X Factor Winner Steve Brookstein: 3 Years Later……
As Leon Jackson scooped the winners title on Saturday nights X Factor TV show, former winner, Steve Brookstein was singing in a pizza restaurant filled with only fifty people.
Steve made references to the show which brought about his short lived fame during his performance saying:
“I’m surprised so many of you are here to see me on the night of the X Factor finals.”
He later joked: “I don’t know how many of you have got my new album. It’s not widely available – in fact, I couldn’t find it anywhere. I think Sharon Osbourne’s been going around Tesco taking it off the shelves.”
Leon should take note, this million pound record deal is not all it’s cracked up to be!

As I say it takes more than winning the show to make a long term career, you have to have talent or they will drop you after 1 single & album.

I think it is understandable why Steve feels this way. There is far to little understanding of the real music industry.The industry in which everyne who is talented just slogs away at it even with alternative income source as the main provider of the bread and butter. The industry is not all it is cracked up to and never has been.
In Britain we are being sold a false image of fame fortune and stardom, without the hard slog. No pain no gain.
In my view no self investment no gain.
