    Some people who aren't good enough just disappear off the 'scene' - but he did record the soundtrack for the new Narnia movie. So many he's looking to go into acting or theatre. Alot of people who have been on shows like X factor end up pursuing a career in the theatre.

    He came out as gay when some people hacked his Twitter account and wrote that he was gay then he decided to come out and in the open about being gay.

    No it hasn't affected his sales but he may have lost a few girl fans.

    He did appear on this years X Factor, he performed one of his singles on there.
