Answer 1

Favorite Answer

He was cheated out of it. The vote was rigged. Nobody could get through to Rhydian's voting line!

Leon simply can't sing. He's as flat as a pancake and as dull as ditchwater! No charisma. He's only been singing for a year.

It was rigged and I'm really angry that I spent all that time and money voting when it was a foregone conclusion. Simon said that there would be an upset that night and he accidently called Rhydian "Leon" after his last song. Freudian slip? I don't think so!

I hate itv and I will NEVER follow this show again.

Answer 2

Although I didn't particularly like Rhydians style of singing, he was definitely far more talented than Leon. Leon was ok, but I don't know how he got through to the finals, much less win the competition. I think the voting was more Scotland V Wales rather than based on who had the actual talent.

Answer 3

I think that the majority of people who vote in X Factor are likely to be of a younger generation who prefer someone like Leon and his singing, to Rhydian. So consequently, Leon was likely to get more of the votes.

I think Rhydian would appeal more to a different viewer. He is clearly talented and will no doubt be very successful in classical music or musicals such as Phantom.

Answer 4

He might be favourite to win but thats not sayin much considerin the dross on offer this time. Don't believe all the hype - Rhydian is an average singer with zero personality. If he wins, lets see how he does in the real world... absolutely nothing, probably.

Answer 5

It was an injustice, Leon is average wheras Rhydian has world class and talent.

Answer 6

Yes I believe so, I find him to be outstanding and of rare quality. I hope he is snapped up and does far better than Leon, Then maybe the idea of it been 'fixed' will be revealed as true...

Answer 7

Leon got more votes. End of.

Answer 8

No. Get over it. Leon won fair and square!

Answer 9

Yes to first part, Rhyd was cheated.

No, Leon should not have won.

Answer 10

Rhyd is a million times better than Leon.
