People's Criticism of Leon
From a poster on BuzzJack........
[quote]I think it says something that within the last week the likes of KT Tunstall "Leon winning X Factor is an embarrassment to Scotland. I'm ashamed of my compatriots who voted for him just because of his nationality when he clearly was not the best singer in the final by a long, long margin....", Lee Mead, Connie Fisher, Vocal coaches to the stars Carrie & David Grant "he has a nice tone to his voice, but is range is limited & is vocally weak outside of his comfort zone. And he needs to do some serious work to be able to consistantly sing in key and in time..." , Alesha Dixon, Lemar, Simon Le Bon, Louie Walsh, Denise Van Outen, Melanie C "(laughing) Victoria & Geri are better singers than he is", former Fame Academy "headmaster" & former head of Universal records A&R in the UK and fellow Scot Richard Park "Leon winning ahead of Rhydian, is probably the biggest miscarriage in the history of British TV talent shows. And I would include going way back to Opportunity Knocks & New Faces. It would be tragic if it was not so hilarious..."[/QUOTE] |

If they really HAVE said those things, that's like a dagger to the heart of his career.

You have to laugh, a lot of them aren't exactly having riveting careers in the music industry at the moment. KT's and Melanie C's latest albums have both underperformed and Alesha has needed Strictly Come Dancing to try and revive what career she has left.

And what was 5 or 6 out of the other weeks more voters thought he was. Richard Park? Oh yea..David Sneddon, Alex Parks, Sinead Quinn..he must be so proud!

I remember Richard Park, from FA............didn`t realise he was such a bigwig in the music industry (mind you he did predict Lemar would be a big star even back then when he was in FA with wee Snedders

Did the Fame Academy lot ever comment on the disastrous fortunes of Alex Parks- the girl they hyped to epic proportions and were certain would be a massive success?

I agree. I liked Alex. But he hardly did her career any favours did he?! He isnt one to talk about reality tv show "miscarriages" IMO anyway.

On the other hand, the likes of Celine Dion, Michael Buble, Gabrielle, Sandi Thoms etc etc etc seem to think he has a wonderful vocal talent.
It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it...
