I thought it was an awful performance by someone who is hugely overrated (yeah the Beatles wrote great songs but their performances lack any form of emotion and Paul here just did the same old shit).
Both two final shows were the most boring the X Factor has ever been in my opinion. It has been a huge disappointment this year.

Where were the Christmas songs?
Why were so many songs performed again which had been performed over the last ten weeks before?
Why did they bring Robbie back? (Honestly Olly's and Robbie's duet on "Angels" was one of the worst versions of that song I've ever seen and heard. Olly's attempt was average karaoke at best.)
Why was there only a live band with Paul, which sounded awful? Surely for the final they could have a small orchestra or so to back the singers up? This tape nonsense gets rather boring, especially considering the auditions this year had that same format.
What was with the extended 2 hour Sunday show anyway, it was more than 1 hour too long.
Why do many of the guest artsts do so many old songs instead of original new material? It's such a waste. The whole series is filled with covers and pre 2000 music (Queen week? Rock week?, give me a break). Quite ridiculous.
Why do the profits of the final single not go to charity? No wonder there is such a big movement against this established cover crap to stop it from achieving a Christmas number 1 ever again.
Why were so many of the Sunday performances not live?! The group singing bit at the start of the show were always filled with pre-recorded vocals and the guest performances had often been taped before the show went out live (I know this for a fact); Janet / Lady Gaga / even Cheryl Cole herself!

Simon Cowell has asked for an additional £3 million for next year. If these issues are not addressed then I really think it's a joke and hope the show dies as it really seems brain dead-between -advert-filler tv at this rate.

Rage against the Machine for Christmas number 1!! This rehash conditioned easy tv bollox needs to stop ASAP!
