I really love Leon. And he won! I know he loves his mom but she should be ashamed for not encouraging his dream! She did a great job raising him all alone but why was she not with him at his audition? He said he came by himself... I almost cried my eyes out! I wanted to just hug him so bad! Wlee congrats Leon! Beautiful work!!!
simon, shame he won it! that shoved your comments back up your talentless arse didnt it!!! ask yourself simon.. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU ACTUALY DO OTHER THAN FUN ARTISTS?
What a fucking idiot Dannii is - out of all songs to jazz up, she jazzes up one of the most famous Beatles songs and makes it sound like shit for Leon to sing; unbelievably aggravating mentor.
he does sing in the style of micheal Buble but with his accent he sounds better no offense to Micheal Buble as he one of my fav Canadian singers. Simon Cowell is a rude B#@$%^tard he lives to put down people,yet when somewone insults Simon Hell breaks loose if he can dish it out then he can take insults from other ppl.
Leon is a young person he will acheive higher Only to say Leon is just getting better..each day. now for a dip in the hot tub thats my comment oh i do beilive Leon was Good. but bad sing to pick plus all the dancer who is homeless
Leon is probably the only real raw talent that X Factor has ever found but he needed A LOT of work and investment after the show and unfortunately, X Factor is about making a quick buck and not a long term project. It's a shame for him, but his voice is great. He'll get better opportunities and presumably he's very young.
Leon is talented with an amazing voice but his nervousness makes him go off track..but that's with any performer.
Bobbydylanio, get a life..i' mean really. You sure spend alot of ur time posting negative comments of hate towards leon. No girls screaming for you in your lifetime? LOL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fuck me....... stunned.................... just shocked at how ABYSMAL this is............. the origional is one of the catchiest piecest of popular music ever. this is fucking dismal, i hope he's ashamed.
Simon speaks what goes thru my mind! leon dragged most of the song & towards the end is when it improved. he is too nervous that he destroys the songs & performance. He can hurt his career if he doesn't break thru this!
0:55 explains everything, sharon's face! i really like Leon but this performance was awful... he was more than nervous! and why is he wearin' those trainers?!?! i mean he's singing swing!
This was his first performance in front of an audience, the arrangement of the song was a disaster, but he has a wonderful voice, it was not his fault. For those who are repeating and repeating Leon´s been dropped and that he is bad, why don´t you go somewhere else to put your bad energy, if you don´t like him why do you spend so much time entering to his videos to leave bad posts (tdlqammd). HE IS GREAT, LEON IS
what a story this is so sad,how they drop him,i wondering does anybody know how his sons are doing,i read he's singing in bars again,they really did him wrong.
nah you see his voice is very good hes got a brilliant voice but hes so out of tune to the music and rushing all over the place probably out of nerves 1st week is always difficult.
small M.Bubble-he is not good in this song-he can not copy Bubble cs Bubble is one...we don't need more Bubble. Boy-Leo pls do something to ot sing like him.PLS!!!
people forget how much he improved on the show. This is the first live performance we heard from him so it's unfair to judge him based on this performance. He is so much better now.
Leon DID improve, sure. And I liked some of his performances on the show, however it doesn't change the fact that THIS performance is a huge candidate for the worst ever done on the show. It takes guts to win from something like that, no matter how much confidence you have and lack thereof.
Wow, been awhile since I read recent comments. I think people just like to stir up the Scots. I'm one, but moved to England, Canada and then the USA with my parents. I like XFactor better than American Idol, and Simon seems nicer but weirder with his comments this year, not as harsh, but those thin T-shirts gotta go, don't get this fashion statement. As far as Leon he was scared, young and brave, don't forget he was literally a teenager doing this, my teen couldn't even come close.
someone remind me why people are trying to bring Leon down when they haven't actually been on that stage theirselfs and had the nerves ect of singing infront of them judges..
& for all of you who say he can't sing.. HE WON THE FKN XFACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also, for the record label dropping him, hes been resigned to a diffrent label, one lucky enough to have him!!
you also don't know him so don't go judging... so shut yer trap & move on thank you!!!
I think this arrangement was too fast for any singer, even accomplished ones! First time on stage, and not comfortable with dancing, only 18 years old! Think about what you were capable of at 18. And yet his amazing voice still shines through. Was just way too fast and he had to remember dance steps and he's not a dancer.
static arrangement? what the fuck these people are literally clueless. that house band is so good it hurts - a REAL singer would have torn that to pieces
Totally agree with Simon he was really bad here, the song kinda suited him but it was a bit too much. I need to find that video of him singing build me up buttercup :P
The vocal was pretty good actually but the jazzy arrangement would put a lot of people off. Personally I didn't think he deserved the comments that Simon gave him - not constructive and actually very cruel for his first performance - and good on Leon for not crumbling after a disastrous start in the competition. I love his voice and his new album is a complete and utter gem.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
He must have thought he was really pullying off the dancing during the performance. Don't think I've ever laughed so much at X-Factor (including the auditions). And he won?! 5 stars for the hilarity of it
I thought this was great - far too good and sophisticated for many to notice. I thought he would win the show from after hearing this - and when he sung Home the following week, there was only going to be one winner!
Love this version! I love the Michael Buble version too also cos Michael is awsome! But so is Leon! Cant wait for his album and that money can buy. =P
at the end of the day theres no need to swear at leon fans and not being funny but if you dont like him then bugger off and what the hell are you doing on here anyway ?
I don't get why he had to do a swing version. He should have just done the Beatles version. As far as I know it's a likable fun version so I don't know why he had to do this swing version which was just terrible.
His vocals do have a touch of Pat Kane about them I agree.
Vocally it wasn't bad, the timing was a little off. But the arrangement was poor, and why they thought it would be a good idea to get the poor lad do an uptempo song like this week one when he was nervous enough as it was I shall never know....
Simon that was a complete and utter nightmare!!!!!!!!!! lol Rhydian Is Da Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
