  • Lower register: Alexandra destroys. Way better support. Leona has no voice below C4.

    Belting: Alexandra. Especially nowadays. Her technique may not be the absolute best, but she's improved a lot. Leona's voice is placed higher, but her notes above D5 thin out considerably and are strained as shit. Plus, I loathe her vibrato.

    Head Voice: Tie. Leona uses it more and hits higher notes, but that's it.

    Alexandra wins. Leona's voice is HIGHER, not better.

  • That last note made me laugh, Leona -3

  • Leona!!

  • They are amazing.. But I have to say "Alexandra" is better (at my point of view)

  • "Who is your favorite?" - My favorite is Leona Lewis (PS. Leona is not Soprano;) she is Lirico-soprano:))

  • Lol...leona hands down. Lolololololol. Definitely Leona. Leona is amazing <3

  • there are only few singers who can do whistle register,,,,,alex is not one of them of course.. if you will notice, leona can hit higher notes than alex. ....pls be objective..thanks

  • This is a joke right? Leona all the way

  • i hate singers like alex, meriah carey etc etc.. they hit the note allright.... then spend the next 8 years hitting every other note up down and around the entire scale. it sounds shit!. leona hits the note..... holds it....... owns it. not "hit it warble warble warble"......PSSt..."i think i hit the right one in there somewhere".... pisses me off.

  • @antonyaiken lmao that is called melisma (a vocal run) Alex doesnt do them Leona does them more lol. Mariah is master of them and she does them on pitch and with accuracy they are perfect so dont complain :p

  • alexandra burke <3

  • Both of them are absolutely amazing!!! I love them...and I love the fact that they are totaly diferent!

  • Leona all the way

  • lol at you all thinking alex is good:/phaa!what a freak

    leona is the best because she has a stronger voice! alex is just wrong she cant even sing!

  • LEONA LEWIS ♥♥♥

  • Well Leona wins...(not that I'm surprised:P)

  • @darreng1993 Alexandra is one of the most powerful vocalists ever to come from Europe. She's been compared to the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Toni Braxton. She has every right to be compared to Leona (who had to have ten years of vocal training in order to sound good). For you to belittle Alexandra's credibility by putting her in the same category as Cher Lloyd just shows what a childish, delusional, Leona stan you are.

  • Leona's Tongue looks weird when she sings

  • alex all the way..... leona is like a nuns vage

  • 1:52.. F5 would be better than E5 : P ... I like more Alex's voice... I don't know why : )

  • like them both....

  • leona is the best

  • FAIL chest voice.for both u suppose to be able to hold ur note to prove u can reach it...

  • go leona your the best ever.

  • Leona Lewis could have chosen any year on X factor and won

  • Alexandra!!!

  • Did you see how effortless Leona's Bb5 was and then you look at Alex and her Bb5 looked like it took so much effort and she was trying way to hard.

  • two different singing styles, singing different song types, so it is not really fair to compare. just fair to say they are both great in what they do, saying that Alexandra Burke was my fav until I heard Leona sing I see you on the Avatar soundtrack not I'm not sure which one I prefer anymore

  • They are both amazing, Alex's voice is alot more powerful than Leona's and to be fair to Alex she didn't have any training before x factor where as Leona did but yeah big fan of both but i prefer Alex!

  • Leona is miles better than alexandra! BUT i love alexandras power voice and her soul =D

  • dang AB is scary!!! with a body built like a boxer AB would definitely woopp LL ass  with 1 punch! LOL

  • leonaaaaaaaaaaaa lewiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

  • To me their like better then each other on certian things like for example i like alexandra's belting better then leonas because leona sounds like weak and alexandra uses resonance and i think leona has an amazing falsetto shes jaw dropping but i think their both great but to me thier singsing styles are different so u can't compare them their both GREAT!!!

  • Leona Lewis , ever! ♥

  • definetly leona

  • I personally prefer alexandra, her music, voice and even style, leona is good but she whines too much. And you can't compare the belts of an obvious soprano with a contralto

  • Comment removed

  • Both are great singers! Alexandra has such control over the low notes! Leona and Alexandra are both great belters! Leona just has the flexibility to sustain them longer.

  • @ThePianoguy89 Leona can sustain those notes longer than Alexandra just because her voice is naturally placed higher, it's not a matter of skill. Anything above E5, her notes are way too squeezed and forced, her placement gets so unstable. Very little resonance indeed.

  • @Stefano94x Leona does tend to squeeze past E5 and to a point when it becomes very shrill. Alexandra has a beautifully unique and sultry tone. Her belts are far more resonant.

  • @ThePianoguy89 Just to be clear, I'm not a Leona hater. I love her voice. I just think her technique needs a lot of improvement. Her intonation is a mess.

  • Leona, easy choice :)

  • They are both amazing but leona just kills her when she soars into them amazing notes she does. 

  • lower register-Alexandra

    C5-Alexandra

    C#5-Alexandra

    D5-Leona

    Eb5-Leona

    E5-Leona

    F5-Tie

    F#5-Leona

    Headvoice-Probably leona.

    Leona has more ease and range so overall i give it to her

  • @musicguy713 probrably leona for head voice? haha

    u kidding

    PROBRABLY

    U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SINGING

    critics agree that she has the most superior head voice of any current artist.

  • @numba1danman Ummm LOL geez you act like i totally bashed leona, im actually a singer myself along with many people in my family so i know alot about music, i even gave her the win so why the anger?

  • @musicguy713 i know u were it was just quoite disrespectful thats all.

    leona is much much much better than alex in singing, ppl compare them simply cos there form the same show..its total rubbish, leona is the one who has sold nrly 30 million records not alex.

  • @numba1danman I dont see how i was disrespecting her, i mean watching the vid over yeah its obvious leona is the winner in the head voice section, and yes leona is better so there's nothing to be offended by lol

  • @numba1danman lol..u can't even read what he is writing..i wonder if you are a simpleton or something

  • @kelvinpyaeko

     w

    t

    f

  • @numba1danman no...it applies to u

  • @kelvinpyaeko oh cool

  • @numba1danman oh yeah..thanks 

  • LEONA.....

  • LEONA RULES!

  • I love how you compared this two total diff girls. AT least you got one thing right. Leona SOPRANO & Alexandra CONTRALTO. Two TOTAL diff. vocal ability. It's like putting Whitney H. vs Tina T. Both good singers. Both total diff vocal. Niether are bad.

  • @JohnathanCepeda Atleast I got one thing right? So everything else is wrong? You upload a video as good as this and then you critique me. Leona vs Alex are way more similar than Whitney vs Tina.

  • @sentfromupabove NO!? everything I don't know. I mean like you said Soprano & Contralto. & What came to mind was those two. They're both great singer's. Just two total diff. ways of singing.

  • @sentfromupabove Wait... Sorry for the delay ! They're both diff. & I didn't mean that EVERYONE is wrong. But they're not the same. Female yes, singers Yes, Famous Yes, Good Yes but vocally No.... :/ I don't wanna argue, sorry ( D: )

  • @JohnathanCepeda

    Leona is a mezzo.

  • @JohnathanCepeda

    Leona is a mezzo. And Alexandra's low notes are weak, so I'm not sure if she is a contralto. She might be a low mezzo.

  • o.o? wait what did i miss, who's alexandra?

  • They both have amazing voices. They just have different timbres.

  • Leona has a beautiful melondic and sweet with a beautiful high range

    Alexandra has a soul tone and powerful and unqie and very powerful low range

    they both differences

  • 1st place leona, 2nd rebecca, 3rd alexmandra

  • @nfscarbonultra dont be stupid rebecca ferguson cant sing half as good as alexandra

  • @alexburkeisamazin rebeccas first audition was better than alex's , just my opinion!, rebecca's voice is more natural and less strained when she sings, :)

  • @nfscarbonultra alexandra is just unbelieveble rebecca is just an ordinary singer nothing special...

  • Ha love the fact Leona is being compared to Alexandra.... Leona is completely out of this world vocally.. and looks stunning!!

  • @TakeaLookThen I agree :) Please subscribe :D

  • You cannot really compare them because they have such different voices, Alexandra has a much soulful and deep voice when Leona probably struggles with the lower notes but can hit the higher ones with no question about it.

  • they'r so different... u cant compare them! I luv both of them... <3 i dont care who's better or worst... i luv their music!! <3

  • You want to ask these questions. Who would you prefer to see on stage? - Alexandra Who would you prefer to listen to live? - Leona Who would you prefer to interview? - Alexandra Who would you prefer to listen to on an album? - Alexandra Who is more exciting? - Tie Who is more interesting? - Alexandra Alexandra - Powerful, warmth, soulful Leona - Delicate, breathtaking, sweet I prefer Alexandra if it's not obvious. She just captivated me. Leona has an untouchable voice though.
  • @TheDraperDudee at 1:25 the contest was over, thats a world class note right there and pitch perfect, its funni that even in alex's most comfortable range ie D3 she is on the same level as leona, and leona wins in chest and head, wat it didnt show is leona goes another octave higher.....lets face it lower - tie, chest, head, upper head and whistle - leona. not even a contest,

  • Low notes and overall tone - Alexandra

    High belts and head voice - Leona

  • FYI its not about experience because at this stage they both had the the same amount of experience

  • @joshpheonix It is about experience as Leona was operatically trained whereas Alex was selftaught. On an unrelated note I watched Alex's new music vid she is such a Beyonce wannabe LOL.

  • @sentfromupabove Well it's not her fault she's inspired -_-

  • @sentfromupabove alex's mum was in a pretty famous band in the 80's - forgot the name now..alex was brought up metting the likes of stevie wonder etc.

    leonas mum was a ballet teacher and her dad was a youth worker...so im sure alex had much more help with singing than leona lewis.

    leona lewis is far superior in vocal ability - everyone knows this.

    leona lewis is the true rags to riches story.

  • @numba1danman who cares who is more trained leona is clearly vocally superior.

  • @sentfromupabove someone said its unfair cos leona has been more trained.

    i was just saying alex was also

    but yes

    by a fucking light year..leona is incredible...that word is used too much but seriously.

  • @numba1danman ah i see btw im making a video for leonas vocals in her dvd please subscribe :)

  • No offence to Alex she is good but you cant compare the two leona smashes up alex

  • Comment removed

  • @Stefano94x I completely agree.

  • what song is the bb5 of alexandra???btw

    Go leona the unreachable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @blubb977 Silent Night

  • Where are leona's G5s and recent live G#5s that Alex is yet to hit in chest, plus the higher falsetto notes from Leona you stopped at F#5 then Bb5 cos that's where Alex stops, not a fair comparison if you ask me!

  • @Chipoid86 No it's fair, if I showed higher notes by LL it would be pointless as Alex hasn't done those notes and it would no longer be a comparison

  • Comment removed

  • leona lewis is betta lol x

  • Alex! She's more versatile and soulful, anyway who said singing higher, makes you better?

  • leona destroys alex with just a finger. alex always sound like she's struggling...

  • @chewerboy agreed!

  • Both as good as each other until the final notes! Leona's much better at the higher notes!

  • I like leona lewis.

  • in terms of this vid, low notes= alexandra, but since x factor leonas low notes av vastly inproved, all other leona, especially the high 1s leona just hammers alex on these cs tht Bb5 it was effortless 4 leona, weras alex had to push it out, u could tell with the tensing of the face haha

  • my leona just smashes it she cant dance like alex she hits a note lyk no ones business

  • How can you evan compare these artists!!! Alexsandra is really good and its nice to see another great singer win the x facter. Leona though is the winner because she is the only female singer in the world that is compared with the great Mariah Carey. Leona can hit those high notes that Alexsandra cant evan hit. Evan leonas head voice, folceto is better. Leona should never be compared to!!

  • I wanted Alex and Leona to win the x factor,i know by mind all of her materials.But seriously come on,with no offense Leona is unreachable,she is just perfect.Love Leona though

  • Leona Lewis wins hands down !!! This woman is very very special ! no one in the world has a voice like Leonas ! ! ! I could listen to her voice alday it just sounds just so perfect !!! WOW

  • admit that leona lewis is slightly a better singer than alexandra but i prefer alexandra :)

    syhe's more versatile, upbeat and fresh

    where as to be perfectly honest, we already have one mariah carey and we dont need another one sorry leona but be yourself instead of copying your idol

  • Leona by a mile! Not even close!

  • love them both, but Leona has a better voice, especially wen it comes to ballads she has more of a chance of bieng categorized as a belting diva with Whitney, Celine and Mariah. Leona is not boring! shes a lovely girl, wen u have a voice like that who cares bout personality anyways :)

  • Leona Definitely ;]

  • Lower Register - Alexandra

    Belting - Overall it's Alexandra, but not by too much. It's Leona is squeezing too much....but she has good presence there. Alexandra has more control and can do more things.

    Head voice - Leona

    Nice video sentupfromabove ^^

  • @KyoHanjin thats hilarious, okok the vid showed the notes in 3rd octave went to alex no questionm, but that is where alex is meant to shine...and she doesnt. the chest was leona i mean c'mon she sustains the notes for a bout 3 times as long as alex and they are clearer. leonas head voice far out reaches alex's i mean she can go anothe octave above wat alex just did. can we see alex do a whistle...no, leona can bang em out like beckhams crosses

  • @numba1danman Well put :):):):)

  • Both amazing! Leona's range is wider and her tone is sweet yet powerful and she sort of hypnotises you with her voice. Alexandra's voice is husky, powerful and full of warmth and she puts on an amazing performance. Both should be so proud of themselves.

  • for me alexandra is dramatic mezzo,no contralto!!!

  • They are both Fantastic singers but i like Alex more.

  • They are both fantastic singers but i like Alex more.

  • Leona is a bit boring. Leona has the slight edge in voice, but she and her producers do too many sleepy songs. Alexandra does more uptempo, dance tunes, rhythmic, and exciting stuff. It would be nice if Leona's producers, writers, and herself try to be more relevant or hip. Leona has the vocal edge, Alexandra had less training and is more of a natural raw talent. So as time goes by, I expect Alexandra's voice quality increase a bit more, as she hits her peak.

  • In my opinion, Leona has a better voice, but, as we say in Spain, Alex has got an angel, she´s a true artist! I prefer to watch Alex than Leona on stage! Leona sometimes is boring, Alex never is!

  • love alex, but leona is in a league of her own.

    Leona, the X FACTOR QUEEN

    Alex, the X FACTOR PRINCESS

  • alexandra burke!!

    sings!!!

    dances!!!

    wayy better personailbty

    theres for ALEXANDRA BURKES WINS :):):):) LOVE YOU ALEX

    and to be in that industy you have to have those qualitys

  • @sentfromupabove - Leona's last note at the end.

  • @LoboAscuridad ..Is a Bb5 in head voice.

  • hahaha this isnt hard to  choose ... leona wins hands down .... its not difficult thats why shes a worldwide superstar and alex isnt

  • @sentfromupabove i ain't got no emails from you lol. It's Ebrahim Dickinson @ yahoo . com . au no spaces. I tried the email address you gave me and still not working

  • Alexandra all the way!!!

    I love this vid! i personally dont like leona and her voice is annoying for my ears, I love Alex tho! and every single performance she's done back in XF and now! Dont hate, it's just my opinion :-)

  • Leona

  • @esesohsam Can you justify? lol

  • @sentfromupabove because she is incredible! I dont need to explain, the tone of her voice is beautiful! She is one of the greatest singers of all time. I like Alexandra as well, dont get me wrong.

  • @esesohsam Nice answer lol

  • @esesohsam So whose ur fave female artist and why?

  • @sentfromupabove okay it's ebrahimdickinson@ yahoo . c o m . au send a mail so i can save it :) No spaces of course lol

  • Leona Won this! Leona's Low notes/ Belting/ head voice/whistle sounded better. And also I never knew who Alexandra Burke was before this video lol. But hearing Alexandra Burke voice, I still think Leona rocked more.

  • @LoboAscuridad Leona has no whistle and Low notes are not decent

  • @Dam112 - oops. I thought it was whistle my bad lol. So it was head voice or falsetto?

  • @LoboAscuridad Oh wait that was on another vid I wrote HV here lol.

  • @LoboAscuridad Falsetto is the male equivalent of head voice, girls dont have a falsetto voice, falsetto is the term used for a man when he sings high and breathy like girls do in head voice :P

  • @fang007vp Are you sure girls can't do falsetto? I mean some girl sound like they are doing falsetto. 

  • @LoboAscuridad Yes i am sure, the correct terminlogy is "head voice" for girls and "falsetto" for guys, if you type in "definiton of falsetto" this will come up "a male singing voice with artificially high tones in an upper register"x

  • @fang007vp Example #1) Then in Demi Lovato's Get Back - Why does it sound like more like falsetto than HV?

  • @LoboAscuridad Everyone has different voices, some girls head voices are more strong than others like in this video leona lewis's sounds stronger than alex's, but your not listening to me......the word "falsetto" is used for MALE singers only, the correct word for girl singers is Head voice. Basically Falsetto is the male equivalent of head voice, hope this helps you to understand more :)

  • @fang007vp also ive never heard that song before but after listening to the first part (i assume you mean that bit) she is singing in a breathy tone, not head voice

  • @fang007vp Yeah the "Head Voice" is at the beginning. I understand now. Girls do Head Voice, Guys do falsetto... Makes sense. I really like Demi's breathy HV though...

    I got it! So that means Justin Bieber will do Head Voice? LOL

  • @sentfromupabove O! M! G! That's bloody amazing, woah! I'm jealous now wow. I can do F3 - C4 without effort LOL. You have to train me! And yes i have a yahoo email ???

  • @sentfromupabove you seriously need to get twitter so we can chat! Lol, anyhoo just occured to me that i'd love to hear you sing! And please tell me what your vocal range is. :-D

  • @EbieApple I have msn, do you have hotmail/yahoo? My vocal range is unstable coz my voice is kinda at the changing stage it's quite low but getting lower lol :) It's about a crazy 6 octaves lol = D2-C8 but i can do Eb2-F6 without effort :p

  • @EbieApple Okie lol just send me ur email. I'll add u now..

  • alexandra can really sing but i prefer leona's voice, she just has that extra something about her voice like mariah and whitney

  • i prefer alex much better, althought it's just my preference :)

  • I preferred Leona's E3 better. Both their F3's we're ok. I love the tone on Leona's low notes better thou. Alex takes C5, C#5, D5 Leona, Eb5 both, E5 both, but more so Alex, Leona F5, F#5 both. Bb5 Leona, Alex's was nice thou. Fave, idk. Kinda Leona. But, Alex is a bad ass performer & singer.

  • Leona !!!!!!

  • very very nice

  • I like Alexandra's tone more and she wins on the low notes... But Leona definitely win overall... Alex was kinda mix all those chest notes

  • LEONA ......love Alex though but Leona is an amazing vocalist

  • LEONA IS A DIVA...Her voice....can't describe it....AMAZING. Alex is good in low register but she's just average.

  • hey SFUA, great job yet again, I believe both of them are great, I was rooting for each of them during their various seasons on xfactor, but to me I'll go for Leona, too close to call really, they'r both amazing...my personal view. good job mate

  • In X-Factor I love Alex more....Leona's voice is very uncontroled for me!

  • Leona hands down.

    Leona has hit notes Alex hasn't hit, and those notes aren't shown here.

  • there both awesome haha i can't chose

  • LEONA! aunque alexandra el timbre de alexandra es muy bueno, me gusta mucho!

  • Leona: E3, C5, Eb5, E5, F#5, Bb5

    Alex: F3, C#5, D5

    Tie: F5

    Leona.. im still mad at the fact that Alex's has THE perfect tone for lower registry notes but hasnt even hit a D3 yet =/ lol

  • @VaunTV I know it does my head in that shes trying to be an upper belter, she can do it yes i think he F5 are good but she should experiment with her strength and go lower and lower cause i bet she could

  • @Dam112 Yea i bet she could too..

  • honestly....

    I LOVE BOTH OF OUR BRITISH DIVA'S... makes me proud to say i am British (as Simon said to Alexandra) love them both but would slightly prefer Alexandra as shes more versatile otherwise both phenominal

  • I know nothing about notes, but nice vid.

    They are both unquestionably great singers, and at the end it's more a battle whose type of vocals you like more, rather than discussing which one is better singer.

    I'm proud to say I love them both.

  • leona destroys alex

  • Alex has a good lower register. Alex can belt but Leona's tone makes her belting more "special"? Head voice hands down goes to Leona. She is probably one of the best with regards to head voice.
