It might make the local TV news

Glad he's got such a lot of support over there

I wonder how big the club is - it sounds like a lot won't be getting in

i know like a champ!it seemed to make him better/stronger.

His week 8 sing off won him a lot of fans, so that worked to his advantage.

Who'd have expected a sing off song to get over a million views on YouTube

You know it's impressive when your mum, who usually never reacts much to this kind of thing, lets out an impassioned cry of "Go for it, lad!"

I agree week 8 won him a lot of fans I think it helped him get to the finals. Which he may not have made if not for the Sing off.

We've got a real rainstorm as I'm typing this - we've even had thunder.

I haven't looked at the national forecast, but it's not good if it's the same in N Ireland and people queuing to see Luke tonight

Absolutely - will do.

I also loved Luke's version of Your Song. It's my favourite Elton John song but its rarely mentioned by the fans maybe because it landed him in the sing off.

But I agree that all the sing offs probably won him many more fans.

Anyone else think he's lost a bit of weight? Either that or the camera on X Factor was super super unflattering x

I think he has lost weight too. Hopefully it is just from better eating habits since leaving X-factor. Here's a picture from Thursday night with his shirt tucked in and his pants do look a little big on him.

Oh my, I don't whether to mourn the loss of his cute podge or be happy he's now living a healthier lifestyle

Not that he looked bad before!

Here's a couple of videos that a fan posted outside the Kremlin.

Talking to Luke
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbzADtEc3Pg

Omg his voice... O.o I'm dead
& He is just so cute! I love how sweet he is to his fans and really appreciates them

Thanks for the vid links kyrain. Love how he is super sweet with all the fans. He has a really generous personality, hope he stays that way even when he becomes the superstar i think he will become.

Omg he has lost weight, i think Luke looks great either way, he'll also naturally lose weight during the tour too I reckon, I hope he hasnt read the silly "fat" comments .

He is super sweet with his fans I agree. Can't wait to see all the videos and pics uploaded .

He's said more than once how laid back he is (Louis said it too). I should think someone like that is very easy to work with. Louis would give him the song choices and Luke did the rest himself. I think finding a song to suit Nicky and Sam C would have been harder (especially Sam with the weaker voice).

It won't hurt him to lose a little weight (maybe he's been exercising?), just be sensible about it and make sure he still eats proper meals.

Look forward to pics and videos, hopefully we'll get a review too
