Rhydian wasn\'t as popular as we thought...

heatworld has discovered that Leon wasn't quite the underdog everyone thought he was: according to insiders on the show, every single week Leon received more votes than his Welsh rival. Our insider claims Rhydian was simply more popular with the media, which is why he received the lion's share of coverage in the papers. However, when it came to voters, the show had always been about boy-next-door Leon.

Exactly. I doubt Leon recived more votes then Rhydian "every" week. In fact, I wouldn't say he recived higher votes in any other week bar the final.

TBH i wouldent be suprised if this is true.he proved very popular with the myspace thing and guys like him will always get most of the female vote.

Billy 17-12-2007 09:34 PM

Nah I do think he could have got more than him alot, but I think SD would have bene higher than Rhyd at one pointtbh

leon has proven it by winning

XxShortyxX 18-12-2007 01:26 PM

I don't believe that, otherwise why in the final would Dermott say there is 1% between him and Rydian. And let's be honest, on the very first X Factor, Leon was rubbish, and Niki's-Nothing Comparse to you song would (IMO) made her have more votes then anyone (after that the bookies put her as fav to win the show) so who ever writes that rubbish, is a womble, and needs to get their facts right.

They only said he got more votes than Rhydian each week, not everyone.Niki could quite easily have got more than him on the first night but they've not said anything about that.

There could have been 1% between him and Rhydian on the final nights voting.Leon probably was 1% ahead of Rhydian.I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Leon didn't necessarily have more votes than Niki - just Rhydian. Remember that for the first couple of weeks, Rhydian was portrayed as being sinister and a bit creepy. That changed, but it could have easily meant Leon had a bigger fanbase than him from the very start.

lol, yeah I read it too quick.

GiRTh 18-12-2007 04:08 PM

I doubt if Leon got more votes every week. That means, earlier on when Leon was dire, he was getting more votes than Rhydian. I find that hard to believe.

But Rhydian was seen as a pantomime villain, you have to remember. And the YGF needs to be taken into account. (Young Girl Factor)

GiRTh 18-12-2007 04:21 PM

Not the young girl factor again. It seems that any male part time karaoke singer will do well on X-Factor if the young girls relate to him. That's so sad.
