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?)”

Hi Stevie nice to have you...we're a friendly bunch here.

Smileygirl lovely post. I said earlier he can only do his best and tonight he has a song he chose, can sing well (we know that) and by all accounts (Scottish Sun) he's focussing on how to deliver it to maximum affect.

I agree...what will be will be, or good old Irish saying here:-

What's for you wont pass you by

I love his song and if he has to go out (persih the thought

), far better singing a song like this than Wet Wt Wet or Ronan - just mho of course.

Exactly. Not that I think he will, but this is far more his kind of song than any of that middle of the road cr*p...

Couldn't agree more, QM. I would have absolutely HATED him to leave after DITM for that very reason. If the public don't have the good taste to go for him tonight, so be it. It won't be his fault 'cos he'll have done all he can.

I have a new song obsession for Leon . At some stage he should sing Labour Of Love by Hue And Cry. Now that is what I call a real uptempo song.

The only thing I worry about is it is very fast in tempo, easy to muddle the words if you aren't that familiar with it, that's why I prefer 'looking for linda'...

Hi everyone, I'm beginning to get nervous now! Have asked people to vote for Leon on my MySpace. If he goes tonight, then I'll lose interest in the X Factor this time round (but NOT in Leon). So far, all my faves have made the final (Steve, Shayne, Ray). I have my fingers crossed for Leon! x
