Right we all know that it looks as thou Rhyidiot is going to be the winner of this years X Factor & as much as I hate his style he has got talent but I cannot see him spending 6 weeks at the top like the lovely Leona.

People are sick but not that sick

I agree, none of the finals even come anywhere close to Leona, she out shines and out sings them all.

It wont even surprise me that whoever does win this year wont even get to Xmas Number 1. And if they do, they wont sell as many sinlges and downloads as what Leona did.

I don't think whoever wins this year will have the same buzz about them worldwide. Leona was on Youtube and Perez Hilton and got quite good exposure in America through that. Clive Davis gave her a multi million dollar deal for J Records too. I can't see whoever wins this year getting that.

Rhydian's getting big youtube figures already and is being promoted in the same way by perezhilton.

You just can't predict where he'll go careerwise post-winning the X Factor. Far too early.

I guess. Paul Potts from Britain's Got Talent went top 30 in the Album charts there. Rhydian could do OK over there, but I think maybe he might be a bit to camp for the states. The Scissor Sisters are massive over here and in Europe but have never had a hit in their home country of America. I can't see record labels in America falling over themselves to sign Rhydian like Leona.

Perez Hilton is bigging up Rhydian (although acknowledging that he is no Leona when it comes to talent )

Let's be honest, he is the only one left with any real talent.

No thanks, we have Leona's album to listen to, as do 737,000 others. Hope you're enjoying her success as much as we are.

Why would we, when we can listen to Leona's amazing voice instead, which is selling truck loads at the minute.

I didn't realise it was a competiton - anyway whoever wins this year has a completely different style to Leona and probably not such a unique vocal talent, but they have other strengths. For example, should it be Rhydian, he has a tremendous stage presence and is a very articulate and charming interview partner. Comparisons are pointless and very petty. It would be a better world if everyone just enjoyed their own favourite artist and left others in peace to do the same.

Dear darkjedidiotmaster,
you are right,Rhydian won't beat Leona to the "most boring record of all time"...a record she managed very easily.

It's the follow up record that is most telling.

LOL whatever. And then when that's a success, you'll say "It's the third record that is most telling."

Then how did he fail to outsell Leona with his second album? As you said yourself:

Well Leona should know. This is her third album after all.

Biggest selling debut album, my rear end

Why are you trying to make out that it's a competition between Rhydian and Leona?

'Won't beat Leona'?
What's Leona got to do with anything and why are you seeing it as a competition between them both?

If you felt secure enough about Leona then you wouldn't even feel the need to compare Rhydian to Leona and declare that he won't 'beat' her.

This is what it all comes down to. The fact that despite her success, her fans are not at all secure of her prospects. Pathetic really and embarrassing for the poor girl.

That was my immediate thought when I read the opening post of the thread.
Supporting Leona by trying to undermine Rhydian. If she was that good then somebody would be able to concentrate on supporting her by celebrating her own merits in a positive way.

If Leona has left The X Factor and gone onto pastures new, then you would think that people would be able to stop themselves from reverting back in time and lingering around on this show by re-attaching her to The X Factor.

If Leona is that good then people would see beyond The X Factor and compare her to other acts such as Girls Aloud, or Mika, or some other act, because they are her peers now.

I don't see why anyone has to 'beat' Leona. Can't they just have a career without being in competition with past X Factor contestants?

Urgh, gloating about Leona.
Is that what supporting Leona means nowadays?

Go and listen to her enormously successful album then.

What are you doing here gloating that she's better than this year's acts for if you've got her wonderful music to listen to?

Got bored of it did you?

Yes she can. Leona is going to be rather busy launching her album in the usa. Why would she even be slightly interested in someone taking part in a talent contest? This whole thread is plain stupid.
