What do you all think? Should Rydian have won?

I must admit, he was my favorite and I had chills go down my spine when he sang. No singer has done that to me for years. This is the first year I have watched the show and it was only because of that fantastic voice. Well done to Leon though.

I agree I so wanted Rydian to win
think leon's voice is not as good-although he is more modern-
I booked tickets yesterday for the tour in march can't wait to hear him live

i think leon won because he is more the pop style image whereas rhydian would be better as a opera star. i think they will both do well, but must admit i think leon sang the the winning song better

Do you all think that having a big star singing with Leon won it for him? I know some people were more interested in watching Kylie and could this have gave an unfair advantage to Leon.

to be honest i think anyone who had the guts to stand next to kylie and sing whith her should defo of won, the guts that must of taken i would of fainted forgot my words, i dunno. got to admit tho seeing jason sing again after all them years was great i loved him as a child and still think he is great now.

I agree charlie the winning song was better for Leon than Rydian-yes I do think Kylie had something to do with it.

I must admit to have you need courage to sing with any star , but not everyone has Kylie as a sister. I do think that Leon is a lovely lad, and he will make something of himself, well both him and Rydian will. I don't know about Same Differance, Butlins here they come!

i agree but will defo take my daughter to them she thinks they are brill bless her 3 years old and she loves sean even told my nan she is going to marry him! lol bless her x

I think you are right Charley, they are more a childrens entertainers. My son is well into his teens now, but my little great nieces (showing my age) adores them. Yes he is cute as well, bless him.

In the paper yesterday it said that Dame Difference have been approched to make a disney childrens record and Rydian has been approached by A L Webber to star in one of his shows.

simon cowell is trying to sign rhydian b4 a l w cos he wants all the control biut i think rhydian wud be a great phanton x

I would love to see him in the West End, Bless Him (I bless everyone, should have been a Vicar)

According to my local radio news this morning, there was talk of a voting fix as many people trying to vote for Rhydian couldn't get through to do so.

This of course has been denied by the show

Time will tell who has the true x factor.

I remember when Steve brookstein won....he diddnt last long. I think sometimes people vote for the wrong reasons eg.cuteness....sympathy for the persons background...the list goes on and on.....

i think its unfair on the winner when they say there was a voting fix, aperently 80 people have complained but leon one by a few thousand votes so how wud that 80 of made a difference anyway! why cant people never accept what they watch leon won rhydian came second but really how many losers are there most of them get a record deal anyway!

seems to me that voting in these contests is following the lines of the Eurovision one - people are voting for country rather than the person - not saying that just cos I'm Welsh - Gethin out of Strictly and Rhydian out of X - quite frankly I am sure Rhydian will get right to the top regardless of the outcome of the show - talent always wins through in the end

I think Beverley should of won

Leon had the package of looks,,,,and that maybe is what swung it for him,,I personally find the image of the Wesh guy,***freaky***,,,but his voice is in a class of its own,,he didnt need votes to further his career,,,,,,,,,

my oh swear bev was a man

I have to say I was disappointed that Rhydian didn't win, but think that it is now irrelevent... he has been brought to the attention of the movers and shifters of the music world, and his fantastic talent will almost certainly make him a huge star in the future.

We tried all evening to phone and register our votes, but were unable to do so. We tried on both our mobiles and BT landline... We haven't complained, though. But we had some rather odd messages, that maybe we should now tell 'someone' about... we were constantly being told that we would not be charged for the call... even though it was certainly during the *call lines are open* period. So we were getting through, I think, but our calls were not registering.

Good luck Leon, although disappointed he won (I too thought Beverly or Nikki should have reached the final with Rhydian) I certainly don't begrudge him this wonderful chance.

I didn't mean to imply that the phones were rigged in Leon's favour, Katie, that is not my style at all!!

As you also had problems phoning your votes through, then that would indicate a fault with the system.

The fact that we were getting through, but then a recorded message telling us that we would not be charged for the call indicates a fault of some sort, but not necessarily that the votes were being rigged!

We had problems getting through on our mobiles, as well.

We were actually totally unsuccessful in our attempts to vote at all, throughout the evening.
