I'll probably forget him within the next week. xDD
I reckon he'll last a short while though.

2-5 years, like Shayne. I somehow don't think there will ever be a Steve Brookstein-like career stemming from the X Factor again.

I doubt he'll last two years. He doesn't have the talent.

Who knows. I say a year, but he could be around for many years. He could just be big in Scotland. No where else.

As much as Leon is talented, people will get bored with him, especially the little teenagers who voted for him. It happens at all the time with that kind of winner. So I voted a year.

I do like Leon, but he still needs to develop and progress more: I can't see him giving it all up, or bursting out with all he has to offer within just the first year. He might appear in breaks, changing his style as he goes along - I would imagine that's what he'd prefer, and what his management would think most sensible. It is quite hard to say though: I'd hope he'd want to do what is best for his career, so I wish him luck.

I think Leon should take some time after the XF tour and really concentrate on his music before releasing an album. Don't rush it. However, I hope he doesn't do a Leona either and spend almost a year creating this album that she could have done in a week, the most boring album I have heard in ages.

The thing is, if he takes time out, no-one will care when he does release it. Leonacould take so long out, as she was a really rare find in the UK, and was expetionally talented, if he takes time out, he;ll just flop He might asl strike while the irons hot

I don't see him lasting much longer than Ray Quinn. So about less than a year, maybe a maximum of one full year. And that prediction is not even considering the fact that he is getting bashed by the media right now, but I really hope this fix rubbish doesn't affect his career.

Billy raises and interesting point, if Leon takes time out, no-one will care when he comes back and he will flop. Leona's return was anticipated, but Leon's nowhere near good enough to pull that sort of thing off.
