Some of the comments i'm reading you can tell that the person has only listened once or twice, seriously this song really clicks after a few more listens. Its SO addictive for me.

 

Isn't that just a matter of opinion? Not everyone is necessarily going to like the song even after listening to it a couple of times, it depends on your personal taste.

It is a matter of opinion, but Karma is clearly of the 'opinion' that some may have judged too quickly... as long as we're just giving opinions all is good right? the only posts that annoy me are the ones that state opinions as fact (but that's just my opinion ;) )

In love with this, wasn't sure about it earlier, but I am in love! Praying fro Number.1 :wub:

So excited for the album now!

autumn technically doesnt start til september 21st, so it is bein released in the summer?

err no, you're confusing Autumn with the Equinox, which technically should be the middle of autumn (thanks to the ITCZ things run around a month behind but The beginning of September is still Autumn)

 

for a "Summer" song to only start its chart career midseptember (it wont chart until 13th sept) just seems silly to me. But its not the 1st time, particularly when we get US songs late (those thats not an excuse this time). It doesnt have to be a summer song though but it does sound that way.

 

I like Leona but i am disappointed at this stage. We dont need another GaGa/Rihanna - she less predictable doing what she did before these days, and the image doesnt suit her

I actually would rather see this song released around October/November, like the new "Firework"/"Happiness". :P

 

For the song, it's definitely a grower. But No.1? Really? I went for No.2 ;)

This song is as boring and dull as she is.

That's what Avicii said about this on twitter:

To answer everyone, the first time i heard leona lewis collide was today. I didnt produce it and neither me or my manager could approve it

 

To be clear im not taking credit for the melody (everything was cleared with penguin cafe orchestra and simon jeffes who wrote the song)

 

Im just upset for someone taking credit of our idea before i had a chance to release it.

 

And for the time and effort that has been put into this by my manager and label

 

So he didn't even gave them permission to use it <_<

How is Leona Lewis' 'Collide' a US song? She's British and it hasn't even been given a US release yet? :mellow:

I wouldn't say it's GaGa/Rihanna territory. The lyrics and pace are still very true to Leona. Just because it has a dance-inspired sound to it, it doesn't mean it's Rihanna/GaGa music.

 

Basically, Leona can't win. If she came out with ballads or her previous sound, she'd be called irrelevant, boring and dated and now that she's released an up-tempo, she's getting criticised for it being a huge step away from her old sound.

 

I appreciate that you might be one of the ballad Leona lovers anyway but it's just frustrating in general how the girl can't win.

Could Leona not have been more original instead of giving her song the same name as 3 albums, 2 songs and 1 band?! :manson: [/karma]

Only Syco would have this mess collide with a new single release, it is all kicking off on twitter between Sandy Vee, Autumn and Avicii.

The song sounds like a cross between Happy and Alexis Jordans Happiness-neither hot nor cold just inbetween.I am sure Top 10.

 

Somewhere in the top 3. #2 I'd say.

 

I do really love it though :wub:

This is one of her better songs and definitely a hit.

 

However, she's not original enough to compete with bigger pop stars like Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry. But that doesn't mean this song won't be able to go top 3. It all depends on the competition. She's not as big as some people here think...Her second album spent only 20 weeks in Top 75 album chart and spawned only one top 10 single.

 

This should've been released a month earlier but I guess Syco have timed everything perfectly (in their opinion) including the X Factor premiere of the second single or sth.

barring any 'plagiarism' issues, i think demand for leona will mean her release will be moved forward, to be honest, especially if the rumours of the video being shot are true... hope so anyway... i really dont think radio is gonna take long to pick up on this, so they can probably pick a betta (quieter) week to release, in august, its not like they're waiting for an xfactor performance! :-)

 

I agree, it should be brought forward to a week in August, I think it will be, I hope.

 

What I love about Collide is its still Leona, just with a relevant, dance beat. She hasnt gone too far in trying to hard, she's just produced a song perfect for her in the sense its not too much away from her and its not the same as her old material. Nobody can say she hasnt progressed or developed her sound. :)

I know what he is trying to say but I think you have missed the point I was making that regardless of how many times some people listen to a song, they may not like it.

Ofcourse that is true, but what i'm saying is give it a few listens before people start making their minds up, for some people, and for some songs, it takes more then one listen to come up with a final judgement of the song. :)

weak comeback, she should release only ballads ala Run.

Lmao at people here thinking it will become a success just because they want it to :lol: No doubt they'll blame on-air-on-sale/promotion/Reggie Yates when it inevitably fails to live up to their expectations.

 

I say it'll scrape to about #8 before plunging down the chart. This is a truly BAFFLING career move - no club is ever going to play a Leona Lewis song so she's not going to get many young people interested, AND she's going to alienate the older audience that made her so successful in the first place with this new sound. The fall cometh.

How can they blame OA/OS when it's been held back for weeks, and it will obviously get A-listed by R1 by mid-August so they can't blame poor promotion? :wacko:
