"X Factor" host Simon Cowell said that the "A Moment Like This" singer, who is now the first woman to ever win the ITV series, will now take her time making a quality debut album.

"Leona has an opportunity, I think, to become a major, major worldwide star," Cowell, who recently signed a new three-year deal with ITV, told the paper. "We're not going to make an album quickly; we're going to make the best possible album."
