    Where was Diana?!?!?! Christ, she is supposed to run out in tears and declare her undiying love for Eoghan!

    Ah well, sad to see him go but best are left. Alex is definately the best of the rest. Without a doubt.

    unless Alex pulls out something really special, I think JLS have it.

    I love this song but its a shocking choice for x-factor winners. im dreading Alexs version. And im dreading hearing whoever wins on the radio over and over again.

    Jeff Buckley all the way.

    I liked it years ago, but it's been covered and performed by countless singers and bands to the point that it's lost its charm. :(

    They have done pretty much the Bon Jovi version which I love but what is the story with the other guys pretending miming to make it look like a group effort because I only heard one voice.. (Imean in the verses)

    Nail.On.the.head.

    Alexs a bit better but similarly souless. although she will probably start belting then it will be "powerful" according to the judges

    This is such a great song and it just doesn't sit right as the winners of a reality TV show's song. Surely they should be trying to put something original out there to distinguish them from the bunch of karoake wannabes playing popstars on their PS3.

    In fairness Alex is making a better job of the song than JLS....she's got a much more "emotional" tone to her voice i think.


    It's still a horrible choice for the final.

    I don't think my reaction is in any way OTT given that I have known and loved this song for years. Just listen to the Jeff Buckley version and try and tell me that either of these finalists have in any way stood up to it. Nowhere near. I enjoy X Factor for what it is but I do not agree with these music moguls taking amazing pieces of work and butchering them.

    She can sing, but she is as dull as dishwater. Terrible version of that song. oddly I now want JLS to win. Never liked them before. Its clear that production had planned for diana to win with Hallejuah as choice of winners song.
