I also find it very hard to believe that Cowell would line anyone up on XFACTOR-particularly one that he is associated with, to promote a 'present'-but he didn't did he because it wasn't free.
If it was intended as a gift then it should have been 'free'-it was'nt intended as 'gift' because 'free' equals ineligible for a chart placing. I am not sure who came up with this 'present' nonsense, but perhaps its either 'hype' or just an excuse in the event of poor performance .
Has it not crossed anyone's mind that Leona seems now to be treading the same path as Shayne Ward in her handling by SYCO?
In her defence, she would be best getting dropped by Cowell and then re-establishing her career. She is not going to be the next Mariah, she was never going to be. That was just the usual Cowell rubbish.
She should look to someone like Beverley Knight as an example. She does'nt have huge commercial success, but she is known, she is well respected and in the main she does what she wants to do (although Beverley does have a huge personality and stage presence which Leona I am afraid does not)”

Leona does have a stge presence. It's people like you that have probably never been to one of her shows create this stigma. I have never seen bev but I have heard her covers (yes covers and people criticise Leona for having too many) an they ain't exactly Affrojack style are they?
