    I'm right there with you. No point in watching this sham any longer.

    well, to be fair. she has been the best from day one. like Carrie,
    when she auditioned, you knew she was the winner.

    Yeah, kinda that "too polished, professional" sort that reminds me of Samantha Jade the year they fixed that illegal farce on the Australians!

    You can't tell me Simon and his people weren't working toward Louisa on his label for years now, it was so damn obvious.

    The results are in, the voting stats are in, and no surprises.

    Not really. Putting the novelty act in the Grand Final did ensure a 15-point win.

    That said, that she didn't win every week was a bit of a surprise.

    Thanks Kat. I had stopped watching and as you said, no surprises. I
    really don't understand Britain's voting... although the same can be
    said here of many American Idol seasons.

    What I don't get is how Reggie N' Bolie got to 2nd place in the
    competition with what amounts to a novelty act getting far more votes
    than really, really good acts like 4th Impact and possibly one of the
    best vocalists ever on X-Factor, Seann Miley Moore.

    I really liked Seann, but once he had gone, tbh, I was really rather
    fond of RnB. Well actually I was always rather fond of them, but I
    wasn't expecting them to last quite so long! But I think they did just
    because they were such fun to watch. Which was more than could be said
    for most of the rest.



    Oh well, it's all subjective isn't it? And I guess the bottom line is
    that Lauren really did deserve to win, she probably has the potential
    to become a true pop star at her age and with her look and sheer vocal ability.


    Maybe she did - and I preferred her - but it was Louisa who won. :-)

    Looking over the voting stats -- if these are indeed real and accurate
    -- it's clearly obvious that the judges' comments really do influence
    many, many voters. One week the judges praise Che to high Heaven for
    a bad performance and the same week they slightly throw Louisa a bit
    of shade, and he gets more votes that week.
    I'm surprised that more people aren't loyal to their favorites in
    their voting.

    I assumed you did. :-) But as I said I preferred Lauren personally so
    it was too good to ignore.

    Lot of stuff in the papers about Louisa and her voice coach/manager etc.
    Not quite sure why she needed the X Factor!

    I think they are. It's the swing votes that affect things like that.
    There are plenty of people who have no clear favourite, or who, like me
    ( not that I voted at all until the final), have lost the one they liked
    best, who will vote on the performance, or be affected by the judges'
    comments. They are as likely to swing over and support someone who gets rubbished as one who gets praised, but also to assume the obvious
    favourite is safe anyway.


    On Sunday night I did wonder just how close the voting was, when Simon
    praised RnB and even said they could win. Take away their underdog
    status ( the GBP loves an underdog) to help Louisa.

    Whatever, I won't be buying anything by Louisa, I am sure she can sing,
    but currently she doesn't sing in a way I like to listen to. RnB? I
    like /watching/ them, they make me smile ( apart from that dirge of a
    winner's song), and feel good. I hope they get tv work.
