Alexandra Burke In Tears As She Wins X Factor

Alexandra Burke Wins X Factor
As expected Alexandra Burke won last night's X Factor final and is now destined to be the UK's number one single at Christmas. Downloads started from midnight. The Hallelujah (Single) will be released on the 17th of December.

JLS were second with Eoghan Quigg third.

Alexandra, again as expected, burst into tears as did Cheryl Cole and everyone was happily blubbing away so much so that Alex was virtually unable to talk.

As for Simon Cowell he was delighted and hugged Cheryl as he blissfully closed his eyes and counted his future earnings in his head. It was the right result for him as Alexandra could well become another Leona Lewis and do well in the US as well.

Over 8 million votes were cast for the final result.

X Factor Final Tonight

Alexandra Burke and Eoghan QuiggIt's the final of the X Factor blubberthon tonight. No doubt tears will flow over the stage and down Cheryl Cole's lovely face. The favourite to win is Alexandra Burke. In an unofficial Internet poll she has 56% of the vote with JLS second on 31% and diddy little Eoghan Quigg on just 13%. The phone vote may, of course, come up with something completely different. A lot of late money at the bookies is for JLS.

Diana Vickers Splits With Boyfriend

The Sun has reported that X Factor contestant Diana Vickers has now split from her boyfriend Chris Jones.

Fellow contestant Eoghan Quigg has indicated that he will be seeing Diana in the future. X Factor viewers saw his tears and emotion as Diana was voted out on Saturday. He said, "I’m going to Blackburn to spend time with her and she’ll be coming to Dungiven. My family have met her and think she’s lovely."

Quiggmania swept through Londonderry when he returned for a visit and he is even supposedly a favourite of Amy Winehouse - as to whether this is good or bad is debateable!

Whatever happens, or doesn't happen, between Eoghan and Diana they are both assured of a successful future, at least for the short term. It could be Kylie and Jason all over again!

Eoghan seemed to be devastated that Diana was voted off even though he himself was through to next weeks final. He was in tears on stage and virtually unable to speak. There have been rumours that the couple have been getting close since being in the X Factor house but that Diana has been trying to cool things off. Photo: WENN

Bye Bye Rachel Hylton from X Factor

Rachel Hylton bit the dust on last night's X Factor as she was finally booted out by the judges.

It was surely the right decision as she had been in the bottom two for three times. Simon Cowell with his final casting vote said, "This is tough. I have been a fan of yours since you came on this show, but it has been three times."

The biggest entertainment on the show was the spat between judges Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue which ended with the latter in tears. This shouldn't have happened on air but I guess it makes what is nowadays considered to be 'good television.'

The problem was that they both wanted the same song for one of their contestants and JLS therefore had to move onto a different Take That song at the last moment.

Eoghan Quigg and Diana Vickers seem to easily be favourites for the final along with Alexandra Burke. But voters sometimes do funny things. Also left in X Factor are Ruth Lorenzo and JLS.
