I am led to believe he is supporting the \"famous\" Eileen Hunter Quartet at that \"mega\" venue the 606 club in Chelsea. It only holds a hanful of people

Also going back to what he did in the beginning by doing a Northern Soul gig with the Four Vandals See here http://www.northernsoul.co.uk/ns/book_store/


This is why people should not vote for X Factor acts, someone who was a so called star a couple of years ago is now right back down where he started.
Will Shayne Ward and others follow? Is it right of us to build them up to see it all come to this?

I didn't build him up so have nothing to feel bad about.

The people i voted for have all paid off so far:

G4 - Ok, they are splitting up but have had 3 really sucessful albums and tours.

Brenda - In Chicago for ages and i've heard may be releasing an album.

MacDonalds - They have an album but not sure where they will go next.

Leona - I have a good feeling about her

They already have a contract for another album and (it is rumoured) may have some of their own material on it!

Steve only had himself to blame-he did not want to do cover versions and quit!!

I don't think these shows are any good and only a few acts have done well from them. Girls Aloud and Will Young are the main ones...

Cant see anything wrong with a man supporting his wife.The 606 club is a famouse jazz venue.As for what he did in the beginning he made a few vid's for a friend nothing more.And the man who set's up the northernsoul gig's see the vid and thought it would be a good idea to put the four vandal's together for the first and last time it takes place one time a year it last's four day's.

He was an average singer. He was nowhere near as good as Leona or Shayne. He only won because on the night of the final, Sharon slagged him off calling him fake. People felt sorry for him and voted.

That is not true as he was never in the bottom two and was way ahead every week hence Sharon\'s outburst.

But his demise has been so quick it is embarrassing. Irrespective if Eileen Hunter is his wife or not shouldn\'t she be the supporting act to him and not vice-versa

Is it surprising, considering it's only a small venue? Put this part of the club in any normal size arena and you'd probably be able to fit stage sets for the entire finalists ever in the history of Xfactor.

I have listened to Steve's voice, and yes it's an average voice. There's nothing anyone can do about it, it just is.

It's speculated that Steve won the Xfactor unfairly. There were constant digs between Sharon Osbourne and him, and this resulted in him winning, especially when Sharon insulted him, apparently the votes increased by over 200,000 enough for him to win. It wasn't long after he'd won that after a few months of not hearing from Simon Cowell, (after Steve refused to do covers), that was when Steve started getting verbally abusive towards Sharon and the Xfactor show itself. People began to troll his site, he was really nasty towards them too. Not wishing to go into too much detail. However, good people tried to warn him against posting abuse, but it didn't stop him. So much so, he's where he is today. That's my side of the story and I'm sticking to it.

Sharon slagging him off wasnt the only reason for this happening. If you remember he was odds on fave to win since about live show 2 or 3. It would have happened anyway IMO.

I`m a bit puzzled - I thought you liked Steve`s voice? You started a thread with a link to some vocals by him IIRC? I know you don`t like him as a person, but I always thought you liked his voice?

Anyhoo, to be fair, I think he would have won X-Factor even without Sharon`s totally unfair intervention.

Steve seems to have made a decent living as a singer prior to X-Factor, and I`m sure he`ll continue to make a living now. His voice and style is more suited to smaller venues IMHO.

Don`t like the guy, but I wouldn`t wish failure or bad luck on anyone. Good luck to him.

I think Steve's voice is average, fact. I thought Steve was a nice person once upon a time, that and an average voice went down well in my book.

If someone as opinionated and blatantly rude as Steve has been to me personally, the nice bloke has been stripped leaving only an average voice. How many average voice singers are there in this world? Far too many. It would take a lovely personality with an average voice for me to oversee everything and enjoy any song from that person (Artist).

Sorry to cause you confusion.

Hope that helps.
