X Factor - Journey South - Crowded house sound?

[marcoddy]

Hi, does anyone think that Journey south have a very "Crowded house" sound ? Not a bad thing by any means but I definately hear them in there. Your comments please...

Basically after watching them over the last couple of weeks I think they can sing most anything.... hope this fame thing is good to them... would love to see them live in a small club ....

Well yes they have a Crowded House sound in that they are brothers and that they sing but that's about where it ends.

Maursie, i'm not comparing them to crowded house... just that some of the melodies definately REMIND me of crowded house.

I think that while X Factor is a great programme, the success is always going to be limited post-show because covers-only bands/acts can only sell so many records. Bands coming through, even if their voices aren't technically as good, have more success because their sound is often unique and go hand in hand with the new lyrics.
