Maybe it was his way of rebelling against Simon's song choices and it seemed like they switched his songs at the last minute every week. I just thought he might come through and be a new Will Young. But he doesn't have Will's vocals at all. On the other hand, Joe showed growth each week and was always uptone. And as much as it pains me to say much nice about Cheryl Cole, she knows how to pick songs.

He always got the big notes, but the notes in between were usually iffy. I also think he lacked good vocal technique in general, he slurred his words so much that if they weren't familiar songs nobody would have a clue what he was singing about. He was so focused on his own voice he didn't think about actually enunciating and the importance of words in a song. I agree Joe is definitely the best choice in a long time, and he was the natural choice. I liked Olly, but it would have been wrong for him to win when Joe really spanked him in the final.
