She's marketable because she's already got an image and a style and she's made a good impression on the people who are gonna help her along the way and people who could feature on her songs and vice versa. She's one of the most written about acts this year and that's because she's interesting, media intrigue means more then votes since only one act is going to win the competition but they're not gonna be the only success. The only thing standing against her is public perception but it's easy to court controversy and change opinions look at most popstars today. The public opinion changes with whichever way the wind blows.
Voting matters only to the winner.

Demographics have not a lot to do with it Prezzie, you need to brush up on your marketing background work. I believe one person was quoted as saying there was a niche for her..... one person. If demographics came into it, her marketing 'niche' would have voted for her - and they didn't - why? Because she did not appeal to the demographic base to which she was targeted on a large enough scale as far as majority demographics go.
Her songs... oh, that's interesting. What songs have you heard her sing that she has written? I wait with baited interest. Oh wait... they'll all be rapping songs, absolutely no different from everything else that she sings, copying others in a style that's been around for around 40 years.
It is precisely public perception that will make or her break her, and as far as X Factor has gone, she lost. That's the bottom line - she didn't win. She might (along with all others who won't all win) get a recording contract, but mega stars a recording contract does not make.

Please try to abstain from insulting a forum member for no other reason than that they simply disagree with you and provide their reasons why.
My perception appears to be a little more finely tuned in that I have seen 'girls' like this come and go - most going very quickly down the tubes - and a lot more so that you will have, seeing as I have an age advantage over you.
As for votes only counting for the winner - funny, that's not what all the Cher fans have been saying on here week after week, when trying to muster up people to vote for her. So are you basically saying then, that every Cher fan on here who has acknowledged and made it clear that they have voted for her over the months have been fools in wasting their time and efforts in supporting Cher - because according to your words - they didn't need to vote?
It is abundantly clear that you are really annoyed that she didn't make it through to the final three, and are doing all you can to try to excuse that fact. She is not as popular as some people would like her to be. That's the heart of the matter.
