Many tears were shed on the first part of X Factor UK's finale, and Kelly Clarkson's performance only added emotion to the night.

The songstress sang her hit, Breakaway, with a backdrop of the top contender's most memorable moments and let's just say we understand, even all these years later, why Kelly once won a similar singing competition!

Girl can belt a note!!

Ch-ch-check out Miss Clarkson take command of the live audience (above)!!!

The boys of One Direction sure had a lot to prove when they returned to the X Factor UK stage where they got their start on Sunday!

Nearly three years after they took third place during their season of XF, 1D pumped the crowd up with their latest single, Kiss You!

Check out the boy band’s finale performance (above)!!!

While the number wasn’t exactly pitch perfect, the guys looked like they had fun… well, except for Zayn and his microphone problems! Bummer!

The finale, which crowned James Arthur as season nine’s champ, also featured performances from our princess Rihanna and the phenomenally talented Emeli Sandé!

Oh no! Say it isn’t so?!

Pussycat Doll Solo artist, Nicole Scherzinger, is leaving us VERY big hints that this season’s X Factor UK will be her first and last in the judge’s chair.

The former kitty recently told a source:

“I’m really glad I did the show. I don’t know if I’ll come back next year.”

We all know Nicole likes to win and the talent competition is in deep s**t in the rankings— it is down a whopping 10 million in viewers since the show’s highest ratings in 2009.

Regardless of her fate, her time on X Factor UK was savored. In fact, One X Factor UK insider reports:

Sounds like the UK X Factor continues to be fraught with vitriol! No, that's not British slang for bottom- well, it actually might be- but we're talking about the hate!

Nicole Scherzinger burned head judge Gary Barlow, calling him 'Gary BORE-low!'

Well, Gary's former Take That bandmate Robbie Williams isn't going to take that lying down! He says:

"Nicole keeps calling him ‘Gary Borelow’ – well she’s Nicole S–tsinger!"

Ouch! That's a bit worse than boring! But Robbie really just wants to defend his buddy! He says:

"Gary is the most talented out of the lot of them… the captain. He is doing a great job as head judge. He's funnier this season than the last, which is great because he's way more funny than me."

How can you be self-deprecating while talking smack?! Oh, you crazy Brits! Boy do we love you!

Nicole Scherzinger looks gorgeous in Gucci on the December issue of British Marie Claire.

The X Factor judge put her PCD moves to good use while posing for David Roemer's camera in Salvatore Ferragamo and Dolce & Gabbana.

This shoot is nothing short of fabulous, but it would've been nice to see her in some reds or golds.

After all, it is a December cover!! Hello, sparkles!
