All in the title

Will he flop within a year of releasing his first actual single (forgetting the winners one)?

Will he go on to achieve fair success, few top 10s, lasting a couple of years etc?

Will he go to America and become an international superstar?

This is purely on recording, not any other career paths (e.g. theatre, ending up on Dancing on Ice etc)

All the final 4 will flop, who ever wins.

[teabag.]

flop, mainly because what kind of song will he bring out? his voice doesnt anything bar musical theatre

[Captain.Remy]

He will end up like Leon...nowhere.

[Stacey.]

he WILL have some success.
Simon and Cheryl will make sure of it /.

[Beastie]

I think he will have a bit of success! I love his voice, it probs is a bit musical theatre but it is one of the best voices in this year's x factor! He is better than Shayne Ward and Shayne's 3rd albulm is out next year.. to be honest I prefer him to Leona and Alexandra! I do think Joe needs to win the x factor though, without the winning title of the x factor, he will probably flop! Eventhough I dont mind if Olly or Stacey wins. I think maybe Joe should win and Olly and Stacey should make some babies? lol

[Beastie]

I prefer Joe to Leona and Alexandra because Joe is more unique. I have never heard anyone with a voice like Joe's before! Good luck to him!

[Stacey.]

but..., danyl ftw

[Smithy]

he'l be like leon and steve

[Alf]

the music world is not only catered for 6 to 16 year olds, believe it or not but there's an huge audience that appreciate a talanted singer.

for 18 years old i think he's pretty good and goes about his business in a professional manner, and because he's prepered to listen and learn instead of acting the big i am, he's improving with every performance.

This!

Yes he has a lovely personality! Joe is very refreshing. He is no average Joe ya know!

[Novo]

Flop straight away

[Princess]

He'll be successful but he won't be like Leona,but that's pretty much impossible. He probably will end up in the West End,but that ain't a bad thing!

That doesn't mean he'll be successful though. Leon fits the description the same way Joe does.

Stacey will have the most success hopefully,
she has the personality, people will die for her to be on their interview show.
Yeah she might not be a Leona or Alex, but why compare her to them?
There are other artists out there, Simon needs to be told this.

I can see Stace and Danyl having success, and after a while,
think Miss Frank might have a break through too.

Olly will flop if he won, and Joe probs should go into musicals.

[King Gizzard]

Olly has the best chance out of all of them

Releasing something in the mixture of Will young and Robbie Williams

[Smithy]

Stacey would deffo have the most success due to her personality and amazing voice


olly would flop due to the fact his performances are all visual, if you buy a single or album there aint gonna be any of the gimmicks/dodgey dancing just his voice (which aint that great)

[Jords]

But, its almost cert Joe will win, his youtube views are sky high this week compared to the rest. Surprised really, his Take That preformance was not really awesome awesome, but still, hugely viewed, even compared to Stacey who gave the best TT preformance!
His George Michael preformance I can see why though.

Joe works harder than Leon! Leon did not even care. Apparently he did not perform at a gig because he had a "cold". Leon was lazy and put little effort into his performances. Leon always had a face like a slapped arse. Joe is a hard working friendly happy geordie!

Exactly what I had planned on saying here!

samanda
rhydian
etc

I don't agree. Leon basically floated throughout the entire series - was never praised by the judges and was just average each week. Joe has proven himself to be hugely talented and on some occasions has given some of the best performances of the series/night. Leon one night discovered a swing sound, something which isn't really relevant whilst Joe has taken on a variety of songs and proven he can do anything. Without actually hearing material by Joe I don't think you can call him a 'Leon mould.'

I was thinking lately Joe could have some excellent material if people like Gary Barlow were to get behind him. If Take That were on the XF you wouldn't really believe they were relevant enough to launch a pop career but they're one of the most successful British acts out there right now. I think they've proven that you don't need to be RnB or what ever to score hit singles. If you're talented enough people recognise that.

but we've already got robbie williams and will young, why do we need another
joe mcelderry is a mixture of joe mcelderry, he's no tribute act

[Shaun]

He'll have a decent album - better than Shayne/Leon anyway - and probably fizzle...I can't see a second album Echo style.
