If they were to win, Syco are gonna have to be confident that people will buy their records. Marcus is the bookies favorite to win, or maybe Craig, whoever, would you buy their records?
It would depend on the record, I like Marcus and his performances are entertaining to watch and his voice has a nice tone, however some of the song choices have been awful so it's hard to judge. If I liked the type of music he produced I would otherwise, no.
Craig, definitely not, I don't like his voice, not for me.

It would depend whether the records were any good or not. These days, it's easy enough to hear large samples of albums prior to release and all of them free of charge shoerly after. If they sound worth the buying, I'd buy. I do not buy shit records, no matter who has made them.
Neither. I think that they're both good enough to win X Factor but neither are good enough to have a sustained recording career.
I've never bought an X Factor contestant's album at all (in fact the only talent show artist I've bought an album of is Will Young) but I'll probably buy Rebecca Ferguson's (from last year) when her's is released and I'd consider buying an album from Misha from this year's crop.
Oh - and I'd DEFINITELY pay to watch a concert featuring Kitty - I think she's the best at combining a visual show with decent vocals. She'd be well value for money in a concert set-up.
I like them both reasonably well on the live shows. The only track by either of them that I have played more than once is a Marcus where he had some really gorgeous girl dancers. I played that one three or four times just because I fancied one of them.
So no I would never buy their records.
I know I am biased but in all seriousness I don't think anyone except Janet really has a big enough following to sell albums.
