glad he's gone and hope they don't return him for the wild card. I'd like Adam back for that.

I think Rylan completely overreacted when Nicole told him he was through to lives, it was annoying and he's humiliated himself in front of the nation. Score!

[Chris]

I was quite surprised that Gary didn't put Christopher through but hopefully he'll come back through the wild card.

[Red]

I didn't watch any of the auditions but I've been watching youtube videos and I am loving loads of people. I can't believe starboy nathan is on there. I have seen him perform a few times. Is it just me or are none of his performances on the xfactor site or youtube channel :S Really don't like Rylan. :-l and I hope times red get through as the wild card.

[peteyt]

Rylan shouldn't have got through and I really like jermaine's voice although didn't think he'd get through because of his nerves. I thought Duke where great and unique, a lot better than the boy band that got in. Times red where good to and I feel if they where younger they would have been picked. Quite glad Lucy got in but not sure how she will cope in the live shows. In the video at the end her hair looks quite different to.

[OldLoveSong]

I just watch the USA one \o/

[CigaretteBirdie]

I've actually enjoyed it so far. xD Miss Simon though. :3

[geo]

Annoying as hell as christopher, rylan and district 3 are still in.

[Kardan]

This year is the weakest to date, only jahmene and ella are any good, id love rylan to get as far as possible, i love a good troll.

[Chris]

I really like Ella and Jade this year. The others aren't really anything special, although I suspect Union J & District3 will probably have success because of all the fangirls.

[Aiden]

Lucy Spraggan all the way! She is amazing. I hope she wins.. At least she doesn't have a sobe story like everyone else. ;)

[peteyt]

I've said it before but I'll say it again. I think that a lot of the time the judges hold back on what they really think when it comes to their own act. It is to be expected yeah but I think it would be easier if they didn't have their own teams and basically the judges work together. But then again the so called rivalry stuff leads to newspapers gossiping giving the show more press

yeah, i always think that too, you obviously have to save your own act, even if that means really good talent goes to waste.

[Pigperson]

So much talent this year tbh, I never really expect it. I love the girls category, James, MK1 (so sad that they are out) and weirld Rylan - I understand why it was probably rigged to keep him in, if he wasn't in there is no one else who is as bubbly and entertaining and for that reason I like him. I'd prefer him to be a presenter but as an entertainer I hope he stays in for a few weeks.

I don't really get how people can like Christopher as a singer, does anyone really think he is current enough to sell his cheese in the charts :S Times Red could have done well I reckon.

Will

[peteyt]

Well as someone mentioned - Gary Barlow might hate Rylan but Frankie Cocozza was just as bad and always getting defended by him. If he wasn't his mentor I'm sure Frankie would have got a lot of abuse.

I did like the fact that Gary was very honest to Kye and we saw him basically going flat note, flat note.

I think Christopher is a good example of Gary being a little two faced and as mentioned with other acts I think he'd be getting loads of criticism for his song choices and stuff if he wasn't his mentor. He actually is an okayish singer his style is just dated and I can't see him making much.

Yeah, that was nice when Gary did the flat note thing, showed he was serious about it. Also I'm sure Gary said to one of the acts that he didn't mentor, that they did really well and it was his favourite performance of the series

[SackRace]

mk1 were amazing cries

[geo]

mk1 were amazing cries

yeah they were, there was a trend on twitter though saying "revotemk1" or something and it was saying that their voting lines had frozen for a few hours idk

[peteyt]

Lol seems they always say this or something similar.

MK1 was good but not as good as they could have been - the problem as they put was the general public wouldn't like their underground stuff but doing mainstream stuff would be a sell out. I kind of feel it wasn't the best show for them.

[geo]

ella is so perfect

[Kardan]

gary barlow is epic. x factor just got interesting.

[SackRace]

lost intrest a few years ago, whole load of rubbish

[Seikou]

really hoping lucy spraggan or union j win, my two favourites this year

i actually quite like rylan now, he adds a bit of fun to it hah

[peteyt]

Found a lot didn't bother with the Halloween theme

[the.games]

Theme wise I think Strictly Come Dancing was better to be honest :P.

[Halas]

I watch because of flawless Britney

[geo]

wanting christopher or district3 to go this week, it's stupid how jade went and not one of them didn't imo.


I watch because of flawless Britney

is that the usa one? :P

[Jurv]

i think district three should be the ones to go next (i think that's their name?), i've never liked them. far too cheesy!

[Red]

Don't like Christopher and Kye. Hope they go next. Sad that Jade went :(

[geo]

ellaaaaaaaaaaa is perfect and seeing all of her performances, i haven't been disappointed with a single one.


Don't like Christopher and Kye. Hope they go next. Sad that Jade went :(

kye is gr8 thx

[Jurv]

Don't like Christopher and Kye. Hope they go next. Sad that Jade went :(

i don't mind kye but i can't see him winning or getting to the final. can't stand christopher lmao :(


ellaaaaaaaaaaa is perfect and seeing all of her performances, i haven't been disappointed with a single one.

ella's performance was flawless tonight, her voice is so goooooood *+*winner*+*

[geo]

i don't mind kye but i can't see him winning or getting to the final. can't stand christopher lmao :(



ella's performance was flawless tonight, her voice is so goooooood *+*winner*+*

i want kye to get into the final but i don't see it either, the competition is brilliant this year. district 3 to go home tho.

[Jurv]

yeah district 3 were awful this week, they definitely need to go sometime soon. i think a lot of the contestants are going to get signed even if they don't win the competition anyway. i can imagine ella, jahmene and james getting one. maybe union j too :P

[geo]

union j have so many fans already it's crazy. :P i really like james too, he's so good.

[Abrood]

It's not as good because everyone on it can't sing.

[Chris]

I thought James and Ella were great last night. Thought District3 were crap this week so I reckon they'll go tonight.

[Martin]

thought ella and jahmeeeenneee did the best last night vocal wise


District three were awful, the song choice was dire

[Chris]

Can't believe Tulisa sent it to deadlock! Rylan should definitely have gone.

[Martin]

bit of a shock there haha! Rylan lives on another week thanks to Tulisa!! :O


Surprised district 3 got through, I expect they have a good following though ;)

[geo]

That's so ****** up making Kye lose. **** off Tulisa you chavvy urban vibes loser. Glad I know Kye will go far anyway, goodbye District 3 or Christopher next week please.

[garriet]

can't believe kye has gone, lmao it is an actual joke. yeah they keep saying its about entertainment show too but no one is going to buy rylan's songs when he gets a record deal if he was too win so it is about singing lol??? not that he's going to ever win, i hope he leaves next week! :)

[SackRace]

Couldn't care less about X Factor, if its a fix if you ask me

[dirrty]

the same thing legit happens ever year, why does everyone get so invested and then angry with what happens :S SHOCK HORROR. same time next year eh?

[Matthew]

What a joke.. Kye was a million times better than Rylan. How Tulsa could send Kye home is absolutely beyond me.

yes there needs o be some entertainment, but it is primarily a SINGING show. Kye can sing and sang immennsely well there, whereas rylan was absolutely outclassed. So disappointing.

...the second the public decides who advances through each stage, it automatically makes it a popularity contest. all shows like x-factor are selling consumers a possible brand, rooting for certain individuals/groups and becoming embedded within the show themselves, guised as a singing contest. whomever has the ability to bring in the most ratings, money, and future endorsements will go far. those who can't, byebye. it's all about the package, the x-factor. sums up the music industry as a whole.

Yeah you're right, sadly. It just seems ridiculous when rylan was put next to Kye- there was absolutely no contest.

It could be something else however. Remember wagner - he was crap but people where voting for him not because they liked him but because they wanted a crap one to win. I remember Simon being annoyed and I was thinking well you and the other judges let him go through.

I wonder if this could be a get the crap one in to annoy them move again.

[DPS]

Just found this! its only just gone up!

http://youtu.be/5exEJCQbbOE
http://youtu.be/5exEJCQbbOE

Hes own stuff is so much better than the stuff he sings on x factor!

[geo]

this is absolutely ******* ridiculous. how could both ella and james be in the bottom two, awful! :( feel so crappy.

i miss ella already eurgh rig

[Martin]

omg that was shocking!!! :O Those two so didn't deserve to be bottom 2 AT ALL :( Ella was my favourite!! :'(

[FlyingJesus]

Ella would bring nothing new to the music industry at all she's just a thin Adele

[Jurv]

ella definitely didn't deserve to go home with christopher and rylan still in the competition. RAGES. :@

[Foregetfuhl]

Christopher should have gone home.

[geo]

Christopher should have gone home.

christopher shouldn't even be in the comp

[Chris]

Poor Ella looked gutted. It must have been difficult for the judges to pick between James and Ella though.

[Stephen]

I can't believe tulisa said that it's a singing competition when the other week she said it wasn't just a singing competition and saved rylan

[iFlame]

terrible, really pissed off with tonights vote!

[Hollie]

Rylan should have gone weeks ago, he can't sing at all I don't understand why people are voting for him when good people who can actually sing are going out because of it urgh

[FlyingJesus]

Prob because he's the only one with any semblance of an X factor

[DPS]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jJdo5wA2zA

I love you James Arthur!!!!!!

[Kardan]

Rylan is amazing, in the top 4 acts now, hopefully he makes the final - imagine a Rylan vs Christopher final!

[DPS]

Eww Kardan please! no just no...

[Red]

Rylan is amazing, in the top 4 acts now, hopefully he makes the final - imagine a Rylan vs Christopher final!

I think if that happens, there shouldn't be any more xfactor ;/
Who the **** is voting for Christopher? omg I loved James and Ella :( I really don't know how they were in the bottom 2

[DPS]

I think if that happens, there shouldn't be any more xfactor ;/
Who the **** is voting for Christopher? omg I loved James and Ella :( I really don't know how they were in the bottom 2


Because people tend to think there safe, and dont VOTE!

Also Karma hit Tulisa lol for saving Rylan LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Kardan]

I think if that happens, there shouldn't be any more xfactor ;/
Who the **** is voting for Christopher? omg I loved James and Ella :( I really don't know how they were in the bottom 2

All the OAPs and the whole of Liverpool... And they were in the bottom because they got the least public votes :P

Rylan to win :)

People often vote for the crap ones. It happened with Jedward and Wagner

...because the x-factor has always been a popularity contest, and being the best singer doesn't equate to winning the competition/being top every week. really don't understand how people don't get this. year in, year out the same things happen...

yeah but ella was hugely popular which is what i don't get :p

But she was the least popular in the public vote which is what matters...

never said it didn't? :P

i'm just saying people are saying its popularity which, yeah it kinda is, but ella has tuns of fans and that's why i didn't understand it. guess it's just bc people thought she was safe.

[Kardan]

Tons of fans doesn't mean tons of votes.

[geo]

Tons of fans doesn't mean tons of votes.

i am aware of that, also? i may have misunderstood what @dirrty (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=34856); meant about popularity, but by the looks of it, ella is very popular.

well, she did seem popular, and i still think she is. a huge amount of people are upset she went.

[dirrty]

yeah but ella was hugely popular which is what i don't get :p
so she has a lot of fans who aren't even willing to vote for her? well lets hope those same fans stick with her when it comes to buying her single/album...

[FlyingJesus]

It's like saying you know a lot of numbers therefore should have won the lottery even though you didn't buy a ticket

[peteyt]

never said it didn't? :P

i'm just saying people are saying its popularity which, yeah it kinda is, but ella has tuns of fans and that's why i didn't understand it. guess it's just bc people thought she was safe.

As i've said a few times there's always the chance of people voting for the worst. I remember when Simon Cowell got annoyed because some people set up a group on facebook to keep Wanger in their aim basically to get as many people to vote for him and get him to win because they knew he wouldn't sell well, so he'd be a bad winner.

I really dislike the show these days - I mean how can Gary complain about the likes of Rylan yet is all over Christopher, was the same with Frankie last year.

The problem is that bad press is still press and its the bad singers that everyone seems to talk about

he should just bring ella back. i can imagine some of the judges not returning next year because of this.
i wont be watching xfactor tonightttt

[rileystringer]

rylan is crap...

[Chris]

Rylan has got to go this week, too much talent for him to stay any longer

[DPS]

he should just bring ella back. i can imagine some of the judges not returning next year because of this.
i wont be watching xfactor tonightttt

Dont think she should come back wouldnt be fair, shes good but i wouldnt want her to win.

#TeamJamesArthur

[DPS]

And tonight is the reason James should win!!!!!

#TeamJamesArthur

[Chris]

Some really strong performances tonight, thought Union J sang particularly well.

[geo]

i'm #teamrylan now, i'd love to see everyone going mad if he won

[:odey:]

i'm #teamrylan now, i'd love to see everyone going mad if he won

It really would be so funny.

I wanted Ella to win anyway, and now James or Jahmene are going to win & I hate both :(

[sophiethenerd]

My drama teacher used to teach Rylan so I am pro Rylan due to that. WOO RYLAN

[Stephen]

jahmene's voice goes straight through me as in if I ate it I'd **** it out straight away

******* awful

[Chris]

i'm #teamrylan now, i'd love to see everyone going mad if he won

That would be the end of the show LMAO. Theres a rumour that Simon will come back to boost ratings.

[Martin]

if rylan wins they may as well not bother next year

i think simon and some of the old judges need to return next year.

[dirrty]

if rylan wins they may as well not bother next year

i think simon and some of the old judges need to return next year.
all the more reason for rylan to win imo. plus, i'm sure the winners are cursed anyway. they usually fail after a couple of years.

[Martin]

all the more reason for rylan to win imo. plus, i'm sure the winners are cursed anyway. they usually fail after a couple of years.

yeah thats true, people like leon jackson etc never did too well haha

I think sometimes the runner ups do better or just as well

[Red]

OMG christopher through again :@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Thankgod james and jahmene are safe :(

[Stephen]

**** off did Christopher just get through

piece of **** someone needs to chuck him on a cruise and then sink the ship

[geo]

#teamrylan yessssssssss. i hate the way tulisa (i think) said when kye and rylan were in the bottom 2 that "it's not just about the singing, but the entertainment too" or some crap like that, but when ella was in the bottom she goes "it's a singing competition" like wtf tulisa, and it makes me mad because it is a singing competition, acts like rylan and christopher should go on britains got talent (well, maybe not christopher) as that's for entertainment too. :rolleyes: simon needs to sort the judges out

[Martin]

surprised that union J are in the bottom two

Surely Rylan has to go now?

[geo]

i doubt union j got the least amount of votes, their fans are crazy and seem like the type that would be picking up the phone to vote, because they're just like a really attractive boyband and stuff, so they've got a lot of popularity. i guess this is just a way to make more people vote for them next week to show that they're ~not safe~ as it's all rigged

[Stephen]

imo I don't think the bottom 2 are really the bottom 2

like rylan might have got the lowest votes but I think they randomly pick one of the top acts to go in the bottom 2 and then vote rylan out or let it go to the public vote knowing that rylan got the lowest votes

k that's ma fixfactor guess

[Martin]

omg that was beautiful :'(

[Chris]

Rylan gone booooom. So glad he's finally gone!

[SackRace]

Yesss, Rylan has gone

[RyRy]

Kinda gutted Rylan's gone just because he was funny, but end of the day it is a music show... Not surprising a one direction tribute band were in the bottom two though, they've no chance.

[geo]

imo I don't think the bottom 2 are really the bottom 2

like rylan might have got the lowest votes but I think they randomly pick one of the top acts to go in the bottom 2 and then vote rylan out or let it go to the public vote knowing that rylan got the lowest votes

k that's ma fixfactor guess

yeah that's what i thought, it'll just mean union j fans will vote more and more next week for them because they think they're not safe. they probably won't put jahmene in bottom 2 at all because it'll lower confidence and crap

[FlyingJesus]

Said it before and will say it again, Rylan was the only person in the competition who is actually an entertainer. The others who are left have been technical voices but are so so so so so so so bland

Seeing Rylan on friday anyway :P

[peteyt]

imo I don't think the bottom 2 are really the bottom 2

like rylan might have got the lowest votes but I think they randomly pick one of the top acts to go in the bottom 2 and then vote rylan out or let it go to the public vote knowing that rylan got the lowest votes

k that's ma fixfactor guess

While it wouldn't surprise me what really annoys me is how every season people go on about it being a fix - like I remember the rumour about Diana Vickers years back, how apparently it had been discovered that she was planned to win and it was a fix, then she got out. I know they probably trick us but it seems that some people just cry fix when someone they like goes out rather than just accept it.

Also a lot of people don't vote - including myself and so it's no surprise that some get low votes, I wouldn't waste my money on a show like this unless I knew someone in it. Which also brings another point - a lot of people will try and get votes for people they know regardless of their actual talent.

And theres no way hes going to sell enough music to keep him signed to Syco.

Yeah but compare him to the others left, hes a pretty weak singer. not to mention hes anoyying and always says something like " im here because im the peoples choice" are you ** people just feel sorry for you LOL

he is the peoples choice though. james arthurs voice isn't all that amazing but it's something xfactor hasnt seen for a while. i still rate chris highly.

He has an okay voice but its nothing amazing and he keeps getting bad songs to sing. In the VT's we often see Gary Barlow saying how he wants to annoy the judges, ignore their feedback and make them give more feedback, it's like he wants Christopher to be the laughing stock of the competition.

I'm sure Rylan could sell more than him.

no doubt rylan would sell more because most people these days will buy any crap that is put in front of them. but if xfactor was around in the 80's and 90's, chris would have been more respected. his voice is a little out dated but i still believe he deserves what he has achieved.

[geo]

how has chris just got through

[Krazybethw]

Honestly, I think Jahmene has the best voice out of the ones in the final. :L James arthur comes from where im from and tbh i dont even think its he's as great as everyones saying :L

[Stephen]

jahmene sounds like he sings through his nose all the time and has to rely on his father beating him and brother dying sob stories

[Red]

Eugh Deffo worst final ever with chris there. Will be a travesty if he beats james or jahmene.

[Andii]

Was Tulsa even singing because it sounded like either she had a sore throat or it wasn't good lol. And her neck didn't even move like when you sing it shows lol was having this argument with a mate :) lol

[j0rd]

Watched this years for the first time tonight, not bad seeing i'm heading to the final next week :P

[dirrty]

hope chris wins to piss everyone off

[Samantha]

I think they've done it so Chris wins, with Nicole having 2 in the final and not losing one until last week it would be a shock if she went on to lose the show/didn't mentor the winner. Therefore, I think that's why they've done it, also without the help of X Factor Christopher I don't think would be that big or would be like Susan Boyle, only releasing albums and such near Christmas; in all honesty I would love Jahmene to win as I think he's improved so much and grown in confidence and talent throughout the show. I didn't really like James to begin with until he sang Sexy and I know it but I wouldn't mind if he won either as I think all 3 (or at least 2) will go on to release albums catered to different genres.

[Chris]

Had a feeling Union J would go. Even if Chris does win, the others are bound to get a deal somewhere.

They cant "do" anything so he wins.

Its fact that they cant fix it, because it all gets checked. same with any comp show and comp on the tv.

So you have solid proof of that Jord? I know I don't have proof of rigging for Chris to win but like I said I only think they've done it :P.

ofcom would look into any misconduct (especially since they get thousands of complaints anyway, so its not like they're unaware of the circulating rumours). however, all reality tv shows dramatise, exaggerate & stage scenes for the entertainment factor (and especially through editing). even to the point of sending out fake press releases regarding certain acts to taint their image, or to improve it. all of this can affect the publics perception on a given act, and most definitely can influence voting habits. but no, the x-factor wouldn't ask the public to vote, and then disregard it and do whatever they want. that's far too damaging for the studio, producers & advertisers.

[MizzBex]

I'd like james or jahmene to win, but tbh it'd be pretty funny if chris did win. "doing it for me nan"

[Kardan]

These competitions aren't fixed.

[Matthew]

Don't want chris to win but I think all of the hate is a bit harsh

I thought this was a great performance:

[Martin]

I have a feeling Christopher will win, he seems to have quite a lot of support too.

Ideally I would like James or ChowMein to win though

[Shar]

AT LAST HE'S GONE
GO TEAM SCHERZY
don't mind who wins tbh love them both

[Samantha]

I don't mind who wins but I'd prefer Jahmene. Can't stop laughing at the camera man dropping camera (A).

[Chris]

Thank god he's gone! Not bothered who wins now, they both deserve it!

[Jurv]

i want james arthur to win but i wouldn't mind if jahmene wins, they both have brilliant voices and both deserve it

[geo]

as much as i love james' voice i want jahmene to win as james has got far too cocky.

[Seikou]

so glad chris has gone, jahmene to win now :)

[Red]

Thank God he went. Lmao at when he got booed by audience.
Love James and Jahmene, so don't mind who wins!

[Martin]

YAY so happy Chris went, he was awfulllll

Like most others, I don't mind who wins now, chowmein and james both have great voices! :D

[j0rd]

Got tickets for tonight but not going. So sad i'm going to miss my future-gf Rihanna

[orientalframe?]

i don't really watch it until towards the end but i'm so glad that christopher went :P

[Samantha.]

So glad Christopher went home last night, it was about time he got off my TV screen. He outstayed his welcome definitely.

James Arthur to win, loved him from the beginning!

[Red]

LMFAOOO Louis looks like he is enjoying James performance of let's get on on a bit too much.

[Inseriousity.]

god like to drag it out dont they

[Martin]

god like to drag it out dont they

Yep! :P Probably trying to get all the advertising revenue they can out of it haha, 2 hours is a tad long me thinks!! :O


CHOWMEIN FTW

[Red]

pleased for james but gutted for jahmene :'(He's so humble and lovely.

[BreakfastBacon]

James won

[Chris]

Aww he really did deserve it. I'm sure Jahmene will be snapped up pretty quickly.

[j0rd]

Wanted James to win anyway!
Really felt like I should have gone when Rihanna come on, still not as good as Coldplay last year though. They were AMAZING!

[geo]

james is far too boring and cocky though, like he just doesn't speak yawn, he's a good singer but he doesn't have a personality

[Aaron]

I'm delighted that James won, couldn't of picked any better two finalists.

Hope they both do well, don't want James to turn into previous winners of the show. :P

[Shar]

Didn't mind who won but I'm happy that James did and I love his winner's sing. His interpretation of impossible is good.

[MizzBex]

I thought both James and Jahmene were amazing singers, but I would've like Jahmene to win:[ owell.. James is still a worthy winner:]

[Red]

In week 1, Chris topped the vote with 28%, with Jahmene in second place.In week 2, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 3, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 4, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 5, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 6, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 7, Chris topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 8, James topped the vote with 40%, with Chris in second place.In week 9, James topped the vote and Jahmene was in second place.In week 10, James won with 54% of the vote to Jahmene’s 46%.The stats confirm voting leaks from earlier on in the series, which had claimed Christoper was topping the vote.It seems that being in the bottom two may have propelled James to victory, with fans deciding to pick up their phones the next week to keep him in the competition, and ultimately help him to win.

How on earth is chris top each week????????? omg
The voting has been so odd this series.

[peteyt]

Wanted Jahmene to win myself, thought he was different but James was also good. Just glad like many that Christopher hasn't won but I'm sure we'll have his "Songs For Nan" hitting the shops before long.

[Stephen]

maybe if james smiled I would like him but the fact that he didn't even try to smile after he won just makes me want to smack him in the face with a rotten tuna steak

[IceNineKills]

I wasn't too happy that chris didn't win. James just bores me really, many people already do what he does.

[MizzBex]

chris winning the vote for like 7 weeks.. what is that all about?!

[DPS]

How is James cocky? what because he hardly speaks? hes just shocked about the fame.

You dont know anything. go back to your cave.

Do you know James personally? If bot I don't believe you'd know if he was or wasn't cocky.

Funny you should say that, no i dont know him but i know someone close to him, close enough to have wrote a song about him.

Also for all you haters.

Fastest selling isnt really a big achievement as more and more people buy digitally each year, it all depends on first week sales. If i recall correctly i think 400,000 was near the top for x factor winners, i dont think he will get that high, i will have to find the list. I dont think he will do very well personally. Probably middle of the pack.

---------- Post added 11-12-2012 at 01:37 PM ----------

Actually, im way off, 742000 sales are needed for him to be the most successful x factor debut, hes only at 169000. Also the fact that it is a charity single is also slightly biased towards sales, so his total sales will be slightly inflated.

they mean within the first day of selling.

[Kardan]

Yes, but it isn't a big achievement considering the next X-Factor winner will likely be the biggest seller since more and more people download now rather than buying physical copies. A true measure is whether or not he can sunstain the sales, not just first day sales. And as I've already said, James' sales are unfairly inflated because it's a charity single.
