Alexandra's was really good. I disagree when people say she oversang it. Where are the rules saying it cannot be sung like that?
The music and lyrics are clearly meant to be sung in a slightly lower tone. Thats why JLS pulled it off better, though as I said neither were great.
I can guarantee if Alexandra came first then came Leonards version, you would think a lot differently
I doubt that for two reasons:

1.I have a genuine dislike for artists (bar Christina Aguilera obv, though even at very few times her) with huge powerful voices, hence me not being an Alexandra fan, nor a particularly big fan of Mariah, Leona, Whitney or Beyoncé. It's also why I like Diana.

2.I don't actually like the Leonard Cohen version.

Agreed 100% .. it was up to her how she sung it, she sounded amazing and theres no use complaining over it now.. shes won people voted for her, Diana didnt win, thats just the way things turned out! [For those who keep saying Diana sung it better etc..] :P

Whats this got to do with Diana?

I'm not bitter that she won, especially seen as I made this before she had won, I just think it is a terrible choice for the winner.

Besides from them ruining it, it just isn't a good song as it doesn't showcase either of the Final Three's voices particularly well, there's no "big" moment or power note, like previous winner songs. Plus it doesn't really have any relevance to the show or winning, unlike the others.

They clearly only chose it because they thought Diana would win. When Dian was eliminated, I just thought to myself "Ha! Your really ****ed now!"

Thats what me and my mum said. Funny how it seemed like a perfect song choice for Diana lol. And thats true actually the song actually dosent have any reference to winning etc..
But then again i wasnt familiar with the song before X Factor [] but now after hearing it a few times i love it.
