THE JUDGES' FINAL VERDICTS

Incidentally in the final of the real X-Factor they all perform the official X-Factor song.  Seeing as we don't have one, I propose Party Hard by Andrew WK.  Anyone who performs that gets an extra vote.  Especially if it's Sarah.

EMMA 37th
You've been a bit hit-and-miss all competition.  I think you're trying a bit too hard to be Gwen Stefani so you sound a bit special needs in parts of this, but at least you can hold a note.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 6th

CLAIRE
You know I think you deserve to win, and even though the original of this song, faux-American voices and too many histrionics are all my pet hates, I stand by that.  It wasn't your strongest, but who cares now?  And of course your She Will Be Loved is still the best recording of the competition.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 1st

GEORGE
Aside from a William Shatner impersonator there is clearly no hope for you in life.  Congratulations, we have a new worst recording. JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 14th (although only 11 finished, I'm including Jenny, Kim and myself above you, who only entered one week)

LANDA
I thought you were Phil when I started listening to this...  It's a tame song with high notes, so god knows why you chose it.  You've had your moments in this competition, but this isn't one of them.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 7th

AMY
Your voice isn't really suited to this, you go flat when you try to go low.  And again you can't sing in time.  Yes, I did like Adam's Song, but it's a shame you haven't been able to match that at all.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 8th

SARAH
I dont want you to think my constant criticism means there's anything wrong with your voice, you've got a very good singing voice, I just don't like it.  I don't think you've got much of a range, it's all too high, but Runaway showcases your voice well, its one of your best.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 4th

MARTIN
Put a bit of passion into it!  You sound like you're just reading the words rather than actually performing.  You might have a bit more potential as a rapper, so it's slightly better than all your others.  And god knows why you thought Heart Of Glass was more tuneful, it's horrendous.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 10th

GARY
You've suprised us by proving you can sing in this competition.  You've been a bit up and down, but you've finished on a high with the last couple of rounds.  I can see you as the 'serious' one in a ballad-y boyband.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 5th

EMMA
I do think your chances in this competition have been blown by your own song choices.  You need a better manager... (think Fox Like Me )  This was one of your best performances, you've proved you have an excellent voice, you just need some more confidence in it.  JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 3rd

COLIN
You're right, it's not a hard song, and you know you can do much more technical songs.  A strong performance, and you definately have potential as a rock singer.  If your band weren't so horrifically 70s I'd offer to manage you. JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 2nd

PHIL
Heh, for some reason this really worked with your voice, and I don't know why.  I'm almost tempted to say it's your best recording.  Nice orgasm too.
JOEL'S FINAL RANKING = 9th

I wasn't aware I was being fake-American as I hate that too...and also histrionics, still don't understand what that means! Thanks for the topness anyways.

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Ooo I can just see those posters all over teenage girl's bedrooms across the country!!!

Aww and Joel, you've actually given me a back-handed compliment in saying i sing all high! I occasionally sing backing vocals for my sister (She's the talented one in the family!) and i always do an alto bit and some people have laughed at the 'manly tones' I do, despite being a tiny wee girly! I never thought I could reach high bits. (Although I do squeak!)

I would do Andrew WK, although I'm too worried Martin may call off the wedding as I may be scary Ah I jest, I will not track you down and beat you up for disliking my voice and accent! Rawr.

Well done everyone! We're all done, woo!

I'd give the entire competition to Phil for that performance. Felt like touching myself, tbh.

Also, George deserves better than 14th. He's chosen the better songs to murder, surely that's worth a point or two.

I actually recorded it as part of a thingy they did on the site; featuring songs with "Rain" in the title. In all fairness, no one's given me any really constructive criticism on what does and doesn't suit my voice, when I consider myself to have done a good entry, and got positive remarks from you, I still end up with sh*t points so in all fairness, I've been less and less enthusiastic as time's gone on with this contest. Yeah, it's only a laugh, which is why I kept with it. It makes me laugh when some people who are godawful get good points though. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks it. But hey, *shrugs*, it's just a game, right?

Steve-Dave: Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?
Walt Flanagan: They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.
Steve-Dave: I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.
Walt Flanagan: Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.
Walt Flanagan: He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.
Walt Flanagan: The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.
Walt Flanagan: I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.
Steve-Dave: Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close
oatibix: Something's happened here.
Steve-Dave: This is what happens when you leave Colin.
Steve-Dave: And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t
Steve-Dave: I'm an equivocating motherf*cker
Rayanne Graff: Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.
Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.
Steve-Dave: Everything's better!
Puffalump: Barrier
Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been
Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"
Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive
Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
