Random question, but is the winners single released directly after the winner is announced or is it released at midnight?

Somewhere in between generally! As soon as it's ready, it's released :D

Chandelier was made for an arena environment too. It baffles belief that they didn't opt for it.

I'd have preferred The Winner Takes It All personally.

 

Chandelier was incredible but we've seen it at the audition, last week and in last night's VT in Finland, it hardly needs another airing. Granted it would have been the third airing for The Winner Takes It All as well but it would have fit the 'end of show' theme perfectly lyrically and in terms of impact.

 

I do agree that It's Oh So Quiet is a slightly odd choice though.

Also "Please Welcome to the stage" made me think of that iconic Taylor Swift pisstake.

 

I feel like Nicole won this for Matt sadly but I enjoyed the messy "so straight, he's so damn straight" narrative.

Saara would be my favorite winner of all time.

Ah good, that'll do for me. Interesting to see how an original song will go down, I pray to anything there is above us that it isn't a generic ballad a la nearly every other winner.

This might not be the place to ask but has runner-up winners single ever leaked in HQ?

 

JLS - Hallelujah, Olly Murs - The Climb, Rebecca Ferguson- Distant Dreamer or Fleur East - Something I Need

 

I think only what would have been One Direction's winners single leaked.

 

Also Union J ended up putting Skyscraper on their debut album.

 

Other than that no I don't think so.

Judging by some of the comments here, it sounds like she has had better performances? Care to share which ones?

For me, her best performances are Chandelier at the semi final, The Winner Takes It All from the quarter finals and Enough is Enough from Disco Week (she served absolutely insane vocals with punchy choreo on this one and I was living for it).

 

Saara's had four key performances and all show different sides to her:

 

It's Oh So Quiet - first public vote success, embracing her quirkiness, a show number, public finally begin to warm to Saara

No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) - uptempo dance number with her quirkiness toned down, fantastic choreography, her last chance to avoid elimination (a fourth sing-off in week 6 would've been bye bye)

The Winner Takes It All - first sighting of the piano, first proper big ballad, amazing camera shot of audience, the MOMENT of the series

Chandelier - utterly epic, more emotion than ever before, amazing cinematography with staging

 

:heart:

They're definitely my top 4 of hers, It's Oh So Quiet would be my least fave of the 4 but I think she probably just enjoyed that one the most, so fair enough I guess :lol:

Anybody else surprised that they haven't re-launched Fleur at the final? Unless she drops a surprise new single tonight.. :lol:

Unless Tamera Foster debuts her track *.*

Anybody else surprised that they haven't re-launched Fleur at the final? Unless she drops a surprise new single tonight.. :lol:

She's in Shanghai at the moment so I doubt it :P

 

I did read somewhere that the new era is going to launch early 2016, I think they deliberately dedicated Q4 of this year to Louisa to get maximum impact for So Good.

Saara would be my favorite winner of all time.

:o

 

for me 2nd favorite.

My third fave after Alexandra (1) and Leona (2). Don't like aaany of the others XD . So that's what a 2/14 ratio of good to crap for me?

Come on Saara. Must vote for her.

:o

 

for me 2nd favorite.

 

:rofl:

 

I didn't watch the LM season, only watched all their performances on Youtube. Said that based on the seasons I watched, should've said that.

Saara is probably third for me in terms of who I've felt most emotionally invested in, behind Little Mix & Leona.

I must be one of the few that can't warm up to Saara at all. She is a competent singer and performer, but I just can't bring myself to care for her in any way at all.

 

Perhaps I wrote her off completely at her 6 Chair Challenge disaster or after a few unfortunate VTs that made her come across really fake.

 

That said, I did feel sorry for her when she was in the bottom 2 in the first few weeks of the live shows. She was too good to be on the chopping block that early. However, once she made it on tour (TOP 8), I started hoping she would go home soon.
