Love him or loathe him (although i dont know how anyone could loathe him) he has a point. Jahmene believes that the US talent show American Idol would be a much better fit for him than X-factor, because it is concerned with vocal ability and not looks and popularity.

The 21 year old singer commented that: "The show isn't really about singing at all, as you can see from the quality of acts that get past the audition process". The boy has surely come a long way since his shy introduction to the world of reality tv.

Gary Barlow shares Jahmene's view, stating that: "I often watch the American shows and I'm often quite jealous. The singers are so great on there I always feel a little bit jealous because our singers are never quite as gooduntil you came along."

But Jahmene is the first to admit that had it not been for the show's procedures inviting him to attend one of the audition's after hearing one of songs on Youtube and believing that he would be a good fit for the show, then he would probably have never had the courage to audition.

But you have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes - a fact which Jahmene fully acknowledges - in his admittance that had he not been invited to audition by producers for the show - who heard him by chance on Youtube - then he would have never had the courage to put himself forward.

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'.

They say that today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper, and nowhere is this more true than in the world of reality TV, where almost none of the contestants survive in the public mind for more than a few days after the show has ended. But there are the occasional few who live on in the memory, and only a brave person would bet against Jahmene joining that elusive club.

But whether he continues to be a household name after the cameras have stopped rolling, only time will tell. But let's just hope that whatever happens, he will keep the sense of humility and grounding that caused the public to take him to their hearts in the first place. Surely anything after that is a bonus.
