Joe McElderry The 2009 UK X Factor Winner
December 13th, 2009 | 
Author: 
Who would have thought a few months back that this 18 year old fresh faced singer from South Shields would win the 2009 X Factor final? Not me anyway.
After the auditions I sort of favoured Jamie Afro and that was based on his great performance of Sex on Fire – not his hair! Problem was that for me Jamie never set the stage on fire again so my attention turned to Miss Frank. This girlband was 3 contestants who were asked to form a group after they failed to get through to bootcamp. They were great, original and interesting and I’m sure will have a good future if they stay together.
I always liked runner up Ollie Murs, he is a great performer though I didn’t think that his singing voice was the best. Up until the last 3 weeks I would have chosen Olly over Joe because his performances entertained me more. Then I saw that Joe had constantly improved and that his confidence was growing. Suddenly young Joe McElderry was beginning to look like a contender. His voice is probably the best of all of the contestants with perhaps the exception of Danyl Johnson who came fourth but never really floated my boat.
In third place was Stacy Solomon, the Dagenham girl with the big voice. She didn’t do it for me until the last show where she sang the Freddie Mercury classic ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ and performed a duet with Michael Buble. That duet was something else and to me was better than the Ollie Murs/Robbie Williams duet and the Joe McElderry/George Michael duet – to be honest I was disappointed in George Michael and thought that Joe outsang him.
The final was one of the most entertaining shows that I have ever seen and included a performance by Sir Paul McCartney, the most successful singer songwriter ever. When the X Factor finalists joined him on the stage it must have been massive for them – or epic as Olly says.

Congratulations to Joe, a very worthy winner. Congratulations to Cheryl Cole who mentored her second winner in a row. Congratulations to all of the other finalists who never failed to entertain during the best X Factor year yet.

What do you all think of Robbie Williams new song Bodies?
I am a big fan, but I was expecting this song to be a disappointment. I have to say though that I was pleasantly surprised and really like it! I feel like it’s Robbie back on form.
But some of the reviews I’ve read have been quite negative, and they all seem to be by journalists who say “well I’ve never liked him, and this song isn’t any good”… So I just wondered what people in general thought of it, and if you think it will do well?
