X FACTOR - it's the FINAL (still)- Someone is going to win- most of all Simon.

[fRaahhnkincense]

Here we go, the last thread. The final curtain. No more Pugs which does mean no more Whitney, or Mariah, though. Every cloud...

A re-cap of the songs-

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

Winners Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)

Fleur East

Uptown Funk (originally by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars)

Winners Single – Something I Need (originally by One Republic)

I do like the 'originally' bit here- like, for evermore the songs will be known as the 'Fleur East* version, or something

Rumours are Ben is now the favourite, I'm struggling to care.

Let's settle this - FIGHT!

So, for the final time, see y'all later.

Well ladies it's been a giggle !!

I am indescribably happy!!!

Ok who is NOT rushing to buy the winners single.

She'll be fine. He'll be doing Yodel in 6 months

She actually can't believe she didn't win.

I'm pleased he won.

Simon will still market Fleur though. It won't make much difference for her.

He won't last long, too boring but fleur will be a huge star.

Wanted her to win but glad she didn't as she now has more freedom to do her own thing.

Well, it's been MARVELLOUS. Only because of you lot. Special mention to guest star Rudy- we salute you.

I'll miss you all.

Simon won't let fleur walk away. In the end she will probably do better than Ben.

No slithy - Sam Smith gave them advice telling them not to do anything they didn't want to do.

He knows Simon's game

She's acting like she's won, fuck off the stage now dear

Debut only single, quite possibly.
I'm sure Fleur will be ok- although she is contractually obliged to do the tour, and can't release anything in the meantime.

Oh god though, Fleur reaction very cringey

He is by far a better singer than Fleur. Strip away all the stupid bras and abs and Fleur was nothing much. he can stand still and belt it out.

Ah well, there we go until next year.

Who will be the judges? Who will be the contestants? Who will still remember HeyNow? Who will give a shit? We just don't know.

See y'all then!

Fleur will be on all the talk shows tomorrow talking about her win. Who do you think will break it to her, Lorraine, Phill or Mandy Holden?

Fleur won't have to release an album of cover versions, or have to wait a year to release another single.

Awks

Oh and good luck to his current girlfriend

Oh lovely Ben, remember all those nice looking young chaps who won it before you - Shane Ward, Matt Cardle, Joe McElderry, Leon Jackson? Propping up bargain bins across the nation...

Oh I'll miss watching his come to bed eyes every week!

Well, thank you everyone for making the threads such fun.

See y'all next year

Where's the gate crashes of previous contestants

Fleur will do better than Ben
