X FACTOR winner Leon Jackson has performed at a concert in Dubai.

The teenager from Whitburn, West Lothian, told fans he was "stunned" by the setting in the city, part of the United Arab Emirates. Leon, 19, had never sung in public before last year, but applied for The X Factor after his karaoke performances convinced friends he could be a star. The former Gap sales assistant went on to become the first Scot to win the show, and on his website he told fans the trip to Dubai had been a great experience.

"I've been in Dubai for the Sony UK conference," he said. "It was amazing – the setting was beautiful, and the stage area where I performed was set up like a jazz bar. I've also been doing some songwriting and recording in Stockholm. Amazing."

Leon won a £1 million recording contract on the ITV show. His album is expected to be released later this year.”

Thanks for that nice to see.

yes, but project that thought to the future..he can only get better.

From what Andy said, vocal coaching was very limited on XF, Leon has so much scope to develop his voice and explore what it can do.

I was really surprised by that....so it seems much of his development through the show was down to Leon and Leon only...
