The David A v Leon version on youtube and the nasty comments made. As far as I am concerned there is no comparison, but David A is very popular on IO and don't want to give his large group of fans the oppportunity to have a pop at Leon on there as well.

I can send it if everyone feels I should.

Oh ok i get you sorry i forgot about that whichever i guess if he likes it he will play it if not he won't.

[quote=elizacat;22871263]I'm sorry you have lost me where did he say last year was a comedown.
He has also said previously that appart from Leona [b]XF 4 in general was much more talented across the board than XF3[/B[quote]

I meant this bit.

'Simon laughs and says: “You have no idea how bad it was. It’s happened before. You have an absolutely cracking year and the following one is a bit of a comedown.” '

I didn't know he had said that. Maybe I was reading too much into it then. I can get hold of the wrong end of the stick on occasion.

Sorry YL i completely missed that comment in the article although i think he was speciifically referring to Leona who will all know Simon adores (not saying that she isn't talented).

Boy it's quiet in here tonight

I've just arrived. I read in 'The Sun' today that Simon thinks Leon's album is so far very, very good!

Saw that Marta, I can't wait, so looking forward to it

Can you remember when Leona's album was released? I'm presuming Leon's will be at the same time.

12th November...........single released 2 weeks before.

It was as late as that. Some of Rhydian's fans have been saying that his album is going to be released in October. Hopefully, they will not be released at the same time!

Well they are hardly in the same genre Marta, so it wouldn't matter much to me.

I doubt Syco will do that, as press and promo campaigns would clash.

Hi Marta

It was released on 12 November, and I think it was after her XF appearance.

I expect they will do the same with Leon's album. Probably they will release a single (from the album) prior to his appearance on XF then release the album afterwards, like they did with Leona.

3 things to look forward to.

I must learn to type faster. LOL

That's good to hear! I was just imagining the worst - if Rhydian got a higher chart entry than Leon in the same week and the 'I told you so's' that would follow on here!

I'm off over to the main site. Chat to you soon, Maeve.

Leona appeared on the first xf live show and that was also the world premiere of Bleeding Love - expect the same for Leon.
The album was a few weeks later.

If Rhydian is released in October he will have Il divo to contend with as they are rumoured to release a new album on 14th October and i would say would be more competition for Rhydian as its the same genre.
Any speculation about releasing Leon and Rhyd at the same time is purely that speculation - and probably wishful thinking by some fans as they think it will prove once and for all who the real winner is which unlike some we already know as we voted for him.

Thanks elizacat. It must have been getting some airplay somewhere, as I was already quite familiar with it when she appeared on XF.

No, I don't think you should, YL. It's not worth the hassle. I've seen some of the comments on You Tube too.

Yeah. personally I agree.

Good afternoon Leonardos
