We, Rhydian fans feel cheated that leon won, but surely we should let it go. The guy is only 18 years of age, give the guy a break.
Besides, even leon fans know that Rhydian will last longer.
Currently there is alot of hate surrounding him. Hes a poor lad who wanted to win for his mum.
Rhydian has been offerred a record deal by Simon Cowell.
So lets sit and enjoy the christmas no 1 this year with Leon Jackson.
I just wanted to write this because, even though i think that the Rhydla was robbed, Leon should be given a chance.
Leon appeals to a wide area of the public. If we think about it, he is more marketable than Rhydian. However, Rhydian has the voice.

A lot of Rhydian fans have 'let go'. It's not just Rhydian fans that have made negative comments against Leon though and we should not forget this. All 3 finalists have had a bashing from a lot of people and it's still going on.

I'm looking forward to hearing confirmation from Rhydian after his well deserved holiday in Mexico about his record contract. I suspose some of it is top secret at the moment though.

I'm cool about Leon winning. It was a shocker, but it's was a popularity contest this year. I'm sure Rhydian will do exceptionally well.

He will come back toa contract with Sony/BGM not Syco, will be on several tours prior to the X factor tour.
They have had to hire the concert hall for two days longer than expected as so many what to attend these non Xfactor concerts

There is one in Southampton - I think a date has been announced but I don't know it.
And there is one in Southport, all we know is that it is in January at some point and at the Floral Hall.

Because you think that Leon appeals to wide area of the public and more marketable is remarkable thinking. It does not mean that those who voted for Leon will be turned into sales. Remember he will be selling the swing gentre which has been done and copied hundreds of time which I refer to as imitation/copycat market

The way I see it, it was a popularity, cute and sob story competion maybe thats why he won. Who knows. Its not real. Time will tell what sort of age groups are buying into Leon.

But I can tell you that Rhydian spreads across all age group both here and abroad (13-mid 70's). I am one of them. To build a fan base you need committed fans. Also he is unique and exciting in what he chooses to do.

Anyway thats my take on it.

Regards

babeth has hit the nail on the head.

The equasion of voting versus physical sales of the single have already gone a long way to proving that.
