What Will This Year Bring Us?
Since 2004 X Factor has given us great entertainment, with many talented people, some of the winners from the show have gone to be a great success, others, well, not too well. Let’s go back in time shall we?...2004- The first X Factor series, the winner that year was 36year old Steve Brookstein, who after 8months with his record label, was dropped in 2005. I think Steve had a soulful deep voice, but maybe he was better off singing karaoke.
2005- The aspiring winner this year was Shayne Ward, who released 3album’s, but, five years after he won the show, the record label ended his contract last November. Personally I loved Shayne’s voice, and think once he’d left the show he had time to develop his voice.
2006- This was the year of the stunning Leona Lewis. Since then she has released 2albums and a book! Also a perfume that hasn’t been released in the UK. I absolutely adore Leona’s voice, all her music is beautiful and sweet, and I can’t wait till she releases more!
2007- Leon Jackson, everyone had high hopes for him, but sadly again after only one album Simon’s record label named ‘Syco’ dropped him, it may have been because the runner up that year, Rhydian Roberts sold 370,000 more album’s than him.
2008- This must’ve been the hardest year for the public to decide on a winner, but Alexandra Burke pulled through, she released her debut album and has also launched her own jewellery range. I think she has been a huge success and honestly deserved it.
2009- Sweet, innocent, Joe McEldery won 2009’s series. After releasing one single and coming out that he was gay the record label dropped him. I definitely preferred Joe’s voice on the show than to when he released his own music.
2010- Essex boy Matt Cardle grabbed the winner’s title last year and hasn’t done much since he won the show, but I’m sure we’ll be seeing some music from him soon. I really thought Matt’s voice was tender and strong he seems a lovely genuine person too.
These names are just proof that the X Factor isn’t the ‘Be All & End All’ and look at l the runners up who have had their break at fame, JLS, Cher Lloyd, Olly Murs , etc etc. I’m really looking orward to this year’s series, with a panel of new judges it’ll be exciting to see that they have to say about the show.
Even though the auditions have just started were all wondering, what will this year bring us? A star whose voice will last forever? Or a one hit wonder? I can’t wait to see!
Shriya, did you actually write this yourself? If so you are really, really great!
