I don't think it's actually him. Not for a second.

Also, are the guest performers given "song choices"? Seems a bit odd. Surely the point of their segment was to just sing their most well known or most recent hits as alumni of the show. Leona isn't under the thumb of Syco anymore I believe.

Leona's meant to still be friends with Simon though and probably thought that she was doing him a favour helping out a new Artist whilst getting her own career restored so probably did anything that Simon asked her to.

And of course Simon doesn't have full control over his show, however not many producers are gonna wanna mess with Simon Cowell considering he has so many connections over every Showbiz angle it's unreal.
