Wagner is just one guy, if he made the top 5 at the expense of, say Matt, then clearly Matt didn't have the popularity to sustain a career, and any attempt he made at a solo career would reflect that. I see Wagner as the benchmark for success basically, if you go out before Wagner then you aren't going to make it in the music business.

Yeah I guess so.

Then again, if this campaign to get him to win is successful, then that means noone else will make it in the music business

I didnt realise chico had done anything in the charts either...god I loved him
