IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO AVOID THE XFACTOR RESULTS &SAW MY THREAD

[merrylissiemas]

Im sorry. I didnt think before posting it, and i have asked mnhq to delete it

It will though won't it? Somebody out there is buying crap pop. Gibberish, where's your dd?

diva I don't think I will EVER recover

Ok am Scottish born and bred.

But I CHOSE to live in Wales for 4 whole years so Rhydian is my PASSION.

Expat, I think Rhydian made a better job of that song without Katherine Jenkins though. He is fantastic, I don't honestly think this kind of competition is right for him. I read that he got knocked back from the 'Joseph' show - I bet Andrew Lloyd Webber is kicking himself now.

I agree Leon is not the singer Rhydian is, but congratulations to him anyway. I believe he will get better when his confidence grows a bit - he does have a good voice imo. Look at Leona last year, no personality until she opened her mouth to sing. I didn't personally like her voice, but she was the deserving winner.

dd has made a mad dash for bed.

Very, very wise. Since I am near to the kitchen where the meat cleaver is.....

come home gibberish (ok, im shropshire, not wales-but its pretty close)

Hey I lived in Shropshire too

really?
where? im telford!

LOL, gibberish.

agree that rhydian didnt need katherine jenkins. Her voice is 'orrible. Warbling bloody woman.

but at least leona could sing. what can leon sing? swing, big band and... that's about it.

IMO this single won't go to number 1.

and leon will disappear back into obscurity.

the fact that Rhydian didn't get into joseph doesn't necessarily mean anything, as sometimes even the good singers are knocked back by the producers to allow some of the crap ones to audition for the judges. not everyone that auditions actually auditions in front of the judges - there are actually two auditions, one for the producers, and if you're lucky you get to go in front of the judges, so it's entirely possible he never even saw sir Andrew.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That's where I escaped from lived too!

As someone else said Rhydian will do brilliantly out of xfactor anyway so I am glad Leon won.

pmsl where in telford?

I agree, Scotia. Rhydian's future lies in other arenas.

He has the talent, the background as a trained musician who can actually read music and the passion.

To have held his own alongside a soprano like Jenkins at his age, however, says much.

dd1 has just shouted down stairs in patronising voice 'Love you Mum' to which I replied 'At this moment I don't love you' to which she replied 'LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU LEON'

I may be committing murder this evening. Not manslaughter. Murder, pure and simple.

Aw, his tenor just brings tears to my eyes!

What a treat!

One of the crappy estates. Which was actually ok when we lived there, but took a peek recently and it looks like Iraq on a bad day now!

Our friends live in Wellington.

its beautiful expat. i loved him at auditions and he's grown so much over the live shows

im in wellington. formerly of brookside, and hollinswood. dh grew up on randlay

We had only three tenors in our department, they're that few and far between. Really, really gifted tenors.

Oh, how they would sing!

My former boss, still a dear friend, is a modest soprano - yes, there is such a thing! - and they would coax her into singing with them.

The sounds from her room!

lol you were prob our neighbours!

Wellington is lovely though. What I did like about Telford was that you were never that far from the countryside.

Whatever happened to Steve? (I can't even remember his surname) Then first winner?

I predict the same career trajectory for Leon

Steve's probably on some noravirus-infested cruise ship where he belongs.

steve brookstein! I've seen him selling the big issue

Leona is so devoid of personality she will disappear from sight soon no doubt.

Isn't it strange that Leon has such a similar name? And a similar musical outcome no doubt?
