Cowell looked gutted Leon had won
The show deserves Leon as the winner. Rhydian's too good for them and Cowell. I hope Rhyd signs with someone else

I have slagged Leon off throughout the series but tonight he was fantastic and thoroughly deserved to win.
The duet with Kylie was great too. Well done, Son

I dont no why it really matters to him though, if he wants Rhydian to have a contract he can just give him a contract.

Can you blame him? He knows that classical stars sell shotloads of albums (Il Divo and Paul Potts for example). Leon will be a one hit winder, he is unmarketable.

I'm still trying to understand why someone who has been classically trained needs to win the X Factor to be able to have a career. Leon deserved it more IMO.

I doubt it, infact I think it's been more 'geared' to Leon winning. Duetting with Michael Bublé and Kylie Minogue? Ray being dropped just before the show? If Cowell plays this right, and snags a duet with Michael Bublé on an album - he'll do very well. Just with Il Divo and G4, you don't need to be in the charts week in and week out in order to be top of your game.
In all fairness, all three of the finalists are going to go far in their respective fields. Rhydian will sell (probably) millions of records, Same Difference will be Kings and Queens of the children's television market, and Leon may well just be the next swing star. I just hate all the 'awful winner' stuff - who cares that your favourite didn't win? Give Leon a chance, the show's over and all three are going to get their chances to shine. Leon deserved the win since his performances tonight were very good - but give him a chance. No point in shooting him down before he's even 'made' it. |

He'll have one single then slide back into obscurity where he belongs. He hasn't the talent to sustain it...just like Michelle McMuffinhead. |

I take that 5 years' training thing the other way.... It shows someone is dedicated and willing to live for (and learn) their music, rather than fritter away their time in a clothes shop.

Hence we are both right. Unremarkable and unmarketable. What the heck happened there ? |

Wouldnt you have looked gutted too, he has to attempt to get Leon a voice, personality and SOME rythm within a few days and its very busy in the shops this time of year!

Leon hit a lot of bum notes tonight, especially in that awful WYB. Also have to say Kylie's outfit was horrific
![]() Then again I hated Katherine Jenkins too. Long term Rhydian will be more successful. |

No wonder he was gutted. For once Simons Cowells chosen one didn't win. That's the first time since Will Young won that the public went against him.

His little speech to Rhydian said it all.

Leon gets into singing at the start of the year and by the end of the year wins X-factor. Must be something going for him. |
