And this as well..

It's a travesty the X Factor final this year - an absolute travesty 

Oh and the moment when Joe outsang George Michael.
Sorry but this lot are no way as talented as these three - Matt just does not have a strong voice. He could no way do this song - with or without a throat infection.
The show needs to go - it is not about talent anymore. It is about gimmick.

I have finished ranting now

Imo, Alexardra is the best vocal to come from XF to date .... forget Leona ..... Alex

and that perfromance with beyonce is yet to be bettered on the XF .... no one else has come even close.

It just makes me cross cos in other years none of those 3 would have been near the final.

Loved all those clips, Issy. 

Stacey made me laugh, when she introduced the Buble.
I thought she said, "The tallest man I ever met", instead of the 'coolest'! 

Anyway, I love Rebecca's voice, and Matt's too, but there is something about Rebecca's that I feel has a special quality and I could listen to it all day.



Her voice does remind me of Billie Holiday's - not perfect, just something about it.

The thing is Blizzie, there has been a lot of talk about this being a music competiton not a personality competition, However I do not think you can have one without the other.
What Rebecca lacks ( IMO) is depth and soul. She just sings -there is nothing else there.
And for that reason I do not think she could ever be compared to Nina Simone or Billie Holiday - she is a "Stars in their Eyes" poor imitation.
She has been packaged to be that. I have no doubt that she will be successful but she has nothing truly original.

As for Matt - I absolutely am not getting the Matt love - he just has a mediocre voice at the best and the last few weeks has been truly dreadful - IMO.
Those clips I have posted, just showed to me how low the standard has become this year.

Aww Alexandra made me fill up a bit
