well said TTB
Leon is far more likely to have won due to the "young girl" vote than the Scottish vote

Can't see him having an album half as big as Leona's though. Rhydian was better than him vocally throughout the live shows and I think his album will outsell Leon's.

Why is everyone obsessed with this patriot voting? If viewers of the X-Factors only voted going by what country the contestants lived in, then Same Difference would've won due to the English vote. GET OVER IT - LEON WON! But the English don't vote in the same manner as the Scottish. Perhaps they should, but the Scottish have always had this rather blind patriotism associated with their own.

I can imagine Kriss Its racism Thought those on DS were bad but they're nothing compared to the ones on IMDB. Had a look after someone on Buzzjack mentioned them and even I'm shocked and disgusted.

That's got nothing to do with who won though - there is a campaign every year to sto pX Factor getting Christmas Number One. Before X Factor, there was a campaign every year to stop whatever the bookies favourite was from getting to number one. Usually Westlife. Both of the final two were completely uncharismatic, performed badly on the night, and were really rather boring.

Rhydian did the best version of that song. By far he did, Leon's version did nothing for me and quite a few of his notes were off key. Rhydian's version blew me away, I even had to turn up the volume half way though. Leon is a good-ish mid table singer (think Newcastle or West Ham) but Rhydian is title material (think Arsenal or Man U). Unfortunately, most of Rhydian's support Country-wide would be from middle aged and older people who either don't watch X-factor at all or who don't vote in this kind of competition. Like the twins in Big Brother, Rhydian will be the star; Leon will fade away like Brian seems to have done. (Only just caught up with this, watched the recording without knowing the result, I was out last night )

He only looked good because the people to compare him to were naff.

He only looked good because the people to compare him to were naff. Disagree - he probably didn't choose KJ anyway. It's her who is considered naff by the younger generation, like it or not (same as all classical crossover singers). Her two singles barely scraped into the top 75 (and one didn't do that). Her support, like Rhydian's, would be among older viewers who buy buckets loads of albums but no singles and they tend to vote less in reality TV shows than yojnger viewers. Rhydian never had a chance once Kylie appeared with Leon and Katherine (with far less time for votes by then) with Rhydian - he needed someone who would appeal to younger voters. But Rhydian will out-sell Leon in albums by a mile - not necessarily in his debut (because of the Cowell hype of Leon) but in all subsequent albums.

We shall see. I think you might be surprised. Neither of them will make it past their second album, in my opinion.

You don`t like him - fair enough, but don`t try to say he is not that good.................he was head and shoulders above the rest in terms of vocal ability, stage presence and charisma. Leon is a dullard who can barely hold a note.
