And it's pretty obvious she'll be Christmas number one. It would be a laugh if she wasn't though.


Shayne Ward was number 1 for Christmas last year..... I don't see why Leona would'nt make it to the top spot for Number 1 this year.... It's now just over a week to find out and we will know who is Christmas Number 1 !

Me neither, especially since she is miles better than he was.

I hated the song when Ray sang it but loved it when Leona sang it.

Yes, I must say, it did sound different, when Leona sang it after Ray! Cool

Next Saturday:
The Price is Right.. Creature Comforts.. Family Fortunes - Been Framed - Gareth Gates - Millionaire - Stars in their Eyes.
Its not bad I suppose some of its the normal cr*p.

I wish the X Factor final was next week.. head to head with Strictly. Also they had three finalists.. instead of two.

Im so glad Steve Brookstien is slagging of this show on BBC Radio right now. Its all stage managed. Im glad Leona won, but will she still be around in 2 years time? Rolling Eyes

Well she should be, not that there's any guarantee she will be. She certainly has a hugely greater chance of standing the test of time than Steve and Shayne Ward though.

An unbelievable final and a fantastic result! Leona definitely deserved to win and I think she will be the most successful artist out of all these X Factor/Pop Idol shows.

Simon Cowell certainly had lots to smile about tonight! What with 8 million phone calls putting money into his pockets and bagging the best ever winner of the X Factor, he has much to brag about tonight!

And so will ITV - this should easily be the most watched X Factor Final out of the 3 that we have seen, as Strictly Come Dancing's final is next week. So no head to head this year! At least 14 million viewers I reckon!!!


Yep the ratings must have been brilliant - if 8-9 million people just voted, imagine how high the figures will be!


Well to be fair they had 10 million votes last year but not as many viewers. However, it benefits from not clashing with SCD this year so they may be higher. Digital Spy say it was an estimated 12 million who watched.

There's no reason why she can't be, all she needs to do is work at it. I mean these shows can create long terms successes, Girls Aloud is still going strong as a good example of that, and Will Young is still poping up every once in a while. She could make a very big star in America, and I'm sure Simon will take advantage of that. I can see it now, 1 month from now listening to her on Z100 (for those of you who don't know, it's an extremely popular radio station in New York City, one of the most listened to in the country).

Estimated on what? I'd bank on higher. This is Digital Spy talking...
