I think she is. I think Alexandra has much more clarity in her voice, her voice sounds stronger and it appears she has more control over it.

No way! Leona was a one off and is tons better then Alexandra! Leona's voice is out of this world and no other female singer can match it!

Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Leona and from what we've seen so far of Alexandra I'd say Leona just has that edge, but you're implying here that Leona is the best female singer ever, and that I'd have to disgaree with. Or did you mean something else and I'm missing the point?

Sam, you are terribly brave to ask that question here.

I think their styles are different for a start. Also, Leona won people over weeks and weeks...Alex is just starting.

I know what you mean about potential and I think Alex has tons of it. It's all about taste though, eh?

From what I've heard, I like Alex's style a bit more than Leona...whether she's more technically gifted, I dunno? It's far too early to say that Alex could never be as good as Leona.

But...it doesn't matter...it's whatever floats your boat. They're both very talented.

It's far too early to make this kind of judgement. We've not hear her sing one whole song yet, much less the variety of songs that Leona has performed successfully. Also, they have a different sound so direct comparisons are difficult.

Alexandra and Leona are nothing like each other. In terms of voice type they are poles apart.

I prefer Leona though.

She has a deeper tone if that's what you mean by stronger. But there is no way in which you can suggest that Leona has weaker control over her voice: she can modulate it within one syllable.

Leona has Alex beat in vocal terms but Alex is potentially great, I think I take to Alex’s personality better than Leona’s thought.

I love Leona but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Christina, Mariah and Whitney can and in some cases are better vocalists. Whitney when at her peak, is infact probably the best female vocalist in history

in leona's new single the little word 'me' is pronounced 'meh'. it is the only word i can make out.
the opening post is right.. diction is not one of leona's strong points..

Alexandra had a stronger bootcamp than Leona, and I think she can suprass Leona.

Bloody hell give the girl a chance to perform before saddling her with such huge expectations!

Does she have huge promise from what we've seen so far? Clearly yes. She also has the background with her mother's massive experience and contacts in the industry and her friendship with Joss Stone, plus her own experience gained through gigging with Soul Explosion.

She could be very, very good. But let her get there at her own pace as at the moment it is all talk - Leona walked the walk during the show and on countless occasions since.

If you look at Alexandras performances to date and judge them against Leona pre live shows performances from her series then imo Alexandra has been better but Leona really rose to the challenge of the live shows and was incredible from summertime onwards and i think it will be very hard for Alexandra to do better or even equal her but we should be in a better position to judge after tonights show.

leona has much better range and a much more rare voice and tone, so id say leona is better. Alexandra prob matches her in other aspects like power.

Theres tons of singers like alexandra on american idol, but leona still stands out over them.

No, she's not. After hearing her sing Beyonce's Listen I can say that without hesitation. She got hoarse by the end of that song. I'd like to see her pull off a real belter like All By Myself or I Will Always Love You.

I actually think potentially she is or could be. They both mirror shades of Whitney Houston and other singers with great ranges. Leona stands out because she is not a Diva, then again neither is Alexandra IMHO. I think it would have been interesting to have seen them on the same xfactor.

I'm not keen on either of them but, yes, I think Alexandra is probably better than Leona. She certainly has a stronger voice. I would rather listen to Laura any day, though.
