December 23, 200718 yr 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 218,805 :(
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. I'll guarantee Rhydian will release 1 album which will do well, then after that it will flop.
December 23, 200718 yr Leon only sold 276,000 :lol: Lets compare: 2005 That's My Goal Shayne Ward 742,180 2006 "A Moment Like This" Leona Lewis 571,992
December 23, 200718 yr Lets compare: 2005 That's My Goal Shayne Ward 742,180 2006 "A Moment Like This" Leona Lewis 571,992 Its roughly what Girls Aloud sold with Sound of the Underground - but if u add One True Voice onto them then the winners single(s) of 2002 go above 400,000 for the 1st week
December 23, 200718 yr :cry: The UK Christmas number 1 is ruined for life! :lol: The 'true' Xmas No.1's of the past three years (i.e. the Xmas No. 2's): 2005: Nizlopi "JCB Song" 2006: Take That "Patience" 2007: Eva Cassidy & Katie Melua "What A Wonderful World" Looks a much better list, don't it? :(
December 23, 200718 yr It isn't it might be even back to normal next year and the rate of decline in x factor winner sales. People will get bored of feeling obliged to buy the winners single every year
December 23, 200718 yr He could do, no one expected it from Leona. Yeah right plenty of people expected it from leona, any fool could see the interest she had in her and the backing. Only detractors didnt expect it because they didnt want to. Sorry but leon doesn't have the same interest to go away for a year and do as well as she did, he will do ok as he will retain some of his Scottish fanbase, but i doubt he will even do as well as shayne. Just being realistic. Edited December 23, 200718 yr by utoia2004
December 24, 200718 yr Lets compare: 2005 That's My Goal Shayne Ward 742,180 2006 "A Moment Like This" Leona Lewis 571,992 And didn't the detractors last year all say "Leona is c**p - she can't even sell as many as Shayne - watch her flop" Why don't we wait and see what Leon produces before writing him off for a bad choice of single not sung in his style of music
