Its an amazing song anyway and nothing will ever beat the original but from someone who isn't a fan of Leona and her music/her genre she does come pretty close! That surely says quite a bit about it if I can say that?

yerh i think that what leona did just gained her more respect from people!

at least shes not just going for rnb/hip hop etc!

btw *off topic*
what gendre of music do you listen to

Tom · 16-11-2008, 12:48 AM

Anything really but mainly indie/dance/r&b/hip hop. Leona isn't really my thing, I'm not usually too keen on her voice or her style of singing. I never doubt her talent though and by far she deserved to win and have all the success she has, its just my personal preference thats all.

But I like how shes still the same person she was (as Simon mentioned), shes still the quiet person she was which kind of makes her endearing (well to her fans anyway). Fame hasn't gone to her head like most of them who flop ...

Think her cover of Run is great, prefer Forgive Me though.

Leona's management have cocked it up yet again. The Spirit Deluxe Edition and Run isn't being added to UK iTunes now until 3rd December three weeks away.

Guess what popped up on Britney's favourite tracks list?

Britneys fave music tracks:

Leona Lewis “Bleeding Love”

“It's such a well written love song that everyone can relate to.”

LOL this must of been sooo uncomfortable[taken from Piers Morgan's blog]

Quote:

I sat down for dinner, and Leona took her seat opposite, with what appeared to be an extensive entourage.

‘What are you, Leona’s make-up artist?’ I asked the blonde to my right.
‘Yes,’ she replied. ‘And I’m happy to serve her.’
‘What’s your name?’

She passed me her place-setting tag, which read: Anastacia.
‘The only other person I know with that name is that sexy pop star…’

Leona started to snigger. I turned back to the ‘make-up artist’, and the penny dropped like a two-ton weight on my head.
‘Ah, I see. You are the sexy pop star.’
Within ten minutes, we’d bonded, and Anastacia wasn’t shy in coming forward – to put it mildly.
‘My t**s are toxic,’ she said.
‘Sorry?’

‘I went in for a boob reduction and they found I had breast cancer. But I’m OK now.
Though I’ve got Crohn’s disease, too, so watch you don’t catch anything tonight.’

I looked over at the lady to Leona’s left. ‘Don’t tell me you’re a pop star, too?’
‘I’m Keisha,’ she replied.

‘A Sugarbabe,’ added Leona helpfully.

MarkWaldorf · 28-11-2008, 05:20 PM

Yay she was at the Bambis too?

xDramatick · 04-12-2008, 08:21 PM

Outta curiosity [this isn't a dig, I actually am curious], how many songs on Spirit in total were covers [by covers, I mean, weren't intended for her/recorded by someone else].

So far I've got -
A Moment Like This (Kelly Clarkson)
Bleeding Love (Jesse McCartney)
I Will Be (Avril Lavigne)
Homeless (Darin)
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (Roberta Flack)
Run (Snow Patrol)

Have I missed any?
I only got thinking about this while listening to Leon's album, 'cos loads of those are covers but not well known.

robb · 05-12-2008, 12:49 PM

I Will Be and Homeless are such strong tracks...........................Run has almost 100k download sales this week!!

KKBL · 05-12-2008, 11:37 PM

Bleeding Love wasn't orginally Leona's song?! I never knew that!

Nope, it was written by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney for Jesse's album. He didn't think it fit his musical direction so he gave it to Leona, and after it was successful, he put his version as a bonus track on his album. They're both good versions vocally, Jesse's shows his voice like NEVER before and obviously I prefer his version LOL

&cheers KKBL. I'd like to see her do no covers. Run was magical in the LL so I'd like to see her do LL again, but without releasing it and ruining it >=[ lol
I just realized that all her number #1s are covers/intended for someone else. haha, it's like being on the X-Factor

robb · 09-12-2008, 12:23 PM

Wasn't 'Halo' on Beyonce's latest album written for Leona, but she couldn't record it 'cos she was too busy or somethin? There are loads of examples of that happening down the years.
Three Number 1's (plus US number 1) with songs 'not meant/originally recorded by' Leona? Not a bad record, eh?
