I know this will probably have been posted about a million times, just found this video on the tube and was wondering about your views. (Obviously this vid is incredibly biased just wondered what you think!)

PS

Love them both, but I much prefer Leona. For me she is outstanding.

Why compare? They're completely different. Pointless.

because they sang the same song so it's worthy of comparison.

I think this is a more interesting comparison.

Alexandra sang 'I'll be there' better than Leona, and Leona sang 'Without You' much better than Alex. Alex always seemed to have poor breath control, especially on the last note in without you when compared to Leona.

I still think both are excellent at what they do and deserved to win.

Alex every time, even though it wasn't a perfect rendition. Leona's voice has always been like nails on a blackboard to me. And the other video with Leona and Mariah was just cruel - like shoving a lamb into the lion's den. Mariah eats her for breakfast.

I love both of them they both offer something very different to the song. To say Mariah ate Leona for breakfast too I wouldn't go that far but even if she had done - so what? Mariah is one of the if not the best pop vocalist of all time so thats nothing to be ashamed of - We should embrace and support these two great UK talents not forever compare them.

I don't really like the music of either of them, but as far as singing ability goes, they both have it in spades.

I understand why people compare the two though, but it is not really necessary, I expect they will take very different paths.

I wish them both success.

i love both, i think Alex has more attitude (in a good way) and more swagger, whereas i think leona's voice is much more unique and unusual - technically i think leona is the better vocalist, but alex does visual impact songs with dance routines etc. so its hard to compare - il be buying both their albums so its not like people can only like one lol!

Well I've never really was a fan of Alex's raspy voice. So Leona for me..

You have got to be joking, Leonas breath control is what will never make her as great of the best singers like Whitney. You never hear a natural singer taking deep breaths before big notes, just listen to some Leoan songs without bias Bleeding Love being a prime example

1 Million percent Alex cant stand Leona bores me to tears, maybe a god singer but sooooooo boring... turn off the radio every time

They are both excellent, why cant people just leave it at that

More importantly they are both DIFFERENT! when will the comparisons end?

That was not perfect performance by Leona at all. You could hardly hear her at the start. She was not that great in other parts in the song as well. She has improved.

I think i have to say i prefer Alex's version.

Arggh I hate threads like this because Alex fans take it out on Leona, and vice versa. They are both great, and will have long and successful careers.

I wouldn't say I am a fan of either of them and I generally much prefer deeper voices to higher ones so I would expect to prefer Alex over Leona.
However, I can't say I do. For me, Leona has a much better vocal ability even though I do think Alex has talent.

Why do so many people compare the two? I know it frustrates their fans that it happens but they are similar to many people, that much seems clear and consequently get compared to each other.

It is possible for both to suceed in the industry and both are doing well so obviously they are both appreciated by music buyers.

This is only my personal opinion but for me Leona has an individuality which Alex lacks so I would expect Leona to have more chance of longevity but as I say, just my take on it.

Well I'm a fan of both of them. More of Leona but really like Alex too.

It's pointless to compare them. Alexandra has a more soulful, raw voice whereas Leona has that immense range and gorgeous softness to her voice. I think it sounds soft even when she's belting it out.

I like both of their voices equally. Think they're both immensely talented and both deserved to win. Leona is a sweet, humble girl with a more timid personality which is REFRESHING (not boring) nowadays. You see too many big-headed half-naked women at the moment. Alexandra has a bit of attitude and she's really chatty, which goes really well with her style.

So yeah, both fab artists to me

That video is so biased it's unbelievable.

They address Leona by name and Alex by 'burke'. It shows blatant disrespect. It's also hilarious how they think Alex's performance needed a clip of Cheryl in it.

It really wasn't Leona or Alex's best vocal. But I think Alex's edges it just because of how the beginning is so obviously out of Leona's range. Alex didn't bite off more than she can chew.

But Mariah's version is better than both of their's put together: Alex can't hit the high notes and even Leona struggles with it. Mariah sang it in full chest voice, whereas Leona's was more of a mix of chest and head voice, which made it sound a bit weak.

i prefer alex, but why compare them, its getting boring now zzzzz

Lol the video is so biased and they actually both went out of key. I don't see the constant need for comparisson but on this performance I'd say alex simply because her voice is completley different to mariah's so she brought something a bit different to it, rather than others who have performed the song like leona and Kelly, whose voices sound more like Mariah's but their versions lacked in comparisson. However Mariah's was in a different league to both of them.

Alexandra is the full package, as she has shown both on the xfactor series and now after, Leona IMO does not come close. Agreed, they are different but one leaves me exhillerated, the other leaves me cold. Personal tastes will always differ.

I'm not a fan of alexandra. I love leona.

they are both good but prefer alexandra

leona!
love her... alex is great though

Alex all the way !
