Steve Brookstein Fears His Pop Career Is Doomed

Steve Brookstein fumed to The Mirror over the way his record label has handled his career since winning ‘X-Factor’. “I’m fed up with being slated. People shouldn’t judge me until they’ve seen my real work,” the 36-year-old moaned. “At the moment, I’m doing covers and it’s a bit cheesy. BMG wants me to release ‘My Father’s Son’ next. And although I’m happy with the album – and it got to No.1 – I want to do something more creative.”
