Taken from a DS poster, which is exactly what will happen.



Silly, silly people think they're harming Simon by voting for Chris. You're harming your pockets.

even if the million votes received last night was true the money syco would make from that would hardly cover the bill for the donuts tulisa eats over the weekend

we need a prediction thread.. i think he will be dropped by May

Same could be said for Jahmene and James. Both would bomb.

Syco will still sign Jahmene and James as they can see that they will be successful . Well James anyway has he is ready to release already , he writes songs. To cover for Chris failed sales they will already have singed James who I'm assuming will do well in the sales and they won't have lost as much money.

calm down - you wont have to wait as hes not going to win and they wont sign him.

april 30th

He is going to win.

May is too genorous.. I think by March/April. The album will be released about Febuary.

All three will bomb - as far as selling records is concerned. I doubt any of them will still have a deal by this time next year.

I've got February 18th, 2013.

im shocked by the 1m votes figure. thought it would be way more

Yep.

And I wish people would stop thinking James or Jahmene will go on to be fantastic singers. They could easily end up like Leon Jackson or Steve Brookstein.

Not everyone is successful from the X Factor and a lot of it is down to timing and a place in the market.

If chris wins I doubt we will have to wait a year for the debut album and I doubt we will be seeing him on next years lives

In fact funnily enough the only one we probably got any chance of seeing on next years lives is union j

just in time for mothers day

They dropped the million quid thing .. only think he is guaranteed 1 single

That glorious moment when Chris is proclaimed winner, the look on Tulisa and Louis's faces, Chris collapsing to the floor in a fit of emotion, his nan rushing on to stage to hug him, the faux outrage on Digital Spy, the meltdown on Twitter and Facebook, the irreparable damage to the 'credibility' of The X Factor, all would be worth every single penny spent on voting for Chris to win.

Chris winning is a perfect end to the farce X Factor has become. I love how Louis slagged off The Voice's winner yet X Factor is about to get an even worse one !!

Rough justice that.

Not like Steve or Leon . . . they were pretty much obviously gonna be short lived. Leon had the possibility of exploiting a niche at least (Bublé), but nothing he ever did on the show suggested he was capable of that.

James on the other hand is exactly what the judges say: very current. That doesn't mean he's going to make it, as material and timing are key, like you said. Jahmene's success I have a harder time picturing, but maybe his idea of the continued retro revival might bear out.

Look out for this in the bargain bucket at Asda:

I don't suppose Chris cares whether he is dropped by Syco or not. Career wise, he is now set up for life.

Possibly. I do actually think he'd be great in panto. If his face could start to transmit emotion, he'd do well in theatre maybe?

Well, not really. All those voting for Chris, will never buy the single, never buy the album, ending in not just the 'credibility' of X factor, but the utter meltdown of a bloke who thinks the public loves. What part of that makes anyone feel good?

Surely a much better approach is, if you don't like X Factor, watch something else, not rocket science is it? That way, those who have a genuine interest in the programme and for who they genuinely want to go forward, rather than 'sticking it up Simon Cowell' will always end up with a winner who really is a loser.

I just cannot wait until next week now. I might even break the habit of a lifetime and vote, it will be a fabulous moment if it comes off

I thought the winner was tied into the contract for a 12month and they dont get to release their first album for around 10 mnths after winning, usually the winners album comesout as the next series is starting.
