Maloney, seriously???
I have never said a bad word about Christopher and I think it is disgusting how the judges have treated him this series, especially, Tulisa, but...
I just watched the episode and it bummed me out that he got the lyrics to You Raise Me Up wrong and he made Haven't Met You Yet sound even more cheesy than it already is. I actually like that song, but I was so bored hearing him sing it, even though it was uptempo. Usually when Louis tells Chris it sounds like karaoke, I think he is just being mean, but that really did sound like bad karaoke. On a side note, they give James Arthur way too much praise. His tone is really irritating after he gets a minute or so into a song. Could you imagine him having an entire album? He whines when he sings and it isn't pleasant to listen to, IMO. |

The thought of any of them winning a singing competition is strange. I don't hate any of them, but I just don't see them as winners. There are far better singers out there.

Surely you see some talent in Jahmene? Even a smidgen?! His version of 'At Last' was ace.

I agree that Chris's second song was worse than his first, but I have no faith in Louis or Tulisa to play anything but games over Chris. They are just doing Cowell's bidding, Louis because its his friend, Tulisa so she gets invited back.

For me none of them have the X Factor this year, however I think that Christopher has a good enough voice to do stage musicals, westend etc. And yes people sneer about that, but fact is......to be on stage that way requires more singing ability than you will ever see in the pop charts. So even though Im not a Christopher fan I can see where it would do his career some good. To be honest I don't rate any of them that highly.

I personally don't see him as a viable recording artist (certainly not the type of artist X Factor is looking for anyway), and if I were a judge all I could really do is admit he can sing and that he's obviously liked by some people. |

Winner or not, Maloney will disappear without a trace when the show's over — unless he makes headlines for reasons other than his singing.

I get your point, though. Chris probably has the most potential to have a steady career after this. |

Don't underestimate the pop chart. There are people there who have done musicals and some that can sing better than what their music suggests.

Maloney could get regular work from this. Cruise ships, panto, regional touring in one of those jukebox musicals. Just not going to dent the pop charts.

I guess what i was trying to say was....there are many in the pop charts who cannot sing without electronic enhancement. Christopher is clearly not a pop star, however he could have a steady career on the stage with a decent living from the X Factor exposure, that's all i really meant.

Why should the pop charts be the goal? Success isn't based on how many hits in the pop chart you have.
To imagine that Chris will be top of the hit parade is a tad optimistic.

I agree. That's one thing I hate about these shows. They try to create a pop star. Not everyone is meant to or wants to be a pop star.

Isn't being a pop star the reason people enter X Factor competition?

I actually think he has such a bitchy/arrogant/stupid persona I think he would be great asset to celeb big brother. Except rylan has that spot now!

No Floh they don't all enter the show to be a pop star, some enter simply for the exposure like Lucy, Rylan etc.....Like in the USA Tate is never going to be a pop star, a country music star maybe but never pop.....there are other genres of music out there
