Depends on what you believe star means of course
But for me its the quality of the voice, it doesn't matter what they sing it sounds great and that's what makes me buy music
Anyways I know its tough one on XFactor but here's hoping

At the moment Leona and Little Mix are the only former winners on the verge of releasing new material.
As long as the voting public continue voting for bland males with average voices and stubble, then X Factor will never produce another big winner. I dare say this years winner needs to be:
1. Female
2. Under 20
3. Incredible voice
4. Appeal to female voters (major issue with UK talent shows)
Otherwise it'll be another Ben Whonow? winning.
It makes a mockery of the process I feel.
If you compare Leona Lewis to one of the most recent females - Fleur East/Lauren Platt/Tamera Foster - it really makes you realise how low the talent bar is in recent years
I don't think the show will get someone as talented as Leona or as huge as One Direction ever again, however.
I felt that Alexandra was average away from Listen though controversially.
Haha oh I think you misread my post, Fleur was a good entertainer but her voice was average at best
We will see when her album comes out. I have a good feeling it's going to do really well.
The thing is, will it actually be her on the album or a studio auto-tuned clone of her like with Ben who was totally unrecognisable?
My money is on a clone
I much rather see people like LAUREN perform to her strengths and take songs and make it into her style (see her years and years by kings cover, that would have been her best performance on the show)
I want to see what the artist is good at not what they are weak at
What is lauren doing at the moment?. It's all gone very quiet.
I think the point Robert was making is that Simon controls everything we see/hear from songs to clothing to VT's, in other words he manipulates the public and contestants...
That has always been the case since the show started, and he does the same on BGT. Having said that the majority of the GBP should be capable of making up their own minds as to who they like.
The key to what you said there is should be able to make up their own minds... which it seems the majority are not capable of doing as proven year after year when they fall for Simon's manipulation
And in recent years since 2011, the girls category has had the worst luck, due to countless reasons.
She's on the same management site as the top 3
Andrea is very talented, but I can't see him doing that well personally. Stereo Kicks I also doubt will take off, kind of like Union J never did. As for Only The Young, it depends on what they come out with - I can see them possibly doing quite well.
As for Lauren, I doubt she'll even get signed now tbh.
Doesn't mean it's good for her lol
