    So many so called 'talented' singers and very few of them went on to make any noteworthy careers.

    Will Young, Girls Aloud, Leona Lewis, maybe to extent Alexandra Burke? A whole stream of failures after that. Makes a mockery of Cowells programmes.

    She's not a winner though.

    My favourite winner is Leona Lewis.

    Kelly Clarkson from American Idol.
    If I had to pick a UK act I would probably pick Girls Aloud!!

    Then:
    Little Mix with Leona Lewis/Alexandra Burke not too far behind.

    I voted Leona but I have to say Alex Parks is an incredible talent. Cry is an amazing song. It's a shame her success was so limited..

    Should this be in the Music thread? I'd have thought Showbiz was more appropriate.

    Girls Aloud, followed by Will Young and Alexandra Burke.

    Surprised Will Young has so few votes. He's probably the most talented of them all.

    One True Voice lost the race to #1 but Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh, Anton Gordon, Matt Johnson, Daniel Pearce, Keith Semple and Jamie Shaw all won the show by winning places into their respective groups.

    (I bet you can guess which group of names I had to google).

    Will Young is the best easily imo. He has done some fantastic songs, and is quite experimental.

    I also liked Leona Lewis, Little Mix, James Arthur and Girls Aloud were alright.

    I also am the one who voted Hear'say... :o Just because I loved them as a kid..
