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

Nominations mean nothing either, it's about winning

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.

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 with christina aguleria. u saw how bad rebecca was

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.

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.
