Leona Lewis: The X Factor is no longer just about singing

Bleeding Love star says ITV show has changed

Leona Lewis won The X Factor in 2006

Leona Lewis reckons The X Factor doesn't place enough emphasis on vocal talents.

The singer - who won the ITV programme in 2006 - says acts can now get through on their personality alone. 

‘It's more of an entertainment show,' says Leona, 24. 'It's a TV show and they want their entertainment value.

'It's not just about singing really well any more.'

‘When I was on the show in 2006 it was only about the singing,' she tells the News Of The World.

‘We were lucky if we got some good lights. I can't believe how much it has changed.'
