Have They Given Up On Sam Bailey Already?

Louis said something recently which made me think Sam Bailey had already been consigned to the dumpster...
Louis Walsh: "There has absolutely been disappointment about winners in the past. But then the public pick, and if they pick people like Sam Bailey or that awful Steve Brookstein, then there’s nothing we can do."
After the winner's single... don't they usually spend a year recording the album and then launch it proper during the live shows? If they were preparing this kind of thing with Sam, why would Louis say such a thing?
Also, her Twitter feed in the last 3 months... she's been tweeting pictures of her cleavage and things... really funny things... that just don't fit with the whole Syco-grooming-future-star- thing... It crossed my mind that things may not have been going well recently and then I read that quote... Do you think they were annoyed she got preggers?
Perhaps I'm reading too much into it?
Will be interesting to see if she comes back to perform during the lives.

Her debut album may have been riddled with covers and marketed for mothers day but it stil went to number 1. Regardless of sales, a number 1 looks brilliant for an artist.
Why would they rush Sam's out? Do you think they anticipated that the public wouldn't be interested for long? (wrongly or rightly)
The whole aim of ensuring Sam won was to target the Mother's Day market. This is usually the market for 2nd place singers such as Jahmene.
That is was an album of covers really shows how little interest they had in her, just a quick cash cow and then thrown away. Her pregnancy would also angered Syco as they have a history of pushing acts off the show as soon as they discover the pregnancy.
It seems that most of the Syco funding will be used to hype Ella Henderson and their new 8 piece boyband so Sam Bailey won't have much of a look in.
And looks about 47.
Indeed. Don't get me wrong, she was very best of a very bad bunch from last year and the only deserving winner but a label like Syco did not want her as an X Factor winner.
So why did they push her as "the winner" every week?
All of the above. As we've seen time and time again, the people who vote in these shows are not the people who spend money on music, gigs etc.
Year after year, bland and vanilla wins the show but the acts that Cowell has already decided he can market get promoted while the winners disappear quietly - obviously with 1 or 2 exceptions.
Are they good pics ???
Because she was the only deserving winner last year? The rest of the contestants were tragically bad last year.
Unless they get someone/someones who they can really push and milk like One Direction there is no point wasting time or money on someone who will fail to be a long term commercial success.
Little Mix say hello....
It was actually because she's mates with Max Clifford who put her forward to Cowell a couple of years ago, and they dropped all the good singers before the lives to give her a free ride.
Lol...so bad...so bad...just an awful Syco hyped mime act.

In Sams case it is all about making the most of the lime light because she knows and we all know that it won't last.
Least she has been given a chance, and has done okay in her brief period of being in the lime light.
Why
2 platinum Albums, sell out arena tour, 2 top 10 U.S albums and success across Europe, Japan and Australia beg to differ.
Hate all you want but you can't take away their success lol.
