I am an X Factor addict and the past few years I have had a clear winner who I felt very passionate about, that being Shayne Ward & Eton Road . I used to shout at the tv and jump around the living room when the weekly results were being announced.

But I have found with this years contestants that I don't actually give a hoot who wins, nor do I feel passionate about any of them.

Am I alone in this?

I want Leon to win... even more so these days to annoy everyone of this forum that dosn't like him and to really annoy the die-hard Rhydian fans who are turning this forum into such a horrible place to post

To become jaded is understandable.

We've seen it all before and have become so media-savvy now that we realise that its all a money-making Pantomime.

i always felt Leona should rightfully win and i think Rhydian should and will win this year, so i have been happy with results so far. I knew Leona would win last year so wasnt jumping around the room, when they said each week she was through i was like 'good, good' but if my fave had gone out then maybe i would have been jumping around too.

Completly agree. I am sick of the snide remarks and the name calling and the level those people sink when they cant even refer to the boy by his name. Its called bullying and its downright rude and unacceptable imo.

I think it is a dire shame and thank god on our reality TV site we dont have this crapp, as it is horrible to sit and read.

Leon to win for me, love the lads voice and think he has a wicked sense of humour, which is not coming over from Rhyd at all, see he has moaned now about Xtra Factor, it was not what he signed up for, well Rhyd read the small print mate as when you win you may find you signed up to a lot more that you did not know about as well. And before anyone *barks* I think he is a good singer, just not sure about many of his fans on here being very nice people they have put a lot of people off to be honest with you.

I think it's a shame that this is rapidly turning into another, 'let's insult Rhyd fans' thread. We are all individuals with differing personalties you know, we are not one big living organism.

Shame other supporters of Rhydian dont think the same when they descend upon threads and fill it with vile vitriol over who they hate [usually Leon].

Well I find the postings of many of this people with differing personalities within the organisim very insulting.

To constantly refer to Leon in the way Rhydian fans do is very rude. I won't even mention the way the fans of Leon are spoken off either. Its sad the fans have to reassure themselves that Rhydian is good by being so mean-yes he is good but he is not everyone elses cup of tea.

So that makes it ALL lies then? righto

I am not a Rhydian hater either, he happens to be my second fav in this show, but some of his fans are very very rude and nasty in some of the Leon threads and you will note I am not in eithers appreciation threads I am sure you can work out why.

Some people does not = ALL people. I am supporting Rhydian without calling Leon any names, thank you very much.

Of course not, but you were quoting it as if he definitely said it. He very probably didn't. It works both ways.

Err...generally, yes! Remember Rhydian was "quoted" as saying he wanted to leave the show/was being bullied by the other housemates (depended which paper you read) a couple of weeks ago - that all turned out to be nonsense. Watch the backstage vids: he is very happy and grateful to still be in the show and has said so over and over again...

Not really, if I'm honest. Leon will get a recording contract, I am convinced. That makes me happy.

I'll be disappointed for Leon, if winning is what he wants....but in reality....he's done what he needs to do

Yes and like you I am not here having nasty pops at any of the artists left in this show, the only ones I wanted out were Hope as I could not stand they hype as they seriously could not sing as a group.

I think as a Rhydian fan you should digest some of the dire things people have said on here, as really there is no need at all for it. In fact I think it is shameful that some of these people have kids Leons age, how would they like someone to pull their son or daughter to bits due to their accent, or family background.

Lets be honest following the Daily Mail spread many people could be nasty back in some really not so nice ways about Rhydian, and I wont go into them, but I can imagine what people might post here, thank god my site would never allow this crapp to go on, we would close it down or ban people.

Likewise, some Leon fans have said some 'bloody horrible' things about Rhydian and Rhydian's fans. Track down the '...thump Rydian' thread if you want to see vile comments... It's not all been one-way traffic.

Well said Steve, I feel exactly the same. I agree that some Rhydian fans say nasty things about Leon, but not all of them and I have met some very nice Rhydian fans on this forum.

The same can be said for a small amount of Leon fans who seem to enjoying insulting and snarking at Rhydian and his fans at every opportunity.

Also for people to say they want Leon to win in order to annoy Rhydian fans, isn't really that fair on Leon is it. Why not support Leon and want him to win for the lad himself and his future career.

Personally I would like Rhydian to win, not to annoy other fans but because he has entertained me the most, I think he has a lot of talent and I like the way he has conducted himself throughout the show.

But whoever wins or loses, good luck to them.
