X Factor final: Shooting Star Chase staff ‘thrilled’ for victor Louisa Johnson

While 2009′s Rage Against the Machine campaign was a concerted effort to block Simon Cowell and his talent show from having a monopoly over the Christmas chart, the Star Wars appeal has no hard feelings towards 17-year-old Louisa.

Louisa triumphed over fellow finalists Che Chesterman and Reggie N Bollie last weekend to become the youngest ever victor on the show.

Finally, we’ve crowned our X Factor victor – Louisa Johnson!

Both Louisa Johnson and Reggie N Bollie had an unbelievable X Factor journey, and it all came to a head with Sunday’s final performances.

Bob Dylan is set to return to the top of the singles chart, 50 years after his first United Kingdom number one, with a cover of his song “Forever Young” performed by Louisa Johnson, victor of The X Factor.

The seventeen year old X Factor victor has been lined up for pop super-stardom for nearly ten years, it has been claimed.

Rita was mentor to the winning candidate despite only joining the show this year.

Meanwhile, it is a busy time for Louisa as Amazon has announced that it will host an exclusive show with the “X Factor” victor next year, followed by a Q&A and a CD signing.

Her mum Lisa Hawkyard, 46, said she was “beyond ecstatic” that her teenage daughter had fulfilled her childhood dream.

Also performing live on the show for the very first time, Adele wowed audiences with a breathtaking performance of her smash hit “Hello” from the record-breaking album 25, and performances from Coldplay and One Direction.

And that long-awaited work, which features contributions from Dev Hynes, Ed Sheeran and Diplo, will be an edgier departure from the bubblegum fun of “I Will Never Let You Down”. “Nah” “Gaga, do you want to make sure your wig is nicely brushed, and doesn’t look like you bought it last minute at a fancy dress shop?”
