its just my opinion - but i find the song ridiculously dull. i AM a leona fan, but this tune really doesnt do it for me. it will get to number 1 - because its leona. had it been a unknown artist, i doubt it would of cracked top 20

'showing off the show's success story' ? the whole reason Leona keeps being invited back onto the show is to sponge sales for Cowell and Syco. nothing else. they have done the same with everyone else who has signed to them since appearing on the show (including Alexandra in a few weeks time, surprise surprise). that's the whole point of the x factor. Leona will soon have her 3rd appearance in a row. would you bet against her re-releasing her new album at the same time next year, then releasing a full new album the end of the year after?

Leon was terrible, everyone knew that, that's why his first proper (and awful) single flopped. it was a miracle that it even got to no.3, and that was only because of his appearance on the show. he only won the show because half of Scotland voted for him. it was so obvious he would get dropped sooner rather than later.

yes, Take That and other artists have made guest appearances on the show, but that's not the whole reason why they were created. the contestants from x factor constantly get invited back on the show for Simon Cowell's own personal gain. i know i say it a lot and i will keep saying it! sad thing is i don't have much better to do!
