Eoghan comes third!

Eoghan comes third!

13 Dec 08

What a show, what a show, what a show! But take a deep breath boys and girls because the fun still aint over yet!

The one and only superstar that is Beyonce took to the stage for the second time tonight to open the results show, and blew our minds with her new smash hit single If I Were A Boy.

Singing live and accompanied by her all-female band she reminded us why she is arguably the best female recording artist in the world today

And then as Dermot called our final three to join him onstage, it was time for the dreaded results… part one.

Which meant it was time for the heart rates of our three finalists to quadruple!

For the act with the fewest votes their X Factor dream would be over, leaving the two remaining acts to battle it out for the title.

Over 5 million votes have been cast – each act had huge support, but JLS and Alexandra had that little bit more, and with that Eoghan was out.

Gracious in defeat the young man wished his fellow competitors the best of luck. Simon congratulated him stating: “You’re a great kid, you can leave here with your head held high.”

Remember you guys at home hold all the power tonight, the judges have given their opinions – but they count for nothing, only the British public can decide who will be crowned The X Factor champion 2008.

Vote now for JLS or Alexandra!

Alex was a brilliant singer and a worthy winner, but in my opinion she was simon winner and thats all that mattered!i dont think the result reflect the votes of the public.In my opinion the voting was fixed to ensure Alex won as so many people couldnt get thru to vote for Eoghan.I'm sure alex would rather have won on her own merits than on X factor Fixing votes.What a shame she didnt.

EOGHAN won 6 shows outa 10 wat happened????? ppl can say it's who votes on the night but let me tell you's eoghan had MASSIVE support.. he shoulda been there to the end.. ITS "EOGHAN" Not owen by the way!!! and can i just say the only reason why it was fixed was "ALEX"is british Eoghan is IRISH and they wanted a british winner.. All bot the money!
