I think she needs to realise it takes more than just having a good voice to be a popstar and the XF producers know that.

Actually it shouldn't take much more than a voice to be a popstar. Noone could accuse Sam of having no personality and not getting on with people. She has all she needs - the voice and personality.
The shallow stuff such as age, looks and youthful sexuality should be irrelevant. Unfortunately in the shallow world or bubble-gum pop where teens are the biggest consumer group - it isn't. Which is why hardly anyone past of age of 25-30 takes pop too seriously. Pop is for those going with the crowd, thankfully most usually develop their own tastes when they grow up a bit. There is a hugh market out there for those who want to raise their goals and have a long-term future in other areas of the music industry - Sam has a very good shot and x-factor has given her the platform she needed. I have a feeling she may well outlast x-factor, which, lets face it, has seen its day with all the manipulation of the contestants and voters.
Even worse is how it is blatantly used to act as a vehicle for fading pop stars such as Nicole, trying to establish herself again as a solo artist. She needs the show every bit as much as the contestants do. I almost feel sorry for her, especially after last night's performance - it was so desperate.
