Published Date: 15 August 2008
X FACTOR winner Leon Jackson is set for a stunning comeback, judge Simon Cowell has said, despite fears he had sunk back into obscurity.
The pop mogul reportedly said the West Lothian teenager, who has been working on a new album, is set to become a "huge star".

Leon, 19, from Whitburn, has not released a record since his single When You Believe was the Christmas No. 1 after his victory last year.

Cowell was speaking as he launched this year's series of the talent competition. He said: "You'll find this record will be one of the biggest selling albums this year in this country and elsewhere."

Yeah,

Like Bobby "Boris" Pickett & the Crypt Kickers, Men without Hats and The Vapors will be back. They were all one-hit wonders---and a damned sight better than this Leon character.

I find it abhorrent that a glorified karaoke artist like him can be catapulted into stardom by the actions of a music business mogul. I also find it unbelievable that people actually fall for it.

Jeez Petrolhead, you've had your career of spouting p1sh and tripe. It's Leon's turn now, leave the wean alone.
