People are good yes but the hyperbole. There are much better singers. Leona blows every x factor contestant, and Alexandra Burke had pipes, but I even likes the tone and singing of Rebecca Ferguson more!
I can't believe Simon's disrespect towards Leona though. Leona fans must be fuming.
I think he respects her talent but doesn't care to support her new music. He knows damn well that her new stuff is struggling to scrape sawdust everywhere so instead of getting her to perform something from her new record, she was forced to sing 4/5 year material
