He is quite sweet i suppose and that is a good song and he sings it well. I hope he does do well as he does deserve it.

I like the fact he is singing in his own accent, not trying to be anyone else...love the scottish accent (well certain kind)....:love:

But HATE the song, it isnt very good....but you know it will end up getting to No. 1!

Have I mentioned I think Rhydian should have won X factor? :p At least he can count his lucky stars that he didnt have to release this tripe! :lol:

It's such a bland and boring song in my opinion - I hope it doesn't make Number 1.

It's awful, possibly one of the worst songs released this year.

Leon's a good singer but he never seems to go out of one volume in this song..it's a bit monotone. I was waiting for the Big drums and loud music. Don't really like the song :p (and Rhydian should've won :p :D )

X Factor winner Leon Jackson is almost certain to take the Christmas number one title this weekend, despite errors counting his sales.

The Scot's version of 'When You Believe' is absent from the first version of the midweek sales chart, which instead lists the Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua charity duet 'What A Wonderful World' as the number one.

A spokesperson for the Official Charts Company cited "data reporting issues" as the reason for Jackson's omission but confirmed that his sales were "comfortably ahead" of Cassidy & Melua's.

The track was due to be made available for download through iTunes at midnight on Sunday but excessive demand crashed Apple's servers. The song was not available for download until late Sunday afternoon.

The midweeks also suggest that last year's X Factor winner Leona Lewis will drop one place to third with 'Bleeding Love', followed by Mariah Carey at four with 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.

I know what you mean. I dont think he is monotone all the time, but pretty much

All right how many of you went out and bought the CD today, come on own up :D

I haven't heard the song since Saturday night, but I was disapointed that Rhydian didn't win, both singers didn't really put any ooomph into the song Leon hit a high note like shayne ward and I think that's what swung it for him. Rhydian should have went for the classic theme and really belted it out instead of toning it down. It probably will be no1.

I dont agree with them having one song to release cos they are all indiviuals with different styles and things so they should of has different songs

I'll give him his dues, I've been singing this song. It's a nifty little song, don't think it's becuase of him though.

But don't get me wrong still dislike him as an artist and never thought that he should have won the contest.
