May 31, 201312 yr There as been alot of talk about her doing xmas album, I am actually looking forward too cause have always wanted her to do a Christmas EP and people are writing songs for it so will be some NEW xmas songs and some covers I think heres a tweet Busy sat in the sun writing a Christmas record for @leonalewismusic. It's a strange life. https://twitter.com/magicitofficial/status/...472896319287296
May 31, 201312 yr I predict her next album will be a dirt-cheap Westlife/Susan Boyle-style album full of cover versions, marketed squarely as a Christmas present for mums and grannies. Hate to say I told you so :P
May 31, 201312 yr Hate to say I told you so :P Only partly right ;) People are actually writing Christmas songs for her so wont be all covers.

June 1, 201312 yr ^ If you click the link I put you can see a Leona fan asking if its just a one off song/ a few xmas songs or if shes doing a Christmas album and he replied saying a Christmas album :) (i'll put the printscreen of this at the bottom) Plus there was also this week a few days ago off some woman This week I will be driving to Oxford to be part of a choir for a recording of a Christmas song for Leona Lewis...how exciting #lovinglife https://twitter.com/JudasKissX Here's the printscreen of it getting confirmed as a Christmas Album http://i39.tinypic.com/t8kv94.jpg Edited June 1, 201312 yr by BrookeOlivia
June 2, 201312 yr Who on Earth thinks this is a good idea? I bet Syco is forcing her into doing this to end her contract. I'd rather she released a compilation than this. You can't save a flopping career with a Christmas album.
June 2, 201312 yr It's June and I'm sat in the sun holding a beer, writing a Christmas record about dancing in the snow for @leonalewismusic. Normal, right?!? https://twitter.com/bensoncomposer Another tweet about someone writing xmas song for her from 3 hours ago, Don't know if hes well known song writer but he as over 19 thousand followers on twitter.
June 5, 201312 yr Who on Earth thinks this is a good idea? I bet Syco is forcing her into doing this to end her contract. I'd rather she released a compilation than this. You can't save a flopping career with a Christmas album. Technically speaking, they can count the Labrynth DVD/Live CD as an album and finish her contract with the Christmas album. I think a Christmas album could be a good idea. She'll have new management, be appealing to an older fanbase (who buy albums more so) and it'll be the 10th series of X-factor, so I'm sure she'll get promoted on it, perhaps on a live show and the final. Plus, she may pave the way for people to save their careers with the magic of Christmas. P.S: I don't care if it massively bombs, I'm over success now and just want the music from Leona <3
June 7, 201312 yr Oh ern not sure how to feel about a Xmas album... I guess artists do do it then release new material after..
June 7, 201312 yr Oh ern not sure how to feel about a Xmas album... I guess artists do do it then release new material after.. There's been quite a few tweets from people working with Leona on it, so there will be a bunch of original material. Plus, some of the material might not be reference Christmas, but more so winter. I'm sure we'll get some huge ballads from this and I hope we'll get her versions of "O Holy Night" and "White Christmas" in a HQ studio recording. :wub: Edited June 7, 201312 yr by Envoirment
June 8, 201312 yr I can't see a christmas album doing very well for Leona Lewis. Even more established artists sometimes struggle with christmas album sales and only a few do well such as Buble and Celine Dion, let alone someone who is struggling in their career.
June 12, 201312 yr A Christmas album sounds absolutely TERRIBLE. I love Leona, but I really don't want a Christmas album which I can play for all of about two weeks of the year. Awful idea as she's already struggling and I highly doubt this will help her.
June 21, 201312 yr Never harmed Michael Buble, did it? :P (I know she will not get nearly as many sales as he has, but it's not a completely stupid decision :lol:) Plus it'd be nice if she managed to find her own Christmas hit. I truly believe it's what's kept people interested in Mariah's career. :lol:
June 21, 201312 yr If Joe McElderry can sell 100k copies with a Christmas album, I don't see why Leona can't. But it'd be pretty embarrassing if she wouldn't.
June 21, 201312 yr If Joe McElderry can sell 100k copies with a Christmas album, I don't see why Leona can't. But it'd be pretty embarrassing if she wouldn't. Believe it or not, Joe McElderry's previous album before his Xmas album actually sold more than Leona's recent album did. Xmas albums have started performing better than they used to in the UK recently, but they still typically sell less than a "regular" album by any artist -- even Michael Buble's Xmas album, although it was huge, still sold quite a bit less than his previous, regular studio album. In light of that, it would be pretty remarkable if Leona's Xmas album manages to outsell 'Glassheart', especially since her label might not be willing to spend as much on promotion as last time.
