I believe the only reason why Leon won the X Factor is because of the Scottish vote together with the help of Kylie. He surely didn't win because of his voice which was out of tune throughout most of the competition prompting Simon Cowell to say he was just a karaoke singer. On talent alone, Rhydian should have been the clear winner. I really feel sorry for Leon because he has been built up to think he is a very good singer and I think he is going to come down to earth with a terrible bump. Unfortunately the lowest rating was 1 star otherwise I would have given no stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Money wasted - Worst X Factor Winner Ever!, 21 Dec 2007

By	T. E - See all my reviews

This studio version sounds only slightly better than his live show, but still bland, flat, boring, but not so out-of-tune this time.

Compared with Leona's single last year, this is just a piece of plastic, which I probably have to give away or bin very soon. Waste.

How on earth could this Leon guy be a winner of a national contest? This voice and singing ability to represent UK?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, 17 Dec 2007

By	Wee haggis (Scotland) - See all my reviews

Just have to say how great this is! Loved Leon since his 1st audition.
Also - this is not the place to rant and rave about who you thought should or shouldn't have won X Factor. Please only leave a comment if you have a genuine opinion about the song. At the end of the day, the public voted and the result has been announced. Sorry if you're not happy but tough. Give Leon a chance to prove himself.
