Do you think Sam Callahan can have a successful singing career after X-Factor

Gary's comments, in particular, were very damning. I actually think he's better now than he was in the first shows but even so I certainly wouldn't pay to listen to him. He would honestly struggle to compete at a lot of karaoke competitions I've heard.

I know people talk about his teen girl fanbase. I don't know whether that's for real or not, but will they stay loyal or is the X-Factor tour (assuming he makes it) likely to be the highpoint of his career?

Having said that, I know he writes so it's not impossible that he won't right a hit tune or two. The drummer from Bros has turned out to have the most successful career of all of them, mostly due to his writing.

I don't think Sam will make it as a singer though.

    Robbie Williams has always sounded to me like he is singing with his head in a bucket, but he got a £90 million advance or something stupid like that.

    :gallic shrug:

    Anything is possible. But on the whole I think your first paragraph is on the money.

    With the right team behind his yes. I'm not a fan of the guy but you don't need to be able to sing to make it in the music industry. He has a great attitude and seems like one of the nice guys in the industry. Most importantly he seems to have a very dedicated fan base and is willing to work hard. I don't think the competition will be losing him anytime soon.

    Do you think his fanbase is big enough to see him through to the final? I think that's what he'll need.

    I think he will be in the top 5. his fan base can't get complacent it's week 5 and he still hasn't been in the bottom 2 so he has a fighting chance if his fan base keeps on upping their game each passing week. Relight My Fire wasn't a good choice for him. His song choice for this week is looking more promising.

    I think he'll probably scrub up well and look quite handsome in a tux, so that'll help. I wonder if the tailor can help the proportion between his legs and his upper body.... :cool:

    not sure I agree his song choice this week is more promising

    I had a listen to a couple of the songs that I wasn't immediately familiar with, his being one of them, on spotify earlier and its hard to imagine someone with such a weak voice doing it after listening to the dean martin version

    I keep hearing and reading people say that he needs to have the right song for him, but I don't think there is a right song for him. He's just a poor singer and there is no song that's actually going to suit his voice.

    well there are some songs that they can hide his vocals a bit but don't see how they can do that with this song this week

    All Sam will need to do to survive is to come out in a speedo and bow tie, sing like a dying snake and presto he's through. I don't know what Louis has planned but if he can stoop low enough to have him projected shirtless doing some boxing, surely he will stoop as low as a speedo?

    If this happened they would have to duck tape Louis Walsh's wanking hand to the judges desk so he doesn't feel like having a crafty one under the desk while watching Sam in a speedo. :eek:

    There is nothing Louis won't stoop to. The man is an evil genius when it comes to harnessing the power of bad taste. :D

    It's weird - posts keep disappearing from threads? Who's removing them I wonder?

    Some singers are better suited to musical theatre. However, I think Sam C would be better suited to gay porn.

    Yes, if he has a good marketing / promo team behind him he can!!

    Just look at One Direction. They were awful during the live show on X Factor but due to good marketing, they're the biggest band in the world at the moment!!

    i don't think even the worst singer in one direction has as bad a voice as he does tho , and their voices can be hidden easier being in a group

    i agree with the right marketing and material anything is possible but his voice is just way to weak for even that imo

    If he learns how to 'sing'.

    I don't think he's got the charisma of a Williams or even 1D to make up for his vocals
