i thought that leon didnt sing well at all last night and that he was out of tune on a lot of notes, maybe people voted for him because they knew that rhydian wouldnt need any help and will go on to bigger and better things i think that loius has got plans for him anyway he said dont answer the phone to andrew lloyd webber, and leon wont be nearly as good as rhydian and as others have said about previous "winners" leon will be a one hit wonder.
Am fed up of the cynical way that x factor ends in time for the winner to get the xmas no 1 single. Seems all the fun xmas records are no more because of it.
I thought Leon winning was a disgrace too. Rhydian was far superior - I thought Rhydian was a cert from the beginning but he will go on to better and better things - Leo (n) the lion will just grr grr for a while and fade out. Look out for Rydian he will be around for a long time
Having recovered the power of speech, I think that the 'singer' (you know the one who sings in tune) who was robbed should record 'Somewhere', as sung last night, stright away and rob the untalented little Scottish git of the Xmas number one.
For me the X factor is over. Never again, not fair or stright enough.
What a bunch of cynics -really -what are you having a pop at Leon for?
Every discussion on here ends in someone having to slate someone -as in 'the untalented little Scottish git'.
Paul -grow up please -have your say but dont slag the guy -he entered the competion for a bit of experience and he was astounded himself he won it -he's only 18 FFS.
Anyway -whats the fact he's Scottish got to do with price of mince?
Right 'Drisgirl', it has nothing to do with nationality. BUT! as mentioned before. leon WAS out of tune, in most of the songs he sang, Rhydion was not, wether you like him or not, he was very good, and every one of his performances were perfect. We will hear more of him. Although 'Same difference' were good, I think Rita(?) should have stayed in.
Puzzled54 - I totally agree. It's about time it wasn't a sure-thing, getting the Christmas Number 1 spot just because you are the best karaoke singer. We should boycott! Oh, wait, I already do. Join me! Follow the gourde!!
I wouldn't say Will Young is the only one to have success from these shows. Girls Aloud haven't done too bad , Kim Marsh and Mylene Klass have both gone on to better things, Leona Lewis is doing well , G4 were coining it in till thet decided to split up , even Shayne Ward is still selling records.
