He is nothing like past male winners,there is something different about Matt,i can't quite put my finger on it (unfortunately,lol) ,he has a passion and emotion ,he doesn't just stand there and smile,he is musical,and has a raw talent about him,he is more than just a pretty face,

he wont be the only one this year as rebecca is to old fashioned,although america will love her style of singing.

one direction will bomb the worse out of the final 4 this year,there like old take that and boyzone mashed in with justin bieber,and you know how in the old style boybands and justin bieber are?

:nono: Rebecca can do soul, jazz, pop, RnB, heavy rock....ok maybe not the last one. But she also has a voice thats very well suited to dance/club music. She's very versatile and has many options open in terms of what kind of album she could make.

Go listen to the club remix of her old vocal track in the music forum. Nothing old fashioned about that.

Hope he doesn't.

It's rare I vote on reality TV shows but, tonight, I picked up my phone and voted three times. That's how much of a fan of Matt I became.

It's because they've all been generic, a jack of all trades but a master of none. With Leona & Alex (moreso Alex really) they become known for signature sounds and such. None of the male winners really have that outside of doing anything decently. Matt doesn't buck this trend at the moment.

I don't think she will, If she wants to be album based then she could do the retro style soul but she's also shown an aptitude to dance music so there's potential for a singles based artist too.

I reckon about the 20 years mark? (Sorry James if that' way out, only a wee guess).

I think Matt will do okay. I don't think he'll have anything like the success of Leona, but I think he'll tick along quite nicely. I have only ever voted in the XFactor shows for Will, and then bought when he recorded. The only other one I have voted for was Matt this year.

Seeing the voting figures for him week after week makes me think he already has a market out there who would buy his music.

I don't think any reality show contestant will last forever. You're only as good as your last record.

Will, Leona, Shayne, Alexandra, Joe ... all their last singles failed to get into the top ten.

Rebecca's style of music is timeless. Jazz and lounge/cool has lasted longer than any form of music, bar Classical. Michael Buble does very well.

I agree that as soon as Justine Beiber changes his haircut One Direction will look dated overnight.

100% he won't. The man is amazing, get used to hearing this dude because he ain't going anywhere.

All fans have this view when their fave is fresh from winning lol We'll see

Nope, like I said before and I also heard Kerry and kazanne say the same thing, I have never voted in that show before last night but I did for matt, I have never bought any music from an X Factor contestant but I will be buying matts, because there's something special about him.

Matt's reached his peak.. his falsetto is his only selling point and got boring after week two IMO

I agree with this, Rebecca is much more versatile

You'd buy it even if you didn't like the sound of it?

Of course I wouldn't, why would I buy something I didn't like?:conf:

I said in earlier post today, i think Matt will do well out of this, i think he will be more successful than most previous winners, with exception of Leona.

You said 'I have never bought any music from an X Factor contestant but I will be buying matts'...yet you haven't heard any of his music yet?

I was talking about his winners single, it also has 3 songs from the live shows on it

Oh sorry, I forgot about the winners single, I thought you were on about his album. My mistake :p

lmao no I hope it will be good but I wont be buying that until I've heard some of the songs on it first!:joker:

i brought same differences album and listened to it in bed dreaming of sean kissing me . I did that for about a month or two, it was quite pleasant.

dunno about matt, but i tell you what when he sings the right song and he sings it well oh my god there was one night i remember when all 4 judges stood up ...bloody amazing

You can't see in the future though.

You don't know what will happen. You need to give him a chance... don't paint him with the male winner brush because he could do very well.

To you maybe, but don't think other people see it.

I think it might have been this one.
