Yes. I remember DS wanted them to win over Leona for some bizzare reason didn't they?

To me they were an even more boring version of Journey South from the previous series who were boring enough the first time around.

Yes, many people on here were arguing that Leona shouldn't win over Ray as she was a fake "actress" that went to stage school. The fact that Ray was an award winning soap actor was apparently not a problem however.

The McDonald brothers were dreadful! But who could forget the Conway Sisters? Now they were awful! And they seemed to survive week after week after week.

I remember reading those posts.

Leona was also manufactured as she had received vocal coaching prior to XF

But she is the most successful artist to ever grace the X Factor stage, like it or not. And the only singer from XF to become a worldwide star

They had number one albums in Scotland! They also seemed to tour every night club/bar in the country also. 99% of my Scottish Facebook friends seem to have their photo with them.

Anyone remember when the McD brothers pulled out that utterly awful guitar solo and then Cowell and Walsh bickering like two children over it?

As if either of them would have the first bloody clue what a decent guitar solo sounded like!

One of X Factor's few genuinely amusing moments in recent years.

LOL I know, I almost stopped speaking to my mum when she put a bet on that Ray would win over Leona.

I mean how could anyone believe arguably the most talented person ever seen on a reality show win over a gimp actor in a crap soap.

I wasn't on DS then. It was a simpler time...

I admit that I voted for Ray because Leona was too beautiful and talented and I hated her.
