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.

His 'performances' have been just that 'performances' - based on jumping about the stage and appealling to gullible teenage girls. He and Louis know how to sell him to that particular fan base. They have nothing to do with talent and the ability to sing.

TV is full of tacky 'entertainment' shows giving attention seekers and wannabees the chance to sell themselves, but what many want to see is a genuine talent show where people with genuine talent have a chance to achieve their dreams and give the rest of us the chance to appreciate their talent - but unfortunately the ever increasing greed of the likes of Cowel and Walsh are denying us that.
