Leon proved last year proved X-Factor is still just a popularity contest
With the female talent far outweighing the male talent, you would assume one of the females would romp this, however the voting factor still means a male win is likely.

Well Leona won and it will probably be Alexandra or Rachel this year.
It amazes me how bitter people get just because their fave didn't win. |

Well yes...we only have to look at last year's Rhydian v Leon situation to prove this.
It was a pathetic and childish idea to ban Leon's song from some of the Welsh commercial radio stations just because Rhydian didn't win. |

Why is it assumed if people don't like the winner of a competition that they must have had a favourite? Apart from last year, I've never had a favourite contestant. They'll be people who didn't like any of the final 3 from last year.

Because Leon has been singled out in the title perhaps?

Doesn't mean to say that because they don't like Leon that they necessarily had a fave last year though. Or if they did their favourite could have been anyone like Nikki or Hope that didn't make the final 3.

It seems to me you are the one making assumptions. Regardless of who they liked they clearly didn't win because Leon did.....

Yep i agree, even with all this female talent and crap male talent, a male will still win it, probably austin.

If Alexandra or Rachel doesn't win this year, and one of the boys wins... i.e. Austin or Alan, then your theory will be correct.

Maybe it's because I know how these threads about Leon turn out and that it's usually fans of Rhydian that get blamed for all negative comments about Leon.

Austin lacks the likeability factor. I don't think he'll win the hearts of the public like Leon did.

So you're saying it's only Rhydian fans making negative comments? You know that's not true as other people have posted their comments.

I dont think Alex or Rachel are definates to win this. I would think the public are more likely going to vote for Amy or Austin if they make it to the live shows.

It would be like me saying every anti-Leona comment is being made by Ray Quinn fans which would be ridiculous. |

Nope I didn't say that at all...more assumptions. Just that it has been proven over and over again that certain Rhydian supporters on DS have gone out of their way to attack Leon at every given opportunity and quite often are behind negative threads about him. I believe they call me Sluttley on a certain other forum, btw, which is lovely of them, isn't it?
So, it's not just Leon who gets personal abuse

Assumptions on your part too. You can't honestly tell me that everyone who posts negative comments on Leon is a Rhydian supporter as that's not the case.
Anyway, that's all I'm going to say on this matter. Because you know the truth even if you don't want to admit it. |

The entire point of the X Factor is to determine the UK Christmas number one. What's the point of getting worked up about it.

I really think that things have settled down and last year is history for pretty much everyone and I hope it stays that way. It could be that some simply do not like the music. Leon will do very well with the album anyway so it doesn't matter so much what a few people think. And I think the X factor is a popularity contest to some degree. There is nothing wrong with that except when it gets too personal and hostile between the fans. |
