Afterwards, a picture of the trio was posted up by Cheryl's PR on their Twitter account. Gracious: She was clad in a Philip Armstrong gold dress before wearing an intricate orange gown later in the show and became emotional as mentor Cheryl and the rest of the judges told her how proud they were of her. It is understood that he only worked as a painter and decorator to fund time in the recording studio and to make an album with his old band Seven Summers.
But his father, a former chorister, says music is in the genes — and Cardle is certainly a fighter, having had a kidney removed after suffering from cancer at the age of two. Elegant: Rebecca performed a cover of Duffy's Distant Dreamer, which would have been the track she released if she had won the contest. He was the main songwriter in the group, which lasted for two years. From there he joined alternative rock band Seven Summers, and released an album shortly before he auditioned for The X Factor.
Viewers will have noticed subtle changes to his style as the competition progressed — he now regularly has a spray tan, has had his hair styled and his teeth whitened. Since the live shows began two months ago, fans have been won over by his good looks and impressive voice, but his honesty has also won him admirers in a year when the show has been dogged by rumours that results have been fixed or leaked.
Cardle famously criticised Simon Cowell for keeping Katie Waissel in the show because she was good for ratings, and hit out at former rival Wagner Carrihlo for his lack of talent. Absolutely gutted: One Direction were the first of last night's X Factor finalists to get the boot with Cowell saying he was 'gutted for them' but adding 'this is not the end'. We're through: Matt and Rebecca react with shock as they are told they are in the final two. But he found himself at the centre of a fresh phone controversy last night after some callers who had been trying to vote for Miss Ferguson claimed to have received automated messages thanking them for voting for him.
A spokesman said no complaints had been made and no problems had been reported to them. There were also concerns the voting was being leaked early after a poll on Twitter put Cardle in first place, ahead of Miss Ferguson, with One Direction third.
Big future ahead of them: One Direction performed Natalie Imbruglia's Torn to huge cheers from the crowd. Keeping their fingers crossed: Corrie star Michelle Keegan reported live from Louis Tomlinson's hometown of Doncaster. Nice trousers: Matt's first song of the night was Katy Perry's Firework, which he received high praise from the judges for, although Simon was not a fan of his neon trousers.
Explosive: The performance was punctuated with a colourful lights show and explosions. One Direction sang Torn, first made famous by Natalie Imbruglia, prompting the judges to insist that regardless of whether they won the competition they would get a recording deal. Crowd pleaser: To open the show the three finalists performed with Take That as they sang Never Forget ensemble. Let the battle commence: The X Factor judges arrive on to the stage at the start of the final.
The last stand: Cheryl looked stunning in a red fishtail gown while Dannii opted for a plunging, glittering off-white dress. A source close to Cowell said he felt all of them had potential to be very successful and would appeal to different demographics. We are looking at potentially five millionaires. This series has been the most popular and everyone who is left has huge followings.
They all have their own appeal and quite separate fan bases. Ensemble: Some of the most colourful and controversial contestants from the series performed a group rendition of Lady Gaga's bad romance, escort girl Chloe Mafia seen centre in a revealing outfit. Hoping for Christmas No. Argos AO.
Headlines U. Privacy Policy Feedback. Remember them? It probably doesn't matter. Dermot O'Leary has referred to this as "what makes Britain great. But I was wrong. Shows what I know, eh? Matt is through. Rebecca is through. One Direction are out. That was a 9. If they had gone on to win, their winner's single would have been Forever Young. Or Oh Harry's Mum as I was ready to retitle it. Poor Harry's mum. I'll miss her most of all.
Simon Cowell is upset at the result. But this is just the beginning, he says. JLS didn't win either, remember? And look at them now - they had their own TV show yesterday and everything. Admittedly watching it was like being repeatedly punched in the face by an idiot, but it was still a TV show. They've both got different songs this year. But are they good? Well, no, obviously, but let's pretend to wait and see. Which is brilliant, because I've personally always wanted to have a Christmas number one that's a reality TV show cover version of a song by a band with low enough aspirations to want to rip off Snow Patrol.
This is a strange mixture of earnest and insipid. One of these words perfectly describes this song but I'm not sure which one yet. Matt's just threatened us with the words "It's you and me until the end of time.
If you win it'll be you and me until about the middle of February, tops. Which, if you remember, he just sang out a few minutes ago. Not sure how that works, really. And they're doing it with a best bits package. And a video of friends and family saying how brilliant they are. And then a heartfelt message from their mentor. And then, obviously, a bit where Stacey Solomon honks like a goose at the top of her voice. There isn't a dry eye in the house. God, I love geese. It's probably the most X Factorish of the winner's songs this year, because it starts off slow and then keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Although not Aguilera big, obviously, because then Rebecca would just seize up and look all startled again. Plus, because it doesn't sound like it's being yelped out by Uni from the Dungeons And Dragons cartoon, it's slightly better than the original. I mean, I wouldn't buy it. I'm not mental.
Rebecca has got all kinds of walk-on choirs in her favour. And violinists. And glittery confetti. Matt just had some three-day stubble. This was better. And Simon can always call the result. This must be the closest final ever. And that can only mean one thing - don't vote like you've never not voted before, people. I appear to have offended every single Biffy Clyro fan in the world.
I didn't mean they sound like Snow Patrol, obviously. What's left. Take That? Stacey Solomon making a noise like a goose? Almost definitely. That alone will make it all seem worthwhile. What a privilege it is to have them perform at the X Factor final, given that they traditionally only limit their appearances to about a fifth of all X Factor episodes, plus most Strictly Come Dancing episodes, Dancing On Ice, almost all awards shows, that full-length documentary of theirs and everything else in all of history.
This is a special treat indeed. He is one of us now. We can never be mean about him again. Winner revealed after the break.
Which means no Prince. I hope you can all join me. He released one album with SyCo the following year, before breaking ties with the label and going it alone. Leon is yet to make a follow-up release but travels to and from Los Angeles working as a songwriter.
Alexandra Burke stormed to victory over JLS in the final of the series, though both went on to have incredible pop success. She has released two albums since her win, Overcome in and Heartbreak on Hold in , as well as EP Renegade in Her success was so big that she was personally name-checked by Beyonce as someone she wanted to collaborate with, and she signed a deal to be the face of fashion label Dolce and Gabbana.
Joe was only eighteen years old when he managed to win the series of the talent show. His fellow finalists, Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon, have also gone on to massive success as a pop star and TV presenter respectively. In , Joe tried his hand at opera singing in the second series of Popstar to Opera Star - and continued his winning streak by going home champion.
In , he became the emergency replacement on The Jump after Henry Conway was injured - and again, he won the show. This is the second time he's been in the role, after initially getting the part in a tour running from January to July However, his success was quickly overtaken by One Direction's - who shockingly came in runner-up to him in the finale.
After a year, Matt decided to leave his label, citing that he "needed to be selfish" as One Direction continued to dominate the charts and the label's focus as a result. He has released four studio albums since his win and took the lead role in musical Memphis in the West End in The four-piece girl group were put together by Simon during the audition process, and have become the show's biggest winning act to date.
While others like One Direction and Olly Murs have achieved commercial success, Little Mix broke the mould by being the only ones to win the competition and go on to huge success. They were the first band to win the competition, beating Marcus Collins, and also broke records held by the Spice Girls in the US.
