People saying "Cher fans couldn't be bothered to vote" are implying that her fans didn't bother but everyone else's fans did - that's silly; clearly she has a hardcore group of fans who vote for her but her fanbase is nowhere near as big as the other three's. Several people in the industry (the likes of will.i.am, Simon Cowell etc) view Cher as something marketable, so she'll have a shot at making a career out of this. Whether or not she'll be successful is another matter entirely, but she has a chance. She's got a nice enough voice and gives a passable attempt at rapping, but the intrigue comes from her being this dainty girl whose appearance defies her sound. I wasn't a Cher fan, but as Dezzy said, it's madness to just outright deny the fact she'll have some success after the X Factor. If Cher releases a catchy tune, it'll do well, people don't CARE about personality in pop music, it's all about image and sound. Most pop stars are arseholes, either through predisposition or because fame made them that way - it doesn't change the fact that people enjoy their music. If she does get a record deal with will.i.am she'll probably be successful, the man seems to know what appeals to the pop music industry right now, so if he sees Cher as a hot prospect then she probably is one. I still think she's a complete dick and I don't think she deserves to have all these people at her feet, but I do feel some people are being a bit extreme either way when it comes to Cher... Just accept what's in front of you, factually, and move on...
