Arguably the winners so far have ended up aimed at the same demographic anyway - no solo Pop Idol/Fame Academy winner has gone down a remotely uptempo route. Will Young is currently singing jazz-flavoured mid-tempo pop, Alex Parks is retreading Annie Lennox's solo career, I can't see Michelle McManus doing anything which requires her to dance. Mid-tempo is where it is apparently at.

Will Young does that hand thing, thats sort of rhythmic isnt it?

but does this mean the next lot will sell better on album than single?

It'll all go to Radio 2.
