London
(ANI):
Pop
star
Jamelia
lashed
out
at
English
singer,
Leona
Lewis,
calling
her
a
“poor
man"s
Mariah
Carey".
Jamelia
also
hit
out
at
Leona"s
mentor
Simon
Cowell
who
met
her
through
'X-Factor".
“When
Simon
stops
all
this
stupid
hype
about
her,
that"s
when
we"ll
see
if
she
can
deliver.
Like
every
artist
Simon
has,
she"ll
fade
into
obscurity
eventually," the
Sun
quoted
her
as
saying.
Jamelia
even
said
that
being
associated
with
Cowell
would
not
bring
any
success
to
an
artist.
“Simon"s
lost
it.
He
is
disrespectful.
Leona
may
be
talented,
but
she"s
not
worked
as
hard
as
me
or
others
in
the
industry
—
fact!
Only
Will
Young
has
been
successful,
and
that
was
because
he"s
talented
and
cut
ties
with
Simon.
Leona
is
a
poor
man"s
Mariah
Carey,"
she
said.
