The X Factor final kicks off this Saturday night, so three heatworld writers have battled it out to argue which of the three finalists should take the crown.
Read the case for Matt Terry HERE and 5 After Midnight HERE.
This series of The X Factor has been pretty bloody unusual for many, many reasons. We had the first show couple, Emily Middlemas and Ryan Lawrie, who (ALLEGEDLY) porked on the stairs of the contestant house, we had one of the final 12 lose their place in the live shows before it even began (remember Brooks Way?), we had that live show where the judges were all (ALLEGEDLY) completely trollied and, most importantly, we had HONEY F*CKIN' G.
TBH we think it's been the best series yet. Apart from that one with Matt Cardle and One Direction, obviously.
And in amongst all this absolute madness was Saara Aalto, whose journey toward X Factor finalist has arguably been the most unusual aspect of the whole show.
Let us take you on a journey back to Six Chair Challenge. The event that feels as if it took place roughly 46 years ago, but was actually more like 7 weeks or something.
Saara fought adamantly for her chair with I See Fire. And by adamantly, we mean she literally would not stop singing when the judges told her to STFU and leave (all words to that affect).
The whole thing became pretty painful to watch (even though we loved it, obv) when Sharon, accompanied by a dramatic Massive Attack soundtrack, opted to send Saara home. She then came back on stage and sang a random French song, which attracted boos and calls of "off, off, off" from a frankly very rude audience. Dermot O'Leary was backstage with his head in his hands. That's when you know things have gone to shit.
But, like that magical phoenix from Harry Potter, Saara has well and truly risen from the ashes.
After having a shaky start the first few weeks where votes were concerned, she's now become THE ACTUAL FIRST EVER contestant in the first week's bottom two to make the final.
A pretty incredible achievement, no?
And she's managed this by getting more and more amazing, wowing the audience and judges alike and proving all her haterz wrong each week. She's the only contestant to consistently give us goosebumps every time she sings – and surely, SURELY, that's saying something.
Like – did you guys SEE her performance of Chanelier at the semi-final? Chills AF.
And we may or may not have cried when she sang Winner Takes It All (AND SHE PLAYS THE RUDDY PIANO, GUYS).
ALSO – there are very few people who can get away with singing My Heart Will Go On and still sound amazing. Believe us, we've tried it many a time in the shower.
Saara not only has an incredible singing voice, but her comeback and rags to riches-esque boos to standing ovation story is practically fairytale-worthy - and all good fairytales need a happy ending.
And it's dark horses like Saara who grow throughout the competition that often go on to be some of the most iconic winners – Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke, for example.
A key reason why Saara should take the crown is because it would totally shut down all those irritating haterz who for some incomprehensible reason think it would be the worst thing in the world for a non-British person to win the show.
2016 has truly been a bit of a nightmare. So isn't an underdog story with a happy ending exactly what the doctor ordered? Bookies fave Saara is 100% the worthy winner – we only wish we'd placed a bet on her at the start of the live shows. We'd prob be millionaires.
