The X Factor finale 2009 - part 2

Olly Murs for Simon Cowell
Vs
Joe McElderry for Cheryl Cole.

I really hope Joe wins...

Kicking things off with all 12 finalist acts miming to Never Forget. Did I hear someone say pointless?

Round One (or Four?) - Personal favourites of previous performances.

1. Olly - "Twist & Shout"
A surprisingly good job, much better than last time.

2. Joe - "Don't Stop Believin'"
The most personality he's ever put into a song, and a great song and that. Perfect vocals.

Next up, Alexandra, JLS and Leona, the true X Factor success stories.

Round Two (or Five) - The winner's song - "The Climb".
So the rumours were true.

3. Olly.
The boy done quite good with such a big song. Far from flawless though. Unfair in a way that they have to sing the same song, this is so clearly picked for Joe.

4. Joe.
Left me surprisingly cold. Didn't put in the emotion that Olly did, but you can't fault that voice.

Next up... Macca!?!?! F*** that, where's Madonna?

And the winner is...

JOE! Hurrah!

See you back here next year. All none of you.
