I mean, he clearly has what it takes. The voice, the looks and, CRITICALLY, the attitude. That kind of - 'I'm really good at this stuff; I'm confident but not cocky' thing going on that is what popstars are made of: cif Harry Styles, Robbie Williams, Jamelia etc.
He can hold a tune - that's a given. But it's the richness of the tone of this voice that impresses me. Crucially, it doesn't sound like he's had a cold for around a week and a half.
I love him, and I'm sure most of the UK will and would (if they haven't had the pleasure of hearing him sing yet).
He's no Janet Devlin - he's going all the way and I can't see him forgetting his words at any point of the competition.
I, personally, cannot wait for him to do a stripped back ballad: Stay by Rihanna, anyone?

This competition is not all about the voice. Sam Callahan would probably do crap if he went on The Voice, but this is The X Factor and I really think he's a little superstar.
If what everybody says is true, he works really really hard and is a really genuine guy.
To quote Louis, 'He's one of the hardest working people I know. ... He has such a great work ethic.'
He also said on the show 'You are a dream to mentor.'
I like that he knows his strengths and his weaknesses, isn't one of those contestants that feels he is entitled and doesn't have to put the effort in and everybody I have spoken to from around here sings his praises and says what a lovely lovely boy he is.
Also, apparently he's brilliant to see live and really gives his audience a good show. I tried to see him live just before XF but the gig got cancelled, I assume because of his XF commitments.
I'm rooting for him. I love when a genuine, hard working person does well. And I love people with ambition and dogged determination. I hope the boy has a great future ahead of him.
(P.S. And I also might be a biased as I love a bit of local Essex talent. )
In a word- Ditto.
Being totally shallow he should win for that reason. Lol.
LOL. Well at least you're honest.
I don't actually think he should win. But there is life after the X Factor, so I hope he has a career after the show. It's often not the winners that come out on top anyway.
:rolleyes:
See, I've watched it a couple of times and I really don't think it was as bad as people are making it out to be. There were a couple of shaky notes, but other than that...
I noticed he pulled his ear piece out half way through as well.
His voice isn't the best (his range is a bit limited, and that's me being nice), but it's not as bad as the forum would like to think. It's more or less serviceable for commercial purposes. Not a fan of excuses, but I read on Twitter that he's on voice rest. I don't know if that's SOP for performers but he must really be sick or something. What concerns me, with respect to the competition, is that it's not highlighted. This means he will probably be on his way out after a month or so (unless he turns people around), as the likes of Kingsland Road and fellow boy Nicholas are higher in the priority scale.
... but please, no Rihanna. Tamera (who's number 1 on my list as of now) did it in JH and that will just give room for comparisons.
His future success will depend on those who back contestants up (i.e. producers). You can be like Gamu and have so much potential, but without the right people, you can only go so far.
Name-dropping Jamelia in a thread with the word "superstar" in it should count as a pun
Argh, no. I don't get the Harry thing at all.
Zayn is a good looking lad, but Harry just looks like he needs a wash to me. Maybe I'm getting old, lol.
I do think XFactor need to lay off the spray tan with Sam. Lol.
I could only sit through it the once, so you may have seen something I didn't. Once was uncomfortable enough
Leftovers from Maloney's time, I reckon.
