I think his first single and album will both get to number 1 but they wont be big sellers
He will do ok in this country but he wont make it big in other countrys and after a few years will just fade off.
Doubt it but maybe he will do a Leona, go away for a bit and come back big.

I don't think he will be as big as Leona. Who knows though? They did a great job with her.

Not with the size of his legs, no.
But with Leona, you could tell there was something special with her. Her talent was too rare to throw away. I don't know about Leon, though. If he takes a jazzy route, he might do well, but I dunno. It's hard to tell. I have doubts, but hopes, too. I guess we will have to wait and see. =/

Leon is like a piece of fluff. Everywhere and nothing special about it.

Who? Oh right him....
No, he won't be big and I hope not, not a very deserving winner.
I think his first single will do well and probably the album too, after that maybe a few average selling singles.

It hard one to call.
When I think back to the x-factor I still remember the frightened rabbit look in his eyes from early on in the show. It something that still makes me wonder about wether or not he has the x-factor. Okay he was better in the final and with Kylie he was outstanding, but that not hard to do when your up against an opera singer that is stuck with years of training in classical what is a pop music contest.
It's clear that he has talent but dose he really believe in that talent himself? If he does then he can go far but if he doubts it for one second then he can wave his career down the toilet pan of life. Seeing that frightened rabbit look on a video or on stage would consign him to the cruise ship of has beens.

i didnt want him to win! so no i think he will flop!
I think he'll be a guest on the new series of X Factor. He'll get a number one but not as big as Bleeding Love, he'll get a few top 10 singles throughout 2009 and possibly 2010, then he will be thrown onto the reality TV scrapheap.

I think the first album will be reasonably successful but he'll never be able to follow it up.

08-07-2008, 02:43 PM
I never liked him and I didn't think he was a deserving winner. He hasn't really got any unique talent that makes him stand out, so I don't think he's going to do well at all.

08-07-2008, 02:50 PM
I really liked him in the competition but i dont think he'll amount to much. In general they never really do
Arneldo
08-07-2008, 02:55 PM
He won't be as big as Leona, but hopefully he will be able to match the success of Shayne. He still has a big dedicated fanbase. Only time will tell...
Simon believed in Leona, I dont get the feeling he does with Leon. We'll just have to wait and see.

Thats a bit of a massive assumption and quite insulting that you would assume that only scottish people would support a scottish person. I know many english fans that like Leon on other forums and many scottish people that dont.
Leona is english. Right? Does that mean only English people like her?. No. Because i like her and i am Scottish.
I am not trying to argue, It just annoys me, when people stereotype things just because of nationality and automatically assume that Scottish people are scottish celebrities only fans.
Its not like i am wanting Michael from BB9 to win, Just because he is scottish.

I cant see Leon getting big at all... nothing great about him. Tbh anyone good from the last series got kicked off early. The final was so boring, i didnt care who won.

I know what he said. The "Scottish Vote" Stop Assuming that Scottish people only vote for Scottish Contenders.
Theres no such thing as the Scottish vote. Likewise theres no such thing as the gay vote either. If that was the case then any Scottish contestant would win every reality show. They sometimes hint at a Welsh vote too, which in turn suggests an English vote. Things really don't add up. I'm up for believing that people from Scotland are more inclined to vote for someone from Scotland, just as someone is more likely to vote for someone from their city. It doesn't mean they will though.

I hope he's big.
I'm a huge fan of Shayne, he's my fave X-Factor winner and I think he deserves more fame because he's extremely talented.
Couldn't care less about Leona.
I'd like Leon to be huge but as Arneldo said, I don't think Simon believes in him as much as Leona. He'll probably have a huge number #1, and a big selling album, not sure about after that.
I don't think he will have much global success but might have a few top 10s in the UK. He won't be as big as Leona.

Leon sucks, face it. He shouldn't have won, we all know that, he was possibly the most abismal winner of a music reality show, with exception to Steve whatever his name was and One True Voice. By the time the nex x-factor winner is announced Leon will be old news and forgotten about.

Xander
16-08-2008, 03:59 PM
Nah, hope so anyway.
He didn't deserve to win although his voice appealed to a wider audience than Rhydian. Rhydian is far more talented than Leon and his voice is soo much better. Leon doesn't deserve to be big.
Arneldo
16-08-2008, 04:37 PM
Simon has no faith in Leon. Leona is his money-maker. He doesn't care about Leon and putting little effort into even attempting to make him a star. Leon has been given the worst of Simon's people to look after him. Simon appears to putting more effort into SD then his is with Leon, which is unfair. Leon is the publics choice and the ultimate winner. I think Simon wants Leon to flop so in a way it makes Leona look better.
Emzy-!!
16-08-2008, 04:42 PM
I think he will do o.k, but it will be quite hard for him as everyone may compare him to Leona Lewis, but of course he will never be as big as her. But he will do o.k.
Spike
16-08-2008, 04:43 PM
I think Same Difference and Rhydian will end up being much bigger than him

This is the first we've heard of him though, while Simon was doing all sorts to get Leona's name in the papers. Leon has said on his blog that he has only seen Simon a few times since he won the show.

Yeah that's because Simon was Leonas mentor though, so obviously he cares more about what Leona is doing and getting her name in the papers. Also, the fact that he was probably shocked he found someone as talented as Leona.

I did not mean he ONLY has Scottish fans. I said the main reason he won was from The Scottish vote. It's true. The press built it up as Wales vs Scotland. I remember at the time of him winning, there was many people on here who thought the same.

You do realise that the winners are signed up to Sony BMG, the company Simon works for, and they go under Simon's control? Dannii probably has no control over him. Simon doesn't care about who he mentored, he just cares about whether the winner is a cash cow or not.

He was her mentor on the show, but he is in charge and after the show its up to him to look after every winner of the show. His act or not. In series 2, Louis chose and asked to be Shayne's manager. Dannii isn't a professional manager, so she wouldn't know how to look after Leon. Weather Leon is as talented as Leona is irrelevant, Simon should be putting the same effort into Leon as he did with Leona. In fact, maybe more seeing as Leon isnt not as known or as popular as Leona.

Leona and Leon aren't the only acts signed to Simon's label. He can't give a full input to all, which is why there others working for him. Leona is probably their biggest selling artist/most popular - so if she is given treatment then it's only fair. She needs to keep up her image and release in new countries. And this time last year, we had NO news on Leona. Not even single news. Leon is getting the same coverage Leona did last year before her single was released.

Yes I do know, but Leon has said himself in newspapers that Dannii has been helping him in the studio.
Of course Simon cares, he may not come across it, but he grows close to his acts and wants the best for them, hence the reason he cares more about Leona than Leon

I'm sure if Leon was his act and Leona was Dannii's he would still feel the same. Leona is clearly more profitable and marketable than Leon is. We'll see if Leon gets a number one in America.

Why? He isn't the only act on the label is he? They hvae to put more work into Leona as for as long as they do, she's guaranteed big singles etc
