Gareth Gates succeeds in second place in the British edition of "Germany seeks the superstar" the winner even top it. No wonder he is with his 18 years a godsend for screeching girlies. But behind this cliché, there is more. Because Gareth has plenty to offer vocally indeed. Although his voice is characterized by a lot of volume or force, but it is unique UDN has a very high recognition value. So all is not enough, unfortunately, because even though the panel, unlike his German counterparts is brimming, she already has as the German "superstars" little variety but more bad than good together Konservenpop stolen. That may have worked in the 90's, in this millennium, it needs a bit more. And so the board does not fail ultimately to Gareth and his voice, but on the one side and produced uncreative, shallow Popsülzen.
