Default X Factor finalists 'terrified of flopping'

Taken from this article on Joe being scared of fame:
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/gameon/vi...cared-of-fame/

Quote:
And according to our X Factor insider, Joe is not the only finalist scared of winning.



Stacey Solomon, Olly Murs and Danyl Johnson are all terrified they will flop if they win – compared to 2006 champ Leona Lewis.



They are convinced they cannot come close to Leona’s worldwide success and feel Simon Cowell is weary of them before the semi-finals have even started.



Our source revealed: “For Simon every contestant is compared to Leona. He is still in awe of her and feels that no one else can come close.



“The thing is, they are not meant to be compared to anyone but Leona’s legacy is living on strongly and is hanging over the house like an impossible standard they can’t live up to.



“The pressure on the finalists to live up to that is really beginning to weigh them down. They are aware people are saying there’s no stand-out star and everyone is starting to believe that.”



Last night Joe belted out Jacko’s She’s Out Of My Life as well as Open Arms by Journey.



Meanwhile, bookies say Simon’s decision to choose a Miley Cyrus song for the winner has sparked a massive gamble on Joe to win.
Do you think its fair they should be compared to Leona? I think even Louis said today in the NOTW he doesn't feel any have the calibre to rule America.

I think Simon should stop mentioning Leona/other previous contestants after somebody's sung a song that has been done before. They always pick the same songs for similar artists every year, it's unfair to compare them because it's propaganda that reminds regular viewers of the previous years etc. Leona was three years ago, it's not fair to put the contestants down like that.
