BB FANS :: View topic - X FILES SAY LEONA IS A 2-5 NO-HOPER

X FACTOR favourite Leona Lewis was last night dealt a devastating blow - when the show's top vocal coach claimed she LACKS star quality.

In a frank interview that will shock the beauty's fans, voice trainer Mark Hudson told The People: "Leona just doesn't have that 'It'."

Mark, who works full-time with the finalists on the ITV1 talent show, said Leona's ability still falls short of her superstar idols including Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

And, ironically, he claimed that the evicted MacDonald Brothers were better singers.

Mark revealed: "Leona's voice is incredible and her stage presence and all that - but Leona is missing that other mystery ingredient.

"It has nothing to do with her singing voice - it has to do with star quality.

Mirror 2 December 2006 THE history of X-Factor tells us that sexy women usually suffer the same fate as sexy women who put out in slasher movies - they are among the first to buy it. If the sexy woman is also black, well she's a goner even before the opening credits are over. Leona (right) is the almost unbackable 2-5 favourite to win X-Factor. She's a sexy woman. She's also of mixed race. Where in God's name are her votes going to come from? There have been some terrible favourites in betting history, but Leona at 2-5 to win X-Factor is the worst of the lot. She's easily the most talented of the four remaining acts but since when did that matter in a popularity show? She'd have to sing like Streisand - and not just match her in the hooter stakes - to overcome the massive disadvantages of race and gender. If the MacDonald Brothers or Ray go out tonight, their supporters are far more likely to gravitate towards second favourite Ben than to Leona, who is attractive and talented enough to be hated by the voting sisterhood but not quite drop-dead gorgeous enough to persuade horny young men to stay in on a Saturday night and vote.
