Its almost irrelevant who was the best, or even who the public liked best, as I tried 6 times before I was able to get my vote in for rhydian. It kept giving the message 'lines are busy call back'......The voting result cannot possibly be reliable.

Leon has a lovely voice and deserved to win. He has many devoted fans in England as well as Scotland.

Deborah, Surrey, London, England

I do agree that Leon can't sing. He was very week throughout the series. He can only ATTEMPT to sing swing.

Alberto, London, England

this vote was a fix

Carly, scotland, glasgow

Leon is great and thanks to all our English friends who voted for the best talent. Rhydian only sings opera and the Welsh are bad losers.... Scotland and England have to be united and support Leon in his victory.....

Yinka,

Got some news for you.

It's impossible to win the xfactor without major support from 'bleeding englund". Voters in Scotland, Wales and Ireland have no influence in reality.

Yes they all add up, but do the math. This is England's fault.

Merry Xmas.

Leon, west lothain,

Leon is nowhere near as good as the previous X Factor winners, he cant even sing his own single in tune!!

LeonHater, NOT SCOTLAND,

Yinka, Leicester he cant sing you cant spell
and people can only survive if they have
someone to hate

Nothing wrong with this if people are prepared to line Simon Cowell's lets make an easy buck pockets!
He doesn't care if they last five minutes or five years just as long as they make him money!
Thing that worries me is if this format is hurting real music talent, if any of these kids are that good they will make it anyway and if not they shouldn't be there as a money making machine for the likes of Simon Cowell.
The x factor sends out the wrong message in my opinion, that to have great voice isn't enough, you have to be good looking too which is such rubbish!
I hope Simon Cowell has a great christmas counting his millions and these kids are still around this time next year!

This guy can't sing and it's obvious in the single sales. I'm not surprised he sond far more fewer than shayne Ward and Leona Lewis. This is just another Gareth Gates and I'm so angry that he won. He doesn't deserve it at all and only won cuz the whole of bleeding Scotland voted for him. his career won't go past next year

Yinka, Leicester,

his cover of when you believe is boring to be honest. but look at leona lewis, she made her cover of a moment like this so lovely. i think leon is not a talented as shayne ward and leona lewis, obviously.

Leon is overrated, only people in Scotland voted for him.

Johnny, Paisley,

Great news about Leon's song! I have to say I don't rate it as much as others of his performances during the show. But the distance he is behind Leona's sales and especially behind Shayne Ward is pretty revealing. Although I really enjoyed X-factor this year, I can't face another long drawn-out one next year. Even though the X Factor drew 12 million viewers this year, it might be time for Cowell and co. to move on.

David Wilding, London, England

you are so good at sing leon

bobo, shoramham, kingsland close

Hope Smalley, Livingston, Scotland

No talent required.
