Credit where credit is due, his voice on those album clips has matured so much and if they are anything to go by, the album is going to be very good indeed. Good luck to him for Saturday evening - I can only imagine how nervous he must be feeling.........performing on the show as a bona fide recording artist. He will do you fans proud I`m sure of it.

I love them all so much, I can't pick a favourite! Can't wait for the album, it's gonna be incredible.

Can't wait to see Leon sing DCTL live on Saturday. It's gonna be fantastic to see him back as the X Factor winner! It'll be worth the 7 hours spent queuing to get in!

Thanks for visiting, Olga. He said he's nervous and excited about appearing, but who wouldn't be?! I wouldn't be able to sleep properly thinking about it.

Leon's in the current editions of 'OK' and 'Cosmopolitan' magazines. Now, I'm just waiting for him to appear in 'Hello' magazine. Remember our conversation from a while back.

Not that long to wait until Rhydian appears on a live XF show too. I'm looking forward to hearing some of his album songs also.

I love what I have heard so far.
I also think that he must be getting nervous for Saturday. It's almost a career defining performance, but I am sure that he will be fine, and probably more than fine.

Great idea to have this thread on the forum

Leon must be sooo nervous for Saturday, but also really excited. I think he will be fantastic. He actually sounds even better on the live clips than he does on record.

I love all of the album clips I've heard so far. I'm really, really loving 'Stargazing' at the moment. It's such a cool song and Leon's vocal makes me feel so emotional

I love how his album has been aimed at people of all ages and all tastes. The way to have a lasting musical career is not to concentrate too much on just one demographic, imho.

I'm absolutely delighted at the mix of material on Leon's new album.

The choice of covers is as clever as the choice of new songs. I am just delighted....there's nothing I've heard that I feel indifferent about. It's all sooooo good. There's also enough variety in there to impress me.

Leon's vocals are stunning. Misty Blue is by far, my fave track, so far. It sounds like a very seasoned singer in his 30s doing that song.

The effort being put into developing this album and Leon's whole image is very well done, IMO.

Waiting for this album, as we did with Leona's, has been the right thing to do, IMO.

So pleased to read your comments Olga. Creative is my absolute favourite song and it is an original track so I am hoping it is picked as the second single. It would do well around Christmas time and also sell more copies of the album as it is very funky and quite an unexpected song from Leon. The video would be a lot of fun too.

Ohhhhhh, it's just great. They have portrayed Leon perfectly....the young man....handsome and all vulnerable.

Well done, Sony BMG.

I loved the clip of Creative from the first listen - which is more than I can say for Don't Call This Love - so I too really hope they have plans to release this one next. I think it could be a hit waiting to happen if they catch the moment right...

I just watched the DCTL music video on YT. Thanks ArtyAttack for posting it. The video conveys the lyrics of the song quite well. Leon has grown to be an attractive young man able to convey the emotions of a mature man. What a transformation from last year. I am sure Leon will be fine on XFactor - I think he sings the song better live as proven by his live performance in Edinburgh - he gave more edge to the song.
Don't you guys notice that a song means so much more when you see Leon singing it?

Nice retro feel to the video. I know that Leon will be feeling very nervous about this Saturday but as long as he remembers he is no longer being judged and just to go out and enjoy himself then everything will be fine.

I really like that video - very stylish and evocative. Good job! Our boy Leon looks (and sounds) all grown up. He's gone from very cute to very handsome.

His performance of 'Don't Call This Love' at Edinburgh shows what a demanding song it is. It's good that he has had chance to sing this live a couple of times before he appears on the XF live show.

What an amazing reception Leon got when he appeared on stage in the live videos.
