Alex + Sierra will be the first winners to hit mainstream


Wait and see. By this time next year they will be well known.

Yea, they could release a whole album full of covers, a christmas album, I think everything they sing will be gold. They don't even have to have originals.

X Factor US Winners Curse!

Larry, they will, they are positive and their love for each other glows and give people a feel good feeling when they listen to them sing.
I always smile at all their performances!

why are you guys so rude for goodness sakes be happy for these guys

b/c it was funny. I'll be surprised if they have a top 50 song by this time next year. but to each their own.

reply

I like them, but I don't see them being mainstream. I see them as performing in small intimate venues...

skywalker2008 and condemned02 are obviously either two idiotic and naive teenagers or two gullible and naive teenagers. Either way everything that's come out of condemned02's mouth is retarded. I'm surprised the OP hasn't said anything else as dumb as this post is.

NOBODY that has ever won The X-Factor in any country has made it big.

It's not an X-Factor US curse. It's just an X-Factor curse period.

Leona Lewis?

and One Direction...

One Direction never won though.

As for Leona Lewis, it depends on what everyone's standard for "making it big" is. I personally say she is successful, maybe more in the UK than in the US, but still. However, she won and has not reached, let's say, Kelly Clarkson's success and fame.

Little Mix and Alexandra Burke have done quite well in the UK. I know that they haven't quite conquered the global market but still reaching number 1 in the UK is no easy feat.

But none of the past winners were super marketable. This time it is different.
You know, before Little Mix won UK X-factor, no group has ever won X-factor either. Just because it never happened yet, does not mean it cannot happen.

lol I don't know what to say too you.

reply

I can only hope so. All this time, they've been giving me a Lady Antebellum vibe, and we all know how mainstream and successful that group is.

reply

I hope you're right. They might not be the right kind of act to become really famous, but I'll be happy if they have some moderate success, and we get to see more of them.

I just discovered them on youtube, and I've watched Toxic, Gravity, and Say Something a couple of times each and I just feel like playing them again.

EDITED TO ADD:

I couldn't figure out what I wanted to say above, but I figured it out: I find them completely mesmerizing.

Scarlett Johansson is Miss Peel, Clark Gregg is John Steed, but who the heck are the others?!

reply

Mesmerizing? Are you serious?

I'm unfortunately not rooting for their career. Not that there was anyone this season that I was behind anyway. I personally thought this season sucked compared to the previous two, but I just don't see anything special about Alex & Sierra.

There are tons of artists with their sound and there are tons of artists just like them (male and female singing duo). Just because they had some covers you liked doesn't mean they'll make some great songs. As a matter of fact, I thought all their covers were the same generic acoustic versions of any pop song you can find all over YouTube.

I never saw anything special about them the entire time they were on the show so I don't see why a lot of you here think they're gonna be huge other than the fact, like the rest of the people who voted for them, you were caught up in the hype of this couple you wanted to root for because you all "believe in their love". And you could use their little iTunes success as an excuse but take into account that that was the first time X-Factor released any singles of any the acts' covers on iTunes. So as to say, if they did that for the previous season then Tate probably would've had a couple top iTunes singles of his covers too. I don't buy it and I'm not interested in it. We'll just have to wait and see.
