Alexandra - You Are So Beautiful

15 Nov 08

Best of British: Alexandra has had a wild week, visiting her home and getting some unexpected attention. But has that distracted her this week, or will she still be able to deliver her classic belter performance?

blisss. My criteria for judging any vocal performance is goosebumps, and Leona and Alex both make me prickle. I'm male 52yo and I have a thing for female vocalists, going right back to Shirley Bassey in the 60's up to the present day. Leonas 'run,' was the best 5 minutes of my life so far. I choked with emotion.

You are so right factor x, it's soo unfair to compare. I agree! They are on two entirely different levels. That's why I do feel bad even stating the things I've said. But that is why I said the comparism was 'absurd' to begin with.

Leona is/was always amazing. On the xfactor she's always had that strong spiritual affect on the people. Alexandra does not move me in the same light. I hate to say it but it's true. And this isn't something she's achieved over time. This is something I honestly believe she was born with. It's kind of true, you either have it or you don't. I'm not saying Alex cannot sell records. I think she'd have a great fanbase but having the same "effect" as someone like Leona ? Totally diff level.

Leona/Alex, Alex/Leona. Who's the best? There's only one way find out............ FIIIGHT! Seriously though it's unfair to compare. Leona is something rare, hugely talented with an enormous vocal range and now the benefit of experience. Alex doesn't have the consummate skill of Leona but never the less she is extremely good, and in 2 yrs from now, after winning this competition she may well be a more fulfilled and accomplished performer than she is now.

hey bliss listen Leona won the xfactor 2 years ago and she has improved so much since then, Alexandra is still out there trying 2 win, the difference between her and Leona is that she has more confidence than Leona did when she was in the xfactor, Leona never realised hw gd she was, comparing Alexandra 2 Leona is a joke, simply coz Leona is better coz she has won xfactor and been successful ever since and i believe Alexandra will b 2

And for people to compare her to Alex is absurd. There is no comparism when I listen to Alex sing that I ever thought Leona. And for anyone who has, that just blows my mind. We must not be watching the same Leona who just performed an outstanding # from snow patrol. I've said this b4 and I'll say it again. Alex hasn't found herself yet, and it shows. Leona has. :) And it's true. That's the reason why Laura left this competition. Great voices! but it can't be just a voice.

I didn't like this song either. It was actually awful. Who picked it, her mom? Alex has yet to prove to me that she has the xfactor. Amazing voice but that's all I see is a voice. Her style of singing never changes from song to song and always falls flat. Actually the only performance that stuck was the Whitney Houston preformance. Which honestly doesn't say much. If Alex did pick a Leona song, we'd might actually believe her.
