X Factor Betting Odds - Leona Lewis To Win On Saturday?
December 12th, 2006 at 10:30 by Stuart Heritage
The X Factor semi-final is a serious event - so serious, in fact, that it can't be tainted by having a ropey old theme sellotaped to it like in previous weeks; well, either that or the X Factor people realised that a Gloria Estefan theme would be patently crap.
No, instead - for the first time - X Factor didn't have a theme. And you know what? It felt weird. So instead of putting up with it, we zapped up a bunch of special homemade X Factor themes to stop us getting confused. At various points on Saturday, we decided that we were watching the X Factor What The Fuck Does Kate Thornton Think She's Wearing? theme night, the X Factor See Who Can Do The Most Stupidly Large Keychange theme night and the X Factor Wait A Minute, Aren't They Just Singing Songs From The 2005 X Factor Final? theme night. And lo, we were happy.
But who's going to win X Factor? Well, Leona will, obviously. But let's pretend we don't know that and look at the X Factor betting odds for Leona Lewis…
Leona Lewis - In the semi-finals of a show like X Factor, you really have to be careful not to turn into a caricature of yourself. With this in mind, what song did Leona Lewis choose for her first X Factor performance on Saturday? Only another sodding Whitney Houston tune, wasn't it? Leona Lewis sang I Have Nothing, marking roughly her millionth Whitney Houston cover of the X Factor series so far, and it was everything you could expect from Leona. It was technically perfect - with a keychange so gigantic that it caused a tidal-wave which actually submerged Cornwall for 17 hours - but it was duller than a month spent individually gift-wrapping grains of salt. Leona's next song was Somewhere Over The Rainbow, which Leona chose because it reminded her of her dead cousin, and not at all because Shayne Ward sang it just before he won the final of X Factor last year, no way. To try and demonstrate Leona's - admittedly flawless - tender and powerful vocal range, the X Factor producers cooked up a nasty arrangement of the song that lurched from hushed acoustic to bombastic noise explosions and back again so many times that it ended up sounding like The Pixies: The West End Musical. Despite the relentless stream of rubbish songs that she's been given, Leona has to win X Factor. Doesn't she? Current X Factor betting odds - 1/5
Tomorrow - the start of the Strictly Come Dancing betting odds…

You really need to shut up and find something better to do - your views are so right-wing that they’re not even believable

How on earth can you call his views “right wing”? Unless of course writing “I don’t like Leona” is tantamount to saying “lets go fox hunting and tax poor people”.

To Leona i have your famous cd at home. when i have a hard day at school and that something has gone wrong at school i put your cd on and listen to it. When you won the x factor i was cheering you on when it was the final and i crossed my fingers and hoped that you would of won the x factor. I would of like to have won the x factor Ray Quin to have won but i am glad that you have won because
you were really a great singer. My best steph wanted Ray to have won she goes mad on ray.

I am your biggest fan and i cant get your song ‘ bleeding love ‘ out of my head my fav is the courus

they try to pull me away,
but they dont know the truth,
my hearts crippled by the vein that i keep on closing’
see i memorised it you are so cool i love you leona dont ever stop singing.
