I have a feeling Leon will win this
I just have a feeling that leon will win this.
I think people are warming to him, and he's definitely improved in the last two weeks. He's a down to earth lad and humble, and that's what the public like:- he's likeable. The public dont like cocky, slutty people, that's why hope and futureproof were in the bottom 2. He's the underdog and people will vote for him because of that. In terms of personality, he's similar to leona and gareth gates, and look how far that got them in their shows. Also let's not forget that he's got a distinct voice, which sets him apart from other acts such as andy. Plus, the teenage girls and scottish vote will certainly help. If I was a betting man, I would bet on him to win. |

Leon has a beautiful voice with a wonderful tone to it. He should win

I've thought Leon was a contender right from the start despite the nervous first week.
I knew with confidence he'd get better and from a largely female voting audience - he hasn't really got any male competition. Andy's window-wiper eyebrows and puppy dog face get on my wick. His singing isn't that great either. Leon is more Gareth Gates without the stammer and with a better voice. |

I'd love for him to win.

I cannot think of a single reason why I did not get myself down to William Hills earlier in the week when he was 14-1...

Because he gets sympathy votes for being slagged off every week?
Didn't work for the McDonald Bros. |

I have a problem with Leon. As a singer he's fine, if a bit copycat Michael Buble. But personality-wise - shocking. Once again mumbling into his boots on the Xtra Factor.
And people said Leona lacked personality! Compared to Leon she's Catherine Tate and Dawn French rolled into one! |

Its all very well winning but its whether or not, you can have a career from it. Not just your winning single being an xmas number one and your next single flopping and then you fading in to the background.
This series, I don't think any of them (if they win or not) will be as successful as Shayne and Leona because like it or not, to be that successful, you have to have real star quality. Hope will probably do the best from this series. If Leon wins, will I be happy for him? yes, of course. Will he have a few hit singles? probably, yes. Will he have a long, successful career and be an international star? IMO, No. |

I would like him to win but there is still a long way to go. At the moment I would say Rydian is the favourite to win and I think Dannii will favour him at Leons expense.

I personally think he'll come third or fourth, as there's only 4 with talent in the whole compotition really
and thats him, Rhydders, Niki and Hope the others can have good weeks but cant keep it up for much longer than that |

He has a lovely voice and I think next week we will see a more confident Leon because he actually got some positive feedback tonight which hopefully will give him the boost he needs to realise he is really good.

He actually reminds me of Leona, I loved her personality on Xtra Factor behind the scenes shows and in her video blogs; thought she came across a lot better than on the live show where she was more subdued.
![]() ![]() That post means quite a bit. I really respect what you have to say. I know much you love Leona (who was fab tonight )...![]()
