Being signed to a record label does not mean that you will be commercially successful !

Remember these household names

Steve Brookstein (signed by Sony BMG)?
Shayne Ward ( signed by RCA Label Group then signed by guess who ? SONY BMG)

No ???? They were both previous X factor winners (similar to American Idol)

They had practically no commercial success despite winning the competition in their respective years. They could not even achieve "one Hit Wonder" status.....

How about Michelle McManus ? she was a Pop Idol winner . She was accliamed because she weighed about 300lbs but could sing like a bird.....however was a complete flop commercially. The record company couldnt even give her CD's away. Guess who she was signed by .....yep Sony BMG....

I am not trying to rain on Ms Boyles parade. I wish her luck . But her talent is average when looking at singers in this field . What she has is one trick. And it will wear thin very quickly once the hysteria has died away. I am not trying to offend anyone. Just calling it as i see it.
