I'm extremely happy with it all. I'm glad Andrew and Signature got a look-in, but ultimately George winning was the best possible outcome for me :bigsmile:

...George...
:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::c heer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I am so happy right now! He soo deserved it! I actually shouted "Yes!" when they said his name. Aww, just so happy for him! He was amazing and I just know winning this is going open so many windows for him.

Yay
I was soo pleased when his name was read out
He deserved it :)

Escala/Faryl will benefit loads anyway. I think they'd have had an unfair advantage in winning overall. Having said that, I did expect Escala to win.

Andrew clearly picked up a massive fanbase, and well done to him. He doesn't seem to radiate star quality like George does though. I still wish George had saved his performance till tonight, but it didn't matter in the end. His determination and talent got him through! And I have always been a fan of Signature, so I'm really glad they were the runners-up.

Overall, I'm really pleased George won.

Faryl and Andrew will get a good future, Im sure of it.

Looking around at other forums it seems that people are voting on the fact that they "don't want another singer to win" which is a shame. People should be voting on talent, rather than who won last year.

I think he deserved it. I love the remix version of Singin' in the rain too - it's #20 on iTunes, so I just downloaded it. :hugesmile:

Really? #20? Thats really good, I understand though because if its played during shows that get massive ratings then people download it. Eg. When Hope sang Hurt from Christina Aguilera last year in the X factor(which was a bit bad singing) it went to #39 and that was a whole year after the song was released.

I'm trying to find it, who is it remixed by?

Kate & Gin have been signed up to appear at Crufts next year, with the doggy dancing. So good news for them :spin2:

Mint Royale

OMFG! I am SO happy! :cheer2:

I really really wanted him to win and he deserved it! :bigsmile:

When they announced him as the winner I was like "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!". :tongue:

Probably the only thing you could hear!

But well done to him - he really deserved it and I'm so glad a singer didn't win! :cheer2:

I just re-watched the vid of the reults..

and George did say to Andrew ' You did *******kig good ' !

Im still very happy.

Yeh me too! :cheer2:

I still can't believe he did it! I'm so happy for him! :bigsmile:

I really thought it was going to be a singer, but when they read his name out I literally screamed. :tongue:

It has to be one of the best finals of anything I have ever seen!

UPDATE: Just been looking at the ratings for the final, and this is what the 2 shows recieved:

18:50 - Final performances: 11.0 million (peaked at 13 million)

21:30 - Final results: 13.1 million (peaked at 13.7 million)

Series average: 9.6 million

WOW! :shocked:

Those ratings are amazing
The most watched show of 2008
The most watched episode of a talent show this century

Simon will be happy

My god! Those are amazing ratings! I wonder how much percentage George won by.

I won €18.75 on George,but I should have waited longer I bet €5 at 11/4 if I bet the fiver at 20/1 I would have won €100! But anyways,I'm far more pleased for George winning than I am about winning some money.

That's what I want to know! :bigsmile:

I'm so happy for him and I really didn't think he was going to win after looking at the odds! But he did! :cheer2:

He deserves it the most out of all the acts and I'm also glad another singer didn't win! :bigsmile:
