Leona Lewis certainly ISN'T 'devoid of talent', but I agree with 99% of his points.
Leona is an amazing singer, which is a great talent to have. But most other XF winners aren't, eg. Leon, he's average, nothing special.
The thing is though, 10 years ago, most music was like this: just be a singer with a team of writers doing the songs, a team of lyricists and voice enhancing technology! It's good we're getting rid of it. "Real" music is band music played live and I'm glad it's back in force now.
