Just for winning The X Factor? That's not copying

Then I guess Leona copied off Steve and Shayne too?
I didn't say she copyed her just for winning

Alexs is far better than Leona, In my eyes.

I am not denying Leona has a fab voice, but i feel Alex is more versatile and who also has a fab voice and actually has a personality.

Well you didn't actually say what she copied, to be fair...



Simon's right though, Leona's got an incredible voice but she's been typecast as a ballad singer. Alexandra's very versatile.

See I think both Leona and Alex could sing anything given to them, Leona even sung an Opera song! I am not buying comparing them two, they are both different, both could sing anything, both will have a massive carrer a head of them.

This 'versatile' thing is a misnomer......it's ok to be versatlie if you're excellent at each. Alex is very good, but when Beyonce sang there was a definite class gap. Ok, it's Beyonc'e song I know.
If Cowell really wants to put them up against each other (and so far alex has said only nice things about leona), he is running the risk of losing leona long term.

On t'other hand, this constant comparison thing could work in Leona's favour. It keeps her in the media's attention here, when she's out recording in america or wherever. I'm sure Mr. Cowell won't mind one bit as long as they are making money for him. I hope eventually Leona can get out of the Syco deal.
