James Arthur wins X Factor finalJames Arthur has won the X Factor final, beating Jahmene Douglas to win a recording contract.
He sang a rendition of Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On on Sunday's show, as well as his choice of winner's single, Shontelle's Impossible.
One Direction, Rihanna and Emeli Sande performed on the show.
Earlier this week, Nicole Scherzinger told the BBC's Newsbeat website she plans to work with both her acts when they bring out their own music.
The former Pussycat Doll said Douglas and Arthur had helped make this year's competition.
"They've been a huge blessing," she told Newsbeat.
"I think it brings so much more credibility and integrity to the show."
For the first time in the show's nine-year history, the live final was staged outside London.
The shows were held at Manchester Central.
