Darling Jahmene Wishes for American Idol

By Johnson Brierley


He's a darling to many, but, it seems that X-factor contestant Jahmene respects the honesty of American Idol far more than X-factor, and believes that he would suit the show much more because it is much more focused on singing ability than the UK.

Despite starting the audition process as a painfully shy 21 year old, Jahmene has flourished on our screens over the past weeks to the point where he is now confident in speaking out against the show that bought him to global attention.

And his mentor Gary Barlow completely concurs with his point of view, commenting that: "Im often jealous when i watch the US shows as our singers never seem to be as good as theirs - until Jahmene came along that is".

Well not Gary Barlow, that's for sure, who publicly spoke out in defence of Jahmene, remarking that the singers on American Idol are always so good compared to the ones on X-factor, before continuing to state that since Jahmene has come along he is no longer jealous of the American show's talent.

But as anyone worth their salt will tell you, you have to take advantages of opportunities in life when they present themselves - something which Jahmene has certainly done - and he now certainly seems to be at ease in the public eye, this week hanging out with Nicole Scherzinger at his local ASDA store.

In the last show Jahmene topped the digital spy best singer poll for the first time - following on from his second place finish last week - after taking over 31% of the votes for his cover version of Beyonce's 'Listen' from the hit movie 'Dreamgirls'.

And it seems that Jahmene will keep going from strength to strength for the forseeable future, with his stock and popularity rising all the time in the public's eye. And although we are all only too aware of how quickly reality stars fade away these days, one would certainly not bet against Jahmene shining brightly for some time after the series has ended.

But aside from whether or not anyone will remember his name this time next year, let's just hope that the show and the incredible exposure that he has received over these past weeks has done nothing to distort or corrupt his world view, and that he is still able to keep his feet planted on solid ground.
