So, the latest series of the UK's biggest TV show will reach its climax this evening, with either Matt, Rebecca or One Direction walking away with the mega bucks deal and all the trappings. But is that really such a good thing? I am a huge supporter of Matt - and his band Seven Summers - he is seriously talented and has filled a gap in the music industry. But, controversially, I don't want him to win the show. In the past few series, the finalists have proved that you don't need to win - and that all you need is the right songs, hard work and a bit of determination. JLS and Olly Murs have undoubtedly been more successful than their victors. Furthermore, Matt doesn't conform to Simon Cowell's stereotypical 'mainstream pop act' image, instead treading his own path and bringing his own creativity and style to the table. I hope One Direction win - not because I am a huge fan, but becuase they reflect Cowell's vision. I predict that they WILL win, due to the amount of screaming female fans who look no further than their good looks. The X Factor provides all contestants with an amazing platform, having been watched and admired by millions of television viewers. It's what they do once the show has ended, and the hype dies down, that will determine how successful they become. I would advise them to continue to grow their fanbase - be it Twitter, Facebook etc - and they must FEED their fans (releasing new material, doing gigs etc) or their following will rapidly decline as fans become bored of waiting (Laura White - who I love, by the way. Yes, I want to be a music manager! haha
All four finalists are great in their own right, and I can see, for once, that they will all be successful as they can each contribute something new to the industry.
So, everyone, vote for One Direction: 0901 61 61 103 but give Matt all your love and support once the show has ended! :)
