I saw the performances, but didn't watch the results show as had a DVD to watch with DH and DC.

My money's on Jordin. Did she win or was it Blake?

Jordin.

ptangyangkipperbang · 26/05/2007 10:08

Jordin. I only know because teletext announced it earlier in the week. ITV2 will repeat it at least 16 times tho!

GrandMasterHumphreyLyttelton · 26/05/2007 10:09

It's on ITV today - 1120am.

terrible final. Kelly Clarkson forgets her words, Carrie Underwood sings out of tune. Bette Middler truly awful. Best bit was Tony Bennett and Blake doing a double with a beat singer. Melinda though shows everybody else up with her bit

faeriemam · 26/05/2007 17:36

was the most boringggggg drawnnnnnnnn-outttttttttttt final i have ever seen...i ended up fast forwarding halfway through the songs... yawn

StinkyPete · 26/05/2007 21:45

fsmail, totally agree on carrie underwood being out of tune - she was absolutely shocking.
poor Blake singing that awful winner's song; bet he was praying not to win!!!

StinkyPete · 26/05/2007 21:46

wasn't fantasia notable by her absence? only winner not there.

missgriss · 26/05/2007 21:47

I had to leave the room when Bette Midler came on. She was appalling!

Toothyboy · 26/05/2007 21:50

I was thinking last night that it's so unfair that the winner's song is always a really bland, commercial pop song - always better suited to the more commercial singer.

Isn't it about time in these competitions that they have different "winner" songs written for each finalist that better suits their voices and styles?

Still, I didn't mind who won last night as they were my top 2 faves anyway!

Toothyboy · 26/05/2007 21:50

And why have we heard nothing from Bo? He was fantastic.

StinkyPete · 26/05/2007 22:02

toothy - ooo yes i loved bo. also kat from last year.
know what you mean about type of song suggests who will win

I managed to see the repeat yesterday evening. Luckily, had just finished another DVD and switched to ITV2 to see if AI was still on. Of course it was, agree, these results shows are so long and drawn out. They really tear the arse out of it. I didn't see Bette Midler, but did see Kelly Clarkson. I used to really like her, but she's gone too screechy. Apparently, her new album has been slated. I wondered about Fantasia too, she's not been seen hide nor hair of since she won, has she? Nice to see Reuben.

I'm glad Jordin won, she was definately better on the night. Isn't she huge though? I don't mean fat, just huge. She dwarfs anyone she stands beside.

i walked into the room while bette midler was mid-meltdown. didn't even recognise her at first..thought she was one of the idol "rejects" they bought back to do a number. and was with the leatherette skirt?

Bette Midler put me in mind of Ivy Tilsley on a drunk night at the Rovers.
