Mariah may no longer be number 1 but at least she doesnt look like a horse

Mariah is still the best in the game and Leona aint got nothing on her, she cannot sing as well and has a loong way to go before I will say she is a force to be reconned with. I think LL is overhyped and looks like a horse, shes a sweeet girl but nice doesnt cut it in the music biz. LL has also been xtremely over promoted, everywebsite has her damn horse face on it, its annoying.
Mariah’s album is extremely to be number 1 either this week or next because its predicted to sell 500,000 copies in its first week in the US alone. And thats based on the release of Touch my body (one of the worst songs on the album) so the sales will go crazy once she releases Bye Bye and other great songs from the album.

I dont understand the appeal of Leona(horse-face) Lewis honestly. I find her music extremly mediocre but she obviously has a mega-promotional backing behind her so…………….

Oh please to both the above…i’m not saying Leona is in Mariahs league of talent, she’s not that good, but nonetheless, she’s an incredible singer and hugely hugely talented.
And where do her looks come into it? Who the hell do you think you are calling someone a ‘horse face’? Can you post a picture of yours please so we can all comment on your features?
Anyway, back to Billboard, Congrats to Leona for Hitting No.1 on both charts. I can only begin to imagine what it must be like for her. This time last year she’d only had one single – her winners from X Fact – so these are good times.
Mariah will both regain the no.1 spot on the Hot 100 next week and also claim the no.1 spot on the Hot 200. Expect a debut hot 100 appearance from “Bye Bye” aswell!!
p.s – Mariah will be debuting the “Bye Bye” video on TRl this coming monday!

I am very happy for Leona–I am–but for some reason I cannot get into her like that. Maybe it will take a few more listens because I know she is talented, I just don’t know if she is my cup of tea. We shall see. I’m open to it.
