Why do X-Factor insist on getting young boys to dress like 40 year old bankers?

Leon's suit is foul on his music video. He looks awful!

I don't understand why X-Factor always like to dress up young people as 40 year old bankers/politicians?

And at least if you're going to, give him a nice black one with a bigger tie, not something Mr Bean would wear. It's horrible.

Yes he did have some rather nice suits, but I wish they had dressed him a bit younger and more casual sometimes.

I think the problem was most of the clothing budget seemed to go on Rhydian....and Leon's legs are a stylists' nightmare, to be fair.

You would have thought they would have spent more when it was for the video .... I'm sure Leon wore that suit for a performance on x-factor ... he also wore it for the premier of the Golden Compass

I know what you mean - it was either camp sequined spangly suits.. or just suits They seem to dress him older than he is.
When Leona was on the show they did a poor job of dressing her in something that looked her age for Lady Marmalade (come on - jeans and a top)?
Mind you Simon might have had a heart attack if she wore anything sexier

His legs round you? I saw a comment on YT the other day that, although cruel-ish, made me laugh. 'With legs like that he couldn't stop a pig in a passageway.'

I agree with both those points.

The clothing budget was (quite justifiably in my opinion) thrown at the show's only real potential star, plus Leon's shape would have hardly set the stylists dancing around the room at the prospect of having to think up what to put him in.

Are you calling yourself a milf? Surely that's for others to judge.

She looks older than she is in the Bleeding Love video too.

It's remarks like this which make me so glad that Leon won.

If your bank manager is wearing £1500 Dior suits like Leon then I would I check your account.

That was a £1500 suit???? Looks like a Primark special to me. He just hasn't got the sort of body shape to carry off that sort of look imo.

He's only 18, far too young for beige suits let the lad dress his age.

She looks more her age in a cute way with 80's Whitney Houston hair I think I think her hair looks better straight, its just they seemed to have aged the rest of her giving her a new look too.. she still looks good though

Rhydian needed the big budget. A face like Leon's makes the stylist's job very easy.
