			On the Xtra Factor Ben asked Simon if he thought Leona was better than Kelly Clarkson he didn't answer but said something along the lines of he would prefer working with Leona. Which of these two do you like best?

			This thread is a debate not a fight so hopefully people can be adult enough to keep it that way and not throw toys out of the pram if people disagree with their own opinion  People should respect others opinions thats what debating is all about. | ||

			Both have amazing voices. It's hard to choose either.

			I agree with that but in time she will be more at ease with it all. I am sure she will turn diva soon enough aswell and demand certain flowers and chocolates in her rooms lol.

			Thats one reason I personally don't like her...I would of liked her to sing more upbeat songs rather than sticking safe each week. I hope Simon gives her a few decent songs...if she does covers or slow songs I think he isn't getting the most out of her. Be interesting to see if Simon is after fast cash and she gets a few years in the music industry or he works slow and careful with her & she really makes herself the next big thing.

			You know what... for once you and I agree....... I think she has been singing far too many safe songs. Apart from lady marmalade I cant remember her singing an upbeat song. She's young and needs to keep things fresh and new. if she goes down the ballad/cover route then your right, she will have a sell by date

			I think her main thing is to show people what she is about, get away from the Mariah/Whitney/Christina style and be herself. At the moment I see her as a "copycat" and always in the shadows of other artists that we currently have in the industry, sounds childish but I don't think she has made any single song her own during the show and fair dues it must be hard when doing someone elses song but I want to see new songs and see what she is about now she has won. I don't know what the die hard Leona fans think of what route she should now take but I think if she wants to be big she must put her stamp and do new songs. Plus seeing her move a little would be good to see or atleast hire some dancers which is more likely to entertain in the background if she is uncomfy dancing. | ||

| Jolly good | 
			
			To be honest I can't see anyone from these shows being a major success any more. Shayne Ward didn't do all that well last year, did he? 400,000 albums sold or something. Good amount but only on the back of big TV exposure. | |||

			Your right in saying that she has really made a song her own. I really do look forward to seeing how she does in a new song...... makes it her own... only then will we find out the new Leona

			Kelly!!! Leona is only at the begining of her career though so it's kinda unfair to compare, but I'm a huge Kelly fan, so her.

			Leona. Don't know why there is all these comparing to Leona things. Leona is gonna be a successful star. America is going crazy after her. I prefer Leona so much more. Kellys voice to me isn't anything special. She doesn't touch me with her voice, and I've never felt emotional during one of her performances. I do like her. Leona is her own person though, she shouldn't be compared to others. | ||
