X Factor: Jamelia Slams Leona Lewis

Leona Lewis: X Factor ContestantPop singer Jamelia has spoken out about X Factor contestant leona today, much to the dismay of her mentor, Simon Cowell.

Jamelia told Hit 40 UK: “Leona’s great, she’s has an amazing voice but she’s a bit Mariah Carey circa 1990. I don’t know how she will fit into the music industry.”

Simon Cowell, hit back saying: “I am getting very angry. Someone is trying to get at Leona through launching a dirty tricks campaign.”

He told The Sun: “It is completely unnecessary – Leona is a very talented girl and this is all very unfair.”

    Jamelia has lose it and X Factor sucks anyway! What a loada rubbish!

  6. Hev says:

    I think Jamelia is jealous and who cares what she think she is crap anyway.

    I thought Leona was great from the first audition and there was no doubt she would go far. It speak for itself if the a top producer from america who produces for Whitney is interested to work with her. Leona top class and we need someone like her for england.

    Jamelia needs to stop drinking all that Hatorade and get into the Studio and mind her business….Talent is coming your way girl so instead of hating…do some recording and hope that you will get a second hit…by the way what was your first hit? I think Leona has been fabulous I have watched her all the wasy since X factor began and her performances alot more memorable

  8. ?????? says:

    Leona is OK I guess but Jamelia is so right!!!!!!

    I fink leona can get a bit full of herself though, thinking she so good and pretending to be excited!!

  9. FAN says:

    I think that leonna is fantastic and that Jamelia should be careful ( free speech and all) BUT there could be a leonna fan backlash ( meaning that jamelia could have lost a few of her own fans) Shes like the ‘green eyed monster’ Good luck Leonna and dont listen to her.. your what the UK in 2006 … and so on needs! Go girl….

  10. ROD BELL says:

    Jamelia has had lots of hits and albums, I that was in the chart for near a year, I’ll take Jamelia over Leona any day to watch ‘live’ but both have great voices.Rod.

  11. DEE says:

    Jameilia dosen’t even compare to Leona.

    Come on, compare the vocal differences. I think that comment of Jameilia’s was totally unfair.

    I did actually like Jameilia up until now. She was a nobody before who tried to make it big. Give the girl a chance to prove herself to all those negative people….

  12. Laura says:

    hello simon I think Lenoa was a Fantasic singer and she Deserved to Have won I wish her the very Best of Luck for the FUTURE all the best I like her song of a Moment Like this from Laura

  13. Helen says:

    OOOH DEE!! you have just proved that you dont like anyone else having their own opinion on this site!! (I liked Jamelia till now!!)

    PRICELESS!!!!!

    PS get it right girl – Leona doesn’t compare in the slightest to Jamelia, Whitney ANYBODY she is a manufactured copycat!!

  14. vicki says:

    Jamelia hunny u gotta take ure own advice and ‘STOP’ being such a jealous 2 year old stamping her foot coz sum1 else has come and taken ure limelight!!!

    If u were as gud at makin hits as u are bein a jealous bitch, maybe ud have no reason 2 feel threatened! Grow up!

  15. Svetlana says:

    Unfortunately, Leona is not going to make it as a singer. I mean pop singer. I don’t think it’s a big loss, but I can bet – in this case, Jamelia is right, whatever her motives are. Voice is just sine qua pro non, but not enough; Leona is alredy advertising sofas. But again – everybody is advertising something for money these days; may be I also would, but nobody pays me, alas!

  16. chucky says:

    Well wot can i say about leona lewis … i think she is really gd and wen she won x-factor i cheered my heart off cos wen x-factor first stared i said to my m8 i think leona wil win and she sed y nd i sed cos she can just sing any song … wen leona had to sing between ray nd leona i sed i wish leona wins cos i h8 tht ray cos he cnt sing

  17. Helen says:

    chucky

    Ray CAN sing – he wouldnt have been in the final if he couldnt would he? Like to see you try!

  18. anita says:

    i think these forums just make people argue…

  19. lady P says:

    jamelia think before you speak , i have never see her say something positive about anyone, jamelia you are just saying rubbish keeep you opion to yourself sometime, pls learn to be positive. you not even a good sing. lenoa go on girl. you are better a billion time than that girl jamelia. lenoa good manners, good family happy girl.

  20. [...] singer, Jamelia, has once again turned her vapid tongue to X Factor winner Leona Lewis in her latest [...]

  21. Ari says:

    Leona is the best singer in the world. There is nobody in any country, on this planet, in this universe who is actually better or could even dream of being better than Miss. Leona Lewis.

    And if you want proof of that Jamelia, where do you stand compared to her? She fits in better than you ever will in your music career. So next time, watch what you say about her Jamelia, because it’s put you in a worse state, and you certainly have lost me as your fan. I hate you, Jamelia, for saying that about Leona.

    “She is killing everyone,” said Cowell on 3rd November on X-factor. And how very right he is.

    Catch Leona tonight at 9:45!!!

  22. Dave says:

    This comes from Jamelia who couldnt even sing something original on Saturday Night Divas tonight!

  23. X says:

    jamelia lol thats pathetic of her if she said that leona lewis is bigger than jamelia has and would ever be. leona also has 10 times more talent than jamelia. if this is true its pathetic of her and stupid of her its like her arguing that a bananna is not a bananna. stupid girl if i was her id be so embarest i would hide away for ever.

  24. Annie Van Winkle says:
