X Factor 2007 - General Discussion

A shock that Leon won! Just got back for the result show and I really thought Rhydian would win. Congratulations to Leon anyway. I'm sure it's not the last we will hear from Rhydian though - a talented man who deserved to win in the first place in my opinion.

Where did Leon come from!! To be fair, his version of the single was the better, so if you just judge that, he deserved it. I think Rhydian belongs on the stage. Not in Phantom or Les Mis, maybe something like Blood Brothers? He'll have a good career, i think, just probably not in the pop world. He's still fab though.

I think Leon will be very similar to Shayne Ward, though. I think he'll have some big hits, but generally get overshadowed by Leona.

a very big congrats to leon you did us fellow scots proud. ill be supporting him and buying his single,

totally shocked when it was announced leon had won i thought it was a dead cert that rhyd had won, so glad he didnt (hate that guy)

[Rain_]

Well that was a shock...the only bigger one would have been if Same Difference won.

I think Leon will go the same way as that Steve guy who won a few years ago....one single then no one ever heard from him again. I really don't think he has the staying power that Rhydian has. Although i do agree with a lot of the comments about "The Riddler" being better suited to theatre rather than the pop world. He'll do well whatever he does though I think.

Absolutely I would have bet my wages on Rhydian winning it, then in the last 5 minutes I began to think maybe Leon might just grab it. Rhydian will be more successful I feel, Leon's a nice guy with a good voice but he doesn't really stand out for me, he's just another Micheal Buble, Rhydian now he's something completely different, he has the X-factor. Im just relieved SD didn't win.

I agree with Johnny Allen and Rain about Rhydian having more about him and staying power than Leon. I think Leon needs to develop a personality pretty quickly, if he is going to make it.

I personally think Rhydian will be the big success story, and to be honest, in the long run he might have more creditability and gain more respect as a serious artist, by not winning the show!

Well done to Leon, I was very surprised but I am pleased for him. Rhydian will do well anyway, I am absolutley chuffed that SD got third, would have hated it if they had won.

I totally agree Leons version was better and Ive never really liked Rhydian cos I never thought he suited that environment, like you said he belongs on stage.
And yeah gotta agree again Leon will do good but be over shadowed
