One music executive who watched her said: "It's like hearing the love child of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey."

Well done Miss Lewis. At last someone with actual talent getting their reward.

It'll be interesting to hear her first album. She's far from being the finished article but i think she'll be huge.

Who'd have thought Kylie would be bringing out the songs she is now when she first started? It might take Leona 10 years before she really begins to find out what she can do. That's fine by me, she has great talent, and is a credit to the British Music Industry.

I wouldn't really compare Leona to Kylie Minogue. One can sing and the other cannot.

I think we all might be surprised when her first album comes out. I very much doubt it'll have any covers on it. Her voice is also adaptable and i doubt she's just another 'power ballad singer'.

Lets not forget that she's far from the finished article. She has a lot of improvement to come.

good for her, I dont watch X factor but what Ive heard of her is very impressive

Have a look at her best performance (in my opinion) on youtube.

Summertime

It may not be your kind of tune but it really shows her class.

Her version of Over The Rainbow was a little bit special. The emotion that emits from her mouth is amazing.

good voice, shame about the personality

You know her do you?

I wanted that ben guy to win the x-factor... was actually something different with real talent

In what way does Ben have talent and Leona doesn't? Do you really think Ben could have No.1 albums in Britain and the US like Leona Lewis will have?
