I don't know what I'm finding more frustrating.
The fact we had to fight Sams Corner for 10 weeks to get her to the finish line.
The fact that certain people harped on and on and on about charting and sales figures (quite why listeners are so concerned with how much money is going in cow ells pocket ill never know) even thought she's just scored Number 1 at christmas (surely this proves sales are down across the music industry
Or the Fact that since she's won we've had thread upon thread upon thread attempting to trip her up, or demean her success or make out she's not likes WHEN IN FACT SHE WON THE ENTIRE COMPETITION!
Its the same few people who are so determined that they were right in there opinions throughout the contest that they dig and dig for voting stats, sales figures.
They embellish the bad points and exaggerate them to bring down Sams success because they're so enraged she won
BORED of the same threads on here and I'm bored of the anti Sam brigade.
She's an AMAZING talent, with an AMAZING voice, who WON the X factor and has just scored christmas No1 in the UK and Ireland
and NOTHING you say or do with your fictional stats can take that away from her

Bolded for the unself-aware lols.
I was going to say that but I managed to resist
Yer difference is i WAS right
She is Michelle McManus - Version 2.
She too had a good voice and won Pop Idol - but sadly I fear for Sam in the same way, in that they will struggle to plop her into a sector (which is what happens to all X Factor type winners).
What? She was viewer favourite - and producer favourite - from Week 1. What 'fighting' did you have to do? It was hardly a great triumph against adversity by an unpopular underdog.
Win.

Sam Bailey won the X Factor. She is expected to sell well.
The reality is, she sold less than all other winners before her except for Steve Brookstein. STEVE BROOKSTEIN. STEVE. BROOKSTEIN.
I guess Sam Bailey is just another proof that X Factor Winners over the age of 30 are a no-no and should be avoided at all cost in the future.
AND YET IS STILL CHRISTMAS NO 1
THAT is more of a comment on todays chart success than anything else. If she's NO1 how badly is everyone else selling.
People over 30 listen to music too you know.
The real reality is that she outsold everyone this week including Leona, AC/DC, Eminem, 1D and Gary Barlow.
I'd say that was nothing to be sniffed at and I'd be pretty damn happy if I were her.
I'm also very sick of the same threads appearing >:(
People that bought it for the charity aspect :- 148,999
People that bought it for the singer aspect :- 1 ( Tillymint82 )
;-)
Well done to Sam Bailey for shifting just 150k of her winners single after a final watched by more than 9m people against artists who have been out for more than a month or in AC/DC's case out for 20 plus years!
Seriously her sales figures are awful for a winner of any reality show!
Yet STILL no1

Only 1 million votes cast for her to win, 6 million to get Abbey over the line on Strictly
And look at that, she's Christmas number one 2013, probably the only number one she is likely to get before Cowell gets bored and moves on to his next project and lets her go
Correct - but considering the exposure with crap sales
So a victory... But a hollow one - as they say empty vessels make the most noise
Isn't it funny how everyone has been bleating on about how you gotta be in the charts to have success ? And now that Sam is No.1, it no longer matters ?
The hypocrisy from the haters is getting funnier by the minute. I cannot wait to see just how much more desperate this Sam bashing is gonna get.
yet still number 1 outselling every other musician this week.
Yes, she is number one, just like every other X Factor winner. It's a formality and means next to nothing. My gut instinct is that Sam's future career, apart from the expected album, will lie in shows & theatre etc. rather than in the charts. Nothing wrong with that, but the X Factor is about finding pop stars/'the next big thing' so it's the chart success people will inevitably look at - get used to it.
