Leona can sing, but my god she is dull as dishwater. Alex has the voice, the attitude, the personality and the songs....

I like Leona but you're right she's a bit dull. She has the voice but nothing else, which is a shame because she is one of the best singers we have today.

Alexandra is full of fire and is clearly the R'N'B/Dance act to even out against Leona's ballads. Two totally different X Factor winners is good for the show.

JLS however have the POTENTIAL but if they're going to have more songs like Everybody In Love then they're just going to be another cheesy boyband.

I do think Ruth Lorenzo and Diana Vickers will be the ones to watch, though.

But is formulaic like every other type of artist in that genre.

I agree. Used to love Leona but I wouldn't be able to stay awake if I went to see her on tour. Alexandra has an excellent voice is also capable of moving around the stage. AND she comes across as having a personality.

aside from ruth, diana and JLS, yes.

Oh yeah - she's nothing groundbreaking or original. She just shines for me - I'd like to see her break free from SyCo.

I know it's horses for courses, but found Diana Vickers irritating beyond belief - all barefeet, faux hippy with the voice of a foghorn running out of power.
I liked Ruth though

What about Chico? Was he X-Factor or one of the other ones?

x factor.

he wasn't from alexandra's series, though.

I think both Leona & Alexandra are the best things to come out of the X-Factor. Love them both

I WANT to like Leona - by all accounts I should being a Mariah and Whitney fan...there's just something about her that doesn't click with me

Alex's attitude and personality actually put me off her at times. She's just too much sometimes and it's very jarring. I personally prefer Leona's songs by far too.

Leona is the better singer imo, I adore her.
