Do I have to remind you that it is the public who will eventually be being the music that the winner makes so they're the ones who should be deciding who has the X Factor and who doesn't.

...not necessarily. To a lot of people this is just light-hearted Saturday/Sunday night entertainment, which is the main driving point of the show [and any TV show for that matter] before singing/performing/music even comes into it.

And also - if they will be the ones who are eventually buying the music the winner releases, how come Leon failed? And Joe [although I wouldn't call him a failure just yet, just failing...slightly]? Even Steve? What happened there then? Why did they chose them as winners if they weren't going to suppor them after the show?

Voters and buyers are two very different sets of people - there are crossovers but ultimately not all voters will be buyers, especially when you have to factor in people that download illegally, people that treat the show as light-entertainment, people that don't like the music the winner releases [or mainstream music for that matter], people that forget about the previous winners due to their albums being delayed until the October of the next year, etc etc. Trust me - they don't always know what they're doing.

Then what is it then?
