  • she has grown a lot since then. she had some bad pitch problems and went flat several times

  • leonas a great singer, she's been around for a few years and is worth like 10 million...mariah is better

  • She is better in time.

  • @Theninninsinsin lol thats really funny

  • well...let's face it that leona's never gona beat mariah at her own songs BUT.....i'd really like to hear mariah sings leona's collide or bleeding love.....hehe, probably wouldn't even reach her ankles....so let's say that this is good...specially for 19 yrs novice girl...

  • @BajcoTheSinger LOL! Are you serious? Bleeding Love is not that hard to sing, and you should be shot for even mentioning that shit of a song Collide. Mariah was 19 when she recorded her first album, and Leona would die trying singing Vision Of Love, Vanishing, Love Takes Time, and All In Your Mind, just to name a few. At the age of 19, Mariah could sing every song Leona has ever recorded and manage to make it sound better. Leona's good, but nowhere near as good as Mariah.

  • @superx57 Aaaanddd...who gives a shit about what could mariah do years ago....i'm not saying anything her her, but leona was ...humm....trained in school if i'm correct and mariah's mother was an opera singer....no SHIT she could be trained by the best....leona's got talent and btw, if she could sing her songs, why doesn't she?

    btw..collide, that shit you've said?...it has got about 2 million wiews on youtube in 1 week - she's not lady gaga (THANK GOD) but it's not that bad either

    AND I LIKE IT

  • @BajcoTheSinger Mariah's mother was an opera singer, but Mariah wasn't formally trained like Leona who had years of operatic vocal training just to sound good. Asking why Mariah doesn't sing Leona's songs was a pretty stupid question to ask. Why would Mariah want to sing Leona's songs when she can write and compose her own?

    BTW, Collide may have gotten 2 million views on youtube, but it flopped as far as sales and radio airplay. It's kinda boring to me.

  • @superx57 collide didnt flop it was number 4 in uk and number 1 in the usa dance charts and top 5 in other countries id be happy for number 4 in the uk let alone the rest ita hardly a flop

  • @tomXmidlandsX USA Dance Charts don't mean much since any unknown artist can be number 1. All you have to do is pay the club dj to play it in the clubs so many times. Even after that, nobody bought it from retails like itunes, so it never charted on the real US charts.

    Besides UK (Scotland) & Ireland, where else was it top 5? Collide may have debuted at number 4 in the UK, but it dropped out of the top ten after, dropping out of the charts altogether shortly after. Not good for a first single.

  • @DanScott19 thank you

  • Does anybody know where she came ?

    She probably came really close or maybe even won it ...because If you look at the other Yates Fame Finder ones. They're not the greatest and this video of Leona beats nearly all of them or draws.

  • @joshpheonix She won this competition My friend

    First Place and I think It's deserved =)

  • I love Leona, and I love how she loves Mariah, it just makes me love her even more!

  • what dis song call agin

  • @kimmynaturallysadie

    Always be My Baby

  • Listen To Mariah do this live then Listen to this.

    Leona is waaaayyyyyy better imo of course.

    Goes into head voice way easier and sings with lots more emotion. <3 Leona

  • What this the name of this song? Please is it urgent!

  • @Blair26M always be my baby

  • her belting has without doubt improved.

  • I love her more than Mariah, Her voice is greeeaaattt xxx

  • She did ok.. but she is not mc.. I love mc 4ever and always

  • Leona has several notes off pitch in this performance, I don't know how anyone can compare her to Mariah...the fact Leona IMITATES Mariah's singing style doesn't mean she can rival her.

  • @primohomme omg..spot on! her pitch was at ZOO LOL she still has pitch problems even now...and it's ridiculous people compare her to MC

  • @kelvinpyaeko

    Indeed, I think she has a nice voice and nice range, but she is not at the level of Mariah in her prime

  • @primohomme yep..she does have a very pretty voice and pleasant timbre, but her belts above E5s are always weak and sounds whiny, to me. she always goes to falsetto in almost every of her songs at the peak, instead of pure belting. but anyway, it's needless to say cause you know all about it far more than i do hehe

  • why is everyone saying such negative comments about leona here? she's way way way better now. &if you've read her book, she was actually dragged to participate in this by her frens. so really leona is freaking good man! love her! :D

  • @scllda I know, all the die hard mariah fans. They have Different styles and excel in some different areas.

  • shes much better now

  • a good try Leona but nothing on the original version still good though

  • @carshe209 Don't you think that's a bit harsh?? I guess you can sing better than Leona huh?

  • @carshe209 leona should die miserably ? get a life leona is currently the best UK singer ,... If you can't read i'll read it for this was in 2004 in a karaoke competition. so she was not a professional she was still learning. so i think that maybe your the one who suould die miserebly for saying stupid stuff and whishing death to someone

  • wow she grew up

  • Did she win this competition? She should have!!

  • @Sidra188 yeah she did lol

  • She's so gorgeous :D

  • She is gorgeous

    LOVE YOU LEONA<3<3<3

  • The look of a young whitney, the voice of Mariah and the amazing personality of LEONA

  • She's her own person stop comparing her to mariah and Whitney. Whitney and mariah fans need to get a life. Leona is officially one of the best singers in the world and at least she doesn't do unneccessary notes like mariah with those whistle notes. I for one could do with them but she does them to show off.

  • @xNatalie24x well, she does show off her head notes..man, if she ever had access to whistle register, she would no doubt be showing off as well, too.. (quoting from you that mc shows off her whistle) oops

  • Excellent singing, but not as good as Mariah.

  • @FoxHound109 mariah was at her prime then but this is before xfactor and xfactor is where she really developed and every week she has gotten better.

  • @TheSupershooter Dont get me wrong. I like Leona a lot. It's awesome to see that in an industry that celebrates people who don't sing (like Miley Cyrus), we can get a REAL singer like Leona. She's amazing. But she's not as good as Mariah. =p

  • @FoxHound109 she's not as good as mariah is your opinion but many say that leona can sing mariah but mariah cant sing leona. plus when you listen to someone real, their singing gets to you more. im sorry but mariah is just a bitch and if your a fan you should know it by now, she disses others like their pests like christina, madona, and whitney. leona is a big fan of mariah but you should google what that diva pigriah said about leona whos done nothing to her.

  • @TheSupershooter That's an unfair statement. Madonna and Christina made negative comments against Mariah first, she just responded. As far as Leona goes, you are aware of the fact that Mariah herself asked Leona to play her in a musical on Broadway about her life, right?

  • Did she win?

  • 3:05 listen to how Mariah sings this part and you will realise how fail this is.

  • @Dem0nPalm It's hard to find a clip of Mariah actually singing much of anything. She just about ALWAYS lipsyncs!! I doubt Mariah could sing anywhere near this good today.

  • @dryice17 haha she never lipsynced during her prime...but even for now, u should check her ABC christmas performances..haha...but excuse me, is it fair to compare mariah today with 40 yrs old to leona with over 20? do u dare compare the same-aged one? oops..that'd b a nightmare haha

  • wow... i LOVE LEONA. BUt mariah does this song better...uhm i think it was too low for leona because with mariah,,,she makes the notes sounds kinda belted and mroe natural. also, there was too many background vocals covering leonas voice. it sounded like leona was ad libbing the entire song.

  • I love her long curly hair like that. It really suits her. It's too blonde and straight now.

  • @driftingdrought  axactly!!!

  • mariah carey sings her song better than leona, theirs no comparison.. But leona does sing it well.

  • mariah was great nobody will forget that but give leona credit, not much backing, no auto tuning, just singing live to this track which isnt one of mariahs best tracks, and leona will have her day with her own songs to match her own voice,

  • Comment removed

  • did she win???

  • i am an avid fan of both mariah and leona. as much as an amazing singer that leona is, this has NUTHIN on mariahs. even modern day mariah could still hold the song better than this. leona even goes flat at 2:57. sorry leona fans...but this bombs!!

  • @tshirt83

    No she coudn't

    Leona19 in this vid ----6 years ago

    she had improved a lot since

  • GREAT COVER BUT NO ONE BEATS MARIAH PERIOD POINT BLANK

  • Well - she,s 19 in this vid ----6 years ago.

    Have anybody of these naysayers considered that she had improved considerably technical, etc since then.

    I shall just noticed that some describe her qualities - from then as now.

    Today noone sing a C6 - like Leona - not even MC

  • @DaJokern kristin chenoweth owns C6's

  • @123buffylover

    Not like Leona

  • @DaJokern no, better

  • @123buffylover

    Just heard it - you are wrong - sorry

  • @DaJokern well, let's argee, to disagree

  • Leona has an amazing voice, shes nothing like Mariah Carey because they are both great in the styles that they sing in! Where the fuck are people getting these comparisons!? She aint truin to be Mariah, you'd be mad to even attempt it, she s great just the way she is why does every new artist need to be compared to past greats? No innovative talents can be given a chance because of you narrow minded lot! Always makin a fucking comparison! I saw her live and she was unbelievably powerful vocally!

  • @hanjam16 yea sure what ever mariah use to be able to do all of that but not no more

  • @24fatgurlz I think you completely missed the point I was making. Mariah 'was' great back in the day, Leona 'is' great now its her time to shine. Leona is different 'now' compared to how Mariah 'was'. The point I was trying to make is Leona should be given the chance to be herself, and people should stop comparing her to Mariah Carey's voice back in her heyday. What Mariah is doing now is coasting, her voice is still good enough to sell records so she's just carrying on with what she loves!

  • @hanjam16 yea your rite

  • Mariah is wayy better

  • Omg this is awful. She sounds like a dying horse. Mariah sings it so much better and has better range. Mariah has the better voice too. Gosh even Whitney sounds better than Leona.

    Someone just shoot this horse and take it out of its misery! Thank god someone punched this bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • @aod2k9 omg wat are you on about did u not read , this is before she applyed 4 xfactor, and you know wat she is gud considering here she hasnt had any proffessional vocal training probably just those lil lessons u get in stage school. You can even see there that she has potential and she has proved that to everyone all the dickheads that doubted her and u know wat u would have been one of them. People like you make me sick!!

  • She's good but Mariah is da bomb!!!!

    THE BEST OF ALL

  • She's so great!! Just because mariah has a bigger range doesn't mean she's better. Leona uses her range so well to make it sound better than mariah

  • She won this competition?

  • Her voice is too sharp.. Mariah's voice is more peaceful, breathy and airy sounding.

  • pitchy all over?....LOL out of the track all the way, this girl is now a big diva and we can totally see that she already was at that time...much ...much...much better than this pretentious mariah with her annoying high notes that arent even "singing" leona totally controls falsetto ...hope this girl will get even more on top than she is now...will be hard but im sure she will ...everybody (that have ears) love you leona GO

  • lol pitchy all over....out of the track all the way i must, totally AMAZING...shes a diva and she already was at that time...much better than this mariah! Go leona everybody (that have ears) love you!!

  • just hope she aprreciates and uses her voice like mariah did before her voice went.....

  • @24fatgurlz .. i absolutely dnt think so !!! .. honestly she isnt rely singing it rely well here .. her best live performances was on x factor .. surely nt this 1 !!

    she sure sure as hell like hot here .. no wonder why yuh guys are commenting she's awsom :P .. lool

  • I dont think that leona sing better than mariah!

    mariah is diva, leona is diva, but they arent the same person! Are different, but both are wonderful!

  • aah, so this was before x factor?

  • The sound engineer sucks he or she needs to get a job in another field, that echo gets on my nerves, but i do like her fine azz

  • leona is really good but this song is rubbish!!!!!!

    she should've chosen a different one.

  • Yep, it's not as good as her current songs, but then shes developed alot over time :).

  • great vocals! .. she has an amazing voice, it's incredible!! although the song didnt really go with her voice that much!!

  • I love Leona but this song is so not her.

  • leona can sing her ass off but truthly mariah is a better singer, (well wen she was younger) leaona might be better than her now i guess, but if i had to pic i'll say mariah

  • @glamz2x Beyonce would crush her in the first ten seconds

  • @proverb311031 TRUE!! :)

  • Its not about whose the best,,,,

    both are unique.

  • @dnabiologic Agree with you totally. Some songs are better sang by one person than an other and the other way around to. To give an extreme, Leona would be rubbish at Hard Rock, etc. But Hard Rock bands would be rubbish at what she does.

  • i love mariah and leona. but I do believe that mariah was an amazing singer, but leona is not as good as mariah when mariah was young.

    aNYWAYS, LEONA IS AMAZING

  • shes FRANKLY better than miriah!! love herr :) x

  • Will they stop giving her fast songs!! She cant sing them!!! SHes AMAZING...but at ballads!!!!

  • she is goog and pretty and mariah is good and pretty too!!

  • she also sung i will always love you here aswell but i cant find the video anywhere

  • noo goood mariah carey.. she just whine the entire song.. and she's ovbiously outta tune.. only stupid peolple would say that she's better than mariah

  • Piss of u idiot -

    and stop spamming al u MC bullshit out

  • Comment removed

  • raphee13 1st of how can you call eneyone stupit if u don't even know how to spell people 2nd if we are so stupit for thinkin leona is better then mariah y r u witchin leona's videos 3rd HOP OF MARIAH'S DICK

  • 1st. i didnt meant to watch this fuckin video.. this is youtube.. all the relevant mariah carey search showned ok?

    2nd. you should have known that mariah carey had astonishing ''5 octave range'' and leona just got ''3 octave range'' so how come that leona is better? she cant even hit an g#5 in full chest asshole.. so if all the people here think that leona is better thn marioah.. then shame on you.. coz majority of human being in this planet would say that leona sucks compare to mariah

  • 1)We know all that bullshit u idiot -

    2)but nobody asked u to put in the throat of people like u do.

    4)Btw. music isnt all about having 5 octave range-. retard -and suond like a howling cat somtimes.

    5) Leona has shown 3,2 octave not 3

    Get that

  • And what are u really tryong to tell

  • Mariah was better bk in the day buh now shes rubbish, bringin out songs fit for 20 year old when shes forty, fair enough shes still selling them, but in my opinion i prefer leona, nd since leona has been out i have bought more of her records than i have mariahs... no point slating one from the other its all down to individual tastes!

  • ok so you are a fucking weirdo if all you do is be on youtube searching mariah carey you surisly need to get a fucking life you dumb fuck and umm yeah i think that is all i have to say oh yeah you are a dumb fuck for thinkin that maria is better then leona maria is old ass fuck that bitch is older then dirt

  • you are a dumb fuck!!! and i have a life so im not gonna keep fighting with you on youtube and that is a damn shame that a fuckin 37 are somthing is fighting with a 13 year older and losing your mother wouldn't be proud of you so go and get a fuckin life you asswipe

  • she is better than leona.. and your just a hater 2 mariah carey people like u need 2 get a life just hating on mariah for no reason.. GET A LIFE U WEIRDO

  • @raphee13 a vocal range don't mean a thing, it's how you use it, leona is a great singer, mariah was a great singer..

  • Frankly, I do not think Leona is better than Mariah Carey. But we can not say that Mariah Carey is better than Leona. Mariah Carey can make notes that Leona can not, but Leona's voice is unique, just like Mariah. (I apologize for my English. I'm from Portugal!)

    PEACE

  • you definitely made your point mr ... muito bem !!

  • @DecioErnandez i agree

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @zanaomusic She was only 19 here. And as others have said she was still learning She is incredible now!

  • @DecioErnandez i agree with you

  • @DecioErnandez i agree with you leonna is leonna & marie is marie 2 diferent person.

  • Flawless, beautiful and spectacular as usual :)

  • Comment removed

  • would love her to sing this song now! she was good here but can you imagine it now! omg! she will probs sing it on her tour; like cover it. i hope so!

  • that is a shame that leona lewis sings mariah's song better then her

    GO LEONA #1 FAN

  • Of course, not even close - they're both different people! I do doubt it is about rivalry. . .

  • @24fatgurlz LMAO! that would be a shame if it were true.

    I love Leona dearly but this performance was a pitchy mess. lol

  • @24fatgurlz ha your funny maybe in her dreams she would be better than her, but this performance songs its pitchy all over. she its not even close to good as mariah! mkk?

  • @24fatgurlz You must be on crap! Mariah can sing circles around this girl!!!

  • @24fatgurlz What the hell are you smoking? Leona is a pitchy mess, especially on this song! Leona isn't even fit to drink Mariah's bathwater!

  • @superx57 ok i agree Leona doesn't sing this better than Mariah by far ... but she is not as bad as you make out. NOT just anyone can attempt Mariah songs and do this well ^^

  • @adamscott1982 Leona isn't bad at all. I really love her head voice. Other than that, she's nothing like Mariah. I think Leona is a good singer, but it really annoys me when people (mainly the Brits) say that she's the next Mariah Carey, or she's better than Mariah Carey. Leona's voice is too light and agile to carry the vocal power Mariah has. I know plenty of Mariah songs that Leona's voice could never handle. People just need to stop kidding themselves. Leona is nowhere near Mariah vocally.

  • @superx57 i agree with you for the most part except Mariah had the voice she doesn't have it anymore. Anyone who disagrees is so in love with her they are decieving themselves. Leona could surpass most of her new stuff easily (MO), but Mariah WAS the best obviously.

  • @24fatgurlz She sounded good coz the song has amazingly captivating melody, but technically, Mariah can wipe her face on solid floor...Mariah has better resonance, control and soul, from low to high. Mariah owned this song not just coz it's her song that she made, but also she pioneered the song and her rendition gives the chills that will lead you to sublime world.

    The true shame is, you're not that good at comprehending things...

  • @Muzicx44 lol well said

  • @24fatgurlz i love leona.. but naw she dnt sing this better

  • WOW SHE LOOKS SOO PRETTY!!!

  • leona's the bomb

  • That was good...but now her voice is AMAZING :D

    She's improved so much :)

  • u can tell mariah had a huge influence on her singin. she has has improved alot live cos this is just alrite. now she is very good live

  • She was 19!!!!! or maybe 20 it depends what month. So beautiful, voice and Leona!! unique!

  • I don't know.. . There's something special about this girl, I can't get what but.. there surely is. . .

  • @vagadar just everything voice style look nd adetude!

  • @queenasalita It's more like that everyone at this contest's tryina get noticed, you know - it may be their life-time chance and everything, whereas she's as though not really here. . .

  • her voice has deff. developed and became stronger over the years

  • shes definately not 15 here lol

  • is dis a new song

  • no, it's "Always Be My baby" by Mariah Carey

  • whatever u say

    I still L_O_V_E her

  • It says 2004 in the back, which would back her either 18 or 19. This is in response to the post that claims she is 15 here.

  • those jeans are disastrous on her :/

  • Love the arm gestures,

    looks like a young Mariah.

    Whats wrong with having 2 great singers?

    I love them both.

  • she was only 15 here!!! .....I think she sounds great...

  • 15? you sure?

  • oops sorry...just looked she won the comp in 2004 which would maker her 19 and not 15 as previously stated!

  • what the hell is wrong with people she was younger than now here and she sounded a million times better than all the haters just enjoy if not dont listen,, well done leona you did fantastic

  • love leona but she not doing good on this song

  • really????

    let's check your ears:))

  • Love you leona

    I really do (L)

  • always be my baby

    mariah carey

  • What song is this?

  • shes so hot

  • and she lost? really? wow. Bad judges. Good for us, though. she went on to be famous.

  • why would you ask if this is new yall are dumb as hell the sign say 2004 karaoki competition. she wuz like 17.

  • Its funny cause simon cowell said that leona lewis didnt have confidence and she didnt realise how good she was when on the x factor if thats not someone who knows they can sing, i loved to know a person who lacks confidence cause its difinatly not her, she is confidence and always has been she wouldnt have gone on x factor other wise.
