No offence, but based on my own hearing, the opinion of those in the music business and general public opinion, I think you might just require hearing aids.

His voice is weak and nowhere near good enough to be in the final ten. We lost a fantastic singer like Paul for the little blond pretty boy. It is supposed to be a singing competition - of which the main judge agrees - not a modelling competion - something else he would not win btw.

He is very average in looks and at singing. Why we are seeing him plastered over our screen on a Saturday evening is a mystery? The whole falseness and money-making scheming of the show is beyond boring now.

Rather an uncalled for and unnecessary comment but you feel the need to make it.

I love all types of music from classical right through to punk rock even. I like what I like and if someone's voice can reach me then I will applaud then for that.
It has nothing to do with deafness or needing hearing aids, it is personal choice.

I pointed out that you were wrong to say he had just jumped around in each performance,I made no reference to any music you may like.

Clearly despite your put down as to him, the judges who are the professionals you point out above too, put him to boot camp and to judges houses and then to the finals, where so far, the voting public have not only put him into the top 10 but actually voted him as one of the last 8, never also being voted into the bottom 2.

You may get your wish and he could be in the bottom 2 tonight and go tonight too but it actually seems you are more at odds with what the professionals and voters as to the X factor think of Sam Callahan as he has already greatly exceeded what you think he should have got to.

Many singers, past and present cannot really sing that well and still achieve substantial success.
As one of the last 8, and also now part of the X Factor tour too, no matter what happens tonight as to Sam Callahan, I believe no way have we heard the last of him in show business.

I don't think he is in any way as bad as some make him out to be.

All I have seen,(and the things I likely most about him), is his attitude to the show,admitting he is not the best singer there, also the way he accepts and takes the criticism,much of it grossly unfair from Gary particularly.
The man who put Frankie Cocoza into the 'live' finals and said it wasn't just about a voice.

In my view, Sam Callahan puts good effort into his performances and clearly works hard, you don't always have to be a really good singer in order to achieve success, the charts are full of people who sound good on record but are not in any way really good singers.

Sam Callahan is not going to win the X Factor,he is however one of the last 8 acts still remaining and his performances have been and are better than some of the others still there too.
I have a feeling he can get success and his voice is for sure in my opinion nowhere near as bad as is being made out.
I like him,I'd go and see him and would also likely buy his CD's too, I actually really liked his performance of 'All I want Is You', the 'U2' song he did.

all of this.
