Who will have the longest and most successful career in the industry?

Of all twelve finalists, who do you think, if marketed appropriately, could have a successful career in music, whether it be short or long term?

Joe
Olly
Stacey
Danyl
Lloyd
Jedward
Jamie
Lucie
Rachel
Miss Frank
Rikki
Kandy Rain

Olly, Stacey, Danyl and Miss Frank imo. Jedward will definately do well out of the show.

I doubt any of the groups will get anywhere musically this time... Jedward will be on kids telly, that's about it.

For solo artists I think Olly and Jamie will have the most longevity. Others will have careers, but none as long as say Will's.

Stacey, Danyl and Jedward. Maybe Miss Frank, but I don't know...

Stacey and Danyl definitely. Even though I detest Danyl's voice, he is technically good. All he needs to do is enunciate

Olly will flop, Joe will be a one-hit wonder and Stacey will be the Leona of the Alternative genre.

Simon.

Long after they've all come and gone, his name will be the one that people will remember.

John and Edward (though not musically.)
I can see Joe in musical theatre for a long time though.

Short term many may have a some success, but 3 years and beyond...

If marketed properly & correct song choices and styles...
Lloyd
Stacey


Other areas...
J/E (in entertainment/ film/ tv/ etc industry, probably not music industry)
Rachel/ Lucy/ Daniel (Broadway, West End)
Joe (Not sure if it will be music or music/ theatre)

None. I can see quite a few going to the west end or just in musicals though - Lucie, Joe, Rachel and Danyl.

Joe, because he has such a very fine voice, will have a career in the West End at the least.

Jedward will have a career in entertainment/presenting/reality TV.....but in music??

Don't know about the long term prospects of the others....Olly's will be better if he wins.

John and Edward have a superb opportunity by being signed by Louis Walsh (and I'm sure already signed by Syco, but the announcement is being withheld for the time being) and they have every chance of success for 5 or so years as pop stars. I think they'll be the only ones with long term success. No matter the neigh sayers, they actually can sing!

They also have the only prospect of any form of longevity in show business in general outside of music. They've already made a start.

Olly for his showbiz ability.

Joe for his voice.

Jedward but not singing.

Neither....as music artists alone (of the final 2).

Olly - if he goes into TV.

Joe - if he goes to the West End.

As for the rest, I'd like to think Lucie, Danyl and Stacey will be about but who knows?

Danyl.

Jedward may have a career in TV.

Joe and Olly have no long-term future in the recording industry. I don't really think Stacey does either.

Nothing further to add on the John & Edward front.

I think Joe will do well in musical theatre.

It's not really my cup of tea, but I hope Miss Frank stay together as they have something that works.

Danyl definately. Others maybe in different areas.

I'm actually thinking Olly or Miss Frank. Maybe Danyl. And Jedward could certainly go into presenting.
