I'm shocked no one has motioned Robert! He should of made the final!
Actually i mentioned him when i started this thread.

i was a massive fan of Robert.he was criminally underrated and yes he should have made the final.

ive said it before but ill say it again..his rendition of Mr Bojangles was absolutely bliddy brilliant.

anyone have any recent info on Robert??

Nerys I don't believe Peeves was being serious (in fact they admits they were lying) it was I imagine a tetort to Beer's post claiming to know the riggers from Michael Buble's tour and claiming to know what MB really thinks of Leon. Merely illustrating the point that anyone on this forum can make up any old crap and post it as fact.
I did know that Tigerpaws but it was her next sentence I was replying to and to be honest found offensive. There is no need for remarks like that.

I can lie as well, you know. Oh no wait, Rhydian IS a stuck-up princess.

Robert? He was awful. Irritating and very bland.

He had soul and could sing, but got voted off Because Simon wanted to eliminate the competition!

His voice is outstanding!

I quite liked Robert He had a soulful voice but I didnt like it so much when he tried to do the "Let's party" schtick all the time, in ABBA week i would have preferred him to sing "Take A Chance On Me" soft/slow.

They did not win so they were in the public's opinion not the best.

Surely that would be the voting public and not the public as a whole ... not everyone votes on reality shows but they still have opinions on them and like or dislike particular acts.

Although I sense that this thread is about personal opinions and not public opinions.

In X-Factor terms they were at best, second best

Not necessarily in the personal opinion sense though which is what assume that this thread is about personal opinions not on amounts of votes.

Now that would have been an x-factor worth watching .... well perhaps with the exception of Val Doonican

Ah right .. that must have also been the year that Syco were planning on branching out into the knitwear market, with their own brand of sweaters.

Wow that is clearly one disturbed individual my heart goes out to Rhydian honestly you wouldn't wish disturbed fans like that on anyone.

(No disrespect to any current RAT posters on this forum).

Rhydian, and anyone else with a sane mind, would be disgusted to read such hateful drivel. How can anyone show so much venom towards a lad whose only 'crime' was to enter a singing competiton? I find it really creepy. I fear for Leon sometimes

In the big wide world he's going get loads of people on his back. He'll have to deal with it! You may find it in bad taste, but you have to accept not everyone will like him! Footballers get slagged off and can cope, so Leon will have too as well!

How many other pop stars have sick videos (by the same person) posted about them all over the web, though? You've got to agree that it is beyond extreme. Only an obsessed person would bother making these videos. I don't like loads of artists, but wouldn't dream of making nasty videos about them. Totally pointless. I prefer to concentrate on the artists I like.

No one expects everyone to like Leon - no singer is universally liked but this particular blogger has a nasty history which many on this forum know about - he is strangely obsessed and quite sick the lengths he goes too.

Its one thing to dislike a singer and even write a blog about it its another to go to the trouble of creating offensive videos and linking them so that when young fans search out their fave they come across some truely nasty vids. This same person goes to the trouble of up dating this links to coincide with anything Leon related eg XF tour, new single etc that to me suggests unhealthy obsession.

I've never seen any of these videos, so can't comment on that.
