i do like alex, but cant be biased...cuz Leona is better
the question is realy easy...
Perfect lol, i completely agree. Alex is one talented girl but leona is just heads and tails better. she can go low to high a lot easier.

also i did just realise she does pause before she has to force out a lot of power.

I prefer Alex's voice.
I prefer Leona as a person (well how they both come across)

Leona has a unique voice and you wont get bored of listening to her.

Leona's voice is probably more pure in tone but Alex has proved she's a far better performer.

I suppose this comparison was always going to crop up. Firstly, congrats to alex for winning XF, and she deserved to. I don't remember Leona fans saying she was better than so-and-so when SHE won though. Only time will tell if Alex goes on to be as big, or a bigger, success.
Personally, I have always liked Leona. Her Number One 'covers', not written for her remember, prove that she IS versatile. There is a lot more to come too. There is a vulnerability about leona which is likeable........but
write Leona Lewis off at your peril!!

Deffinatley Alexandra for personality, as Leona is a robot
but they both have equaly great voices, but they have differant strong points.

I am getting SO ANNOYED! More than half of the people i know started watching the X Factor after the 3rd series when leona won, and they didnt see leona's jouney to becoming the winner which i believe was really special but alexandra is no where near as good as her and her jouney was just normal and ordinary - no one was able to spot a great star in her until soon the finals.

i agree i didnt see a lot of it but i saw parts or 3rd and 4th and only just watched proper this year, but you can just tell she is the best, shes different to everyone.

i agree but with Rachel from BB9 people had a right to call her boring.they had watched her every day for 13 weeks and she didnt entertain them,they though she was boring,thats their opinion.but people dont have the right to call Leona boring.the only time they see her is when shes on live TV in front of millions of people,how would they know if shes boring or has no personality?

As much as i love Alexandra my vote goes to Leona, she just has the most beautiful voice and i could just sit and listen to it all day, Alexandra sounds kind of raspy sometimes like she has a sore throat, but shes still amazing

You've.. just contradicted yourself :\

You can call anyone you want boring.
I might find Leona's performances boring, therefore she is boring because she doesn't excite me on stage, just how Rachel doesn't excite you in a house.
If you wanna dig even deeper, you could call her personality boring judging from interviews and tv shows she does, but I'm referring to the fact you've said people 'don't have the right to call Leona boring'.
Of course we do.
