People are too obsessed with his story

"Its his last shot to win, Alex&Sierra will be signed anyway"

"He has a son to support"

"He didn't make XF last year"

'He needs it more than A&S"

Etc...
They are so caught up in that, that they don't realize none of these things matter in the music industry. If you're not mainstream or have global appeal you might as well not have a successful career.

Anyone who wants Jeff to win basically wants him to get the $1 million contract, release a single that will chart on the bubbling under chart while the album debut with less than 20,000 copies in its first week (an embarrasment for an XF act again). After his debut album he'll fade and his label will drop him.


A&S has the XF. And the people who will vote/have voted for them are the ones who want to seee XF's first success story. People realize that they made a mistake to get consumed by people's life story (Melanie, Tate) that they didn't consider viability, longevity and global impact. A&S are slaying iTunes without being signed which is an indication of all 3 things I mention above.

I really hope, for the sake of talent and success that America chose Alex & Sierra.

Or maybe some people just want to hear good rock music?

I get we're on a pop forum but a lot of people actually still listen to rock music. And it's not "dated", it's just not the sound of current mainstream.
