Alexandra wins X Factor, damn it.
I so wanted JLS to win it but hey ho they`ll make it big time, I sure of it.
Alex`s song is available to download from midnight tonight and wins the recording contract.

I think if JLS, who i tipped to win at the first audition, had been able to do Umbrella as there best with Rihanna as planned it might have been different. She pulled out at the last minute and the Beyonce song won it for her.

Fair point bbc. I didn't know that. Very unfair on them.
Have to say, I agree with DG8P about Louis Walsh trying to change them in to a black WestLife. He even had them bleddy singing with them tonight. Let them be R&B and they'll have hits. Dress them in suits, get them to stand up from the chair or walk forward when the volume changes and they'll lose their fan base, look like tw@s and be bargain bin fodder quicker than you can say Michelle McManus.

Alex has been consistently the best from day one of the knockout phases - glad she won and sad I was so bloody busy at work to watch it.
Damn Barcelona v Real
Damn Mosconi Cup
Damn New Zealand v West Indies
Damn UK Championship snoooker
Damn Klitschko v Rahman
Damn Wolverhampton races

X Factor is about the only reality show I enjoy. The audition's stage is hilarious, this time I've watched it all the way through. Alex has been fabulous, she can certainly sing of course, but she is also adaptable and was consistently the best. I really think she will be a huge star.
But besides all that I was disapointed that the song X Factor chose as the winner's song is a cover. Of course thats not Alex's fault, but I adore Jeff Buckley's version of the beautiful 'Hallelujah' So I joined a group on Facebook to try and get Jeff Buckley's version at no1. I've just downloaded it...(even though i already have it)
