"The neutrality of this article is disputed". Lol, I think that is the biggest understatement that I have seen on this website, and this article needs completely re-writing by somebody who isn't Steve Brookstein's biggest enemy!

[edit] Editing

This article is particular peculiar. Someone has gone to a great deal of trouble to change it. What is the point?

I've been meaning to clean up this page for months but never got around to it. It's not much better now. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 14:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please save the old version

Hahahaha! I love it. When someone does get around to making this a respectable encyclopaedic entry, pleeease save the old one to a web page somewhere, it's too funny to lose! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.128.145.173 (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Sources

The subject's own website appears to be the sole source of information for much of the article, and fails WP:RS. Some of it may be verifiable, but the other stuff should be expunged. I have tagged the article {{sources}} for the meantime and see if someone can come up with the goods. Ohconfucius 03:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Nearly 2 months on, and this article is getting better and better. Someone came along and added great stuff like "Despite it being very well received by local radio and media, the single failed to make the official UK top 100...." and "once again he was let down by poor management and promotion and therefore did not get the recognition his performances deserved". Combined with the lack of sources, I feel that it is definitely getting to the point where it violates WP:NPOV, and I have so tagged it. From all I can tell, the guy just had his 15 minutes of fame by happening to won the X-Factor, was a "one-hit wonder" and has been sinking without a trace since. I will be paring it back down to a stub on my next pass unless there are better sources available. Ohconfucius 02:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Steve I don't understand how that terrible paragraph was entered in your Wikipage. I can assure you that I never wrote it. I would not do anything like that as I absolutely hate vandalism. I will get in touch with the mods (if there are any) and see what happened.Gill P 17:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
