X-Factor winner, Leon Jackson has just been dropped by his music record label, Sony. The scottish singer made just one album with the corporate label before he was given the unfortunate boot.  Leon Jackson was the suprise winner of the 2007 X-factor competition narrowly beating the peculiar operatic hurricane, Rhydian Roberts.

To Leon’s dismay, Rhydian’s career is soaring after selling an impressive 500, ooo copies of his self-entitled debut album. This figure dwarf’s Jackon’s  When you Believe , which has  sold just 130, ooo since it’s release in December 2007. 

 Leon may also be fummed to know that fellow X-Factor winner,  Leona Lewis was recently paid 1-million dollars for a Phone’s4U concert performance.  The gig took place last Saturday at the billionaires mansion in Eccleshall staffs and saw the star take of just 200 people.

It’s instances like Leon’s which make us wonder if the judges should have a say in the final vote. Jackson’s recent firing from his record label alongside Rhydian’s success clearly indicate that the competition fails in it’s own purpose of selecting individual’s with that X-Factor.

With the reccesion taking blows at the entertainment market and executives demanding true marketeable talent, we can expect to see Leon leaping into the wilderness for the next series of  “I’m a celebrity, Get me out of here.” 

Watch Leon beating Rhydian Roberts to be crowned the X-Factor
