I really dont think Simon gives a **** about him, same can be said with Steve, and Leon as well (but he failed).
Shayne was doing very well but it seems like he is trying to do everything by himself. He does really good songs and his material has been very good and brilliant songs have not been released.

Why does Simon prefer the female winners? It seems like he doesnt want to know anything from the male singers.

Tbh, say what you want but Shayne is the 2nd most successful XF winner behind Leona. He's got 2 platnuim albums, and 2 5x platinum Irish albums, and about 3x platiuim albums sold in Asia.
Also out of 7 of his songs released, 6 of them went Top 10. Also, when he releases a song, the music channels always pick up on it, as people actually like his music, and the few times where he is releasing, loads of people request his songs. Also Joe is going to the US yes?? Shayne Ward would do so well over in the US compared to most winners besides LEONA.

Also out of ALL of the XF winners singles, his one has beat all of the others in sales and downloads. He sold 1.3m of the song. I dont think any of the otehrs have surpased 1m.

His second album was ranked number two on Channel 4 list of the 100 Best Albums of 2007 and was one of the bestest selling album of 2007./

Maybe im not allowed to say thos, but my friends brother who workds for Syco is friends with Shayne and has said that people over there feel like Shayne is at the bottom of all of their lists.... a bit harsh.
His new album will be released in March Im sure.... looks like he will have to do all the promoting alone.
