December 23, 200718 yr Apparently 280,000. Thats really rubbish. I mean good for a #1, but for X Factor winners single - awrful! It certainly won't get the sales Leona and Shayne got

December 23, 200718 yr Well I can safely say Leona's title as Best X Factor winner is untouched this year :P
December 23, 200718 yr After Shayne Ward & Leona Lewis' sales in Xmas week in the last two years if Leon has sold less than 300,000 in the first week, then I would label this single as a flop. G5QUNZ_5GpU Leon Jackson - When You Believe (live on GMTV) The reason why there is all this venom on the worldwide internet is due to the fact that Leon lacks some basic fundamental requirements to be a decent singer, he lacks charisma and has no stage presence, He looks out of his depth when performing in front of a camera, he can't move on stage, he speaks in such a dull voice that he makes PM Gordon Brown sound exciting. But most importantly he can not hold a melody or sing in tune (listen to the video of a live GMTV performance for evidence). I see better singers week in week out performing at my local. At least Michelle McManus & Steve Brookstein had that basic vocal quality. I think it says something that within the last week the likes of KT Tunstall "Leon winning X Factor is an embarrassment to Scotland. I'm ashamed of my compatriots who voted for him just because of his nationality when he clearly was not the best singer in the final by a long, long margin....", Lee Mead, Connie Fisher, Vocal coaches to the stars Carrie & David Grant "he has a nice tone to his voice, but is range is limited & is vocally weak outside of his comfort zone. And he needs to do some serious work to be able to consistantly sing in key and in time..." , Alesha Dixon, Lemar, Simon Le Bon, Louie Walsh, Denise Van Outen, Melanie C "(laughing) Victoria & Geri are better singers than he is", former Fame Academy "headmaster" & former head of Universal records A&R in the UK and fellow Scot Richard Park "Leon winning ahead of Rhydian, is probably the biggest miscarriage in the history of British TV talent shows. And I would include going way back to Opportunity Knocks & New Faces. It would be tragic if it was not so hilarious..." Leon might be for Christmas, but Rhydian will be around for a lot longer.
December 23, 200718 yr 1 Leon Jackson - When You Believe [P] *Christmas #1* http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/88697220162.JPG Chart Run: 1 [1 wk] Release date: 19-12-2007 Availability: in stock Number of Discs: 1 Catalogue Number: 88697220162 Label: BMG 18-year-old Leon Jackson has won the fourth series of ITV's X Factor, beating Rhydian Roberts to second place while Same Difference came third. The X Factor has returned to our screens with judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and, new to the panel, Dannii Minogue being more frank with the contestants than ever. Yet again the show has dominated our airwaves with viewing figures peaking at 10 million every week. In true X Factor fashion, the winners single, will be released on the 19th December, a great reminder of the show and the perfect stocking filler for Christmas.

December 23, 200718 yr Honestly, its a better than the original version of the song which was originaly recorded by Mariah and Whitney. I'm assuming you've missed out the :rolleyes:
December 23, 200718 yr Leon's performance on GMTV was affected by his sore throat. Any idiot can hear that he's straining to hit the notes. Don't forget, for someone who hasn't done it for a long time before, singing all the time is very straining on your vocal chords. His throat just needs to adjust to him singing all the time. He only did it once a week on X Factor. Edited December 23, 200718 yr by Iheartkelly

He only did it once a week on X Factor. This is the whole point as to why he shouldn't have won. He is not a singer - i know singers who have trained from a very young age and practice every single day doing 1 - 2 hour warm up sessions every single day - even when they haven't got a gig on. The excuses that are being made for him only make him sound worse
December 23, 200718 yr Let's see if Leon is around a year from now with the biggest selling single of the year and over a million album sales. ;) He could do, no one expected it from Leona.

He only did it once a week on X Factor. Maybe then he should have been a bit more professional and not gone out on a celebratory drinking bender on Saturday night/Sunday morning. As photographed by the tabloids in time for Monday's papers.... There is no way that a certain other finalist in X-Factor would have done that.
December 23, 200718 yr Leon only sold 276,000 :lol: What was Leona's first week sales of Bleeding Love - i don't want this being the fastest selling #1 of the year, but i fear it is
December 23, 200718 yr He could do, no one expected it from Leona. Yes but Leona has a MUCH better and stronger voice than Leon. To me, Leon sounds like a Michael Bubble backing singer. :lol:
