I know I haven't posted in months but needed to talk about this with someone and I'm the only one out of my mates that still watches X Factor religiously!
I think it's interesting that OTY are being marketed down the cheesy pop route still. It's obviously working for them as they're still in, but, I think that in order for them to actually be seen as potential winners they need a change around in the way they are being marketed and need to prove to the public that they are serious artists and that they can actually make music.
Saw this video shared on DS - something like this would definitely change things for them.
The cheese thing has kept them in through the first half of the show, where I definitely think you need something different about you to stay in, but now that there's only 7 acts left I think it'd be wise for them to try something different and show what they are really capable of. I love them, but, after listening to them before they started the X Factor and following them a little bit online, they definitely didn't start off as they are being portrayed now and I really want to see them go back to that stripped back style that they started with and become 'cool' again. People might laugh but I could definitely see them win if they turn it around and surprise everyone [underdogs, first boy+girl group to do it etc - they'd definitely have a story behind them if they did go on to the final stages].
Just needed to get that out
Hope you're all well!
