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.

He lost a lot of that after the tour when he was an ignorant little sh1t with his so called fans.

That may have been because she's exceptionally talented and he isn't.

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

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.

I really liked him in the competition but i dont think he'll amount to much. In general they never really do

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 think what Markus means is that Leon is **** and the only reason he won was because of the Scottish vote.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If he has no faith in Leon then what is this:
