I was thinking that, surely if Ray was given a song thats suits his voice he wouldn't stood a chance, even though the odds are stacked against him.

I can't help but think of the old stereotype when i hear Ray talk... i instantly think 'put that tv down and get out of my house'...

I'm naughty.

Leona's song was INCREDIBLE. And as someone said it was orginally written for males.

I'm not impressed at all...... Why couldnt leona spice it up and do something other than a ballad...... the song which will be released is suited to leona and not Ray...... me thinks that it was set that way and thats not fair on Ray.

Yes how do you know that? Even if it was, its still in Leonas favour as shes always singing ballads and this song is a ballad. Its not Ray's type of music at all, so of course Leona has an advantage.

Leona can suit her voice to different songs.

Obviously, Ray can't. That says a LOT about his level of talent.

^ They both can, but Leona's 'specialty' is ballads, so she has the advantage.

Ray's best performance is the B-side of the single.

Not really, after watching tonights show her only strongpoint is extending words! She only has one sytle of music she's good at, just like ray is good at his favoured style. Sorry, genre*

I suppose it's a matter of personal preference... i don't like them both but i can see why people think Ray's getting a raw deal.

Her vocal style is extending notes, thats not her specialty. Obviously, she prefers ballads - but she can pull off other styles, e.g. Lady Marmalade.

Exactly, and she hasn't been choosing the songs. I could garuntee you if she was to have picked ALL her songs, not all would have been ballads. Simon's been picking her songs, and he's only picked them because they're her strongest point. And if she does good, she'll stay.

Leona is the winner of X Factor no matter what, but to be completely sure she would win officially. Its so not fair if she doesnt.
I've never wanted anyone to win a reality show more, not even Chantelle.
This is the most deserving winner ever. I think even Ray knows that!
I've voted twice!!

Leona fans, DONT STOP NOW!
