The lives could have been done with their singing quality.

I agree, both would have improved the show immensely!

*tries to resist saying told you so to a few forum members who went by the terrible edit on the show and didn't believe me when I said Nate was one of the best who ever auditioned*



....

How does releasing a song with a fellow reject under an independent label warrant a "I told you so" moment?!

Caitlyn is sooo unlikeable.. I can't bear her! There's a reason why she wasn't picked for the lives. She's desperate for fame, it's so cringe. Sure she can sing, but she's just a nasty person.

Have you met her or do you have any first hand evidence that she's a nasty person?

What a ridiculous unfounded post. She showed no bad behaviour in the VT she featured in and acted with dignity when she was stitched up at JH. I assume you're referring to the bully story hear'say which hasn't been substantiated by people coming forward in the media. All the contestants in the lives are desperate for fame!

We have more evidence of Honey G and Gifty's dislikeability and they were picked for the lives.

It will be ace if it does better than the winners single. In fact it would be hilarious.

I love how much you hate The X Factor.

This song will show how great his voice is and his musicality, which his terribly manipulated and edited and mixed auditions did not. That's how. Sidenote-I think it's a shame that people fall for editing on their personalities as well.I assure you, if any of you were a contestant they could make you look terrible too,no matter how nice you may actually be.


I really hope people buy this single instead Given Nate's amazing voice Caitlynn's lovely voice, and the X Factor's track record for singles at Christmas,I think they could have a shot if enough people go for quality over hype.

I'm looking forward to this I hope it does really well for both of them! I love Nates voice

I think that there's every chance that it could do well.

I think they need someone respected in the industry to give them a bit of backing and publicity otherwise people won't get to hear about it. Their own twitter accounts won't be enough.

Could be time for a Richard Branson Liberty X moment (as Cowell would say

Either way I am expecting some impressive vocals.

LOL it won't even put a dent in the top 100.

But good luck to them, Nate was the best singer of the series and it's a joke that Freddy and Ryan got a place over him.

Yep, agree on both counts. Although Peyton was my absolute favourite this year, Nate was a close second and I still can't understand that neither got through to lives

Didn't you say somewhere that you were Nate's vocal coach though?

He was my favourite, couldn't believe when he never got through, no dis respect to the other boys but he was in a different league.

Yes That is how I know he has a nearly 4 octave range and is *that* good. I have worked with a LOT of vocalists over the decades and he is the most amazing of them Not just his rare talent and Sam Cooke-esque with a modern twist voice but his innate musicality his love of and dedication to music , and his spirit .Singers like Nate do not happen but once or twice in a generation and many who( unlike me at this stage) can actually do something about it are as impressed as I was when I first heard 15 year old him sing .I helped him,yes,but he will and deserves to succeed far beyond my modest success,and I could not be more proud of Nate as a human being as well as an artist

Good to hear.

Caitlyn comes across to me who someone who thinks she deserves success but isn't prepared to work for it

I dont remember her at all even after watching on youtube

Are you seriously comparing a ten-a-penny session singer on a quest for instant fame to one of the greatest vocalists that ever lived?

She does come across as an entitled madam.....probably an inflated ego from some people telling her she should have made live shows.

I'm surprised that people thought that, she didn't come across like that to me. Samantha was the one who through a strop and started a petition.


Having said that I don't think they should be making it like a novelty sticking-it-to-the-man type single to keep x factor off Xmas number 1. Both should be thinking about a longer term career in music. If it's good people will buy it and the next one as well.

I hope that they will get good promotion for this as it really could put a spanner into the works of XF.

No. I am comparing the wonderful voiced talented Nate to Sam, because , unlike you , I have heard Nate at his best . Several prominent industry people have said the same actually ,so I am in good company.Just wait about a year and you will know what I cannot spoiler yet

Hope this is as good as I think it will be.
