I personally think Alex technically is much better than Leona.

Also Alex's debut is too commercial and too plastic. They could have done so much more but Simon played it safe.

I think technically though, talking in terms of facts, Leona blows Alexandra out of the water. Alexandra doesn't seem to sing properly to me and after her first performance of Listen in the live shows, as good as it was, it seemed to hurt her voice!

Much prefer Alex. But I don't really like either of them.

i dont like either of them, i cant stand the way they warble every song they sing with all kinds of vocal gymnastics - wots wrong with holding a note (mariah carey is just as bad)

out of all the versions of "without you" by far the best was the original by harry nilsson

That's your facts though. IMO Alex has much more control and her diction is much clearer than Leona's. Leona can blow, and her voice is more recognisable, but for me, Alex is better. *shrugs*

alex at least has a personality

leona is so wooden it must be difficult for her to decide whether to put on make-up or creosote

Technically speaking I think Simon Cowell has played me and you like an "old guitar".

Leona Lewis

Neither of them sorry - the original is the best one.

leona........

It's not my facts though, it's the correct way to sing. If they were both to sit singing examinations then Leona would recieve a better marking for technical ability therefore technically that would make her the better singer.

Leona for me.

think they are both vocally talented but when anyone starts warbling, i switch off.

prefer alex's voice tbh.

Leona for me too.

Do you ever sing it to Bandit?

Leona's the better singer, it's just a shame her songs are so shite.

Haven't heard Alex's new one yet.

Neither. Harry Nilsson does it best.

Leona anyday , Alex Burke is soooo overrated .

Singing has nothing to do with exams PP. It`s about feeling and soul, believing in the lyrics that your singing not just singing them to prove your vocal acrobatics.
Yes, Leona is probably "technically" better but imo it means nothing. Alexandra has that needed raw emotion in her voice and performance, which Leona definitely lacks.

I voted for both Leona & Alexandra

Although I really like Leona & think she deserves all the success she has had ..... I've never bought / downloaded, any of her music ...... I agree, she's very talented .... but her music / songs, are not really my cup of tea.

Alexandra on the other hand ............ I heard her new single the other morning on the Chris Moyles show .... some collaboration with Flo Rida, I believe. I wasn't overly struck ..... but her voice comes across beautifully imo ...... I think her ballads will be more my kind of thing ......... I'm looking forwards to hearing all of the tracks on her album, due for release in October

As for the 'Without You' song ........ Leona sang it better ...... but maybe that particular song was better suited to Leona's voice.

When Alexandra sang Listen .... Imo, she knocked spots off anything I've ever heard from Leona ..... Just my personal opinion of course
