He's right she's far more versatile than Leona. Strange because Simon initially claimed she lacked originality.

That's his opinion, although he likes Leona he might have different expectations and opinions on Alexandra.

Simon lives up Leona's ass. He would never say that about her, especially when he knows how nice of a girl she is and considering she's signed to his label.

It isn't that bad of a comment, but I just can't see him saying it about Leona.

I hope Alexandra does have bigger success than Leona, she's more versatile and has a better voice in my opinion.

Considering she's just broken a record which Leona held before her, she has a very bright future ahead of her. They just need to get her debut album right now.

Artists like her are in big demand in America at the moment, and I expect Simon will make sure she gets there. She'll probably be recording her album there anyway.

I dont think she'll have any problems breaking America. I think they'll love her over there. She'll be appearing on Oprah or somethig like that very soon.

EDIT: According to her Wiki page Fiddy cent has expressed an interest in working with her.

Yeh because there was 14million viewers watching x factor.

There has never been that before. It was failry obvious it was going to happen. I Think she will do really really well, but as for better than leona, i don't reckon.

I agree i also think leona naturally has more talent and pushing her aside will make her end up leaving his record label.

Leona doesnt need Simon anymore, she'd do fine without him, Simon is only thinking about the next big thing, and that is Alexandra

I think Alex and Leona will be be around in like 5 years time, still selling Albums/singles ect, they have the voice, you could give them anything and they would be able to sing it, these two both have so much talent, two of the best singers out there.

How did Alex copy Leona?
That's like saying Leona copied Mariah Carey, or Leon Jackson copied Michael Buble.

Barely anyone's unique anymore, definitely no-one off the x-factor anyway.

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

Then I guess Leona copied off Steve and Shayne too?
