Eoghan Quigg is to become the first of last year’s X Factor contestants to release a single and his debut is titled 28,000 friends.

RCA are obviously hoping that Eoghan can tap into the online generation and the songs revolves around the whole MySpace/Facebook phenomenon. The opening verse goes :

You and your 28,000 friends
[Im talking about]
Youtube, Facebook, Myspace, IM
[Get out of the house]
Can’t you try to find some room for me in your life?

It moves into deeper and more meaningful territory when Eoghan asks:

How does it feel to be alone?
So many friends that you dont know

Very thought provoking eh?

In my humble opinion, and I know that many of you are going to send me hate filled messages after reading this, but I think this song is a big pile of s***e! Young Eoghan had great charisma on X Factor and a passable voice. However this song makes nothing of that and is a blatant cash in with no real substance or even melody. With material like this, Eoghan has no hope of any sort of extended career after the X Factor.
