I can't see the point in these shows when the contestants are hung out to dry after the tv programme is all over and the fat cats have filled up their coffers once again.
I'm interested in seeing the development of new talent as much as the next person, but it just ain't happening in the real world. The record company should have been encouraging Steve to bring out his own material, not insisting he do an album of covers. They give these people a record deal to capitalise as much as possible on the TV show, then six months down the line it's goodbye sucker! Next !
