happy for Leon

This is great news for Leon. It would add so much credibility to him if he could release a song with Michael Buble. I really hope both parties make sure this happens and as soon as possible. I hope they go for a brand new song rather than a cover version though.

Thrilled to bits for Leon.

'Well Did You Ever' from High Society would be a good one.

I second that! Jonathan Ansell has an amazing voice - I am so excited about his new album!

Excellent news for Leon. That will be a brilliant duet. Looking forward to it.

Jon Ansell has absolutely nothing to fear from Rhydian .
He is doing a mainly classical album which will be in the classical charts. He is a tenor against Rhydians baritone so you should be comparing Rhydian with such as Bryn Terfel - no contest there I fear!

Actually Mike Christie the G4 baritine has an impressive voice - easily as good as Rhydian

Before anyone picks me up on it I intended to write
BaritOne but this silly site won't let me alter anything

Leon = David Sneddon

If true, then I am delighted for Leon.

If it's true, Leon will be thrilled!

I'm sorry but The Leon King is such a lame nickname. Where did that come from?

Interesting that you bring up Bryn Terfel as comparing him to Rhydian is the same as Andrea Bocelli & Paul Potts. Both internationally acclaimed classical singers in totally different leagues to these reality tv guys. It is great to see Bocelli doing so well in the charts this Christmas as hopefully more people will be exposed to a truly great tenor. A wonderful album.

Personally I believe the under-rated guy in G4 was Matt Stiff. His voice is like pure velvet.

To keep on topic - wonderful news for Leon.

Ta-da!

Interesting - I didn't know that Leon had songwriting as another string to his bow!

David Sneddon is successful because he's a songwriter signed to Universal.

In all seriousness, if Leon could turn his hand to songwriting then he could end up a rich man from the Royalties as David Sneddon has.

Leon wants to write songs and hopefully contribute something towards his album. At the moment, he's just jotting down ideas and stuff.

That's fantastic news.

I'd never really listened to Michael before Leon, but after seeing the duet on youtube I listened to more clips, and bought his album along with Leon's CD.

I hope he can reach David's high notes.

Leon is so much better looking, and has a far better personality imo. Leon is also doing a duet with Michael Bublé.

I'm getting Michael album for Christmas. Can't wait to hear it.

I've just bought Michael Bublé's album. His album and Leon's single are both at number one in the UK charts. Fans of both acts are helping Leon and Michael at the moment!

I bought it to give as a Xmas pressie, but had a quick listen before wrapping.


(*whispers * 'tis very good)

Yep i did the same.

I can recommend Bublé DVD "Caught in the Act"!

Michael Buble is currently at No 3 in the album charts. This is due to the Leon Factor. The judges and Leon mentioned Michael so much on the X Factor this year that it has been mutually beneficial for Leon and Michael. I'm please for them both.

It certianly helped his sales, didn't it? He jumped up the charts after his week on XF...

How can I put this in a way that nobody has before. A young Scottish guy enters a competition. no real hopes but Cowel and company spot the potential. The UK public make a decision. For whatever reason he wins against all expectation

Why?

I honestly believe because enough people heard the fantastic and unique quality of his voice. Even when he struggled, to my ears that tone and timbre stirred me. not only did the hairs stand up on the back of my neck I became incredibly emotional. I have no doubt his voice will become known and loved throughout the world
