I thought the Dec article was really eloquent and put into words what a lot of Will fans were thinking. It's blatantly obvious that BMG and 19 were expecting Gareth to win (tho' having seen the voting figures now I don't know how they could have been so sure) and had geared everything up for him to be the winner. They're treating the general public as non entities - our votes didn't count because they are going to push 'their' man and sod the 4.5 million who voted for Will - we're unimportant.
A case in point is today's 'Now' magazine. There is a double page spread on the PI concert - the biggest picture and 'blurb' (and it comes first) is Gareth. It is so unfair on poor Will.
Never mind, as others have said - Will be be around long after people have moved on from Gareth. The teenage market is indeed very fickle and, sadly, Gareth will be the flavour of the month for a relatively short period of time and then probably just become a pleasant memory. Will should, with the right backing, be around for years - he's got the talent and should be getting the encouragement from his management team and record company.
Are you listening BMG and 19 - we voted for him and we deserve to see and hear him.
GO WILL, GO WILL, GO WILL.
