As I said in your other thread he is a shoe in for the win + to flop
He's a shy, young male with a good voice... but how the heck would you market him |

I think so, yes. He fits the mold for XF winner - male, bland, dull, charisma free.
A shoo in to win and be forgotten about in 18 month time |

Jahmene has zero star quality, or musical identity, and I don't know why the producers bother to attempt bringing Chris down and Jahmene up because in my opinion, there is little difference.

I can imagine the marketing team at Sony getting nervous in case Jahmene wins. It's very difficult if the artist doesn't offer anything to work with, I'm guess this is the reason the producers would prefer a James Arthur win, because as Gary said, he is ready. It would probably be best for Jahmene to do what Joe is doing now, go for the classic soul sound. It is a niche market, but then it's better than putting himself high up, only to be dragged down. Start from the middle. |

He's bland and dull personality wise, his interviews on Xtra Factor have been pure cringe as he fails to even connect to the interviewer. He'll release an album of pure 70's/80's soul but won't be able to sustain anything beyond that. Maybe a career in theatre will be his only option at a lasting success. No way will the core 13-20 year olds buy into him, his success if any will be the older market. Hence an album around March for mothers day rather than in Q4.

Probably. Feel good, party type songs are "in" the moment and I can't see Jahmene pulling that off even if they didn't compromise his principles.

It would probably be best for Jahmene to do what Joe is doing now, go for the classic soul sound. It is a niche market, but then it's better than putting himself high up, only to be dragged down. Start from the middle. Jahmene has a jazz/gospel sound and I'd market him as towards an albums-only Rebecca Feguson/Adele/Amy Winehouse audience. |

He's far too awkward, serious and miserable to appeal to the younger record buying public and the grannies simply don't bother buying the music of the acts they vote for as we have seen countless times in the past.

As someone who is a lifelong fan of soul music, he just doesn't have soul. he sings by numbers and that is not what soul is about. he doesn't have the heart, the passion, the raw emotion to be called a real soul singer. he might sell to people who's idea of soul music is Simply Red but he will never be a proper soul artist.
I also am a lifelong soul fan . As for the personality I don't think it really matters. His voice is good enough sell worldwide . Loads of artists with "no personality " have still had huge careers |

He would do well in America on the Gospel scene. Which is the music he wants to do anyway.

How many people would realistically pay £50 to go and see him at the O2? You might as well watch a cardboard cutout with a backing track - poor lad just doesn't have 'it'. No stage presence, no star quality and no connection with his audience. OK, people might go and see him once because they like his voice and style of music but I doubt they'd go twice.
The judges always say they're looking for the next big recording artist but it's pretty common knowledge that in these digital days nobody's making millions selling albums anymore. Bands used to tour to promote albums, now they make albums to promote tours. They need to adjust the format of the whole show and look for the next great live artist/band..................and I don't think that's any of the current crop of XF hopefuls. |

I agree with you, I don't expect him to set the charts alight here, but I think Simon will push him in the US whether he wins this or not. |

To be honest, I don't see any of the remaining guys doing anything after the show. Jahmene, James, Chris, Rylan ... They are all hopeless.

I could name loads of successful artists with no "stage presence " |

If he's lucky he just might manage that.
