Leona better than Mariah
After Mariah's robotic fairly poor performance last week, leona's performance tonight was like a breath of fresh air.
I doubt many of the current "top" females would want to perform on the same bill as leona. She must be the top female singer at present. |

I had goosebumps when Leona sang. She is an absolutely fantastic singer so totally perfect every single note was perfection.
She really is amazing. And she was equally amazing when she was a contestant. I don't think there's many could outdo Leona for singing. |

Leona is great - I happened not to love her song tonight, but she still outshone Mariah by a country mile.

Leona's better vocally than Mariah IMO and a lot more likeable too.

Leona also sang live, unlike that spaced-out wax-doll Mariah Carey.
(Still, when she was Leona's age they were probably on an even level.) |

Once again, none of you are making a fair comparison
Shouldn't you be comparing early Mariah with current Leona ?

It's not really fair to compare them since Mariah is a lot older. When she was Leona's age, Mariah was phenomenal, imo.
Leona's performance was stunning tonight though, gave me goosebumps. |

I think now she is regarded as just a superb singer in her own right. Whether she is somewhat less than comfortable showing her" personality".... chatting in front of the cameras, bleating out the latest sob story, like the usual contestant does not matter any more. |She is a true artist, enjoy the music for what it is, watch the show for what it is.

Totally agree. The personality thing is wearing a bit thin now - we all know America loves to see a bit of personality... and since people over here think she has none, I have no idea how she got to number one in America and has already become a household name over there

What does Mariah have that Leona doesn't... a big fat zero that's what.
Leona's voice is equal to Mariah's, probably better. Leona is as attractive as Mariah, probably better. Leona's attitude is 100 per cent better than Mariah's. Leona's stage presence is equal or better to Mariah's. I'm not even a fan of Leona (which doesn't mean I don't recognise how good she is) but I can't see one positive thing that Mariah has that she doesn't. I've often thought that Leona is a bit bland, but Mariah is worse. |

Yep I agree. I love the old Mariah her voice back in the 90's was gorgeous but I think Leona has taken the crown. Her voice is just stunning, Run gave me goosebumps last night.

Thought Leona was fab. Did I hear right that the song is on her new album? I recognise it but don't know who sang it originally.

You cannot compare a 23 year old Leona with a 40 year old Mariah.
You'd have to compare both when Mariah was also 23. Which was 1990 time. |

Leona was brilliant! an amazing singer, one of the best singers out there, IMO.
Mariah is 40 she looks about 20 lol.

Leona has a good voice but remember Mariah also writes or co-writes her own songs.
By the way Mariah was born in 1970 so she was 23 in 1993 at the time of Hero. |

Leona better than Mariah
I'm neutral about Leona but without doubt she is all round better Pariah! In addition, although to be honest, Leona doesnt have the personality of Beyonce, she can sing better than her too.

Dear God There Isn't Much To Choose Between Either Of Them. And I Don't Like Either Of Them.

Mariah was an amazing vocalist in her prime, but setting aside range and the technical rubbish, I think Leona is definitely better just for the fact a Mariah performance has never touched me, or had so much emotion as Leona's performance of 'Run' last night did.
