One of the
things that I have notice is that people who have won the X factor are only
around for a while. After winning, they sell an album or maybe even two albums
before they disappear and then BAM! Two years later, they’re back but again,
not for long. Let’s take a look at some examples.
Leona Lewis: She won X Factor in 2006, her debut single of Kelly Clarkson’s, ‘A Moment like This’,was a super hit and was number in the UK Singles Chart for four weeks. However it was her single, ‘Bleeding Love’, from her first album Spirits in 2007, that had been a great deal of help in getting people to buy her album- not saying that her other songs weren’t great but that was the breaking point.In 2009, her new single ‘Happy’ attracted attention to her, and was number two on the UK Singles Chart. However during 2010, she did a bit of touring before she disappeared. In 2011, her single, ‘Collide’ which she collaborated with Avicii, was four on the UK Singles Chart however in the US is was crowd number 1 in Hot Dance Club Songs. Last year, in December, she brought out her new Christmas single, ‘One More Night’; she is finally stable after she had been signed on with another company.
Alexandra Burke: She won X Factor in 2008 which was the fifth series, for her ‘Hallelujah’ cover. After that, there was a number of songs she presented like, ‘Bad Boys’, and ‘Start Without You’ which came on to become big hits. In 2011, she went on tour however she has lost her spot in the limelight. There isn’t any news on her on websites like Capital FM.
It is clear that each X Factor finalist have moved on in life, however they are keeping hold of the fame they once had, and I don’t mean to say that they don’t have talent but to be honest, there is a lot of competition at the moment. However, there is one artist who has been consistent and that is Olly Murs but even then, he also had a bit of a gap. Not forgetting that Little Mix is doing well, however who’s to say that will last long.The fame that comes from X Factor only lasts for like a year before the artist becomes old news as the next X Factor show starts.
In conclusion, I wouldn’t be surprised if 1D splits up (however I do believe that they will get back together…eventually). To be quiet frank; it was going to happen anyway, as X Factor doesn’t seem to be able to hold onto artist/groups for much long before they move on. It is clear those artists that are still going on even after X Factor are making it because they are signed up to a different company and not Simon Cowell’s company, Syco. Not only that but each singer in One Direction has something going on, like Louise with his football dreams coming true, Harry with his list of girls to catch with his net, Zayn is planning a wedding(I think), Niall is looking for love and Liam is hanging out with his girlfriend.Hell! Even if they aren’t a group, they will always stay famous for their looks and are bound to be linked to other artist/ celebrity friends.
