Hah! That made me smile I like it though. Still think that Brian has a weird taste in choreography however!!

It seems that Tim Byrne also still considers himself a 'fan' of Leon.

Yeah...it's interesting since TB has worked with lots of the XF acts and the only ones there that he mentions are Leon and Alex. Must be fairly up to date then.

Just listening to some Leon and am finding myself listening more to his recent live recordings than anything else.

How amazing is 'Look After You'? I love the way he incorporates Tracy Chapman in there.

I think all this is telling me we need some new Leon recordings a la his live stuff. What say you, our Leon?

We luv ya, kid.

Yeah, it's interesting how he likes to mix two songs. Like the way he added Damien rice's Cant Take My Eyes Off You to the end of Stargazing. Methinks we will be seeing more of this mixing of songs from Leon.

I love Leon's live stuff, his voice has really matured since XF. I remember sitting on the computer in June on the date I was supposed to see him live, just youtubing everything so it wasn't like I'd missed out, obv not the same but I had a smile on my face throughout nonetheless. I think we need a CD of live stuff. Now. Please? To fill the void!

Awww lol.

Do you remember Leon doing impersonations of Brian and the others? He's so good at imitating accents. "5 6 7 8"

I think it'll be next year until Leon will have enough material to make an album. I'll wait as long as it takes. I still love Leon to bits and am missing him.

I am the same. I just adore listening to Leon sing live. He sounds just as good to me as any studio recording.

Leon live. You name it I've got it. lol I play them all the time and love every one of them. The background noise irritated me initially but now I love it. Leon creates such a great atmosphere at his gigs and it is interesting how he changes litle bits in the songs so no two performances are the same.

btw It sounds like there might have been some activity on the new website front!

Just thought you guys would like to know Leon's myspace songs are due to reach the half a million mark anytime now, (most definitely tomorrow as he only needs just short of 2,000).

It was going to be the target for his birthday but the song plays have been doing extremely well over the past few weeks and really boosted the figures. They are way ahead of target so looks like we will have to pick another figure to aim for now.

21-years-old next month! Leon is really growing up (and I'm feeling even more ancient!). It doesn't seem like five minutes ago since we saw that lovely shy young lad at his first audition

LOL, YL.....you've got one extra wee '0' in that big number!

But, yeah, congrats to Leon on the 500,000 plays.

I am really feeling the Leon Neon, yorkielass..... Know what I mean? Lots and lots of smiling going on here.

Just popping in to say hi. Well done to Leon on reaching 500,000 plays.

Thought it was the fireworks lighting up the sky tonight but no, it must have been the Leon Neon.

Just stopping by to add a bit of Leon appreciation.

It's nice to find a safe place to appreciate him in - its a bit shocking/horrifying to come across some of the nastiness out there!

Welcome to the warmth of the Leon Neon, SB. Yes, in here, all is glowing and wonderful.

Out there can be a bit of a bumpy ride. Danyl and Jedward are getting it in the neck big style at the moment. Nice to know our Leon is just working away and doing his stuff.

We hope to hear something very soon.

Thank you for the welcome ZipGypsy.

It seems warm, cosy & mellow in here - just like Leon's voice.

Ooo, I hope we do hear something soon. I'm loving the new acoustic flavour to Leon's music.

And still treasuring the X Factor/Right Now stuff.

YDKM & MB & SG = Goosebumps, still.

You are very welcome on here anytime SB.

We are still loving Leon as much as ever like many others out there. Can't wait to hear Leon's new material. I am sure when we get to hear the new album it will be an absolute cracker! I think it will be so different to Right Now (which I totally adore) but nonetheless another fantastic vocal masterpiece.


btw Aother bumper night on myspace, over 7.500! Woop! Is it really only two days since we reached the 5,000,000 and have already had another 12,000 + plays? Let's hope the trend continues.

Thank you, yorkielass.

I'm really looking forward to the next album too. I have a feeling that his songwriting will be something special with that wonderful instinct for music and emotion that he seems to have. I thought Don't Give Up was a beautiful ballad, sublimely executed.

Great news on the myspace stats.

C & RN = Uncontrollable urge to shashay along.

I had hoped he'd get to the 1,000,000 by Christmas but it looks like the target has to be 750,000 by then a 1million in January.
