beyknight: because simon cowell only sees leona. alex had the potential and radio friendly hits but simon didnt see that. he only sees precious leona. and now hes seeing sense, more acts in the US means US x factor becomes a success. mans a retard. SMH at his mistake with alexandra, damn he doesnt even care, it was only Beyonce that got alex a US contract. and simon shipped leona out to clive davis and all his US cronies. SMDH.
