Hi Leon
Loving everything you have put about your forthcoming single and Album.
Leon Jackson - Right Now. I like it!!!
I am so excited for you!! I just know they are both going to be huge. You have put such a lot of effort and hard work into it , they can't fail to be!! I am so proud of you.
luv Helga
Finally, everything for my album is completed and I can reveal details of the single and album which I know yous have all been excited about and so have I!
My first single from the album is a song called 'Don't Call This Love' and will be available to download at midnight on 11th October and in shops on the 13th October. It's my favorite song on the album and is an original with a really individual sound. The song is one I think people will really be able to relate to, it's about someone who's been hurt, they don't want to be deceived anymore and they're saying to their partner "don't you dare call this love", it's a really charismatic song and really strong.
The name I've chosen for the album is Right Now, which is a feature track on the album - because musically it really defines where I am at the moment. The music is really a mixture in styles of modern jazz with singer-songwriter elements, and a lot of it is really soulful.
When I was recording it I drew on all the musical influences that I like, from James Morrisson to Amy Winehouse to Duffy and Micheal Buble - but it's really my own sound and I'm really pleased with it. It's out on the 20th October.
I'm really proud of the album and I've worked really hard at it so I hope yous all are gonna feel the same!
I've been waiting to tell you all about it for ages!
Hope you're all doin well, I'll write again next week!
Lots of love
Leon

A few more answers to your questions:
Hi Rosy - Kylie Minogue was really lovely and it was amazing performing with her.
To Louissa - My favourate person in Heroes is Hayden Panettiere. She is sooo sexy! I got to see her at the Glamour Awards a few months ago and she looked amazing!
Gemma - it's absolutely amazing and comforting to know people are behind me and supporting me so thanks.
Hey - I'm not Mark Smith on Facebook, all of you who was askin that.
I want to say a big hello to everyone I met on holiday, it was fab, especially Emily Lambert and family, thanks for your support.
This weekend, you can get a bit of a taster of Leon’s new look plus one of his first in-depth interviews pre-album release as he’s featured in the Daily Mail’s Weekend supplement tomorrow, Saturday 23rd August.
Alternatively, head on over to Photos to check it all out in advance.
I had a pretty busy week last week - more shoots and going into Sony and listening to the latest mixes of the music and talkin through the album tracks and choosing photos for the cover. I've just finished writin my 'thanks' for the album which was really surreal - he he!
I can't believe X factor is back again - this time last year I was in bootcamp! I think Cheryl is amazin and its good to see how they are all getting on! I feel so nervous for everyone on there now - I know exactly what they must all be going through and its really scary but exciting at the same time for them. I wanna watch a few more episodes before I talk about it too much- I'm hooked now the show is back on though!
I'm still making up my mind about album titles - I've got a few favorites but I'll decide while I'm on holiday this week and let you know when I'm back. I'm away this week having a break before it gets even busier so ill write as soon as I'm back.
love yous
Leon

PS
Thought I'd try and answer a few more questions too for yous...
Danielle – what do you do in your spare time?
Leon - I do loads of different things Danielle- going out of course with mates but if im at home I love playing guitar, chillin out and playin computer, I've just bought Heroes Boxset too - and I love that! I really like taking photographs because I did photography at college.
Webby – what do u think of Cheryl Cole being the new judge? Do you think Sharon Osbourne was better?
Leon - I love Cheryl she is so funny and really genuine and honest and of course stunning! I think she will make a great mentor too. I really liked Sharon too - they are so different you can't compare them in that way I don’t think.
Jess – What’s Michael buble really like do you find it weird hearing your own voice when you sing?
Leon - Michael is really great guy and its always so good to catch up with him. He's been so supportive of me all through the show and still now. Sometimes it’s a bit crazy when I hear a song back or walk into Sony and they are playing the music, I have to remind myself its me.
Charlee – do you like living in London?
Leon - Hi Charlee - I love living in London, I do miss home occasionally but I know I need to be here for work for now. I go back and see everyone when I can. I like exploring in London and theres loads of new things to do.
Ingrid – If you wern't a singer what would you be?
Leon - I'd be an architect definitely.
Elle – What do you miss most about Scotland?
Leon - I'd say probably my friends, my mum and my gran are people I miss most elle
Emmie – Who are your favourite singers (apart from buble lol)?
Leon - Hey Emmie, I like loads of different singers Emmie - James Morrison, Paulo Nutini, and Ben Harper I just started listening to and his music I really like.

Are we really expected to beleive that Leon actually takes the time to enter into his blogs. Its either most likely a crazed fan behind a mask or some PR rep

Heyyyyyyy!
Just read that you are going to be reading all the fans comments and just wanted to take the oppertunity to tell you how great I think you are! Seriously, you're a star
hope you can write back
Saw that you're going to be looking at these comments yourself and hopefully replying to a lot of them! Just wanted to say i think you're absolutely amazing! I love your voice and think you are incredibly talented . I'm from Glasgow myself and dream of being a singer too . I rooted for you all the way through your XFactor journey and watching you win really inspired me and showed me that it can be done even if you are from a small place. Can't wait for your album to come out! I'm dying to hear all your new songs! I'd absolutely love to meet you one day and hope that it will be one day soon.
Hope you can write back .
