Actually,I went and listened to Nicholas's CD this morning after reading this thread, didn't buy it but it was quite good,mainly covers,nothing startling but I have heard a lot worse from some so called rerally great acts too.

I think for me, X Factor has had its day now and I would guess as to your post, that Matt is afr happeier doing what he really feels and rates as quality as opposed to the suffocation element of being under the X Factor expectancy of what they call music and worthy of general release.

Exactly Joey,and agree with what you say about Matts version of'The first time' it still gives me goosebumps now(he better sing that tomorrow)and yes XFactor gave him a platform,but he had been in a group for a long time and I think that is why he felt the need to go it alone as he wanted to do his own stuff and jolly good it is too.
