it seems quite monotone but he is good. just when they playing a build up to something they will play the music for his version but when the singing starts for the big bit they use the mariah and whitney version

what does everyone think?

    I think he is rubbish, very average, nothing specail at all. And to compare him to the likes of Michael B and Robbie Williams is an insult to them, he is nowhere near as good as them, they have stage presents, and personality. He doesn't :yawn:.

    I feel like I've stepped back in time here.....:confused:

    But yes he does, it's one of his strengths actually. Don't think WYB is the best example to use in any case.

    who cares what they play on the show its whitney and mariahs song at the end of the day leon only covered it so its more likely they'd play the proper version, no disrespect on leon there as i love him!

    Your question should just be "Does Leon have a voice?".

    I wish him the best, I really do, but it is still beyond me how someone so mediocre (albeit quite likeable) won a talent show. The weakest talent show winner that I can remember. He makes Michelle McManus look like Celine Dion.

    I can't see that either. He looks about 14. Fancying him is obscene unless you're under 13.

    I wish Leon well, but how he won over Rhydian really puzzles me. I thought Leon was very average. :o

    Everything about him looks young.

    His teeth aren't bad. They just have gaps between them. I hate the way the stupid American way of capping perfectly healthy teeth to make them straight and unnaturally white is permeating this country. Why tamper with healthy teeth just because they are not straight or bright white?

    I question the credibility of anyone that listens to those clips and says he is mediocre, tbh. Of course we all have different taste in music, but the lad can sing and I don't see how anyone can say otherwise even if musically he isn't there cup of tea...

    I personally don't think he's that great but I am pleased he won in a funny way. Although I preffered Rhydian it was nice to see a normal, unstagey bloke win it, not a Brit school/classically trained type.

    Why start picking fault with Leon again? He's now a recording artist with a very glittering future, whether people like it or not! :D

    Strange how the negative remarks have started just after links to Leon's NEW ALBUM clips were put on the net :confused:;) Of course, his NEW single is getting regular airplay, and praise from people who were previously unsure about Leon :cool:

    And there is nothing wrong with his teeth. Plenty of people have gaps. It hasn't hindered Madonna :p

    No need to close the gaps whatsoever.

    I'm not denying or debating whether he can sing. Of course he can, just like many contestants and, to varying levels of ability, all of those who get to the live finals but he is not credible winner standard and I speak as someone who quite likes his genre of music.

    !J! - This song shows Leon singing with plenty of emotion

    Michael Buble and Robbie Williams both have had many years to build on their stage presence. Leon is very new to this. The X Factor was the first time he had ever sung professionally but, in my opinion, he has a better voice than either of them. This short clip proves that to me.

    I haven't listened so can't comment on the quality of emotion but 9 seconds out of more than 130 is less than 7% and can't really be called "plenty".

    I think the whole song about unrequited love is emotional. I was just picking out the high point. :)
