X Factor winner Leona Lewis has been dubbed the new Mariah but the star was quick to shoot down any similarities.

"They've been comparing people to me for the longer than I can remember, I'm just like, 'Whatever'," she shrugged.

"If they're the new me can they come and do my interviews for me or get in the studio and write one of my songs? Seriously though, I love everybody, it's not a competition for me."

Ok, aside the "I love everybody, it's not a competition for me", this sounded like a catty Whitney comment! I mean, couldn't she be a little nicer to the girl? Leona will be terrified when she reads that Mariah shrugged at her After saying "I definitely don't want to put myself in any category with historical people (The Beatles and Elvis) who've helped changed the world", she could have said that she's thrilled when people compare someone talented to her.

Then she could've said that she loves everybody

This is a British article though, so you never know how these guys come up with things. Positivity to everyone, we also know that !

Smart answer!
Her songwritting/composing talent is what will always make the difference ...

i don't see anything wrong with what she said, she gets compared to Leona and hasn't even met her or anything, doesn't know anything about her background or career really. Obviously would know that she is number 1 on Billboard, but it must be draining to be asked about someone who has one song out and won a UK Talent Contest.

It is probably more annoying than draining.

Why would Leona be terrified? I didn't take it as Mariah shrugging Leona off, but more the people calling Leona "the next Mariah Carey." We hear about someone being the "next Mariah Carey" every year, oh so it seems. It can get annoying at times.

Finally Mariah taking a stand. I'm tired of the same "She's a sweet girl, we love everybody" comments. There's only one Mariah Carey and she's here to stay

Yeah she isn't annoyed by Leona herself but by the people who are comparing her to Leona, judging from her comment.

^^But if people keep comparing someone to Mariah, isn't that good? I mean, it's a testament of her relevancy and influence. I mean, she could've said that she's tired of people being compared to her throughout these years - and she did - but since Christina Aguilera/Jessica Simpson, we haven't had many comparisons of that nature. If someone's labeled as the next Mariah, that's something really respectful. If Mariah is known for giving love and positivity, she "should" sound less bothered and give positive feedback to anyone with talent (whether the artist is compared to her or not).

And Mama, have you seen/heard Leona's interviews? She's very humble and shy (pretty much like Mariah was back in the day), so it's not that hard to be scared next time she sees Mariah . I mean, Mariah was once compared to Whitney and that was a huge compliment (that worked for her ).

I think so too, I didn't take that as anything personal directed towards Leona. People have been comparing up-and-coming chicks to her for years e.g. Christina, Kelly, Jessica etc. I'm sure that by this point it's just tiring to her.

I didn't take it as well, I've only said she could've been nicer.

Yeah, but if that simple comment Mariah made terrifies Leona, then she (Leona) is in the wrong business. It wasn't even really a direct comment ABOUT Leona, so I still don't see the issue. I rather the comment Mariah made, than for her to automatically say, "I love Leona. Yada, yada....," just to sound politically correct. She didn't persoanlly attack Leona or say anything bad about her.

And, I think the annoyance is not comparing people to Mariah, but saying so and so is the next Mariah Carey. Next Mariah Carey in what way?

What for? She's not being rude or disrespectful to anyone. It's not up to you how she responds, mate, it's her mouth .
