[Pete.]

Sam was amazing and a raw talent she had the X factor. Haters are gonna hate

[Mystic Mock]

Here's how Skyscraper should be done.

Demi shade

[Vanessa]

I was a bit underwhelmed by the song. I like Sam, but i wouldn't buy that version.

[Marsh.]

Here's how Skyscraper should be done.

Weak.

[james130]

Good winner, still think Hannah should have won though

:worship:
Queen Hannah
The best of vocal of the year.
As a winner...
Sam was the best of an absolutely dire bunch, (After Hannah)

[Marsh.]

So Gary is the only judge ever to never win.

Well, apart from Rowland but we won't count that fail.

[Mystic Mock]

Weak.

Why? Because he actually sung the song?

[joeysteele]

I am actually surprised that she got just over a million votes in the whole final.

Doesn't bode well for long success since millions watch X Factor and likely most vote multiple times so it would only take about 150.000 people voting about around 7 times each to hit a million votes.

It would seem not that many bother to vote and considering they have been voting since the start of last nights show,therefore over 24 hours, the figures seem quite low to me.

It was a predictable final and I am just I guess pleased Sam won tonight but for me she was nowhere the best performer of the whole series.

[Marsh.]

No, your argument is weak.

The point of a cover is to sing the song your own way. You've posted a video of a different kind of singer. Who, from that performance, has a weaker voice than Sam.

Sam Bailey has a more powerful voice than Omar but that does not make it better. If she was in the year that Omar was in she would've been one of the first 4 out.

I thought Nicholas sang better to be honest.

Well that's your opinion, it's not really relevant to the thread is it comparing her to a random contestant from abroad?

She has a more powerful voice and therefore is going to sing songs differently to someone with a smaller range. That's just common sense.

She shouted through the song. And I agree with Vanessa that Nicholas was better tonight as he you know did the requirement of actually singing and not shouting.

[Kazanne]

I like Sam but preferred Nicholas's songs tonight.Sams first song was epic, that second one is awful,I wouldn't buy it,she should have had The Power of love as her winners song.

[Marsh.]

Technically, no she didn't shout.

So, you didn't like her, that's your opinion fair enough but there's no "way she should have sang the song".

[Vanessa]

I thought it was just me. Nicholas sang way better tonight.

[Benjamin]

LOL at you hating people say that Luke shouts yet you say it about sam.

[Vanessa]

I think Sam was good, but Nicholas was better.

[Marsh.]

I could understand people preferring Luke, but Nicholas? :laugh2:

[Pete.]

When will the percentages going to be announced? Tonight?

[joeysteele]

Hi Kazanne :xyxwave:, I agree as to the songs,I preferred Nicholas's single song rather than Sam's definitely.

I just didn't want another sort of Leon Jackson moment for the winner,I liked Leon's voice but I feel he was stifled by the controls of the contract the X Factor winner has to deal with.

Nicholas will more than likely do much better coming 2nd than winning in my opinion and it wouldn't surprise me if he had a longer career than Sam too.

[Vanessa]

I could understand people preferring Luke, but Nicholas? :laugh2:

he did well tonight, i hate to admit it.

[Mystic Mock]

LOL at you hating people say that Luke shouts yet you say it about sam.

Because Luke has a Rockers voice that's why I find it annoying when people call any Rocker a shouter.

And as someone that liked Abi because she didn't replicate songs, wtf are you doing supporting Sam Bailey when all she did was replicate songs.:joker:

And even if you look at the original song Sam Bailey didn't even come close to how it was sung.

[Brother Leon]

Not shocked at Sam,Nicholas,Luke and RC being regular top 3 contestantts, but Hannah was a pleasant surprise.

It's a personal preference. Some people like Sam, others prefer Luke or Sam. I like Luke, because i'm into his style of music. :blush:

[Kazanne]

No he was definitely better although Sam did The Power of Love really well.that winners song of hers is dire,I much preffered Nicholas's

Well Ukturtle was basically calling me a hypocrite yet I saw a post about 4 weeks ago when he said this isn't "Replicate A Song Factor" to defend Abi yet once Abi goes he supports Sam Bailey.:joker:

I have been supporting Sam as well as Abi since week 2. Sam can sing, very well infact and the fact you need to be so bitter about her in pretty much every post you make. You make a thread moaning about her and how ****e it has been you have to expect backlash, even you are not that niave.


Get over the fact your fave didn't win and move on.

[Heaven = Winner]

Where was Lorna? Baby girl was SNUBBED.

I'm only ever negative about Sam Bailey because of all the Overs we have had over the years that have failed to win yet Sam Bailey wins who was very much an impersonator.

And I'm not bitter that my favourites didn't win, I'm just pissed off with Sam Bailey fans acting as if you are tone deaf if you don't like her, and Nicholas was better tonight and that is just the truth if you like it or not I'm afraid.
