X FACTOR- it's the FINAL!! It's been a looooooong journey- but we've made it our own.

[fRaahhnkincense]

So, after 4 months, it's finally here!

Will the winner be Pugsy, Hey-Ho or Big Hair?
Odds on favourite (surprise!) is Fleur.

This is what they will be singing-

X Factor 2014 songlist – Week 10 / Final songs
Andrea Faustini

Feeling Good (originally by Nina Simone)

Song of the series: Earth Song (originally by Michael Jackson)

Winner's Single – I Didn’t Know My Own Strength (originally by Whitney Houston)

Ben Haenow

Demons (originally by Imagine Dragons)

Song of the series: Man In The Mirror (by Michael Jackson)

Winner's Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)

Fleur East

Can’t Hold Us (originally by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis)

Uptown Funk (originally by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars)

Winner's Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)


Pugs has been dumped, clearly, as after weeks of 'It would be nice to see you do something different' yada yada- the single he will record if he wins- is a Whitney song!!

The other single is not the most exciting choice of winning single. And I'm not sure it suits Fleur.

I have to go to the school Christmas fair this afternoon. The joy. And I'm driving so can't even get pissed have a mulled wine or 6.

And Mark Ronson must be thrilled to bits by all this free publicity. MIght backfire on Cowell- Ronson's version of Uptown funk could still be Christmas number one.

NEW THREAD*

[fRaahhnkincense]

I think in honour of the final, i will start a sparkly new thread- and be careful not to put anything spoilery in the title

[Lagoonablue]

Bisgetti. Jumping on your highjack.

I am from Tynemouth. Much nicer than Low Fell. For a start it's next to the sea.

[Jill2015]

DP says he bets chezza fezza has beat her up

Eh?!?

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

Evening everyone. Had to do real life tonight, it was most odd.

I can't find the final on ITV player so off to read the thread for the "highlights".

[BOFster]

I love it when we reach an understanding. Peace out.

[butterflymacqueen]

CalamitouslyWrong- my apologies then- I do get you now and agree with you absolutely.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

I think my taking the piss out of farage may have been misinterpreted. I was attempting to channel the farage logic, which would almost certainly have Ben as his favourite because he's male, british (and he drives a van - farage probably approves heartily of van driving, so long as it's not EU migrants doing it). He'd have been angered if pugsy won. Those Migrants coming over here, clogging up our m4, winning talent contests...

I personally do not have kipper tendencies (eurgh at the thought) and probably neither does Ben (who knows? Who cares?).

I was merely remarking that if we cannot upset farage any longer, we'll have to settle for only upsetting simon. Mildly, as he'll make loads of money regardless.

So Fleur is going to win then. What a surprise. Andrea was robbed. Although he will be a huge star in Italy I bet.

What's all this Ben and UKIP stuff about?

[butterflymacqueen]

CalamitouslyWrong. So you think because Ben is British and Male (oh yes, and white), makes him a preferred winner?! How crass!!!!-

[ShellyF]

I would have liked to have had Ben and Pugsy in the final.Not fond of Fleur, but I do think that she sang All about the base much better than the original"artist".

[Coco0123]

Pug was Smug. It may have had a huge impact on how things went with Mel not being there 'selling' him so aggressively. ...

[XmasTimeMammariesandWine]

Ben looks good but has an ugly voice

[CattyCatCat]

I an genuinely saddened by my beloved Pug being ousted though.

[CalamitouslyWrong]

Well, that's because you're basing your decision on more than the 'bloody furriners' position. The kippers were presumably going for the best of a bad bunch.

[CattyCatCat]

I'd have a go on Ben's Disco stick.

[Coco0123]

Catty

[ShellyF]

I like Ben and am definitely not UKIP

[CalamitouslyWrong]

I'd imagine that stevi was the real kipper favourite.

FIL is coming up tomorrow for the week. I'll have to persuade him that he wants to watch the xfactor final.

[NoisyBrain]

well I'll be back tomorrow, but only for the entertainment on this thread

[CalamitouslyWrong]

I would imagine that Ben is the kipper preferred winner, what with being british and male. Although there will be eyebrows raised at his very much not british nonna.

[AWholeLottaNosy]

Just shows this isn't a talent/singing competition. Still think Pugsy will do now tho...bye bye Pugsy XX

[Bisgetti]

Night everyone, me either Raah!
