Here we go again! DS as predictable as ever.

Leon is still very quiet. This is always a good time for him to take a break from his sites and put all his concentration into his music.

So glad our boy is well out of it.

Me too! She's a marvel.

I miss the fun of logging onto the offish and seeing that someone had a snippet of info or a photo of him to share. We were desperate for anything. Those long dark days when it was never updated and we got so frustrated at the way he was being treated. Although we were suspicious, we didn't have a clue then of how fake the X Factor really was/is.

I can remember LJAT parties, someone always brought Twiglets, I hate them.

I've read a bit of the Matt thread and it's the same old same old. He wasn't my cup of tea and I don't like his voice or his single but it's awful for him just the same.

Leon is the only one I've ever been interested in, he's special.

Night night everyone, happy days and all that!

Here is a spontaneous, but very raw melancholic piece by Leon done on an iphone.

Personally I think this would be a beautiful heartfelt song if we heard him singing it at a gig.

For Leon fans only methinks, but the unique vocals are still there to be listened to

If Gary Barlow thinks Frankie is any good just think how he would have reacted to Leon's wonderful vocals Creaming his **** comes to mind.

Can't believe Right Now only sold 37k+ the first week

I'm not sure what the amount is but it went gold so he sold over the amount required to get to that level.

Total uk sales to date appears to be 150000 (Popjustice)

Don't know how accurate but read that worldwide estimated sales at the beginning of last year was 205500.

Thanks Chopsticks
I think the total sales worldwide are pretty accurate coz I remember the stats on here showing the album was still selling about 2,000 a week (including overseas) for several months after the show. It would be interesting to know how many more album have been shifted this year as Leon has continued to gain new fans at a steady pace since then. number of new fans both in the UK and abroad since then.

426,136 Views of creative on You Tube, must have allowed the previous count back if you get my gist.
