SO glad Leon won, he deserved it, definitely.
I think the duet with Katherine Jenkins made people realise how utterly awful he was. She was far more powerful and fantastic. In comparison, he was just weak.
Go Team Leon!

As an Englishman - and therefore impartial in the final - I think Leon was the rightful winner. I don't think it was just a case of the Scots voting for their man I think Leon genuinely deserved to win. In any case would'nt the Welsh have been voting for Rhydian too? Any way congratulations to Leon and really well deserved
Posted by: Andrew | December 15, 2007 at 11:18 PM
well done u did well ! u were klasss lik i really liked same diffrence !!!! glad u won reydian hated him !!!! lik ! hope ur songs r good n catchie r day goin 2 be
Posted by: stacey | December 15, 2007 at 11:20 PM
So glad Leon won.Is he the youngest winner of Xfactor? If Rhydian is as good as everyone makes out,why hasn't he made it before now? Leon is a worthy winner.His version of the winners song was much better than Rhydians. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELL DONE SON, SCOTLAND IS SO PROUD OF YOU.

Posted by: dan | December 15, 2007 at 11:31 PM
fantastic .i am so glad you won you are going to be a huge star ,rhydian is a good singer but a little to cocky everyone related to you, your mum must be so proud . best of luck from a big fan in Ireland
Posted by: cat | December 15, 2007 at 11:31 PM
leon, i am so gald you won. rhydian had such an amazing voice, but what made you stand out is that from your very first audition to your last song you went from an average singer to an amazing, outstanding musician.
whereas rhydian on the other hand had already peaked from even before he had entered the competition, and to be honest, most of the time he was boring, we had heard the same thing over and over again. but you would come out one day doing a pop song, the next a jazz song, then a michael buble, the list was endless.
is it true that you've only been singing since the beginning of this year? and do you have any tips on getting better at singing?

Posted by: Fola | December 15, 2007 at 11:54 PM
The winning single was sung better by Leon however Same Difference and Rhydian were also fab finalists. However I feel they will both have careers and Leons best chance was by winning. Good Luck to him and the other finalists. You all deserve it!

I disagree with Helen - Shayne Ward is still there and still successful!

OMG LEON WELL
DONE
=D
'whats your best moment from xfactor ? '
'would you rather have gone through xfactor as a group so you had extra support or are you glad you went through it as a soloist?
and
What was the craziest/ best thing you recieved off a fan?
and
who do you inspire to have as much success as, ?
and
when you first entered xfactor did you have any idea you would get as far as you did?
Love
Becca

WELL DONE
Posted by: Beccaa | December 16, 2007 at 12:09 AM
Leon was not the best performer or singer but let him have his 5 minutes of fame, he'll be forgotten next week. I sure hope all the Scottish fans bigging him up are going to buy his records or he's going to look an idiot. Give him credit, he look shocked that he won, he know's he's not the best singer and didn't deserve to win, for that he has my respect. (BTW. Most ppl couldn't get through to vote for Rhydian anyway, I tried many times and it was engaged constantly, others report the same.)

Hello sweetie, well done! I think the whole of britain is very proud of you. you melted my heart with your preformance of When you believe, there is no doubt in my mind it will be the christmas number one. the fact you were against rhydian, and how amazing he is just shows even more what a true star you are. You seem a lovely genuine guy and the night was definately yours as you blew the country away. Though i'm hating the fact you got to meet michael buble, makes me very jealous(i love his music as u understand). i hope you have a wonderful life and i look forward to hearing the music you produce. Lots of love

You have an incredible voice that went from strentgh to strentgh with every week.
Congratulations, best wishes for your future career!
I will for sure buy your single :)

You are diferent from the rest which makes u the best u have come so far. Take the good comments with pride n the bad ones with ah well at the end of the day AM 2007 X FACTOR WINNER. Take care and good luck x x x
Posted by: amanda clark | December 16, 2007 at 12:21 AM
Hi Leon, You are lovely person and have an incredible voice. If this is what you can achieve in just 11 months the sky is the limit for you. I can not wait to see what you achieve in the next 11 months. Well Done!!!!! you are a STAR.
Posted by: Wilma | December 16, 2007 at 12:21 AM
Hey Leon!
You totally deserved to win tonight. Topped up mobile with £30 and now have 30p left from voting, haha. Voted loads on house phone too.
Rhydian's performances might have been consistent but you didn't peak until the final - which is a great thing. When You Believe was amazing.
I just remember watching your audition and thinking "hot... scottish... great singer... haha he has to win!!" and you did =]
You're ten times as good as Michael Buble and he's brilliant.
People above leaving negative comments?
Why are they reading this if they wanted Rhydian to win so much...?

This is the first year I've watched any of the Xfactor. I was flicking channels a few weeks agao and found Rhydian singing and was totally spellbound. I tried to vote this evening to show some support for Rhydian and just couldn't get through. I haven't brought a CD for years but I'ld buy Rhydian's tomorrow. Well done, walk with your head up high... and dont be afraid.. you are amazing.
Posted by: Gina | December 16, 2007 at 12:45 AM
Rhydian obviously thought he'd already won it judging by his reaction.
Rhydian's clearly the best singer but Leon's tears and vulnerable side have won him a lot of votes from girlies

Im so glad you won!
Me and my friends were all on the phone screaming when it was annouced!
The single is amazing!
Posted by: cloe | December 16, 2007 at 01:32 AM
Leon is obviously an extremely genuine guy, but I think, in order for him to be a success, he really need to work on his public speaking. On a positive note, he definitely deserved to win and I hope he has a very successful career ahead of him.
Posted by: Louise | December 16, 2007 at 01:38 AM
Congratulations to you Leon. You sang really well and you deserve to win.
Posted by: Marilyn | December 16, 2007 at 01:41 AM
Hi Leon
Have already left a message of congratulations but congratulations again!
I cannot believe there are people on here at this time of night writing negative comments, why bother, have you nothing else to do? Why aren't you on Rhydian's website telling him how great he is, instead of wrongly assuming the Scots only voted for Leon to be patriotic? People from ALL OVER Britain voted for Leon because he was the BEST and deserved to win.
Anyway - my question to Leon is:
How are you coping with your new sex symbol status?
Posted by: Lainey | December 16, 2007 at 01:42 AM
well done leon,u deserve it,your family will be really happy now u won.x
Posted by: lori | December 16, 2007 at 01:43 AM
Leon,
Rhydian was clearly the favourite and I think you looked as stunned as everyone else when Dermot called out your name. Do you think this upset could have a knock on effect in your attempt to be Xmas no 1 ? I hope you do well but I can see this ending in tears !
Posted by: James Dunford | December 16, 2007 at 01:57 AM
Congratulations on winning.
Q. Where do you see yourself in five years time?
Q. Do you think you will still want to sing?
Q. Does it matter to you to know that you won as a result of repeated votes ( possibly from the scots)rather than accumulated votes from all over the country?
Posted by: Rasha | December 16, 2007 at 02:00 AM
WELL DONE!!! The tears were streaming down our faces - with pure joy. Have a wonderful career enjoy every moment. Scotland is proud of their boy, you won it because you were the best not because your a Scot. Everyone i know voted for you over and over again and we all struggled to get through your line was jammed solid. Have a great time and enjoy yourself.
Best wishes from Ayrshire
Posted by: Elaine & John | December 16, 2007 at 02:17 AM
Well done Leon and good luck, as Simon said he needed to win really!
So sorry that Rhydian didn't win though as I will have to wait a few months before he releases a single or an album, I only watched X factor for his performances.

do you think will ever get the chance to sing at Hampden before a Scottish world cup game? and how would you feel?
Posted by: robert ryan | December 16, 2007 at 03:47 AM
I think that even Leon will admit that Rhydian is the better singer. But Leon's humble attitude won him a lot of votes and he has a great opportunity now. Well done.
Posted by: DW | December 16, 2007 at 05:01 AM

leon you won on your performance,style,personality,you are young and will grow from strenght to strength just like shane ward,congratulations,go for it son you made your mum so proud,now do the rest for yourself.GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE.

Once SD were out it was inevitable that the vote would move to Leon.
Nikki should have been there
Posted by: alastair | December 16, 2007 at 08:43 AM
LEON, LEON, LEON!!!!!!!!!!!
HE DISERVES TO WIN
EVERYONE WAS THINKING THAT RYDIAN WOULD WIN
( HOPING THAT LEON WOULD WIN THOUGH! )
I DONT LIKE RYDIAN, HE SINGS ALL OPREA STYLE.
HE WAS SO ARAGANT AND THOUGHT THAT HE HAD WON.
GO LEON.MAKE THE MOST OF IT.YOU CAN EASILY MAKE CHRISMAS NUMBER 1! DONT LET ANYONE PUT YOU DOWN. :) :) :)

IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE SCOTS V'S WELSH V'S ENGLISH COZ WE WILL BACK OOR BOY ALL THE WAY! GOTTA SAY - HOW CHEEZY WAS RHYDIAN 'FALLING TO HIS KNEES!' AND HE JUST SOUNDED MUFFLED WITH KATHERINE JENKINS! LEON, UR DUET WITH KYLIE WAS AMAZING AND I THINK YOU'VE GOT A FRANK SINATRA THING GOING ON! YOU ARE LIVING PROOF THE DREAMS CAN COME TRUE + WILL INSPIRE A LOT OF PEOPLE BOTH YOUNG AND OLD TO TAKE A CHANCE....DID YOU SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT?

aww well done i am suprised lol
well done u did us proud
Posted by: ABZ | December 16, 2007 at 08:57 AM
We Knew you would Win! from the first time we saw you,It was so ovious to anyone that this young boy was a King. This is going to be the best christmas you have ever had, so enjoy Leon.
Your family must be very proud of you!the feelings from the show last night were so strong, reaching out to every one touching there hearts,Yes leon you did just that, and thats what the show is all about.
fantstic we wish you and your family merry chrismas and a happy new year.
Also we would like to wish Ridhian and Same Difference all the very best,they were very good, and brave espacially from that awful louis and they carried on regardless. i predict for those two they will become our nataions best childrens television presenters from new year because they really are amazing, and rhidian will become a star.
Best wishes from chris & linda from manchester
its nice to have a show that changes people lives, thats why its worth watching.
my favorite judge has to be sharon, yeah she can be hard, shes no mug and does not take pity on those who try and soft soap her, she sees right through them, but those who are good,sharon give a genuine opinon, i predict this, if sharon were to leave the show, it would end.
she is a fantastic judge. so sharon best wishes you are a real star.

well done your voice is great and will only improve i work nights and missed a lot of your middle performances. i was surprised in the change you really improved from show one, when i saw both the semi final and final i saw possibly the biggest new star britain has seen for years the best person won
Posted by: ian southend | December 16, 2007 at 09:05 AM
IN RESPONSE TO BECCAA - LEON LOOKED SHOCKED BECAUSE HE WAS STUNNED THAT A YOUNG LAD WORKING IN A CLOTHES STORE HAS JUST WON THE BIGGEST SHOW ON T.V - AND DIDNT LOOSE TO A 'CLASSICALLY TRAINED' COMPETITOR WHO SUDDENLY CHANGED FROM MR COCKY + ARROGANT TO MR HUMBLE JUST IN TIME FOR THE LIVE SHOWS....HMMMMM. OH YEAH BTW AND I ALSO TRIED MANY TIMES TO VOTE FOR LEON + COULDNT GET THROUGH EITHER - SO IT WAS A TWO WAY STREET!
Posted by: LOUISE | December 16, 2007 at 09:07 AM
Well done leon. I am a 49 year old mum of a 21 and 23 year old. I have watched every saturday night. I have watched all the other X factors but never voted and never got as emotional as I did last night. I actualy voted this time. Even tho Rhydian is brilliant you realy needed to win.
I am so glad you have got this chance in life.
Good luck for your future. I just wish my Son was as caring as you. Your mum must be so proud of you.
Have a brilliant Christmas.

Dear Leon,
What a brilliant story from start to finish! You are what the x-factor should be all about - plucked out of your living room and made in to a star! (Not trained for 4 years or from a stage somewhere!)Your Mum has done such a great job bringing you up and no doubt worried about you pursuing a career in singing as it is soooo tough out there.Well, you have won the step up in to celebrity so grab it with both hands! You SSSOOOOOOO deserve it! Looking forward to buying all your future productions - opening up all that fabulous soleful music to youngsters everywhere!

Firstly! My Best Mate Has An Amazing Voice, Very Strong So I Have Applied For X Factor 2008 For Her But She Says She Doesnt Want To Make A Fool Out Of Herself As She Doesnt Realise How Good She Is! Any Words Of Encouragement You Think Will Go Down Well?

Leon, Absolutely ecstatic that you were crowned King!!! Hope my phone bill takes it's time to arrive (by the way the lines were engaged all night which told me you were going to win so disregard the disgruntled messages you are getting). There can be only one - it is you and as long as you believe in yourself you will go far.
Listening last night to "Believe" I think you should re-record it with a Pipes and Drums background. Do you think that is something you would consider? It might be the next Scottish National Anthem!!
I am from Stoneyburn but living in Bedfordshire and I am so happy for you - I know Scotland partied for you last night!. Well done Son. No.1 for Xmas YIPEE.

I thought last night your performances were exceptional, you have a smooth rounded voice that is a delight to hear. I cant wait to see what you are like in five years as I feel it will be matured more and probably the best of its field. Congratulations Leon and I wish you every success in your future, The lovely thing about this year is all three contestants will do wonders and I am proud to be british with people like you, Rhyddian, Sean and Sarah out there flying the flag.xx
Posted by: Carol Pearce | December 16, 2007 at 10:50 AM

Leon, Congratulation mate, I was watching from Australia tonight. Had tears in my eyes when you won. Cant wait till you release your album. Good luck
Posted by: Brad Walker | December 16, 2007 at 10:53 AM
Congratulations! It's a fabulous start for 2008 and I really wish you the very best. Just believe in yourself - just like the lyrics of the song you sang.
Some people think Rhydian should have won but they haven't realised that there are 'horses for courses'. Rhydian is the best in his type of market but your voice is much more marketable and you were, undoubtedly the very best in your field. I'm glad you won because I love your voice.
Special congratulations on your duet with Kylie. You never put a foot wrong - who choreographed it? How did you get on in rehearsals?
Love & best wishes for 2008 and beyond.
Heather (I'm not Scottish, by the way!)
Posted by: Heather | December 16, 2007 at 10:57 AM
Well done Leon. The best man won, fantastic performance of the Mariah
Carey song, When You Believe. I dont think Rhydian could have sung this
song as well. Leon is a all-rounder not like rhydian the opera man all
the way threw the contest.
Posted by: j shiels | December 16, 2007 at 11:00 AM
Leon you really have a Sinatra quality to your voice, will you be getting some training now, because you have amazing potential? I loved Rhydian but I voted for you all the way through and I'm so thrilled for you.. I don't believe only the Scottish votes won it for you, the rest of us loved your spirit on the night as well.
Posted by: Janet | December 16, 2007 at 11:00 AM

Good luck with your career, you seem like a genuine lad who deserves some success, and remember, its easy to do as you are told, you will think that is how it works, however, the media loves a little mayhem (see Amy Winehouse), so stick to what YOU want to do, at this time you are 50 times more famous than Cowell, so don't let him destroy your career!

Leon, many congratulations you are in a league of your own. The final was amazing. You shone in all three songs. I could not get through much to vote for you as your line was constantly engaged. Good luck for the futurexxxx
Posted by: Maggie England | December 16, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Leon won because the X Factor is a popularity contest and he appeals to more people than Rhydian. Unfortunately popularity is a fickle beast and I get the feeling that a lot of his fans will desert him when the next big thing - Big Brother, American Idol, etc - comes along.
Musically I hope they let him do swing because that's what he loves and I think he'll do well in that niche. Rhydian will do well out of this too - he's obviously gutted because he's a Type A personality and ultra competitive - but he'll not be short of work after his exposure on the X Factor.
Look forward to seeing SD on kid's TV too!
Posted by: Mark | December 16, 2007 at 11:21 AM
LETS PARTY!!!!!!!!
WELL DONE LEON FOR WINNING. YOU DO DESERVE TO WIN YOU ARE WAT THE X FACTOR IS ABOUT SHY TALENTED PEOPLE THT WOULDN'T NORMALLY HAVE THE CHANCE 4 SUMTHING LIKE THIS. RHYDIAN HAS HAD TRAINING AND APPARENTLY TRAINED MORE THN NY1 ELSE SO WHY IS HE NOT ALREADY GOT A CAREER. I WAS GUTTED THOUGH WEN NIC WAS VOTED OUT THAT WAS AN INJUSTICE SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE AND NOT SAME DIFFERENCE!!!!! WILL U STAY FRIENDS WITH NY1 FROM THE SHOW AND IF SO WHO????

Hey Leon, I knew you would win this year. I had every faith in you, and you've done it.
By the way I love the way you've been named The Leon King, so similar to my real name 'Leon Kings'.
Well done again, give your mum a massive hug!

I remember watching u at the Glasgow Auditions and I said to my 14 year old son - There is the Winner. I put a couple of pound on u to win and have watched u every week growing in confidence and becoming the x Factor Winner - Congratulations.
You've dueted with Michael Buble & Kylie - both fab. Excluding Danni - Who is next on your wish list?
Posted by: Sheila | December 16, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Hi Leon,
Congratulations - you deserved to win!!! You looked like you really did not expect it.
You always said that your motivation was to change your mum's life. This is possible now!
What would you like to do for your mum?
Musically, it would be great if "Better the devil you know" was re-released with you and Kylie singing together.
Do you have any ideas/hopes for your first album?
Posted by: Sarah | December 16, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Well done Leon!
You really deserved it, you really did.
did you think it was true when Dermot read out your name?
Well done again!!
Love You =P

Hey,
Well done Leon,
You did amazing,
I am so going to buy your single, So glad you won i voted like 100 times and used all me credit hehe.
Sooo...
How did you feel when Dermot read out your name?
&&
Are you going to rush an album out like some x factor people have done, or are you going to work on it to make it the best it can be, wait a while and then release it just like Leona and show everyone why you deserved to win?

Posted by: harley | December 16, 2007 at 12:11 PM
Are you going to have a go at writing your own songs too? If so what type of music do you think you will start experimenting on or will yo do a mix? make my day and send me a reply.
Also Your voice is so amazing and is loved by all ages. I hope you take your time with the album and really make the most of this opporutniy.I can't wait to hear your album and loved how you really tried new notes in the winning single performance. Stay true to who you are.be the professional hard working guy you are and please don't fall ino to the trap of that horrible lifestyle some celebs do . dont waste it and be an artist ...its about that and not necessarily being just a celebrity but a true artist who is around long term and go with your instincts and have a say over yoour music of what you want to do too and where yoru strenghts lie but also keep experimeining.
leon jackson from the first audition i knew you were the winner and i voted for you every week. I am in my eary thirties so its ot jusrt teeagers that think you are fantastic you have a likability and a soul the best of luck to you and i hope to see more of you in the papers in the future for the right reasons becasue you deserve it. Hey I lived in scotland for years so am doubly proud. your mum must be chuffed to bits. love and abig HUG LAYLA.. am so happy for you

Posted by: leah | December 16, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Hi Leon,
Just a quick message to congratulate you on being the 2007 Xfactor winner.
Just a quick request could you email our little baby girl Emma (2 weeks old)- she met Dolly Parton at 2 days old. What a keepsake it would be to have a personal message at 2 weeks old from the X Factor winner.
Good luck- like the single!
Posted by: Shane Jarman | December 16, 2007 at 12:18 PM
