Product Description

With a combination of talent and good looks, Shayne Ward has turned heads and stolen hearts across Britain. His victory on X Factor launched his career, but there is much more to Shayne than talent show potential. Growing up in Manchester, life wasn't easy. Being the youngest son of a very large family, life in the Ward household was tough. But the challenges the family faced made him even more determined to succeed, especially for his mother who sacrificed everything to support her beloved kids. This investigation provides a revealing insight into the world of one of the UK's hottest music stars. With brutal honesty, Shayne discusses his meteoric rise to fame and how life has changed for this shop assistant from the Arndale Centre. It is a celebration of a new, and very young, singing talent, national heartthrob, and pop superstar in the making.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, May 29, 2008

By	Buddy Bailey (Selma, NC) - See all my reviews

This book is the story of X Factor winner Shayne Ward. The book is about his life and becoming one of the best male singers in Great Britian. He is a real talent. As a music teacher and musician myself I was impressed with his vocal range and his approach to the songs. He is of Irish background and lives in Manchester, England. I am also impressed with how humble he was during the X Factor competition. He was very thankful to everyone for their generous comments and suggestions. He is very deserving of this win. Check out his self tilted cd, Shayne Ward and then read this book. You won't be dissapointed.
