That article is load of rubbish, and my guess is that it's from a bitter fan who didn't even bother to vote. People cannot sit back and complain about the result if they didn't even bother to vote for their favourite. Leon has many fans, and not just girls and gay guys, I think people who say this are very narrow minded. He has a great talent, and he won fair and square. Big international artists such as Celine Dion and Michael Buble have shown there support towards him. He may not have the 5 years classical training that Rhydian has but that doesn't mean he can't have a big and successful career. Shayne was the best of his series, Leona of hers and the public decided that Leon was the best of his series. I think he has a great, distinctive voice, and very different from previous X Factor winners. He may not have great charisma, but did Leona? He is only 19 and winning this show, I think, will do him much better then if Rhydian had won. Leon can now learn and grow - People forget this guy only started singing in February.
