Andrea Begley has won the final of this year's series of The Voice on BBC One.

The partially-sighted 27-year-old from Pomeroy, County Tyrone's prize is a "lucrative" recording contract.

So happy I witnessed her achievement.

:-D

I was cooking tea in the kitchen many weeks ago and not really listening to the television when I was stopped in my tracks by Andrea on the very first programme. What a voice and what a deserving winner!

Her voice is wonderful but the other contestants were very good too, I was surprised to see Matt go out as he and Jessie sounded fabulous together. But then he has been in shows before so wasn't a total newcomer to performing unlike young Mike, whose voice is lovely. I liked Leah singing with Will, they worked well together.

I have enjoyed the show from the start, it's so nice to see the support the judges give even if people aren't very good, they never put them down or make faces and slag them off like Simon Cowell and others on his programmes, Nor are they rude enough to sit and eat which Simon does on his panel.

Andrea Begley had a site showing she offered her talents as a Wedding Singer etc http://andreabegley.com/ I hope they put out her music faster than last year's winner, I can't wait to have a cd to play of her singing, as her voice is so beautiful. Reminds me of when Hayley Westonra first appeared on the scene, I loved her singing too.

Good luck to all the contestants - I hope the show has been a springboard for them to get even further with their music

Liz - I enjoyed the whole series as well - just seen the site - the music is like a voice from an angel.

Hmmmmmmm I think Andrea is going to have a limited audience, so would Mike who to me didnt sound that clever last night he was flat in all 3 numbers he sang Will was right to point it out... Matt excellent voice but didnt jump out at you. Leah not my cuppa tea but I think as her number with Will shown with the right producer she is the winner.
