And who was big-headed? Not Rhydian anyway as has been confirmed by all who worked on the show and all other contestants. I don't think Leon was big-headed either

Unselfish, thoughtful, caring, lovely guy with beautiful talented voice works for me every time!!!

I would be proud if either of my boys hold me in such high regard at that age.

Like i said, Its my opinion, I have my reasons for thinking this, Its actually pointless explaining it to a Rhydian fan, I certainly don't want to start an argument, So lets just leave it.

And my opinion.

Big-headed is perhaps the guy who did not even acknowledge his fellow finalist after the show. Not one word, to say, "unlucky". Real class there.

Maybe that was coz they guy was totally dumbstruck, For goodness sake he just won, I doubt he was expecting to (unlike Rhydian), He was pretty speechless, Leon never once came across as big headed, More the boy next door, Probably the reason he was liked more, Im sure he spoke to Rhydian when he got the opportunity.

Ok I probally wont agree with you but if you wont say your reasons then it makes it sound like you dont have any.
and its not an argument its a discussion.

And that confirms my view - the X Factor has become a popularity contest. I honestly believed the average viewer was sophisticated to disregard the sob stories cynically used by the producers to increase the show's voting revenue - obviously not!

We slag off the youth of today for being disrespectful, undisciplined etc etc, and along comes a young lad who aspires to use his talent to better himself and his family, and what do a lot of people on here do? Slag him off because he dared to beat their favorite.

IMO Leon is a great role model for youngsters throughout Britain.

I wish him and his family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Yers

Absolutely - Leon did not expect to win. He was in shock. Maybe the VT helped him, but I think it was his performance of the winner's song that edged it for him. As for Louis Walsh's comments, does anyone really listen to him?- he changes his opinion every week he probably still thinks it was the Scottish vote as well.....

Just what evidence do you have to suggest Rhydian was expecting to win? Hmm.........Perhaps none...Because there wasn't any....
Rhydian was all the things you say Leon was also. It really has nothing to do with whether or not he's the boy next door type. I couldn't give a darn. I sit down to watch a singing contest and vote for the best singer, not the poorest or the person with the biggest smile.

Claps out loud - most of the contestants were doing it for themselves.

Leon wants a better life for his family - good for him

His mum said on his VT that she wanted him to win "for him" - what a lovely supportive family

I agree, it was definitely the winner's song - Leon's version was excellent compared to Rhydian's snooze version - zzzzzzzzz!

absolutely!, Where as Rhydian wanted it because he thought he was so good!, He got turned down in the past by Lloyd Webber so he couldnt have been that good!

Big-headed is perhaps the guy who did not even acknowledge his fellow finalist after the show. Not one word, to say, "unlucky". Real class there.
So the fact he hugged him almost immediately means nothing then....and they were clearly talking while hugging but you couldn't hear it.

Leon was completely overwhelmed by his victory and to suggest there anything remotely 'big headed' about him is outrageous and very mean spirited...

They are both good guys.

It's perhaps difficult to imagine what Leon felt like. Overwhelmed, shocked, stunned? We don't know what Rhydian would have done.....he didn't win.

As for Leon. Big headed? Naaaaa....not from anything that I have seen. In fact.....didn't we discuss the article where Leon was quoted as 'looking up' to Rhydian and being inspired by him? Hardly a big head.
