Rhydian @ 1.4

Worth a monkey?

Was anyone on him early? If so, how early and what price did you get?

Is that a new element or something?

lmao

Looks like Danni might be on him quite soon?!  ;smackedbottom;

I backed Danni to win at 3.5 before the first live show

I thought Leon would do better judging by his pre-live show performances so bet on him at 9.00 and also that single dad who went early at 8.5

I also have Hope to last longer than Same difference and thew field v Rhydian at work, niether of which I'm particularly confident about.

Well played, hardly even worth laying it's such a cert. Hope it was for a tidy sum.

My sources have Rhydian clocking up almost 50% of the total phone vote in the last few weeks.

I got a little bit on Rhydian at 9.something after the first show.

turn you on, does he?..suits you, Sir!

what sources?

I put £20 on Leon ages ago at 9.2 when someone at the casino?!?! lol, told me he was a dead cert. I worried when he went out to 18.0 after some abject performances, but is now a solid 5.2 2nd Fav.

Rydian is obv miles miles better, but ppl jus say tht maybe the ppl who vote in comps like this, will go for the handsome young normal kid, rather than the Posh guy who sings Opera.

I very much doubt it, coz Rydian is heaven, but i can but hope.

same difference for me

they will attract the kiddie and grannie votes

the 14-35 age group will all be down the pub christmas parties and all that

so the kid and granny vote will be a huge portion of the voters

maybe i am thinking too much into this but i think those that would vote rydian (who is the best singer) will be too busy too vote

Rhydian was available at a high of 12/1 ante-post with Paddy Power.

awww bless you :)

class, i also noticed this quote

well.................... he is

I had Rhydian at 4.1 and 2.9, not for big money but enough to buy me in to the Irish Open.

That dude with the white hair has a right voice on him, the Mrs had it on Saturday night and I thought it was some famious singer not the X factor.

Hes a bit classical, but deffo the best lungs.

I bet you say that to all the boys  ;o)

rydian looks a certainty but personally i want same difference to win.

as quoted in another thread imo any of last years top 3 would have pissed it this year.

What have the X-Factor and the Champions League got in common?













Lyon is through to the next round in both :)

Really?  I don't think so.  Rhydian v Leona would have been an awesome final.  Tbh, I can't even remember who came third last year - I think that little Ray bloke may have sneaked 2nd.

Ben

rhydian is class in the area he specialises in but not one for the masses.

leona would have still won easily, she is the best ever singer to come out of any of these tv comps and will become a superstar.

What about Chico?

lol and the cheeky girls

alex parkes is the best singer from a reality show

doesnt get the credit she deserves

 rotflmfao

Chico is by far the greatest contestant to have been on any of these programs !

 
 ;ashamed;

Thank fuck I never put my money where my mouth was.

Absolute travesty.

Ship Ship Ship

I Run Good hes obv nowhere near as good as the Riddler.

nice touch.  Hope the winnings cover the phone bill :D

absolute joke rhydian shood have pissed it. will see who still around this time next year.


bloody jocks faulty nothing better than to sit re texting there votes same as last year when the macdonalds got further than they should!

Get in.

Leon never struggled for a note the whole comp. His voice is every bit as strong as Rhydians, just in a different style. Dispite some shocking song choices, a deserving winner and a £60 profit for me.
Might stick it on Man Utd to beat Liverpool, or maybe Man Utd + Arse/Chels draw. hmm

whats going on with the bookies ,all the inside info they get in these phone competitions on the telly and they have still got it wrong 3 times this year, a few months back they got big brother wrong when brian who was outsider in the final won, last week they had lewis hamilton very long odds on fav to be sportsman of the year , he got beat, now rhydian who was also massive fav gets beat , i am begining to think it might be worth a little bet on the outsider when these competitions get down to last 3 from now ,

anyway why is it every time i saw rhydian on the telly i always thought of thunderbirds

id lke to see the amounts bet on leon with the big firms, would prove very interesting, it will be currupt as long as people take bets on it.

the bets were mainly places on Rhydian and that brother and sister thing..hardly a penny was placed on Leon.

For a conspiracy theory you'd think that the bookies hired people to vote for Leon so they wouldn't have to pay a lot of money out :)

FARCE! Best man lost.

lmfao did you have your sound up?? or was you listening through a rose tinted earpiece due to your bet?

leon s voice may be a different style but to say it was anywhere near as good as rhydian is just downright madness!

Scottish people always get all patriotic and vote for their national option in these sort of crapshoots

For my next sweeping generalisation, stay tuned!!

Rhydian was ok, but he was a bit of a one trick pony, but that's not to say that Leon was miles better. 

Can't see how SD failed to win :D

Leon was absolutely shocking the first few weeks, he was a nervous wreck and lucky to stay on.


He started to get better with "You Don't Know Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhClFm-TR3E

Pfft - Rhydian was different class and by no means a one trick pony.

I didn't think Leon was good on Saturday - seemed far too nervous.

No, I was listening through musicians ears. He battled through some shocking song choices and arrangements, but the guys voice is very good. I'm not knocking Rhydian, who's clearly world class and will make a very good living from music.

Rhydian is heaven eh :D

Rhydian  just looked weird though.  I thought Rhydian was by far the better singer but I was under orders to vote for Leon.

Ofcom are investigating the vote - plenty of Welsh couldn't get through to vote for Kryten.

Maybe a pro-Leon faction cut the phone line under the Severn, or something.

wouldnt suprise me if there was a conspiracy, theres no limit to how low those jocks will swoop to win!  ;hide;

remind me never to come listen to any of your gigs !!!!!!!






















only kidding mate  ;nana; but still think he hit plenty of bum notes throught the series and his voice is hardly strong imo.

Quality Rich.

I think that Rhydian was great, the best by a long long way, but then in the last couple of weeks the judges really hyped Leon up and publicising him, getting him to sing with Michael Buble on stage and then Michael Buble going on X Factor to praise Leon, then in the final Leon gets to sing with the High profile act while shame difference and rhydian get less high profile acts to sing with. Felt that if the vote was genuine that it was only gonna go 1 way in the final IMO.

2006 Leonna
2007 Leon

next hot tip is that 2008 will be won by a guy called Leo

sayers?

I think they are singers
