Not TV fans only talking about Cassadee. Why are they not mentioning how Javier, jermaine Paul & Danielle didn't perform well with the GP ? I mean I'm all for comparing sales, but let it be fair.
Most of the acts of XF that found success are not the winners, yea we can go on and on about how big of a flop Epic records is, but no XFUS winner has been as successful as Cassadee (in the US)
But the fact that non XF winners are charting not just in the US, but worldwide as well says something about global appeal. For instance, Chris Rene, Emblem3 & 5H have had Top 20 hits outside of the US, but will Cassadee ever have that? And will TV ever produced a non winner that's more successful than the winner?
In a nutshell:
Cassadee: currently slays the US, but won't slay the rest of the world (because she's country), but I'm sure she's unbothered.
5H,E3 have more global appeal because they are Pop acts.
Also Danielle & Tate Steverns (latest winners) underperformed so let's not go there
Just accept that your fave Talent show has their successful candidates and Flops and move on.
I think it's The Language, though.
