but I do felt that[spoiler]their fan base grew over weeks. If base on cannonball performance, Marcus did so much better for me. But a nice change for a group to win.However, if Marcus worked hard like Olly (he's done better than the forgotten winner Joe), he can do better than them.[/spoiler]

I agree in a way: [spoiler]I think Little Mix will do well as winners, partly because it's different as no group has won before, and partly because they are so talented as well as likeable. Joe was talented but he was not quite mainstream enough in my view. I'm not convinced Marcus will be particularly successful regardless of winning or coming second - he's already talking about wanting to write, no mention of singing![/spoiler]

Thank you for using the spoiler as just watched it now and the winners did deserve to win. Both lots of finalists were very good.

*or Wham!

Notice how no one has mentioned the quality of singing for that song.
I didn't think Marcus did Last Christmas justice I'm afraid, Wham/George Michael shouldn't really be covered either very difficult to match up to the original, Little Mix's Silent Night was very good though, but I think Marcus sang Cannonball better than they did.

Voting figures throughout the series - Unbelievably, well for me anyway Janet topped the poll for more weeks than anyone else and Misha B was bottom just as many times!

BTW saw an interview of various people after the US Xfactor show. Simon said that Rachel was completely convinced that she was going to win; Nicole said that Rachel was the only one that could stop her crying (boo hoo Nicole, grow up) and she couldn't believe "my little Rachel is going". Umm. Does she not understand she could have ensured her staying??! The mind boggles. Nicole and Paula are getting death threats after voting off Drew.
Also, apparently Disney want to meet with Rachel.

I think that's all! Ha!

How odd, they interrupted the results halfway to have Nicole Scherzinger sing a song.
