You can be honest but wrong. Matt is outstanding. There isn't anyone seriously part of the music industry who doesn't know Matt is high quality and there isn't any question of him getting work.
Matt has it better than other past winners or contestants in that he is so skilled and talented he will not need to rely on X-Factor promotion or 'cash-in' on the X-Factor window of fame.
Matt can disappear for a year working with a lot of producers and artists and at the level most of us are not really familiar with (you can say the real working core behind it all) and build a genuinely long lasting career over the next few years.
If you cannot even see how Matt is outstanding then it really makes me wonder how you perceive and comprehend music in general?
It makes me question your ability to judge music and talent and yet you feel confident enough to start topics 'identifying talent' (or not).

and to be clear - I'm not necessarily that interested in Matts style, genre and type of music,
but,
what I am saying is that it should be fairly obvious to anyone interested in music that this guy is well on his way to working full-time, successfully at what is the 'higher level' in the industry. This doesn't mean he is Michael Jackson or David Bowie,
but,
you should have been able to spot 'outstanding talent' when you saw it.

For all I know the guy is a dick. I'm not a 'Matt Fan' like I take his side like a team.
I'm just explaining to you he is definitely 'outstanding' in this.
