You guys are crazy. Youtube is irrelevant in this case, but since you mentioned it, I'll have to remember you about someting. The real queen of YouTube is J-Lo with the most watched video by any female artist.
Well you never know. X Factor will have her in the press every day/week for four months, and who knows what they can do to her social presence. I also wouldn't doubt she begins recording before/during the judging stint for a release in early 2013. Ah, being too optimistic. Another top ten will be fine for me.
True. I mean her just being announced as a X-Factor judge broke internet records for her being the most searched person on Google at any one time + most articles written in 30mins with 700. I'd rather be a bit pessimistic in her ranking for next year like I was this year to be completely surprised by the outcome.
