For all the talk of Treyc not being expected to win because she is dull, I'd like you all to look at the previous winners of X Factor and acknowledge that a sparkling personality had zero to do with their victories.

Brookstein won because....... he was a housewives favourite and the other contestants were awful;

Shayne won because........ he was (still is?) good looking, young and sexy.

Leona won because......she had an amazing voice.

Leon won because....... he was Scottish

Alexandra won because....... she had an amazing voice.

Joe won because........ he had a very good voice.

NONE of those six had what could even loosely be described as a good personality. On the contrary, they are all totally dull.

Strangely enough, I disagree about Alex, who i think has bucket loads.

It depends on what you mean by 'personality'. A (perceived) nice personality is often a factor, although not, I would say, the sole reason for a particular act winning.

Yeah, what the hell do people want the acts to do in order to have a personality that they are supposedly lacking ?

That list is ridicuously biased. Leon: becasuse he was Scottish?

WTF.

How do you really know what any of these people are really like if they were out on the town? I bet Shayne Ward could tell you a few stories that would make you blush!!!

Dull by what standards?

The crap acts that can't sing have to try and stand out on the show by doing something outlandish or they wouldn't even register.

I don't see how Trayc is dull? She seems quite lively to me. Her problem is she's not showing anything unique to stand out from the crowd; we've all seen singers like her come and go over time. She's great, just not original enough.

I agree with Leon (I would add "rubbish" as well) and Steve Brookstein. Leona has a lovely personality and Alexandra is hilarious....especially the moment when she won

It's usually a combination of a good voice and an endearing backstory imho.

Let me just add this for you as you seem to have forgotten it ....

In Your Opinion

Everyone has a personality no one is devoid of one. Whether we respond to it is up to us.

Joe seemed to have quite a bit of personality, he was sort of bubbly(?)

I disagree with some of those. E.g in the case of Leona, people mistake her being reserved for being dull. I actually think she seems quite nice, as did Joe. Also, Alexandra is really bubbly.

Perhaps none of them had huge personalities, but they didn't have huge egos either, people were able to warm to them.

To be fair, she'd probably do my head in after a while. a bit like Alesha Dixon, great in small doses!

Does anybody really care whether they have personality, as long as they are talented (which not many of them are!) I'd rather there were some great singers than a load of TV personalities.

I'm just saying, the "big" characters each year never win. It's the, dare I say it, less interesting people, albeit very nice people, who win. Comprende???
