You didn't add that Yvie acknowledged that they had got it completely wrong with Joe and he would be making another album. Yvie stressed that Joe had the voice.

I absolutely love the Winner's single. I think it may be very commercial. It has at three other songs that Matt sung that have already had millions of views on youtube. I will be buying this week.

Yes, there is a campaign against the Syco Xmas No 1 again. Hopefully, they will be more prepared for it this year than they were with Joe. I would hate to see anyone miss out when they have worked so hard to achieve their dreams. It really killed me what happened with Joe and I would not wish that on anyone else.

I hope they are true to their word and put right everything that was done wrong with Joe. I still believe in this young man and feel confident that what will be will be and it will be right for Joe.

BTW loved seeing him on Xtra last night. He never ceases to amaze me. Cool when really he had to be having the worst kind of day. Bless you Joe!

Hope it's not with Syco

I missed this morning, catching up on some sleep lol What exactly was said?

I can't remember the little snippet too much. It was a bit on that the win was not necessarily a prerequisite for success. Dan Wooton said he really liked Joe and that it was disappointing that he only got to No 68 in the Charts with his single. Yvie looked genuinely sad and disappointed to. She said something about getting it wrong with Joe and another single. She stressed about his amazing voice.

Pretty much what we all know any way. Syco Management has to take huge responsibility for what has happened. The finger is pointing at them not at Joe. I think a lot of detractors even acknowledge that. Musical theatre was mentioned again.

Wish they would stop with all the musical theatre thing. Joe has said he wants to be a pop star..would maybe consider it in the future

It was lauren that said he'd be good for musical theatre. I thought shut up lol.

Yvie said, perhaps he needs to go in a differant direction.

I did'nt see this today, but am saddened by all thats happened to him with the poor sales of Wide Awake.

My worry is that should Joe do another album and go back to his XF roots ie album of ballads, would the general public give him another chance as I feel the boat has already gone and he won't be given the chance to showcase the next album in the same way. Will the radio stations play his next lot of music just because his first album was not radio friendly. I doubt it, and to be honest I don't know how Syco will be able to promote him any differently next time.

Sorry guys, just my opinion, have the monday morning feeling.

It's shame. I have no idea why they produced an album which was as far removed as possible from what made Joe popular on the show. That is the sort of thing that should of been done further down the road once Joe was established. I hate to admit it but the album has alienated a lot of the original fans that Joe had.

Had a fabulous weekend, Nightgales was much better than GAY and Revenge. Thanks to the DS girls for all the laughs especially my adopted daughter Hayley. Also a big thank you to the main man of the weekend Joe.

After his shocked face on Thursday when I said we were going to Dublin I didn't expect that reaction from him when I said we were looking into Belfast, Joe said "You must come makes sense when you are already in Ireland it's only a 2 hour drive away" I'm so easily led

Think there are a few now going to Belfast.

Looking forward to Dublin now (and hopefully Belfast)

I really don't know what can be done to fix this mess SyCo have made but I live in hope that Joe will one day soon be recognised & appreciated in the way he deserves to be for his stunning voice. I wish I had some inside knowledge on how it all worked just so I would know if there was anymore hope...I guess it's another matter of wait and see.

Wide awake rose 9 places in the chart last week
