I am a huge Buble fan and I love Leon to bits.; I actually think Leon sings this and other songs that Buble has sang better than him. He has such emotion in his voice. I love his album, the best album I've bought in YearsXX
his voice is so cristal clear, so beautiful, listening to him singing my heart races...I can't help but wonder how it would feel to have him singing in my ear, in a whisper...I don't think he would get to finish the song :P
Leon you are brilliant!!! And sadly, so underrated it is criminal - your voice is the bees' knees, LOVE your album and hope you will have another one or more!!!
fuck the yanks? Michael Buble is canadian...next time you decide to be an ignorant idiot at least use real facts or you end up looking like an ignorant idiot.
Canadians are just yanks who like the cold and French people. Next time you try to make a distinction between snow yanks and sand yanks don't bother, you pretentious, jumped up little shit.
Wow...he managed to sing a song that is full of emotion and power with absolutely no soul, conviction or energy. Sounds like Pat Boone trying to sing the blues.
@theawakener7 Comments like this make me smile. I hate how everyone's all "Buble is better than Leon" like hell is he, the only good thing about Michael Buble is that we got Leon Jackson because of him. Apart from that Buble is shit. He can't sing, well he can, but he's boring. He bored the life out of me when he came on X Factor. Leon has everything and Buble has nothing!
Leon will come back (I think this year??) and show everyone what a true star he is.
I for one think he has a fab voice and has recorded some awesome tracks but If your albums don't sell you are dropped like a hot potato. Can't understand how the british public fell out of love with him in such a short time. I wish him all the best for the future.
We still love him very much, his second single got to around number 3 and his album number 4 but that wasn't good enough for COWell. Leon's gone independant anyway and said being dropped was like a blessing in disguise.
In Spain, in Portugal etc.... Nobody knows leon jackson because he didn't have a promotion like he desearves (its a long story). But he has a fantastic album called "Right now" and it can be bougth from amazon (like I did)
I've posted some comentaries on Portugal Sony Bmg about this, because I can't understand why "Right Now " hasn't been sold out of UK. Misteries....Anyway , the song "Don't give up" was a bonus track of "don't call this love" single. All the other songs are his Xfactor performances . Leon also sings a version of Paolo Nuttini's "Rewind", you can watch it here on you tube.
is true, some songs of right now are versions of other singers... I'm not sure but, Could Do Better, Right Now, Creative and Don't Call This Love, I think that has been written for him...
anyway, right now is a great album, the guy has done very well the versions
I hope that you and I we are not the only ones who listen to the music of Leon in Spain and Portugal or any other country outside United Kingdom
I have no doubt about that. If you look to the comments you'll find that there are people from everywhwere, but we haven't the power of the Cowells and Walshs guys so we must keep on making the promotion as we can. Fingerprints , Stargazing , Ordinary Days and All in good times are also originals for Leon Jackson (I think).
I'm off to see Leon live next week and soo can't wait, the only downside with his career is he no longer has a record label, which really sucks...but hopefully he'll either go independant or get signed again.
Please, please all you people that voted for Leon to win X factor, go out and buy his album. If you liked him enough to win the X Factor then you'll love his album. Every song on it is brilliant!
Leon sings this beautifully with lots of emotion, i'm sure he's thinking of me(i wish).
Just to remind everyone of International Stargazing Day on 14th Feb 2009. Please join his fans and download Leon's song Stargazing from i-tunes or hmv on this day. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love Leon singing this song...I have always loved Karen Carpenter's voice and Leon, I don't know if you'll ever read this but you certainly do this song justice. Your whole album is amazing
actually im not wrong i was replying to somebody elses comment where they asked where eliot yaman came fom and he is from american idol. so pleeease read up b4 talking to me
Leon's version s much more richer in tone and raw. listen/play to leon and elliot yamin version at the same time. Leon voice s so distinctive. im listening again.
luv this guy. beautiful and smooth voice. buy his album to help boost his album sales. hope he will have a bright future. i just buy the album coz i'm buble fan but i must say that the album s brilliant.
I've just checked out Buble's version. Leon's version is so different, so much better - spectacular ! Its definitely my favourite on the Right Now album. This boy is going to go so far
i love this guy so much, since me and my dad seen him audition for the x-factor we always said he was going to win and in my opinion he is the best singer to come off that show since it started. he is going to be big in the future!!!
when I hear him sing this type of song I get a lump in my throat just like I did when I heard him sing YOU DON'T KNOW ME the very first time on XFactor
I love this song...this is a cover song, and michael buble and others have sang it...i must say leon's version is much better. He's made it his own, lots of emotion, and wonderful tone in his voice as well!
i remember not wanting him to win the X factor at all! but...when i heard his album he has really developed a beautiful mellow tone in his voice. I really like his voice.. so soothing.
One of my all time favourite songs from the Carpenters - but Leon Jackson absolutely showcases his tremendous voice - thank god for talent shows when it finds something as special as this
This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. I love it love it love it !!!!!
