....They did it last year as well with a nod towards American Idol again of each finalist preparing the same song to release (this year's is Kelly Clarkson's debut, whatever that was!).

Personality means everything in these contests. You're releasing manufactured material and you've got no credibility - If you want to survive you need to have a personality. Sadly Leona hasn't. She's got a decent voice but no personality whatsoever, so even if she does win I don't think she'll last long.


Maybe she just hasnt had a chance to show her personality yet?


I don't think people should mistake shyness for not having a personality. She seems a very sweet natured girl, who is probably bags of fun with her friends but hasn't really got much confidence when speaking in public. Of course this may be her downfall in the business, and certainly something she needs to work on. But I'd rather her 'personality' than Ray's any day.


I agree - I much prefer her to Ray. And she probabaly doesnt get to show her real personality anyway as when we see her she is probabaly very nervous singing live to the nation!

Well I guess anyone wud be nervous.I guess Leona will win unless a huge disaster.I dont know how Ray got to the final.Some of my favourites were either out early or didnt get picked for the final 12.

Leona will be the one who goes onto last though, at the end of the day winning might not even be in her best interests.

Even though Leona is so much better, I think Ray will have a much longer career on the stage than Leona will in the music business.

So many slip through the net - this time last year Shayne Ward was set to be the British Justin Timberlake, but apart from his single on the back of The X Factor, he's not really made his mark at all.

Leona to win. Even though she won't. Pathectic.

I agree. I prefer the North to the South but I still want Leona to win because its not about where they are from, its about the talent.

Absolutely. I love the North but they do seem to be much more loyal and vocal than down South...

Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

And is it just me or has Simon suddenly jumped on the Ray bandwagon and left Leona out in the cold?
