*bites you across the internet* Geez, it'd be better even if SD won. DX

It might make me a miserable git, but I take comfort in the fact that Rhydian has a career anyway, because anyone would be mad not to snap him up, and the fact that, year after year, we've seen people in exactly the same vein as Leon, with the same sort of bluesy/soul/Rat Pack style voice (Steve, Ray, Andy, etc) release a few singles, then fall off the face of the Earth because the interest just isn't there. Honestly, being cynical, for all everyone was rallying behind him tonight, I don't think Leon has staying power, a commercial enough bent, or anywhere near enough charisma to have longevity.

I had a feeling Leon would win the teenage girl vote, though, so I wasn't really expecting Rhydian to snatch it, to be honest. Meh.

...who? What? o.O

That's really true. Time will definitely tell. Where's Ray gone anyway? XD Speaking of Ray, when I heard that they were going to sing "When You Believe" for the final song, I thought "ah, just like last year, they chose a song knowing who can sing it better" because last year they chose a song that obviously showed off Leona a lot better than Ray... I suppose that made the results surprising to me. Rhydian's rendition of the song was so much better...

Think I'm going to YouTube to watch Rhydian in his white sequin suit again...

X-Factor. Singing contest on TV.

Well... at least it wasn't same difference.
But Rhydian will probably get a contract anyway ;)

I prefered the phantom of the opera :D

Rhydian in a white sequin suit. I was sold INSTANTLY. (I turned around and told Liz, wow, I love the craziness.)

He looks like a freak, but then he wibbles every now and then. I like wibbly freak. ;;

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

That was brilliant, too. XD

But, just now, when he was on the stage wearing a fitted suit, he reminded me of Andy Lau. Which was not a good thing. D: *not an Andy Lau fan*

XDDDD Same Difference has some weird thing that makes me want to punch their faces in. ^^"

X-factor is a highly manipulated show. They allow 'characters' like Rhydian their run for the viewing figures, confident that the teenage girlies (and many other viewers) will be voting for the pretty boy in the end. I don't think there's been a real upset since Will Young beat Gareth Gates and you could tell from their reactions back then that they'd practically issued the Gareth cd already!

The only problem I have with that argument is that I think Leon isn't even pretty or remotely cute. *sigh*

[giving-ground.livejournal.com]

OMG, I thought it was just me. Everyone else I talked to seemed to like them. o.o

[akina-love.livejournal.com]

My mum keeps calling the girl...well, I don't know how to write it in chinese but "crazy chicken?"... it sounds like "dean is gay". Omg I am going to stop typing now and save myself.

Oh, excellent. The love child of Tom Jones and Billy Idol, looks fit for a Bond villain! :D BUT WHERE ARE THE DAMN SEQUINS?! I am so disappointed, I wanted to see sequins. D:

That man needs to be at West End.

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Ah, me sorry! Pastede the wrong link! SEQUIN AND FUR!

[solaas.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA, excellent stuff! XD The cheeky bastard.

[strawberryjoy.livejournal.com]

He's got a nice boy-next-door face. Add lighting and makeup...

I would've been a little bit sad if Leon had lost. Though I wouldn't have begrudged Rhydian it at all, cos he was totally good enough; but Leon constantly surprised me with how good his voice actually is! He's a very good singer - and of course, I was always melted by how much he cried. XD
