Jeff Gutt has a good shot in the rock market. He doesn't really need this sill teen screamfest anyways. He is BETTER than this! With that being said. I'd love him to win it all but happy he got as far as he did.

i think with the right marketing, all three could have good success, but when has this show ever delivered on marketing?

kelly, simon, and paulina will go right back to their regular lives and probaly never speak to the contestants again

This is what I think too.

Alex and Sierra are actually marketable. A lot of alt-folk-ish music is popular right now (Mumford and Sons, Ellie Goulding, Phillip Phillips- not super popular but he has had songs on the radio and his style is pretty similar to A&S, The Lumineers, etc.). Plus they are something new and they do just kind of click together. I've been loving all of their performances in the past week or so.

Jeff isn't as marketable, but I do think he could do decent a la Daughtry. Jeff probably should get a band behind him, but he has a good rock voice.

I don't see Carlito doing anything great in the US but wouldn't be surprised if he's popular in some other random country.

again does not matter, because marketing wont be behind them

for as much money as he has, simon be hooking these people up with wack connections ad a small marketing budget

Not sure if it's that obvious people were saying that Carly and 5th Harmony were locks to win last season and Tate Stevens won out of nowhere.

I'm not going to speak on the success after the show just yet. That's always really tricky to predict. I think marketing plays a huge part and these contestants from this show never get with the right people.

You know, Alex and Sierra are my absolute favorites and will be signed no matter what. But….Jeff with that picture frame and him and Kelly….omg!

reply

Yeah I am so torn because I want both Alex and Sierra and Jeff to win. I actually prefer A&S, but agree that Kelly and Jeff are so cute that it's making it hard for me to know who I actually want to win.

reply

Jeff just did AMAZING!!! I just love that his supporters are at a bar... That is SOOO Jeff! No one under 21 there either!

That was an incredible performance. Not so obvious now, is it?

reply

um yes

reply

You guys got A&S and Jeff but I got my boy Carlito from the CHI who just fights and fights.

I think if Carlito was marketed as more of an international star instead of an American star he can be successful. He should get into the Latin market a lot of those Latin stars are huge in those Spanish countries.

reply

Yep, Alex & Sierra

I'm honestly not sure. I really think Jeff could win.
