I'm sure that she will be signed.”
I think the problem is people like me really.
For instance, I'll vote for Saara but there's zero chance of buying her music. There's lots of people out there that are interested in the singing but not necessarily the music that follows. Just by chance, she might bring out something completely out of the blue that's super interesting, but normally I'd never buy an X Factor alumni single.
The only tracks I've invested in have been Bleeding Love (because it's an absolute tune) and Heart Skips a Beat (but I never bought that, just enjoy hearing it). I just wouldn't buy a track by an artist just to support them. I'd only buy it if I loved the track. I just treat X Factor winners like every other artist and purchase their track if I find it appealing.
A good voice doesn't help if what you release isn't particularly innovative. But I still wish her and Matt the best and I do hope they find their audiences and get a career out of this. They both seem lovely people.
