Leona Lewis has responded to comments reportedly made by fellow singer Jamelia last year, in which she reportedly called Lewis a "poor man's Mariah Carey". Lewis says it's because the famously outspoken singer is insecure, look: "If people are being horrible to you, it stems from their own insecurities. Jamelia said some nasty things about me, which hurt as I've never met her. I don't know if she definitely said it, but if she did it's sad. Us girls should support each other. I still think she's good and I wouldn't say anything bad about her".
What Lewis doesn't realise is that legally, she has to be dissed by other, purportedly credible musicians, because she got where she is via a talent contest. It's the law. Though less widely observed in the US, so perhaps she should go set up camp over there.
