Seriously, I want the answer.

1) Tulisa released a horrible single during her X Factor era, but her first single after the successful first year on the show went #1
2) Dannii - did she even release any music during that time?
3) Kelly got a top 10 hit which would probably not happen if she hadn't performed on the show
4) Nicole DID NOT release any music while she was a judge, only Boomerang which was released a few months after her first year on the show and we all agreed that it was a weak single so it didn't work out very well. (Don't go with Your Love's bad success because it was half a year after the show was over and it would've done way better if she'd promoted it last year)
5) Cheryl is from the UK, so it's OBVIOUS the UK people would prefer their own artists and judges (tho they loved Nicole on the show, and I still can't understand her choice of not releasing an album during her successful era as a judge).
It's really silly to say that the XF didn't help Cheryl's career a lot because it DID. It helped her build an ever bigger name as an artist and once they completely fell in love with her and her music, and once she got a strong fan base, she didn't need to be on the show to have successful music (Call my name, Crazy stupid love). So it DID help and she was smart enough to use that amazing platform for her own sake and I think she made the right choice by doing so.
