X factor 2009 voting results show by show
For some odd reason, ITV released the X factor results for each round in a PDF. Here, in HTML, are the percentage of the votes each contestant got in each round. The final was in no way close.

"Stacey Solomom"
Cool name for a single mother.
[...] of course was never in any doubt with Joe being the odds on favourite with the bookies, and as this table of voting percentages shows, Joe has been the front runner for last five weeks, and in last nights vote he polled a crushing 61% [...]
Danyl and stacey got the same percentage of votes in the semi-final, how did Danyl lose out to Stacey? Did they go by votes cast from the previous weeks?
I've rounded the figures to fit them in. Stacey got 19.4%, Danyl got 18.8%.
how become danyl got knocked out in the semi final if stacey and danyl both got the same amount of votes?
hoow become danyl got knocked in the semi final if stacey and danyl both got the same amount of votes?
It shows girl bands dont do well
These are strange figures with hindsight. I distinctly remember the Sun reporting that Jedward were 'miles ahead of any other act' and that this was Simon Cowell's worst nightmare:
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/x_factor/2700883/Tone-deaf-pair-John-and-Edward-get-most-votes.html
So either the ITV figures above are wrong or there's a conspiracy theory in the making - Jedward didn't come close to winning any episodes, so why was this news so widely reported?
I distinctly remember Cowell saying it was the closest yet, and it clearly wasn't.
Anyway, you can see the official stats at this PDF. I don't think I've transcribed them wrongly: http://xfactor.itv.com/_uploads/documents/091213_votestats.pdf
