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.

People are so shallow, who cares about his teeth when he has a voice like that?
But anyway, both songs are growing on me, don't really get Peter Kay in drag though, he just looks like a fat fat fat version of sharon osborne!

Peter Kay just cracks me up even when he is not been funny. My money is on Peter.

128. Yahoo! Music User -

Forget the music. The grammer and spelling from these people is awful!
Rather than listening to music I suggest they take an English course.

i was quite looking forward to Peter Kay's 'mick-take', but really it could quite easily of passed for the real thing. so, they are both rubbish.

136. Andy -
oooooooo all are cheesey hmmmmmm i could do with a slice of cheese on Toast XD

137. Yahoo! Music User -
Peter Kay, the programme itself was hilarious (although the ending had rather a dark twist) .

138. Ivan -
Peter Kay, at least he can almost sing in tune - something Leon can't manage!!! Plus Peter Kay has a personality - Leon hasn't!!!

139. Stephen -
Why r people critisizing his teeth? :S Its about the song not the looks! If Leon didn't come the way through X Factor but just appeared on the scene not as many people would not like him! The Peter Kay song is just ... well MINCE! Better songs out there and Leon has been proffesional by sayin he would be happy if it stays at number 2! And again will people stop slaggin their teeth because noone is perfect!
