Mariah Carey has said that there was no Similarity between Leona’s music and her own. Mariah said that there will never be a “new” Mariah.she is right there because she is Mariah but one thing she can not say is that there will never be anyone as good as her. could it be that she is worried that Leona will take over?
Mariah said that “Honestly, there has been so many, ‘This is the new her,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, show me the new her. Can she come and work for me and be my double? And I’m not particular talking about this girl Leona, because I only heard her once and I didn’t really hear a true similarity, particularly in the style of music. It is what it is and critics have compared me to so many people who are not really singers, and they’re certainly not writers.”
Mariah said that she has nothing to fear from emerging stars like Leona Lewis. I think that she has forgotten that Leona Lewis has hit the Number one spot in America last week. What do you think is Leona Lewis the new twentieth century Mariah?
In other news Leona Lewis is said to be hiring Mariah Carey’s personal trainer to work with her to make it big in the US. i wonder how Mariah feels about this.
A source said that “Lewis has done brilliantly in the US. But some of her team think she needs to be a bit sexier if she wants to have the longevity of female artists like Carey, Janet Jackson or Madonna. They think that having Lewis train with Patricia would be a treat for her because she adores Carey. She will go to Patricia’s base in the Caribbean for some intensive sessions and then Patricia will visit her regularly to continue the project.”
Could it be the case that Leona is trying to become Mariah Carey?

I do not think Leona is trying to be the “New Mariah”! Mariah is an exceptional artist, I am a fan of hers and no-one could be the new Mariah. Leona is distinctive in her own way, I love the fact shes so modest and unassuming and if anything, i find when Leona sings, her voice is effortless and it seems so much more natural than Mariah’s. Especially lately, Mariah seems to struggle, her live performances certainly aren’t what they used to be! Love them both, but they are different in their style!
