LEON JACKSON - X-FACTOR CHAMPION.
For once, the bookies have got it wrong. Scottish pop singer Leon Jackson has beaten the brother/sister duo, ‘Same Difference’ and firm favourite ‘Rhydian Roberts’ to take this year’s X-Factor title. 18 year old Leon claims that he only started singing this year. He has now secured a million pound record deal, and has become the instant favourite to claim the Christmas Number One spot.
Leon Jackson was mentored by Dannii Minogue, and during the final he got to sing a duet with Dannii’s sister, Kylie.
Last year’s winner, Leona Lewis, is currently enjoying phenomenal success with her debut album. Will Leon Jackson be in a similar position this time next year, or will he be just another forgotten hero?

In my opinion, Leon will have 12 months of press and success, but then, we will hear no more about him, he’s too unforgettable, boring and weak, his emotions will always be his undoing where the press is concerned, the first deluge of criticism and he’ll go running for cover in a hail of tears. He’s just another product of the pop industries, and the moguls who are trying to mould him into a British copy of Michael Buble to feather their own careers, but that’s all Leon is, a pale copy that doesn’t have the experience or star quality that Buble has earned, Michael Buble is the genuine article. He just doesn’t possess the charisma, talent, or star potential that Rhydian Roberts possesses, in bundles; it is also my opinion that Leon needed to win this competition, but only by having the awe factor, where Rhydian for me, and countless others, had the true X-factor. Rhydian only needed to make it to the final, because now, the world of entertainment is aware of his talent and potential. So all can say to Leon, is lap it up, cause 12 months will just fly by, and Leon will be looking for alternative employment. With regard to Rhydians career, I look forward to hearing his debut album, and seeing him perform in shows, I for one, would pay to see him on stage.

I agree entirely with your comments. RHYDIAN is fantastic he has that special something that very few good or great singers have and that is charisma and he is a performer.
Every performance week by week has been strong and he has performed as if he had been doing it all his life.
The X factor means just that X means different something extra and RHYDIAN was the only contestant to have that this year.
