Let's be honest, X Factor voting doesn't make the distinction between who's the most popular on the show and who would be a successful pop star. Eoghan Quigg made it to the final over Diana Vickers, yet his attempt at a career failed miserably and he's nowhere to be seen; Diana's still going. Series 5 panned out in the right way; with the better acts finishing in the top half, therefore launching successful careers. Series 6 saw a lot of great acts being voted out (tactically, might I add) by the judges to the detriment of the show. Jedward are the success story of last year. That says a lot.
