Meh. No big Suprise. Shanye Ward got the christmas number 1 last year and Leona was the favourite to get the christmas number 1 this year anyway. hopefully she won't flop like the other winners.

Every competition winner gets #1 it was no big surprise at all, but I really wouldn't be surprised if she releases about 2 more songs then disappears from sight.

I wouldn't be suprised if she disappered after her next song. all of them last 2 0r 3 songs before you never see them again. But i like leona and i hope that she doesn't disapper.
