I Don't Believe It!!!

How the hell did Leon win??

He was consistently bad from the start. He should never had made the final 
He's an average singer with no charisma and little personality.
The 2 versions he and the Riddler performed off the same song you couldn't even compare them  

I turned the tv off in disgust the moment Leons name was announced.

My prediction is he'll be forgotten this time next year...

I'm convinced Leon only won because the entire population of Scotland voted for him. Nothing to do with singing ability or talent but based on nationality.
Bit like Eurovision really.

Rhydian can now go one to much BETTER things like westend/ broadway and other great place, he can much more the pop songs!

Oh no - I've just b*lloxed up the poll on this.

I didn't watch X Factor and I thought voting "Same Difference" was the same as voting "Who cares?" - didn't realise they were contestants!

So please ignore the one vote for them!!

I think what the others are trying to say Ally is that Scots tend to have more "national pride" than us and vote Scottish - whereas I'd happily vote for a Scottish contestant over an English one, there is a certain section of the Scottish population who won't and make it an issue of Scotland beating England - I'm sure you must know some people like that (my best friend and her entire family, for starters!)

"What football team are you supporting now Scotland are out of the World Cup?"
"Whoever's playing England"

You know, the same people that made miserable Jason come second in Big Brother 5!  And kept Kenny in Strictly Come Dancing....

I know... I were just teasing you!  

I had trouble getting through to vote on Strictly on Saturday night - I did just keep trying.  I think they always underestimate how many people will want to vote (or how many times!!)

Yes, I know I'm sad 

Strictly Dancing seems to be the more popular on here, although I must confess i've never watched it.

The best bit about x -factor are the really bad auditions! 
I find the later stages irritating and after the outrage of a result this year with dull, karaoke king Leon winning I doubt i'll watch next years. (although I say that everytime)

I used to enjoy this bit the most too.  I stopped watching when I found out that in order to be auditioned by Simon, Sharon, Louis and Danni, you actually have to get through a first round of auditions with another (not famous) panel.

In other words, they deliberately put the really bad people through in order to laugh at them on national television. 

I know some of these people really are deluded and may deserve a bit of gentle mocking, but I don't like this nastiness or the "fixed" aspect of this.  It's particularly cruel when they are put through this first round, only to be rejected for their appearance in the second round - and have it shown on TV.  Remember that poor Welsh girl a couple of series ago, who entered as a duo with her friend and couldn't really sing very well, but was told by Simon Cowell that she looked like Vikki Pollard?  That was just mean - she should have been rejected straight away, not given false hope just to be laughed at.
