I agree, Kelly's version gave me chills which I didn't get from Leona's version as good as it was.

Leona did a superb job with Without You, but I wish she did my favorite part of that song, when Mariah belts out the "No-no-no-no" part. But garsh darnit, Leona is just so modest and sweet and with a voice like that, I'm ready to import her CD.
Kelly still stands as my favorite rendition, next to Mariah. There was something about Kelly's Without You performance that put me in a trance.

Leona is the first female contestant in three seasons of The X Factor to make it to the final three. This means that she will likely get to release an album, since the top three finalists from last year all released albums! Any album she releases at this stage is likely to have more than a few cover tracks... hopefully she will record studio versions of 'Without You' and 'I Will Always Love You'. It would be great to hear a studio version of her rendition of 'Could It Be Magic', too!

I much, much preferred her 1st performance of "could it be magic".....her "without you" performance was great...but nowhere near Mariah's league....but i disagree...as much as I love Kelly C...I saw her in concert twice this year....I think Leona's Without You was the 2nd best after Mariah.
Leona's "Could It Be Magic" showcased some more Mimi high notes I predict will break thru in their fullest in the final! (I Hope!!!!!)

The true vision of Christmas forever in my mind. Also, Leona, I saw her preformance of Without You, and even though this entire show is stupid and Simon Cow Sucks. Leona can sing =)

Totally agree with you man.....did you buy the "Dual Disc" version of Mariah's Cristmas album last year?? Because that includes a dvd version of that p[erformance and also the 2000 version of O Holy Night...you should check it out if you haven't already....I saw her in concert when on vacation in Tampa this year....amazing...her live version of DFAU was incredible.

music.moldova.org/stiri/eng/21130/According to UTC news, singer Jamelia has claimed that both Leona Lewis from X Factor and former Spice Girl Emma Bunton do not belong in the music industry. The 25-year-old singer told Hit 40 UK that "[Leona] has an amazing voice, but it’s a bit Mariah Carey circa 1990. I don’t know how she would fit into the music industry." Her sights then turned to Emma Bunton, currently competing in BBC show Strictly Come Dancing and attempting to revive her solo fortunes with a cover of Petula Clark's “Downtown” for Children In Need. "Her career is going 'downtown'," quipped Jamelia. "At least she can dance," added the “Superstar” singer. Jamelia is currently at 34 in the UK singles chart with “Beware of the Dog”, a track that relies heavily on a sample from Depeche Mode's “Personal Jesus”. Who is this bitch? I don't know who she is. Can she sing at all? She sounds jealous to me.

Jamelia just needed some publicity so Beware of the Dog will do better than hitting the edge of the Top 10 next week, that's all.

Leona is singing "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and Whitney's "I Have Nothing" on Saturday!!!! I for one, can't wait for IHN....I think SOTR is a bit predictable but I'm sure she will be unbelievably brilliant!....Please, please make it to the final!

katharine can completely out-sing leona. kat has depth and soul to her voice, which leona has none of.

Leona was not signed to managment and she was not signed to any record label before X factor. She has not broken any rules.
Also who gives a crap if she's been trying to break into the music scene for the last 2 years? Just shows how darn passionate she is about what she does...I think it just shows how determined she will be if she wins.
although she must be pretty damn good to get Ludacris to feature on one of her promo tracks.
Leona is not exactly hiding that she has made tracks. She's got them up on her myspace page..

no lol it was to a reply someone posted saying the show was fixed. Its not..Simon is telling the truth, he had no idea who Leona was before X factor..you can see from the audition, through bootcamp and over the weeks that she has blossomed..she didnt go on there outshining everyone until week 3..its all genuine

Think Leona and Kat are both good, altho I prefer Leona - altho not sure if it's because her appearance reminds me of a 1990 Mariah! :)) Whilst I'm waiting for Leona's performances to come on tonight, thought I would share a couple of videos which make me laugh! (Completely off-topic!!!!) The first is my family "on TRL" which my bro posted as a joke...is v funny www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzi_-4zdSjUSecond is a skit of Tom Cruise and Oprah....hilarious! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IawUK166cVQ
