Sam is a perfectly respectable married mum of two kids. When she wins - safe assumption imo - how will she be marketed in media and get publicity as unlike other popstar singing mums Pink , Xtina Lily Allen etc she was never in spotlight single or childless having wild antics.

In a world of Miley, Rihanna and whipprtsnappers like Lorde, how will Sam b get column inches as having a good voices isn't enough.

[newsbb]

with an old colvers album of curse, which will prob sell tons, but thats it.

[Natalie.]

I hope her album covers her behind bars with a mic lol

[Samm]

I hope so

[Vanessa]

Sorry, but i don't want to buy a cover album. I want original songs.

[thesheriff443]

she will sell a couple of albums to old people.

[Cherie]

they managed it with Susan Boyle and Paul Potts neither of whom had any sex appeal.

I saw some headline on one of the Sunday papers about how she has put the Xfactor back into her love life, personally I think that sort of publicity would be all wrong for her and if she goes down that route she will sink like a stone.

[Kate!]

If she wins she'll flop IMO. Yeah she's got a great voice but not the elusive X factor. Only Tamera and Rough Copy from the remaining acts have it. Any of the others will sink without trace.

I think Luke has a chance. He already has a profile in Heat mag. Nice work!

[Brother Leon]

Syco will sign Tamera and focus more on her. Some other label will sign RC and they will do ok. Apart from that none of these people will be around by next series IMO.

It's up to them really. Some of them have potential, but they'll need to work hard.

[alex_front2]

I think biggest acts will be Tamera and RC. Sam B will have limited success as winner. Nick will briefly do ok with covers and luke will be like rebecca ferguson or cher.

[Black Dagger]

Cover album and then history.

There is a big difference with thinking somebody is an incredible talent on the show and buying their music. Look at Michelle McManus.

Heat mag already love Luke.

[Jemal]

Tamera and RC will defo get signed thats why I'm not really fussed if they don't win.
Union J came fourth last year, but look at them now. Arguagbly been more successful than James Arthur. But you wouldn't think that if you only look at chart stats tho.
But they've done really good. So yeah.

I can only see tamera and RC getting signed.

[Tom4784]

A quick Mother's day covers album and possibly a Christmas album before she gets dropped.

Luke doesn't have a hope in hell. He's ruined any marketability he had by auditioning for the XF, he doesn't have the credibility to be taken seriously in the indie and rock scenes and he doesn't have the presence to be a Top 40 botherer. He's just another flop faux rocker waiting to happen.

Like i said, it's all up to him.

[Tom4784]

It's not though, he's ruined any chance of a career by doing X Factor. That's the long and short of it.

I used to like luke, but now hes performance just keep on declining bit by bit.
He was a darkhorse early on but now he should be the one who is out next.

And i agree with that paragraph.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

[Mystic Mock]

She'll be marketed as a Susan Boyle/Shirley Bassey, but the difference is that Sam Bailey doesn't have an exceptional voice or a particular style in the way she performs so she will more than likely flop.

The only one that will flop harder than Sam Bailey in the charts is Nicholas.

[Jordan.]

promoting her cover album on the loose women panel

[Mystic Mock]

And imo the only way Luke will have a serious career is if he makes the final now as TXF ruins the alternative acts name when they audition for The X Factor.

It's all a matter of opinion. I used to like Rough Copy before, but their singing is really poor now. Even though they're nice guys.
