Rebecca was more boring than Leona.

[Beastie]

Rebecca.. yes she had a good jazzy type voice.

However most of her performances on the X Factor left me bored apart from the 1 or 2 upbeat songs she did!

Leona moved more than Rebecca. I remember when Leona did a bit of dancing while singing Lady Marmalade song.

I couldn't real "connect" with Rebecca. Nice girl but boring.

[Tom4784]

Just because she didn't dance around like a performing monkey didn't she was boring, she was a whole lot more versatile then the creature that eventually won it.

[Mystic Mock]

i agree with you op as i never felt like leona was singing the same song every week,the only time i thought rebecca didnt sound the same was with the annie lennox song.

[johnx]

Lets face this year's crew were pants generally speakin.Matt didnt have much to beat-Rebecca would just have been another winner off the Leona Lewis production line-dullsville.One Direction-obviously Cowells desperate attempt to over-hype them failed as they picked up a pathetic 12% of the vote.Had the audacity to call them the best pop band in Britian after 2 performances!

[Jamietwo]

rebecca grew on me over time....didn't like her voice at all at first...my favorites of hers was that one that was like a clubbing track and the one where she was on the high up podium thing with four homosexuals turning it around

[cub]

If I want to see dancing I'll watch the BBC show.

For me it's the voice and the song choice.

I actually thought the last 4 were the four that most people would have predicted would get there, give or take a Mary or a Katie 'wildcard'.
The final didn't quite hit the heights I was expecting. But then looking at previous last 4's I still think that, bias apart, this was probabaly the best. Love Leona, but she beat Ray Quinn for goodness sake!! Only the Alexandra final compared, and she had that useless Irish kid behind her in third :spin:
As for Rebecca, she can learn to prance a bit. BUT You can't teach someone who can't sing to sing!!

It's a singing competition, if you want to see them dance flick to BBC, she was the most versatile singer and was robbed

[Stacey.]

Leona is actually versatile though, more than Rebecca and has a better voice. Just like her more in general really

Two albums and she's done one uptempo number, not really what I'd call versatile

[Mystic Mock]

leonas done forgive me and outta my head?:conf: i wonder how many uptempos you will be able to say rebeccas done if she does two albums?

[fruit_cake]

Leona has had a lot more time to get better though it's been a few years now.. maybe Rebecca will improve too

[bbfan1991]

Good singer with the jazzy voice, lovely girl but if she wants to shoot a musc video will have to at least learn some choreography and move, she just seemed to lack some charisma but didn't bore the hell out of me like Leona but then again I couldn't stand her anyway:blush:.

[Zippy]

Not every artist has to be a dazzling personality. If their voices and their music touch you or move you in a certain way then that is enough.

Rebecca has a voice that I would want to listen to on certain downlow occasions. Like Sade. But she also as a voice that could sound great on dance records. Her voice is her personality as far as her music goes.

There are tons of very successful artists that have dull personalities.

[alc09]

The standard was very poor this year - shown by One Direction and Cher making the last 4.

I think it's been a fairly poor 2010 for reality tele - Big Brother was awful, X-factor and I'm a Celeb didn't live up to expectations for me.

[Smithy]

leonas done forgive me and outta my head?:conf: i wonder how many uptempos you will be able to say rebeccas done if she does two albums?

Ma bad, she's done two albums and two uptempo numbers, one which wasn't even originally gonna be released, and rebecca's already done uptempo ;)

I've seen Leona in concert and she is fab!

But Rebecca did 3 uptempo songs on xf alone, and there is a dance track of hers on google that she did before xf......no, this is just a ruse to get people to dismiss a real talent, which was SOOOOOO obvious at her first audition. It ain't gonna work.....so change the record. :nono:

BTW.....how much prancing around did MATT DO?

[MeMyselfAndI]

Just because she didn't dance around like a performing monkey didn't she was boring, she was a whole lot more versatile then the creature that eventually won it.

lmao rebecca is **** have you heard her voice. leona > rebecca. tell me when rebecca sells 10 million album sales

[MeMyselfAndI]

lmao how can you even compare rebecca and leona.

rebecca with christina aguleria. u saw how bad rebecca was

[Smithy]

lmao rebecca is **** have you heard her voice. leona > rebecca. tell me when rebecca sells 10 million album sales

Let her release an album fgs :rolleyes:

[MeMyselfAndI]

lulz smithy she isn't gunna have a debut album selling 7.5 million is she :rolleyes:
hmm not many people do infact! Rebecca just stood there everyweek and whailed on

[Smithy]

You don't know what she's gonna do, the only reason Leona did so well was because of Bleeding Love in America

Give her a chance, likelihood she'll be very successful in the US because they love acts like; Amy, Adele & Duffy, which is the niche she fits into

lul adele has 2.5million album sales (her debut album). leonas had 7.5million (her debut album). so you could argue the US prefure acts like leona :love:

[Smithy]

Yea, but what did Leona's second album do in america? lulz

I could say they prefure leona, but prefure isn't a word, so I won't lulz

[MeMyselfAndI]

what #13 thats good if you think about it. and poor lead single choice, but still sold 2.5m worldwide, which is what adeles debut album did lul

[Smithy]

Riding off the success of her first album though...

And Adele's debut won 2 grammy's so clearly quality wise Adele >> Leona

[alc09]

Smithy in talking sense shocker.

MeMyselfandI, are you male?

[Mystic Mock]

people are snobby when it comes to x factor contestants so of course leona wasnt gonna win 2 grammys.

yeah and leona has been nominated for 3 or 4 grammys, her quality is not unrecognised

[MeMyselfAndI]

People who won American Idol have won Grammys, I don't see how it's any different

Because America Idol

Leona had to win the hearts of america, and make it big and its so hard in the words of sharon osbourne. where as american idol are known by americans

[Smithy]

yeah and leona has been nominated for 3 or 4 grammys, her quality is not unrecognised
Adele's been nominated for 5
Nominations mean nothing either, it's about winning
Because America Idol

That's total bollocks, it's about the quality of the music when it comes to the awards, not where the artist is from

[MeMyselfAndI]

yeah and thats why leona is nominated for a grammy this year yet she has 'flopped' this year with 2.5m album sales with echo, what adele has achieved with her debut, and leona had 2 singles. and yet leona sang for the BIGGEST film ever. Err.. no flop to me.

stalker + fan = stan

as in the eminem video/song.

[Tom4784]

Leona and Matt are from similar schools of singing, with them it's all about the big flashy notes and moments and the rest of the performance suffers for it. Rebecca's more well rounded and versatile, she could actually do an uptempo song instead of ballad after ballad like Leona's done. Hell before the ballads and X Factor came along Rebecca was releasing Dance Music.

I've said it a few times but Rebecca's voice for me trumps both of them, it's deeper and it's got more nuances to it and she doesn't need to rely on high notes to make a song work since she can keep a hold of an audience without resorting to vocal acrobatics. Matt & Leona's voices are pretty but there's nothing to them.

Rebecca was singing the song beautifully until Miss Piggy came on and started her loud sqwuaking. Oversinging every bloody word.

Rebecca taught her how the song should be sang...with subtlety and class.

[Lewis.]

I don't think that either of them are boring in any way, they just aren't very controversial. That's probably a good thing though, they're probably nicer people.

I've had a look at those demo's from Rebecca and they're amazing. At first I wanted her to go into the kind of style that Duffy and Adele seem to have gone into, but after hearing those demo's I definitely think that dance music is for her. Her voice works really well with that up-tempo beat.
