In relation to the comment about us Leonardos working in shifts....which is a hilarious thought.


'Snow White' comes to mind....instead....we have a wee prince with tons of matronly () well wishers

Lmao, that may be the first time I've been called 'matronly'...

Isn't it sad that some people can't grasp how the +/- game works instead using it to try and wage a personal vendetta, btw?

Well, I hate those bliddy games! I'm only doing it to keep you happy!

Oh dear 20 mins of house work and I'm bored, back on here for a wee few minutes while the Cif takes off the grime from the bathroon sink....lovely!

For the record I hate those +1/-1 games, I'm only doing it to show team spirit !

ha ha, now that's team spirit...

I always get sucked into these types of game, must be a numbers thing.

Brainy git

Just reporting for my shift.
Sorry I am a bit late. Real life beckoned. Cant be on too long but I shall be here in spirit - and of course with spirits later on.

Not really....

Just hard working...

hello, Arty, you missed some fun earlier...

I expect it was the usual sort of fun.

Hi Arty....glad you're here. Hate it when one of the regulars aren't about

I'm sure you can well imagine...

Just over three hours to go...

I am a bag of nerves already and unlike some fans of other acts I never feel confident until my favourite has actually performed. So many things can go wrong and we also have to rely on so many things outside of Leon's and our control like performance order, judges carefully placed comments, arrangement of the song as well as Leon not forgetting words etc.

Yeah me too....the waiting is the worst when you really care about the outcome...

I'm excited about tonight, but the nervous are creeping up on me all the time....

30th anniversary of 'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing' - let Leon sing it on the X Factor...

Couldn't agree with you and Arty more....nerves all the way.

Yes, about sums me up too.

I just want him to sing and perform to his best with this classy track, you cann't ask for more.

Absolutely, and I know he will give it his all. I am proud of the guy whatever happens...

Of course that doesn't stop the nervous one bit...

Is that your attemp to break the tension?......and dont go posting a bloomin youtube clip either!

lol...something like that anyway!

Just popping in to say that I am really looking forward to hearing Leon sing tonight whatever the outcome. This is a song of his choice so I hope he just goes out there and enjoys it.

I'm a realist/pessimist and I know that my taste is rarely shared by the majority so every week my favourite stays in is a bonus for me - and it's an added bonus that this week he gets to sing a classy song that he likes.

I am not at all nervous because I feel that if it's meant to be, it will be.

(how's that for cool, calm and collected?)

It is fabulous. I love this post. It's brill... A really nice and fresh perspective for us old worry warts.

Can I have some of your happy pills? I think I will be needing them before the show is over.

ARRRGGHHHHHH. Nearly spat out my afternoon 'relaxant' there!

Hi there...

very nice words, and very true.

I am happy that Leon is getting to sing he wants to sing after a few weeks were he has had little or no choice, and whatever happens at least he will be happy to have had the chance to do it.

I wish I could share your cool, calm and collected persona...
