After listening to Leona`s debut album...her voice really is similiar to Mariah....and she excells on the ballads like Mariah....After listening to Alexandra ...she sounds rich like Whitney and she excells on the uptempo numbers... we have so much to be proud of ...as Britain really does have the two best vocalists around right now!

If it isn't Whitney Vs. Mariah, it's Leona Vs. Alexandra...

This thread wraps it up and gives you both

That's obviously a joke, right?

Leona and Alex vaguely remind me of Mariah and Whitney... But neither Leona or Alex are yet up there with them. Maybe in a few years, but not yet.

Whitney and Mariah are possibly the best vocalists ever.

I have to disagree with alot of what you said

Leona's voice is nothing like Mariah's at her peak. Mariah high end belting notes have a far more open and fuller sound, compared to Leona, who has a more closed and much thinner sound. Mariah's lower range is more controlled and "useful" than Leona's.

Mariah excells on both uptempo and ballads, it's just that she's famous for ballads

Alexandra's voice is nowhere near as clear as Whitney's, and Whitney's general tone is alot more warmer.

Having said that, Leona is one hell of a vocalist! Alexandra is a good singer too, although I'm just not a fan. However in my opinion, neither of them will EVER come close to the vocal standards set by Mariah or Whitney in the 90s.

I'd say it went Mariah>Whitney>Leona>Alex. I love them all, although Whitney to a lesser extent.
I love both Leona and Alex's voices, however just watching a past Mariah performance it's clear that neither of them have the power or presence that she had, or that Whitney had.
