Leon Jackson vs Peter Kay

Posted Fri 17 Oct 2008 2:10PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
The gloves are off in an epic chart battle which sees X Factor winner Leon Jackson going head to head with comedian Peter Kay in the race to the top of the singles chart. Leon's single Don't Call This Love is up against Peter Kay's X-Factor send-up, The Winner's Song, written by Gary Barlow.

According to reports, this week's running is extremely tight, with pop superstar Pink also in the frame to retain her current no.1 ‘Who Knew'. It is thought that there are only a few hundred sales separating the three acts.

Leon told the Daily Star: "My single has gone up to No 2 in the midweek charts. I'm so proud. If it stays in that position come Sunday I'll crack open the Irn-Bru and do a little dance around the living room."

Peter Kay and Gary Barlow are also set to release a Chrismas single, Once Upon A Christmas Song, going head to head with the X-Factor once again.

Who do you think should win the chart battle? Watch the videos below and have your say.

65. sue -
Sad I know but I liked both of them. But if I had to call it I think Leon has the edge.

66. paul -
what can I say, Leon sounds like a girl and peter sounds like something else... having said that Peter's song is easier to listen to whilst Leon's is just about ok due to the video, take the video away and just use your ears and Leon's just average joe!!! no contest Peter Kay wins this time

67. Valerie -
Peter Kay song is brill. Hope all proceeds go to charity though!!! The Xfactor is really bad this year.

68. Jane -

The Leon Jackson song, sounds like something that Curtis Stigers did, back in the early '90's.
I still laugh, just thinking about the piss takes on Peter Kay's send up of the x factor, so to see him as Geraldine getting to number 1, won't be such a bad thing.

this song is crap

72. Dudley -
Definitely Peter Kay is much better.Leon Jackson will never make the big time,lucky to win the X-Factor.Rydian should have won it.After saying that,"Miracles" do happen sometimes.

73. Mazzer -
I do so hope Peter Kay gets number one! I really hate X Factor. Even the previous winners save releasing their singles/albums until X factor time, so that they can get the extra publicity. We haven't had a decent Christmas number one for years, because the X factor winner always gets it! Also, Simon Cowell is far too powerful now, and needs taking down a peg or two!

Whos Leon Jackson never erd of im.
Peter Kay for PM he`s the greatest!

75. Claire -
All of you who prefer Peter kay's song are nuts.

And there is nothing wrong with Leon's teeth. You can't bloody punish him cause he hasn't got perfect teeth. Peter kay isn't even funny for godsake. He just looks like an idiot dressed as a woman. Seriously if you all want peter kay to get number 1 you's should get a grip. Music is going completly down the tubes these days.

LEON ALL THE WAYYYY!

78. John -
ok found it on you tube, another rubbish song from Gary Barlow, its not in the least bit funny. ERE Hello since when did Gary Barlow do jokes.
Give me Pink any day

Emma r, you must have missed some of the spoof show, if you didn't find it funny.
The bit where Rick Astley was singing with 2 up 2 down, and the woman fell out of the wheelchair, and Rick tried to lift her up, and groping her tits, was priceless.

Peter Kay - no brainer
