Was watching NBA and she is doing their Christmas Games Promo during Ad breaks lol.

"On Christmas Day, when ESPN and ABC will be airing five NBA games starting at noon, you'll hear "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Leona Lewis as part of the day's coverage.

The song appears on Lewis' “Christmas, With Love” album. It's the British singer's tribute to the classic "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector," and Lewis covers three songs from that record, which was released 50 years ago and is still widely deemed the best pop music holiday album ever made.

You can sample or download it here: iTunes | Amazon"

Not a fan of hers by any means, but her Christmas song is great. I thought it was Mariah Carey when I first heard it. Which I suppose in some circles, is a compliment. :joker:

It deserves to be No 1 for Christmas.

One More Sleep #3 for 2 weeks, on the biggest week of sales of the year too! Sold over 100k in 3 weeks :elephant:

Christmas, with love also sold 100k in 3 weeks, did better than glassheart in just 3 weeks & It was a xmas album, which are usually destined too flop :laugh:

The label will be proud of that for probably 2 weeks of recording.

Leona revealed she hopes her new album will be out in the summer in todays Daily Star,

Quote:
Leona Lewis is hoping to have her fifth studio album out in time for the summer, although which summer is anyone's guess. Motivated by her Christmas album's success and her new Motown sound LeLe told me: "I've started work on my next album and I'd love it to be out this summer, but it could take two or three years". Her third album Glassheart took three years to make and failed to set the charts alight. But she has no regret's: "I won't release an album until I am 100% happy."

Dear fans,
has been a turbulent year. The emotions I felt were more intense, both positive and negative.
Sometimes I feel extremely depressed, other times I feel great elation; However, now, the sad moments outnumber the happy ones.
So I am writing this letter to those who have felt and still feel the same way.
Someone once told me that worry is equivalent to always stay under an umbrella to avoid getting wet when it rains.
However, in doing so, it will never be possible to enjoy the warmth of the sun.

I worry so much. I worry about my family, because I'm away from them for most of the time. I worry for the future, for work, for my aspect, for the images of horror that appear in the news, the way in which humans treat other humans, animals and the environment.
Sometimes it is too much to bear and sink into a black tunnel.
However, it happens to see pictures of a man who saves the day by the flood or of a protester who is opposed to the war peacefully standing up in front of the tanks.
Sometimes it helps to meditate calmly not suffer.

One of the biggest changes was to leave Syco and Sony.
As in all relationships, we had ups and downs. I will always be grateful for what we shared and the lessons I've learned.
After several years, I have thought and thought about leaving the label. I was scared to get out of a situation somewhat safe, even though I knew that I Syco and we were no longer in harmony and sometimes in total disagreement.
I clung to this situation as safe as now I was used to doing.
One day everything changed.
For my fifth album, I was asked to make a record that would not be representative of my way of being. I mean, you have the opportunity to make a record in this time of crisis is one thing of which I am very grateful.
But I can not record an album that does not speak of myself, who does not speak to my soul.
So I decided that I could no longer have to compromise and I made the choice to leave Syco.

I was threatened if I had pursued my intent, the Syco would have publicly announced to have me discharged.
This made me very badly, but at this point nothing would prevent me from reaching my goal.
The end of a relationship can be really suffer, but in the end there is still a bit 'of love.

Change is uncomfortable, unsettling. It can be painful, can upset your whole world and you have to decide whether to sink or swim.
I decided to swim.
I decided to go ahead but, honestly, I do not know how it will end.
But I'm sure of one thing: I was true to myself and I followed my heart.
So, whatever the future will bring, I'm ready.
Knowing that you are with me on this trip warms my heart.
Thank you for being here with me.
I will love you always,
Leona.

#pray4lele I really hope her career can be revived away from syco. Here for new music regardless

[reece(:]

Syco taints innocent pop gurls

[Smithy]

It was pretty obvious they were pulling the strings and trying to appeal to mass audience with the dancey songs on glassheart

She should try and go back to her spirit sounding music, that would do really well

[Marc]

She should apply for the X factor
