@leeni31 - well that's the point, they are ALL just cover singers performing classic songs we all know & love, to make it in the industry takes originality & creativity, especially off the back of a reality competition like X-Factor, to gain respect that is, once the hype of the show blows over will Altiyan Childs have what it takes? Of course the die hard fan will say yes, I say give him a chance to create a new original album, then we can understand & appreciate exactly who he is :)

@destiny6666 ummmm all the contestants were doing covers on the x factor??? so if ur calling him a cover artist its a bit far fetch?? just saying not to be rude...

I just downloaded & listened to Altiyans album released today, I didn't realise it was a studio recording? should have been the live performances, sadly it lacks the passion & emotion of the live shows with the audience enthusiasm, participation & love for him, still sounds good, well done AC, however it's just a cover album, so why bother? I have U2, Bon Jovi, INXS, Kings of Leon, Train, etc etc, anyway, just thinking out loud, I look forward to an "original" album in 2011 :)

@omegaman369 - it would be great if he could carve out a career doing what he loves ... it's a tough industry & only the top tier survive ... once the hype & the emotion of the show has waned it will be interesting & exciting to see how it all pans out ... perhaps the planets have aligned for him perfectly this time? perhaps it was not meant to be? no one really knows ... I reckon in 12 months from now we should have a clearer outlook on "The Altiyan Childs Story" :)

@destiny6666 I agree with most of what you say. Definitely the station dramatised it a great deal. All you have to look at is how the judges were introduced, as if the show was a boxing match.

I disagree that Altiyan is 'not yet proven talent'. He has talent and he has proven it. The only part that is doubtful is how far it will take him; whether he will become a superstar. I don't know the answer to that, but I wish him all the best and I do hope he makes it internationally.

@pigsIop This is funny kooking back to 1 month ago - yes HE DID WIN. You have a wonderful way with words by the way. simple

[destiny6666]

@omegaman369 - I liked Altiyan from day 1, the underdog, if you look back at the early parts of this show, his performances, like it or not, were not good enough to get him through, the show was obviously thin on talent, so by getting this loopy out there character thru set the show up for some drama. "Awol Caveman", "Unwell father" got media coverage, in the end, all I have seen is a great cover singer, performing songs we all know and love, that is my point he is not yet a proven talent :)

@destiny6666 Sorry to offend your sensibilities if my typing skills are not up to your speed. 

I suppose you know him much better?

We are debating his talents and how to measure his success, not whether or not he and his father are impoverished. Comments on how to spend the proceeds from sales of the single - buying a good dinner and a new bed for his father - come from Altiyan.
