Alesha is the Dark Horse she now has ALOT of support and she could suprize alot of people, However I think Leona will have the No.1 out of the other 4!

I think Britney will get it but agree Alesha will be a dark horse. Leona isn't in the top 10 most requested on the video channels but Brit's, Beyonce and Alesha are. Christina's video comes out today.

Forgive Me has been around too long and people are sick of it. The video's been on the net since August.

soo...? doesnt change a single thing! it makes it an advantage for leona because people are watching her video on youtube and it has already hit a million. If i am completely honest i think leona will take it, then Britney, or maybe Britney will be no 1 but will then be overtaken by Leona, whatever the outcome is, i believe the chart battle is truely between Leona and Britney.

But people are sick of Leona's song. Radio One still have it on c list. That's one play a day! Compared to Britney and Beyonce who are A List and on several.

I think Hero will be No.1 for a second week with Leona at 2.

Leona is acually B List on Radio 1. she has been tere for a few weeks now..

5 30 Britney Spears Womanizer
6 3 Leona Lewis Forgive Me
7 4 Sugababes Girls
8 8 Girls Aloud The Promise
9 12 Kanye West Love Lockdown
10 7 Ne-Yo Miss Independent

That's what i think too...

none of them will make it to #1 as the X factor song will keepp its #1 spot...

Leona #2
Aleasha #3
Britney #4
Beyonce #5

Yep agree with that. If it's true that Hero's selling like hotcakes this week, more than the rest of the top 5 combined I've heard, then it'll surely hold on next week.

Isn't Britney number 1 in the USA?

That's normally a sign that she'll also do it over here.

1 Britney Spears.
2 Beyonce Knowles.
3 Leona Lewis.
4 Christina Aguilera.

Britney gets my vote
Then Christina
Then Beyonce
Then Leona.

Unfortunately Leonas song sounds like a cast off from Javine. And the video looks so awkward for her, why not give her a song more suited to her, or are we going to be given themed singles from her cos she's from X-Factor. The Next one will be Big Band Themed no doubt.

Cast off from Javine? LOL. You say that as if she has had lots of hits. She's a nobody. What's wrong with a song being different from previous releases? If Leona did ballad after ballad no doubt people would complain.

Britney's song sounds like a cast off from Blackout to me. In fact I preferred all her other singles from that era to Womanizer. Christina's sounds like a cast off from Goldfrapp. Beyonce's is decent though.

Well in order of favourites, for me ...

1) Beyonce
2) Leona
3) Britney
4) Christina

I do truly love Beyonce's

BUT I realise she doesn't really have a chance of getting to #1. So Leona for me.
Britney'll probably do it though.

It sounds like a bad mix of Real Thing and Surrender Your Love. Better In Time was less ballady and was good, and some album tracks are better than forgive me, Best you never had, for example.

I think Womanizer is weaker than some Blackout songs definetely, but re-releasing a Blackout song would be a step backwards and a blackout cast off is still pretty damned good. As is a Goldfrapp cast off, although its more like lady gaga which is also not a bad thing.

Beyonces is like a weaker ciara song, still good though. I think Forgive Me is the weakest, which is unfortunate since Leona could normally easily compete equally with the other 3, its the track rather than her that is the problem. I have to say aswell, she looks so awkward in the video which is reassuring to me as it seems she isn't some RnB Diva who would be comfortable in the video and hasn't changed. I like that about her.

You must remember this is from the ironically-named Gordon Smart.

I'd go along with that too....

Not a fan of either of these artists, but, I hope Leona wins cos she's British.

Leonas song is good but i finde it annoying it doiesnt suit her and to me its like she thinks she is the bomb because she has cracked america. Chrisitina song is great very 80's but i havbet heard alot of people saying thats they will buy ect. Beyonces song is rubbish it sounds the same as previous songs

The song was recorded before she cracked America though. It's simply her trying something new and going with a fun, uptempo song to show a different side.

are you sure? i swear akon produced it?

He did, it was recorded around February time. Bleeding Love didn't get to #1 in the States until March and she didn't release her album until April.

i think leonas song is ok but it isnt great

WHAT?

I work at a commercial radio station and in the press notes that came with Aguilera's new single it says :"Christina's new Goldfrapp inspired single".

It seems as though (like Madonna and Kylie before her) it was deliberate.
