Former X factor winner, Leon Jackson has admitted that he is finding it hard to keep up with other winners, Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis but blames their wider vocal range and sense of style for the chasm between them.

Leon, this year, became the first ever X Factor winner to miss out on the number one spot with their debut album whilst Alexandra Burke broke all sorts of British and European records after her Christmas single exceeded all expectations.

“Women vocalists have an amazing voice range. They can reach really high notes and often they have a strong diva-like image,” Jackson told the Daily Record. “Both Leona and Alex have really big voices. There’s no doubting they can nail songs that us guys can’t. I think that gives them a certain edge.

“Females always generate attention from the way they look, too. They are always changing their hair and some of their outfits can be really daring – it can be really hard to compete.”

Forget the voice, forget the style Leon, the problem here is personality. If you have one you hide it really well!
