Tonight we crown the winner of the seventh season of The X Factor, but who will it be?
The show opens with our three finalists singing the Take That track Never Forget. One Descended Testicle sound grey, Matt still sounds a bit strained but this doesn't suit Rebecca at all. And here come the boys themselves (my god they were just on Strictly - they're busy tonight!) and they sound fantastic!
And now our compulsory clip package of all of last nights performances..... *yawn*
Our first finalist to take to the stage is Matt Cardle and he's singing Katy Perry's Firework. He's an excellent singer but he's still not recovered from the flu an I hope that doesn't go against him tonight. It's a brilliant performance but who the he'll dressed him? A black shirt and yellow trousers?! Judges all love him and I hope he goes on to win.
The second act to take to the stage are One Direction and their song for survival is Natalie Imbruglia's Torn. The harmonies are all there, but there have been some notable "out of tune" moments from Liam and Zain. Again I question why Zain is given any solo pieces to sing if he's such a weak singer. The judges are fawning over them as usual, but I do have to agree that they have a great future ahead of them.
Our third and final act singing for survival will be Rebecca *yawn* Ferguson and performing Annie Lennox's Sweet Dreams. I've made no secret that I think everything sounds the same where Rebecca is concerned. That said, it was a powerful performance an showed off her vocals perfectly. Judges comments are brilliant but I think Louis might do himself a mischief if he doesn't calm down.
And now a special round up of the audition stages of the competition and all of our favorite losers are live on stage!
VOTE LINES ARE NOW FROZEN!
We will now say goodbye to the third place finalist and find out who will be singing one more time!
The first person safe is MATT CARDLE!
The second act safe is REBECCA FERGUSON
And that means that One Direction have fallen at the final hurdle. They'll still do well from this - I'm sure that Simon already has their album planned!
VOTE LINES HAVE RE-OPENED
Our remaining finalists will bow perform their winners single, but who will secure the win?
Matt is the first performer up and even with his sore throat he sounds fantastic. I like the fact that this year, each finalist gets a different song to sing rather than one sing to suit all of them. He's really put everything into that song, even dropping to the floor at the end. Judges say it's his best performance and Dannii has tears in her eyes. COME ON MATT!
Now Rebecca and her possible winners single. It's a slow track which, even with the mighty X Factor juggernaut behind it, could have real problems in the chart. That aside, it's a flawless vocal from the Liverpudlian starlet and she wins hands down in the style stakes. Judges are saying that this final is too close to call.
Now, let's break the tension with a quick performance from Take That.
VOTE LINES HAVE NOW CLOSED
The results are in! Ooooooh my nerves are gone! We can now reveal that the winner of The X Factor 2010 is MATT CARDLE! I am delighted and will be pre-ordering his single RIGHT NOW!
Well that's it for another year of The X Factor. Make sure you come back next August so we can start it all over again!
