She didn't "accuse"him. He didn't, she commented on it.

She has THE most annoying voice in the universe and I absolutly hate her music.She could be right about Alexandra but who is she to comment really,noone knows how big Alex is going to be I think its alot to do with the luck of the draw with xfactor winners and alot of it is down to the management.

Because it usually sounds like sour grapes when its from another musician. Especially when its a musician who didnt have the privelege of instant over night success.

IMO she will have a great career and will go the Rihanna direction.the only reason people say shes more versatile than Leona is because she sang more up-beat songs and danced during her time on XFactor IMHO.Leona is much more versatile,not only can she sing rock,heavy hip hop and oprea(which BTW Alex could only dream of pulling off) but she can write it to.

Rock? Sorry I couldn't imagine her pulling that one off and the hip hop one is laughable she sounded so unfortable in Forgive me how could she do Heavy Hip Hop? Opera she could probably do but not well. She's got an amazing voice but she isn't as versatile as Alex.

Forgive Me isnt heavy hip hop.
this is.i know its crap but its still heavy hip-hop IMO
Leona Lewis Ft Ludacris - Private Party

Rock

Tom4784 05-01-2009 11:58 AM

I never said Forgive me was heavy hip hop I was saying that if she was uncomfortable with that then she couldn't really do well in that genre. With the Ludacris song you could argue that it was only a feat. performance and doesn't count since Elton john featured in a Tupac song but you wouldn't say he could do gangster rap.

I don't think Leona could pull of either genre in a solo and remember there's a difference between doing something and doing something well. I like Leona but her versatility only stretches as far as pop and light RnB.

what makes you think she was uncomfortable with FM?as for Private Party,the song is still Hip-Hop without Ludacris's part.a song doesnt have to include rap to be Hip-Hop.

im not 100% sure of the defenition of the word versatile so correct me if im wrong but versatile(in this context) means she can sing many different genre's,whether she sings them well or not is a metter of opinion,and in my opinion she does.she was singing solo in the Rock video i posted which was absoloutely amazing IMO.

Okay I'll let you have the hip hop one but i'm not giving up on the rock and opera, she can sing to a rock backing track but she can't sing in a rock style as there isn't enough raw power to her voice. This video is a good example of an excellent female rock vocal.



She hasn't got the rawness for rock. With that Opera clip she was just kinda singing normally as Somewhere can be sung normally, she just put on a more grandiose voice then usual. If she busts out with Nessun Dorma or Time to say goodbye then fair enough. Anyone can sing a song but you need to have a certain style of voice to actually pull it off.

xDramatick 05-01-2009 12:43 PM

LOL @ leona singing rock.
Her 'whole lotta love' made me cry in pain =(

She's too trained to be a rock singer :|
Her voice just doesn't suit the genre.

As for opera, go search Sarah Brightman and then tell me who's voice can carry off opera/classical better.

Tom4784 05-01-2009 12:54 PM

I don't think we'll be able to resolve this debate as I think we're both pretty stubborn on our opinions how about we agree to disagree?

your right about her not singing in a rock style,but thats not the point i was making,the point i was making is that she can sing rock.in that clip i posted she sang rock beautifully without changing the genre from rock to pop like she did with Run.IMO that clip prooves she can sing rock,not have a career in rock.as for Oprea i agree with you that the clip 30stone posted,even though i love it is just her singing with oprea.but she went to oprea school for like 3 years when she was younger,she even wanted to have a career in oprea up until she was like 20 then she changed her mind.the only clip there is of her singing anything oprea online is this(the sound quality is awful).the first 30 seconds is whats known in the oprea world as an RnB aria.
anyway the point i was trying to make is not that Leonas versatile(even i think she is),its taht shes more versatile than Alex!i genuinely cant see why you would still think shes more versatile after watching these clips.

No no no I don't see it as an argument I just think that soemtimes it's best to agree to disagree. To show no hard feelings I present to you a dancing banana.

:banana:

Cool......I was beginning to wonder why a comment made by Amy Mac about Alex should turn into a thread about what Leona should/shouldn't/can/can't sing........:dazzler: Don't think she'll mind the comments about her not being a real heavy rocker or opera singer, somehow.....

:dance:
