SophieB There was the 2010 X Factor season that produced One Direction! I looked to see who won that season -- Matt Cardle who still seems to have a career in music. Not as big as Harry Styles though!!  So much random luck as well as talent involved in making it big these days!

Related to Adam’s instagram content change and the discussion about what is presently being posted on his instagram— I keep getting a request by a FrokenO_Rastlos for a follow. When I clicked to see this person’s Instagram, it indicates she is “Director of communication @ adam lambert”. “She has zero posts, but 1251 followers. Is this account true or a just a hoax? 'I just wondered if anyone in fandom knows of this account? I have not posted in my own Instagram for years, but browse Instagram and I have no interest in agreeing to a request with someone I do not know. Probably should go through the Adam fansite to ask if they have knowledge of Adam’s team. Don't know about that account. I too have an account only so I can use Instagram and never follow back random requests! |

happy . How could I forget OneD!  Not sure I’ve seen anything of Matt Cardle since though…and he has a lovely voice. But Rylan and Fleur show that these contests can open up other opportunities. Makes me wonder what would have happened to Adam if he’d been voted out in, say, 12th position. Would his personality and appeal have given him another way to the top? I think it would have

I think it would have If Adam had come in 12th, it would have taken him longer to reach stardom but with his never give up attitude it still may have opened some doors for him. But it is probably harder in the US and you need to stay and make a mark as long as possible. But I thought it was funny when Idol had a gay contestant and they made his sexuality excessively part of his story week after week after week. He was a good singer but not the personality or charisma of Adam. And one of the producers (she was not there when Adam competed) bragged that as a gay contestant he would go further than Adam and win. HA. He came in 5th. What she failed to understand was that everyone knew Adam was gay but that is not what pushed him to second place. He just out performed everyone. In fact, being gay has never been a selling point for the conservative Idol voters and can cause you to lose some votes. Even Lyndsey Parker was wrong when she found out Adam was going to be a mentor for Queen week. She said Adam and that contestant could give their coming out stories and she was excited. They brought Adam back to mentor ALL of the contestants and help ALL of them do their best for Queen week cause he was a successful Idol alum and the Queen frontman and not because he was gay. Adam was not going to come on Idol as a mentor for the group to discuss how and when he came out, lol. In fact, when Adam was there, that was the only week the guy and Idol did not try to exploit the guys sexuality. It didn't even come up. The guy gave a good performance of WWTLF and he advanced. But once the contestant was voted off the show he was quickly forgotten. Imo, he may have done better post Idol if there had been more focus on his talent instead of all about his sexuality. |
