Leon - unfair to compare him with quality singers
I do think its unfair on him to compare him with quality singers like Sinatra and Buble. He's a glorified karaoke singer who has struck lucky for a few weeks. It will be hard for him once the series ends. He's being bigged up for the sake of making a tv show and naturally is going to think its true. The programmes are very cruel and dont think of the long term conseqences.

I have to say I agree. How can someone with so little experience be compared with those that have performed for years?

why can't people stop using the 'looks' card and suggesting he's a bad singer. gareth gates - yes, understandable. Leon - amazing vocals so how can you justify his looks passing him through.
hope he goes on to win. would love a niki/leon final. rhydian - overrated, glorified one hit wonder. |

When a FM started a thread 'Evict Niki' your response was 'Its always a Leon fan that sets up this type of thread. Its getting tiresome now'' Can I guess who you're a fan of? |

She'd been to stage school and had vocal coaching - she wasn't inexperienced.

If Leon was bad, and I was Bublé.....I wouldn't have embarrassed myself by inviting a crap singer on stage with me and then telling the audience to vote for him. The reason I mention it is that Bublé is the one that gets thrown up often when discussing Leon. It must be a bit on the dark side at the bottom of the barrel, there

I really don't understand the premise behind this thread (I seem to be having a lot of trouble in this regard tonight).
Leon has a particular style like all the contestants do. They all get compared to other singers, it's only natural ![]() Of course he's not as polished as these experienced professionals. It would be plain stupid to expect him to be. But I'm thinking if an internationally acclaimed singer like Michael Buble reckons Leon is good enough to invite onto the stage and sing, then surely that says something? Damn, I've just realised that I fell yet again for a cleverly disguised plot by the 'I like to get really fanatical about things and wind people up on the internet because it's so big and clever' brigade. |
