I don't mind Rhydian as he had real talent and deserved to be in the final.
I hated Leon, but Niki was **** with a capital S. Have you listened to her 'one moment in time'
Which version? The one she sang before the results or the one she sang when she got voted out?

The first version is a bit wobbly, and she was playing safe and not hitting high notes. But have a look at the second time round after the results, it's fantastic . . .

That was awful, like seriously. Have you heard the original?

Her voice is WAY to small for songs like that
Yes I have heard the original, but the whole idea is to find a new singer not one who is a copycat of another.

So. who was your favourite of XF4? I'd love to know

I'm not saying she should have tried to sound like the original, but she just doesn't have a strong enough voice for those songs; even the Kelly Clarkson one she done was awful

My favorite was Rhydian, but that series was a flop.

Poor guy. I didn't really rate him, I can't believe he even got to the final, let alone win it, he should have finished 6th in my opinion. That whole series was a bit messed up; Hope were my runaway favourites of that series, but in all honesty they didn't deserve to finish 5th. On the other hand, I don't think Same Difference and Leon deserved to finish ahead of them. The final should have been Rhydian, Niki and Beverley, they were all fantastic singers.

I'm not suprised he was dropped, along with Steve Brookestein he is the worst winner of X Factor ever

Unhappy
With his third single 'Creative' reached a lowly position of 94 in the charts and Jackson was dropped by Sony BMG.

The Michael Buble-soundalike is now reported to have moved in a new direction and working with writers who have collaborated with Paolo Nutini and James Morrison. As yet though, there is no news in regards to Jackson releasing any new material.

I found out this interesting X Factor Betting Blog featuring the previous winners who faded into obscurity...
