Posted November 18, 200618 yr Is to be a cover of A Moment Like This! Yes a cover of a former winners single which is also a cover!! This is really pushing it now, I will no doubt be horrified when I hear this, even if it is Leonna who I think will probably win this! What do you all think??

November 18, 200618 yr In my opinion I do not think it is right because it is Kelly Clarkson's song but also it was her moment on American Idol. However I think the only person to do it justice would be Leona. I think Leona will win Xfactor and I want her to. Touch wood.
November 18, 200618 yr Author Totally agree with you there Aly, I dont think they will do it justice, purely because we know it as Kelly's song from AI... Its the same situation as someone getting Evergreen by Will Young
November 19, 200618 yr But evergreen was an original song wasn't it? .. The uk doesn't know "a moment like this" as being kelly clarkson's song so it won't matter in that sense but i would rather the winner not sing this.
November 19, 200618 yr Author Evergreen was actually a cover of a Westlife song :o And no but Im going to just cringe at the person singing it, even if it is Leona
November 19, 200618 yr mmm i won't cringe at the person singing it, you never know if it is leona she may even sing it better :o ( kelly is a better singer but you never know lol )
November 20, 200618 yr The rumour has now been confirmed: http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...1;-1&sku=591779
November 21, 200618 yr Omg whore, I was just about to post :angry: I think if Leona win's it'll be such a great cover. Here's the full story... X Factor Winner's single to be a cover of Kelly Clarkson's debut single, 'A Moment Like This'. From The Sun, Tuesday 21st November 2006... The Xpected One, Winner's Single Would Suit Leona X Factor Bosees have given a huge hint that they expect Leona Lewis to win - by picking a big female ballad for the victor's single. The winner will release a cover of American Idol star Kelly Clarkson's first hit. And the choice of a belt-it-out song that suit's a girl's voice suggests bosses have chosen it with Bookies' No1 choice in mind. The stunning ex-secretary, 21, is the 4/9 favourite to win the ITV1 talent show, with Ben Mills, 26, at 2/1. Her mentor Simon Cowell, is bragging that she will become a megastar. The Winner's song A Moment Like This is released on December 20, four days after the show ends, and is a Christmas No1 cert. It is available to pre-order on HMV's website. Kelly, 24, won in 2002 and A Moment Like This sold 250,000 copies in its first week. The fact that the X Factor winner will cover it raised questions over who'd be ABLE to sing it. An industry insider said, "It's a difficult number thata suit's a girl's voice. Leona's the only girl left". But X Factor insiders said ANY contestant could sing it. A source said: "The song was actually recorded by a bloke for the demo tape. We'll make four arrangements so it fits anyone's voice." Simon said he is not sure Leona will win, adding "I think it will be Ben."
November 26, 200618 yr Author Well Justin sung it in AI Season1, and it wasnt overally horrific, so I dont know why Ben is moaning about it.... Seems like he's getting some backlash from this aswell, because he landed in the bottom 2 last night.
