Poll: The X-Factor 2009 Thread

[dekez]

They said that about Will Young.

Anyway Joe will earn a million quid whatever happens and never have to work again.

Your point?

They also said the same thing about Leon Jackson

Who knows, I just can't see him being a big star. Maybe musicals or something, but hey like you say he's set for life anyway so good for him.

Good show all round.

Leona = Stunning, Amazing, Incredible voice
Paul McCartney = Legend. Live & Let Die was amazing
JLS & Alex = Very Good
George Michael = Fast Forward (boooooooooring)

Joe deserved it, but I thought Olly had a really good weekend.

Leon Jackson was a scared Rabbit and crap voice..Unless he sung Big Band

Joe is cool and with a tweak will sell records.

He's won a million pound recording contract which is very different from being given one million pounds.
He could end up with nothing.

With Appearances,advertising,radio and TV and CD sales he will earn 1 million easy.

dmpoole- Witrh respect,I'm not stupid and know the difference between the two.

Rydian is still earning money 2 years on turning on city xmas lights.

Again, not necessarily because he will owe Simon Cowell and Sony.
I'm pretty sure Steve Brookstein never became a millionaire, in fact he's probably playing small clubs for a pittance.

He was an old man.So his audience was not teens with expendable incomes.

Very interesting.
Joe was the most consistent. He didnt set any huge scores until the final.

I can see Danyl carving out a career for himself.
I can see Joe fading, after the first big single and then becoming going into musicals (which is what Gareth Gates is doing right now).

Taken from wikipedia:

"In 2009 he was working on producing his wife Eileen Hunter's jazz album and performing at smaller venues such as Pizza Express in Maidstone"

Exactly

Exactly

Old man and different market

I don't like to laugh at people's misfortune, but that headline of Steve Brookstein ending up earning his money singing in Pizza Express, had me unable to stop laughing.

Its a shame that XFactor promises its hopefuls real fame and fortune. What it does is guarantee them a No.1 single, but after that, they are effectively on their own and it is upto them to make their own careers.

Obviously Will Young has done well. Leona Lewis is the other singer who is most likely to do well, over a long period of time.

I was watching a documentary a few years back about Gareth Gates and when he was dropped by his record company. It was sad to see that happen, given his undoubted singing ability.

 

[person]

The best man won .. I was rooting for Joe all along and just hope now that he makes the most of the opportunity and works hard to be a success, only he can make it happen and if he doesn't work hard he will flop.

Are you looking at the same percentages as me? He set the majority percentage for the last 5 shows Take show 7, for example, if 1million people voted then 342,000 voted for him, double that of the next contestant. That form continues until the end of the series.

 

[Azza]

Proper taking the mick out of Simon Cowell on Radio1.

I agree.

In today's Metro they reported how his recent 'hits' album and single have flopped and how he's turned back to acting (in Skins?!) well at least he's doing something

Joe resembles too many carbon cutouts now I'll be very surprised if he lasts long.

I'm glad Joe won as he was most consistent and probably most talented in there.

 

[Sonea Fifer]

Best thing last night on xfactor was Hollys dress

pics????????????????????????????????????????????

Didn't manage to capture her lovely dress - but I did get a pic of the new single:

On topic though - I think the best singer won, the final song was really geared up for Joe all along and I'm sure there's many people who knew who'd win after Olly's attempt at "The Climb"

 

[zootfloot]

Alexandra and JLS was surprisingly good.
George Michael was alright, a tad boring.
Leona Lewis stole the whole series, yet again.

Couldnt agree more.

For me the best contestant won, Joe was consistantly better than any of the others and for that he deserved to win, do i think he will have a long healthy music career...NO, i can see him doing the stage shows such as Joseph and doing really well out of that.
