Unless Matt Cardle can pull off some good tunes and keeps up his own hype, he will follow in the foot steps in to the Forgotten hall of shame of X-Factor winners, Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson and Shayne Ward and not far behind him it would seem is last years winner, Joe McElderry, his latest released song "Someone Wake me Up" limped in at 68 in this weeks UK charts, so not even reaching the top 40 is pretty bad IMO.

Shayne Ward has a career overseas according to the hype when he appeared on X Factor a few weeks back, it is just the people of his home nation who can tell he is rubbish, even his cover of Nickelback's "Gotta be somebody" was atrocious.
