Do you think Leona topped the vote every week?

With the exception of maybe week 1, I think she probably did.

Lol ironically Cannonball is playing in the background
I reckon she pretty much owned the vote after she performed Summertime.
Leona only won with 60% which isn't that great when compared to someone with Ray. I reckon Ben, Leona, MacDonald Brothers, maybe Ray (but I think he was second a lot) topped the vote.
I have always wondered why we were never told the voting each week, and I have always felt it was due to the fact that Leona did not top the votes every week. I do not think for one moment she did a Matt and ran away with it from week 2 onwards, but that is just my opinion. I think the Daily Star have proved to be pretty spot on for a couple of years and they could have been back then as well.
The McDonald brothers are supposed to have also topped it which would not surprise me in the least.
When you say win it, what do you mean, he was in it and came 2nd, yes but not sure I get you, unless you mean he topped the voting at that point?
Lovely lad as well.
Obviously I meant top the vote that night since, you know, Leona actually won, not Ray.
They didn't start to release the voting until series 5, after all the controversy with Laura White's exit, to show that everything was above board.
It's irrelevant who won the vote each week now anyway. Leona won the final and the rest is history.
I think that was more down to the big Sun campaign backing Ray than actual voting figures. Leona was the bookies favourite to win.
It's because they weren't contractually obliged to reveal them until XF5 onwards
Leona definitely didn't top every week. There's no way she topped the first week - I don't think she was extraordinarily high-profile before the live shows. Prominent, but not one of the majorly pimped contestants. (Or at least as I remember it)
The Mcdonalds got to 4th place without ever being in the bottom2 so it's a possibility they had done quite well along the way. Ray was bottom2 mid-way and we've seen in the past how somebody can get a massive surge of votes afterwards, if they are quite popular, also Sharon said he was Panto Boy and I can just imagine that provoking people into voting alot that week as has been seen when Simon gives negative comments. Ben had some really strong weeks too.
I cant see anybody else would have been likely to come top that year but I dont think it was as clear cut as just Leona the whole way through and 60-40 is good but not as high as some imagined it might be, especially considering Ray had previously been bottom2. I also trust Daily Star, they do have a good record and were once again dismissed this year but seem to have got several voting places correct.
Alex won in around a 58-42 margin after finishing second in the Semi Final, so it's hardly that out of the question...
Absolutely no idea.
Did X Factor give out the voting figures back then?
