Just in case Dannii might be reading, I hope Leon is finally allowed to sing one of his favourite songs- Last Request by Paolo Nutini. So far producers have not allowed him to sing this as they say Nutini is not well known enough.
Now Leon has reached the Final he should be allowed to sing the song that he has wanted to sing since the beginning of the series.

I think it's ridiculous of the producers to claim this song is not well enough known in the UK - it was a big hit record and got tons of radio play.

But for some strange reason the producers wont let him sing it. He won £50 in the karaoke' for singing this song too.

Let him sing it, or we shall unleash 'voice destroyer' on all the finalists, THEN WHAT WILL YOU DO FOR YOUR FINAL, X FACTOR?!

Just go on. Enough with the silly reasons why he shouldn't, we all know they're bollocks.

Very true. They are just being difficult. When you think of some of the songchoices we have had this series too and then they claim that Paolo Nutini is not well known enough for the X Factor audience.

Besides which, surely it's Leon's earned the right to do the song, it's him that has the most to lose if they were proved to be right....

100% Why Dannii has not let him sing it is beyond me but she can redeem herself if she lets him this week!

I agree. Of course he has earned the right but Simon Cowell seems to be running scared and doesnt want him to sing it at all. Lets hope he is allowed this week though.

Since the reason they have given is so blatently a load of tripe, it makes one wonder what the real reason is, hummmmmm!!!

I think it is more to do with the producers than Dannii to be fair. Simon Cowell has the final say when it comes to the songchoices.

It could help him win a bit more than £50 if he could sing it in the final...

Yea thats true ArtyAttack-part of me is still annoyed at the song choice she made-but like you say the final choice comes from above and we never know whats really going on!

Maybe that is the reason why he is not allowed to sing it then?

The Riddler seems to have been able to sing his desired songs in recent weeks.

Make it a cracking Final and let the wee man sing his fave song, he's come so far and it seems an appropriate reward.

I really hope Leon gets to sing the song he wants this week. Ridiculous that they are saying that Paolo Nutini is not well known.

I think most people know the song. It was one of last years biggest hits and was in the charts for ages.

I don't think she is remotely interested in Leon Anymore, She thinks she has her winner in Rhydian.
I get the impression from her that because Leon sang at wembley with God I mean Michael Buble She thinks that is more than enough and he should be happy with that.
I am really worried about the song choice for Leon next week, obviously they have got to sing the song that will be the single, so not sure about that one, I have to be honest Arty I dont know Last Request so I can't comment on It.
