watching X-factor 2008 I just feel enraged that Rhydian didn't win last year

Can't wait for Rhydian's album

Rachel was very positive and gracious about it though - Scott just let it crush him. It didn't endear him to me.

I like both Leon and Rhydian. I like their voices and think they're both good in their own way. I would like to listen to both albums but would most likely buy Rhydian's.

I couldnt agree more about Leon! Almost a year on and I still ask why, why, why, why, why did he win!!!
I thought he looked very nervous and ill last night. if he had been a contestant on this years show surely he would've been voted off last night and the judges would've destroyed him!!!

It doesn't make any sense that leon won. He looks like a drug addict and had to have about 50 other people on the stage with him to compensate for his weak vocals. I don't understand how he is fanciable. He looks so unhealthy with that sallow skin and black undereyes. He was always going on about his mother last year but he didn't look like he had ever had a decent meal.

Is it me or does 'Our Wayne' on the Peter Kay show look rather like Leon/Scott/interchangeable skinny young men??

Which red headed girl was dropped? You've congused me now

Never have I disagreed with an OP more!

Rhydian...blurgh!

I love Leon, but am disapointed with the new song.....

leon has so little personality and charisma, combined with a weak voice. He's even worse now, if that's possible. I think he is the strangest choice of a winner in any reality tv show ever, even beating michelle mcmanus. Rhydian was weird but had a great voice. It pains me to say that the number one when DS was born was leon jackson - he's going to be very dissappointed one day when he looks up leon jackson and listens to the song.

Any one who is born around Christmas has a rubbish song at number one the week they were born.

I have a dreadful feeling "Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo" was at no 1 when DS1 was born!)

I shall have Leon and Leona Lewis sing at my next wedding.

Please do. But don't return Leon. Keep him please, preferably in a sound proof basement.

Oooh, I could keep him to do little erands for me aswell, and then get him to sing on demand.

Obviously I will pay him well, as next time I will marry for money.

Admittedly "enraged" was possibly a little bit de trop

"what has Leon been doing for a year"

Well, not taking singing lessons that's for sure . I think he was probably nervous and jumpy last night because he knew he'd just been out-classed by a fair few of this year's contestants. Coming second was probably a blessing in disguise for Rhyd - I'm sure he'll come back spendidly when he's good and ready.

Leon was just embarrassing I thought. I remember when Leona went back to X factor to do her debut single and just blew everyone away. The gulf between the two is just so wide

did you see how many extra people they had on the set when he sang his song?

20 violinists
1 drummer
1 keyboardist
1 bassist
4 backing vocalists
4 brass players

=31 people!!! they had to put as many people on the stage as possible to make up for leon's lack of talent.

pure genius
