Joe - One Night in Heaven !
I've always had a soft spot for Joe and his voice really grew on me week after week . As is customary when you win the X-Factor you are sent into exile by Lord Cowell to work on your debut album and comeback to launch your new career victorious on the new season of the X-Factor . For some this launch can lead to untold riches and superstardom like Leona Lewis , for others Like Leon whose dulcet tones failed to set the charts alight find themselves down pops bargain bin and unceremoniously dropped from Lord Cowell's mighty synchro label . Others like Shane Ward find themselves in a bizarre holding pattern until the Dark Lord deems its time for a ' relaunch ' .
Shayne Relaunch is Go ! Leon - Bargain Binned !
Joe's album does have some great moments , a fabulous cover of ' Superman ' dedicated of course to Tom Welling , Ambitions the single , whose B- side 'If You Love Me' was about Joe seeing Harry from One Direction dancing to Joe's record in a club . Gasp as Joe sings 'I've seen your face when they put my record on ' and the hook ' If you love me , then you've got to let me know' . cue lots of bustin shapes and podium dancing .

I'm also rather partial to ' Someone Wake Me Up ' in which Joe warns his lover 'Not to cross the line ' and forbids them to say 'Don't say I love you coz that would drive me crazy ' imagine that a crazy Joe . Joe's world apparently would be turned upside down by this suitor , and full of the power of love , Joe is even going to drive through a red light ! . Now if you don't know , Joe's image is that of the lovable boy next image with a dazzling mega watt smile . so the idea of Joe driving his porsche down the high street and busting red lights is a tad hard to imagine .
Its time to turm the heat up with the Sissors Sisterish 'Fahrenheit ' and Joe's back in the club. This time Joe knows ' Whats on your mind' and 'The temperature is climbing' and Joe's 'Just a breath away from paradise ' Oh my sweet lord I need to lie down . But its not over yet , for in ' Until The Stars Run Out ' Joe sings ' Fingerprints on on the weapon' and ' I've fallen for deception '' oh Harry how could you ?.
The more I listened to the album , as I'm a sucker for this kind of production , I thought Joe does sound uncannily like Glee's Chris Colfers who can also hit the high notes , I'd love to hear them duet together.Actually the whole album would be a great soundtrack for Kurt's love life on glee .
