The Official Leona Lewis Thread

I just think the relation of the two needs to stop. It was interesting to compare them at first, but now it's just getting really old. They're different artists and people should be able to appreciate both on their own. Leona may not have written anything on her album (besides co writing Whatever It Takes), but she certainly makes up for that with her performance. If Mariah is saying that Leona isn't a singer because she doesn't write her own material or for whatever other reason, then she's sorely mistaken. Last time I checked, Leona was a singer, and a damn good one at that. I love how Mariah can appreciate rappers that have crap for talent but can't appreciate someone who can actually sing.

I loved it cuz it was funny that she is such a diva. But where did Mariah say that because Leona doesn't write her own stuff that she isn't a singer? And please reread the article, I don't see Mariah referring to her by name. She's talking about all the singer that have come out and been compared to her, but none of them have ever maintained their initial success (Christina, Kelly). I really think it sucks that people have to compare them. There's room in the music industry for more than one amazing vocalist.

And my source is the New York Daily News.
