Congratulations to Leona, winner of the X Factor tonight. Thoroughly deserved in my eyes - she's been consistently good and her vocals are flawless. I was in tears last week when she sang 'Over the Rainbow' and in total awe when she appeared to make light work of two Whitney Houston classics, Nielson's 'Without You' and Eric Carmen's 'All By Myself'.I very much hope that Leona gets the album she deserves - not just another crappy one full of cover versions. She's far better than that, but it is a worry considering the past two winners. No doubt the single will be Christmas No.1 but it's what happens after that that counts.
I'd also like to say how gracious and gentlemanly Ray was in defeat, a true pro - I hope he gets his reward for being such a charming and entertaining contestant.
Shame it's all over for another year - as always it's been pure entertainment from the auditions right up to the end. After Strictly Come Dancing finishes next week, there'll be nothing much to watch on a Saturday night. :-(
One of my fave performances - I will always love you

I did hear what Gary said and he is SO SO right. Good on him for being so forthright to Simon's face.
