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

Here's how Skyscraper should be done.

Demi shade

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

Weak.

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

So Gary is the only judge ever to never win.

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

Why? Because he actually sung the song?

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.

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.

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.

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".

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

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

I think Sam was good, but Nicholas was better.

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

When will the percentages going to be announced? Tonight?

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.

he did well tonight, i hate to admit it.

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.

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