New Year Buble-y for the Leon king
From today's Mirror. Quote:
Looks like Christmas has come early for baby-faced X Factor winner Leon Jackson. Fabulous news for Leon He was stunned when his hero, jazz singer Michael Buble, called out of the blue to suggest the pair work on a possible duet in 2008. A source said: "As soon as X Factor was over, Michael's PA was straight on the phone to try to set something up. "Leon couldn't believe it. He was completely bowled over."

That's great! I can just imagine Leon's face when he heard that
![]() It's nice that Buble was really genuine about his interest and I hope he takes him under his wing a bit. |

Great news! Very generous of Michael

Leon did very well on the XF in gathering a whole army of celeb compliments and supporters.

Jon was very impressive when he sang the Barcelona duet with Lesley Garrett.

So am I. He signed a 1 Million pound deal with Universal Records so they will hopefully be promoting him well. He is the real deal and the only reason I loved G4 so much.
![]() ![]() G4 weren't my faves (as you know), but Jon was always such a great guy and I loved him doing Nessun Dorma. This is the song that separates the men from the boys, as it were.

Just wondering what people think that Michael and Leon would do if they were to do a duet?
Home would be an obviouse choice, but maybe it would be something new? |

Jon Ansell is obviously very driven as in that 10 second interview in which he praised Leon he managed to shamlessly plug his upcoming album. An album that would be fighting for the same niche market that Rhydian would attract.

Not daft is he ................plugs his own album whilst bigging up his main competition`s rival
Precisely, as if Ansell's going to be welcoming Rhydian into the business
