Just stating fact: some runner-ups , or even did-not-reach-the-final contestants done better then winners.
Which is what Fleur East has.
A quite critically acclaimed album, the best selling song of the summer and she came sixth. Compare that to the glittering careers of most winners.
900k+ Ghost Sales
120k+ Glow Sales

Yeah Thats 'Nothing'
Well said.
And lots didn't do better, it's nothing to do with winning and coming 2nd it's down to the material and marketing they are given after the show.
Why so gleeful about anticipating someone's failure? Comes across as a massive character flaw, that.
You sound like a nice person, I bet you're fun a parties.
What, that in a year everyone will be like Fleur who?
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see her stuck in the same sort of stasis as Leona was down the line as they can't quite come up with the ideas to keep her momentum going.
How about just giving her a bit of credit for what she has achieved already instead of trying to put her down.
Well it could be - Ben, Fleur, Lauren etc who unless they have decent material, there is always room for more artists. All depends on the songs.
You mean in the same way you were bitching about Ben having his '15 minutes' and 'will be back to driving his van next year' yesterday because you were upset he beat your current poster-child?
Thanks for the advice, but I prefer not to be a hypocrite.
Ha ha ha ha.
I would say 1D & Olly are currently the most consistant & successful.
What's the % of artists that manage to remain relevant for 10 years out of the global pool?
1 hit wonders or 1 album wonders aren't only an X factor thing. Having a couple of albums & singles doing well is hard to achieve IMO. Let's not ask for very hard to reach standarts, it makes it seem like this show doesn't produce anyone who did decently in comparison to non-X Factor acts. I think it did.
