Oh dear!!!

Grace Kelly was far better than the winner, and will probably be remembered and played for much longer.

More votes than sales?

I agree, Cat, though my vote would have gone to Take That, if I'd remembered to vote. Oh well, that's democracy for you.

Second most viewed event on You Tube today!

I thought that the song that got to number 5 would deffo win it - very surprised it didn't! But huge congratulations to the winner. Also, thanks for posting this up on Youtube!

I thought its usually televised on Television, why the sudden change

ITV dropped it after a disagreement involving, amongst other things, misuse of the phone voting!

Long before the scandal broke.

Hopefully it will return to screens soon.

Imagine a show with Leona, Take That, Mika, Plain White T's, Rihanna, Fray, Beyonce, Timbaland on it (not forgetting The Proclaimers).

Might have saved a few retailers from going under.
