X Factor: Ben Mills View On The Final two
Ben Mills has spoken yesterday to the Sunday People about his views on the final two X factor contestants:
ON LEONA
IT’S been clear all along that Leona is the true star of the show.
She’s got everything, the whole package – an amazing voice and stunning, superstar looks.
She’s going to be a big star wherever she chooses to go, be it here in the UK or over in the United States.
Leona is really emotional when she sings but she also knows how to look like the complete professional up on stage.
She has much more mainstream appeal than me and, to be honest, I was just amazed to have got as far as I did.
& ON RAY
I’VE become great friends with Ray during X Factor and we really bonded over the last weeks.
You can’t help but be impressed with his vocal talents. He knows how to really master a song and deserved to reach the final.
It great that somebody with Ray’s personality has come through the ranks and been such a hit with viewers.
He’s a terrific guy who has got his feet firmly on the ground.
He’s not the sort of bloke to let fame go to his head either.
It won’t change him one bit as winner or runner-up.

hi i love ray sooooooo much and he is my hero and i love ben aswell wouldnt mind a threesome
im not ray gay lucy and its just my mates messing around but i do love ray though and hes better than ben
I was shocked when Ben got kicked out, but in a way I think it’s better he didn’t win. Everyone knows the X Factor winner will get a Christmas Number 1 but they have to follow it up. I mean, what stars have really carried on out of a reality TV show anyway? I think Ben would have less credibility if he was under Simon’s thumb.
Leona is a good singer. Too good, in fact, to me. To me the show is about natural talent, not trained talent and no one could ever deny she has had training. You cannot sing like that without it. Throughout the show she was likened to Mariah Carey, Beyonce and other artists. Christina Aguilera came on the radio and my Mum said, “Is that that Leona?” Good singer, yes. Memorable and distinctive, nil points.
Ray was never as good vacally as the other contestants. he’s good and can dance well. In my opinion, he’d have been better taking that job in the West End.
Oh, and I just want to say that I am exempt from the ‘teenage voters’ who voted for Ray. I voted for Ben, all along. And yes, I am 16. Not all of us go for the obvious choices, you know. I’m different and I voted for Ben because he is too.
