No Rhydian should have been third. His performances was at best dull and in the Duet he was out sung by the female opera singer who was class.

No way!!!

3rd: Leon
2nd: Rhydian or SD
1st: SD or Rhydian

That was my prediction.
I'm not suprised that Rhydian's in the top two, but Leon?!

No. SD should have come second or first, I'm just glad Leon won eventually. All three finalists will do well I expect.

Not at all.

I was hoping for a Same Difference/Rhydian final two, with either of them winning.

Never Leon, though. Should've been out in the first week based on his performance.

I don't think they should have gotten to the final. I only really thought they were good when they sang Nothing's Gonna Stop Us in, and that was by the final 6 I think. :|

They shouldn't have even been in the final twelve. Out of the three finalists they were by far the worst. Sarah sung out of tune almost all of the time.

Even if I'm in the minority, I think they should have been third. I don't dislike them though: they creeped me out at first, but later I realised they're just having fun and singing quite well on top of that - not to mention picking up a strong fanbase. Whilst I think a combination of talent and marketability should be considered in terms of an XF winner, SD only really appeal to youngsters, or those who are into really cheesy things. It just cannot appeal to everyone - it gets difficult when you limit what you do and rely on gimmicks too much.

Even if the same can be argued for Rhydian (opera), he has shown some variations, and also has a lot more talent as well which is extremely important and refreshing. As for Leon, he took everyone by surprise and proved them wrong, showing a combination of talent, marketability as well as a lot of potential. Bearing all that in mind, SD should have been third - but I think all three acts could do well in the future with the right management. I was still very shocked at the result though - I thought SD would go further than third.
