This is a tv series which is produced by Simon Cowell who has some bussiness deal with BMG/SONY who in turn will offer some £ 1 million worth of record deal (fully recoupable of course).
It is rather self evident that this programme, although based on public voting, is set to influence and manipulate the audience.
Genius money spinning idea.
Nothing more nothing else.
The way they choose songs/clothes for the contestants is not accidental and can be crucial in a voting numbers.
It is like saying that Big Brother or other reality shows do portray pple as close to reality as possible.
Media manipulation for public entertainment.
Do we really care if those guys were coached before or not? Most of them don't have much talent anyway, they all look to me like karaoke pub singers, but mind you, most of the so called hits are sung by bland, lacking in personality and talent wierdos. ( am i getting old? hmm perhaps)
Leona is the only one now who has some potential as a singer, let's just hope that sony/bmg won't make her into some sing a long artist.
If she loses it will be better for her anyway, as then she can pick better deal for herself and be more in control of her destiny.
If she wins, she will have to slave away for at least a year and do as told, which considering what Cowel has done so far in the music industry this might screw her for a while.]
