Love him or loathe him (although i dont know how anyone could loathe him) he has a point. Jahmene believes that the US talent show American Idol would be a much better fit for him than X-factor, because it is concerned with vocal ability and not looks and popularity.
The 21 year old singer commented that: "The show isn't really about singing at all, as you can see from the quality of acts that get past the audition process". The boy has surely come a long way since his shy introduction to the world of reality tv.
And his mentor Gary Barlow completely concurs with his point of view, commenting that: "Im often jealous when i watch the US shows as our singers never seem to be as good as theirs - until Jahmene came along that is".
But Jahmene is the first to admit that had it not been for the show's procedures inviting him to attend one of the audition's after hearing one of songs on Youtube and believing that he would be a good fit for the show, then he would probably have never had the courage to audition.
But as anyone worth their salt will tell you, you have to take advantages of opportunities in life when they present themselves - something which Jahmene has certainly done - and he now certainly seems to be at ease in the public eye, this week hanging out with Nicole Scherzinger at his local ASDA store.
And the public have certainly warmed to the shy singing sensation, with polls reporting that he is the public's favourite contestant - a fact helped by astute and intuitive song choices such as 'Listen' by Beyonce.
They say that today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper, and nowhere is this more true than in the world of reality TV, where almost none of the contestants survive in the public mind for more than a few days after the show has ended. But there are the occasional few who live on in the memory, and only a brave person would bet against Jahmene joining that elusive club.
But whether he continues to be a household name after the cameras have stopped rolling, only time will tell. But let's just hope that whatever happens, he will keep the sense of humility and grounding that caused the public to take him to their hearts in the first place. Surely anything after that is a bonus.
