Poor Ray, born at completely the wrong end of the 20th Century.

[reemur]

I think Ray should win

[ShirleyD]

Well if it all goes on the new single, then it is Leonas....not long now.....come on Ray!!!

[ShirleyD]

Well a gentleman till the end. Hopefully not the last we will see of him.

[sheenallan]

Well that was a forgone conclusion ,i think we all knew Leona would win, but what a nice guy Ray is ,i hope he goes over to Vegas i think they would love him .

Ah well, as far as performances go I think Ray tipped it until Leona sang the new single.

[Pat M]

i agree i thought leona was the best although i liked ben too, i didnt care much for ray he isnt my kind of singer but his peformance last night was excellent he gave everything and the songs suited him to a tee, he looked as though he was really enjoying himself. but i do think they both have got big futures ahead of them pat

[palmvillas]

Well done Leona it is a shame somebody has to loose.I hope the both get a record deal.

We thought the new single was absolutely awful - the lyrics were especially bad and sounded like something I could knock up in a few spare minutes. No doubt it will do well with all the hype behind it but I did think they could try harder and come up with something a bit more inspiring for the winner to sing.

I don't think it's even original John is it? I think it is the one sung by Kelly Clarkson the American idol winner?

Have to say I think it is a little unfair that Ray should be in the final given that
a) one of the groups who qualified for the final were kicked out because they had a manager and had been put together for the competition and from what I've read until recently Ray had a manager from his acting days but sacked him so he could go into the competition.

b) the whole final acts no was changed so Simon could bring Ray back in after he'd chosen his final 7 because he'd decided he'd made a mistake, and actually wanted to keep him.
