That's three of you then......

It doesn't matter how many people don't like him, he's getting the votes from people who DO.

I will admit he is getting more confidence, which is good, as he does need it if he is to win and performe in front of millions live at a concert.

But, for me he still lacks stage presence and he isn't that good of a singer, he is very, very average. He really isn't that good as some people are making out to be. He defo hasn't got the X Factor.

He is very dull and boring, and gives dull performances.

I don't think he'd last in the real music business.

Nither do I. I don't mean to sound nasty but he just looks like he wouldn't be able to cope, he is far to shy and he looks lost all the time, like as if does his mum know he is out kind of thing.

I know he is a shy boy and only 18, but in the music business, you can't be like that.

I really like Leon. I appreciate that he has to learn to [i]perform but he can absolutely sing. In fact, I think he has a wonderful warmth and tone to his voice.

Same Difference - OMG who puts that girl in a prom dress every week?!? They have to go.

I hope you're wrong, but at least you make a constructive and valid argument, and make far more sense than all those who are declaring him arrogant etc.

I'm surprised no one has accused him of faking his name to make it look like Leona's.

Wow and you can still type, must not be that bad then or are you just exaggerating for the shock effect you hope to achieve?

Yea, guess he will be another Danni Minogue. Find their niche market and sell millions to those that actually like their music. Never did understand why those people never got the full recognition for their talents or a number one hit song. Seems your a Louis clone. Oh and you might want to check out a band called Rush, unless you've heard of them you'd be surprise at how popular they are.

I was bored by a lot of his performances but I thought You Don't Know Me was brilliant! I think he has shown the most progress in the competition. I'm not really a fan yet but he's growing on me.

He's as dull as dish water. Cowell deserves him.

I thought it was interesting that on some scottish online papers people had commented that they werent going to vote for him and were annoyed she was trying that old trick. Maybe the scottish people dont like being treated like saps.

i would not be surprised, the comments made by Leon's mum assume that if your scottish you should vote for Leon because he is Scottish

The scottish people are allowed to make their own opinion and vote for the act they like to see/hear, it should not matter where they are from

Scottish people surely wouldnt be led by the nose like that. Leons mum makes them sound stupid

No it should not and we are not all like that. What I meant about Leons mum was if you remember last year the MacDonald Bros parents were in the newspapers week in week out asking Scotland to get behind them, Leons mum hasnt done it constantly. You do have to be careful though because other acts have asked their countries to get behind them as well, its not something unique to Leon.

People have always asked their compatriots to get behind them. It's nothing new. This is just another example of people looking for something to complain about in relation to Leon.

It's those bandy legs and the way he walks with his feet turned out, just like Stan Laurel.
