Not sure if this was posted previously but just saw this - his dad says that Eoghan is planning to come back "bigger and better".

I suppose now that the album has flopped, his dad has little to lose by coming out and criticising the production of the album. He described the critics as "snobs" when the album first came out. Interesting how their willingness to speak up has changed.

Link won't come up but if you google it, it's there.

Anyone feel there is hope for Eoghan?

No. He suited the image of the young cute lad that the pre-teens could have their first crush on and the grannies could coo over but he doesn't have what it takes to cut it in the real music industry. He might have low profile success but he won't have a serious pop career.

I've nothing against the lad, he seems harmless but there is nothing about him to create a buzz and set him apart from any other nice young lad. He might have done well in a boyband but JLS have that market sewn up now.

Nothing against the lad, but needs a few more years working at his voice before considering coming back. I know artists that have taken years out who are much more accomplished performers.

Mary PatriciaThe pop industry can afford to be picky when it
it comes to schoolboy singers whose voices are not yet far enough beyond breaking to be listenable. Contrary to a lot of posters, I think he can sing but Eoghan will need a year or two yet. I can sing myself in key but my voice is too distorted to be listenable.

I wasn't aware he was ever big enough to warrant a "comeback".

Nice boy, but unbelievably bland, and has an average voice. Justin Bieber has Eoghan's potential market - Eoghan has no chance.

Good luck to him. He's so young he could totally reinvent himself and has many years ahead to build a career and develop. I'm glad he's not giving up. XF too often shatters dreams as much as it can make them.

Ew, no. Not him!

I thought he was awful even for the tween pop genre, and it's ridiculous he got as far as he did. He got by for so long purely on the teenie/granny votes.

Lily Rose. It was more a case of votes from N. Ireland and the fact that EQ was from the next village to the one I'm from. XF voters in Britain really only voted in big numbers at the semifinal stage and swamped Eoghan's voters who were spending fortunes in all live rounds up till then.

He wasn't swamped in the semi-finals he made it to the final, Diana went out in the semi's.

YesTigerpaws, I know EQ got to the final and was then swamped by the votes from Britain. The increased votes in the semifinal made it inevitable he would struggle in the final
I thought he was an ok singer, but they shouldn't have 16 year olds in XFactor. It gives them a false sense of their future in the industry which is usually harsh.

I'd say even people down the pub are better singers than Eoghan! He was truly dire - the worst contestent to ever make it to the finale. I still can't believe he did!

His dribbling wet-face look didn't help matters for me, either.

If I remember correctly the telephone lines from N.I were out of action on the finals night for some mysterious reason, that said he wasnt good enough to win it.

I'm from NI and agree with the comment about the phone lines being dodgy at the final. My sister rang about 30 times from our home phone and only got through 5 times. Saying that I'm glad he didn't come first or second because I much prefer Alex and JLS. Hope all goes well, he is young and has time to recreate his image and work on his voice. Also, whoever was in charge of his album should be ashamed it was complete rubbish.

No that sounds about right. Back when we were allowed vote in the South I was voting for Rydian in the final and only one in about five calls got answered. It's the same for every contestant.

There's always going to be more people calling than phones to take the call, which I don't understand. The calls are automated so why don't they fork out for more? More phones would mean more votes and more money for them.

Maybe he'll relaunch as a gangsta rapper leading his b*tches around on dog leads. Might work.
