Seventeen-year-old singing sensation Louisa Johnson was crowned X Factor champion after beating reggae/rap duo Reggie’n’Bollie in an emotionally charged final. Thank you for trusting me, working with me and being my friend.
And Simon, 56 – who would normally sign up the winners and some finalists – said he’d be happy to step to one side and let Cheryl take care of Reggie and Bollie. You have no idea how much this means to me’.
They received a standing ovation from the entire judging panel and wild screams from the audience.
‘We were all given torches at the beginning, but were told to use them for Louisa’s performance.’ Tweeted one fan. However, despite giving an fantastic performance themselves, Reggie “N” Bollie were no match for Louisa Johnson’s powerful vocals. Thank you for trusting me and believing in me.
There couldn’t been a better song for Louisa as the victor song suited her perfectly. “I have never ever heard anything as good as what you just did”, said Simon Cowell during this weekend’s final.
“You forget how incredible you are until we see you perform”, said Nick. Of other X Factor winners, Leona Lewis has gone on to earn a fortune of £13 million, Little Mix have made £12 million and One Direction regularly make the rich lists of young musicians.
Voting statistics released by ITV after the show revealed she had come first in six out of eight public votes during this year’s live shows.
