Leon Jackson says he finds it difficult to compete against other winners of the X Factor, since he won the contest in 2007.
Jackson linked the popularity of names like Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke to their sex, suggesting females are better vocal performers than males.
"Women vocalists have an amazing voice range," Leon told The Daily Record. "They can reach really high notes and often they have a strong diva-like image."
"Both Leona and Alex have really big voices. There's no doubting they can nail songs that us guys can't. I think that gives them a certain edge."
"Females always generate attention from the way they look, too. They are always changing their hair and some of their outfits can be really daring - it can be really hard to compete."
Leon Jackson will be touring in May and June, and some tickets are still available for those live dates here.
