Posted March 19, 200916 yr Leon Jackson 'dropped by Sony' Thursday, March 19 2009, 12:24 GMT By Mayer Nissim Leon Jackson 'dropped by Sony' Rex Features Leon Jackson has been officially dropped by his record label Sony, it has emerged. The former X Factor winner was released by the company yesterday despite his debut album Right Now selling 130,000 copies, The Sun reports. Jackson said: "I had a great year and learned so much recording and releasing my album. Every artist knows these things can go either way. "I'm really looking forward to my tour and doing more writing." Simon Cowell reportedly believed that Rhydian Roberts should have beaten Jackson in last year's final. A source close to the judge said: "[Cowell]thought the most talented person should have won. "That was never Leon and what has happened since has proved him right. Leon's a good lad, but he's definitely not set the world alight."'twas only a matter of time really, wasn't it? LOL
March 19, 200916 yr Simon Cowell reportedly believed that Rhydian Roberts should have beaten Jackson in last year's final. Thanks Simon, for the truth. :D And yeah, a big LOLOLOLOL :lol:
March 19, 200916 yr Saw this earlier but it must have been such a non-event to me that I forgot to post it! :lol: He really was awful, I almost feel sorry for him, he seems quite a simple lad bless him.
March 19, 200916 yr I'll add to what the others have said, truly deserved. So talentless it's unreal, let's hope Egghead from the last series does this badly.
March 19, 200916 yr LOL! about time. should never have won. Nothing talented ever comes out of Whitburn
March 19, 200916 yr Sigh. Well I'm glad. And disappointed. They fked him over big time. His album was, dare I say it...good. And thats not my sort of music! But a $h!t first single ruined any potential. Shame, but I hope he gets a 2nd shot with another company, where they appreciate him. Cowell wanted Rhydian, so Leon was screwed from the minute he won.
March 19, 200916 yr Poor Leon. I bet simon cowell found it hard to dictate to the male acts, that's why they didn't last but I think Rhydian should have won
March 19, 200916 yr It was gonna happen sooner or later. Not only has he been dropped, to rub salt in the wounds, Simon has said that he didnt deserve to win. Don't Call This Surprising :eek:
March 19, 200916 yr Is anyone really suprised? Cowell didn't want Leon to win (and he shouldn't have won) so at any given oppotunity if he wasn't gonna sell a decent enough load of albums they'd get shot of him.
March 19, 200916 yr Where have all the posters who 15 months ago were glad Rhydian got beaten????? I'll say now what I said then he was a talentless cute teenager who won with the Scottish national vote & teenager girls vote who could not sing for toffee and had a charisma bypass. tsAAJqCNiuk Leon Jackson - Can't Buy Me Love (X Factor) G5QUNZ_5GpU Leon Jackson - When You Believe (live on GMTV)
March 19, 200916 yr Butlins awaits him, would say cruise ship but from the couple of cruises I have been on that would be insulting to cruise ship singers
March 19, 200916 yr Well he hasn't really got anywhere has he and i'm not suprised as i was never keen on him at all anyway :D
