One tweet that stuck out to me 'Is leona Lewis releasing new songs? I haven't heard from her since 2007'

 

This is the exact reaction I was hoping Island would try to overcome. Getting her back in the public eye a bit more and having people remember how talented she is.

 

Tbh, I wouldn't take that seriously. She's from the UK, there's no way she didn't hear from Leona in 2010. Especially in 2008 with Run etc

I hope she regularly has her vocal folds checked by a professional. Sounds like she might have nodes.

I'm sure she does. She says she takes her voice seriously and that she works with Brett Manning, who is a renowned coach.

The performance was not bad in the slightest. The song is just not good enough to be leading an album

 

It's just a shame that's the promo already over in the UK.

LOL. Some of you are special. You expect Leona to sound the exact same way she does on a record, reverb, compressions et al included. The performance wasn't bad at all. Her voice just sounded dry...probably just because of bad hydration. She looks pretty. The lotto spot doesn't seem to have done much for the album, time to move on to the next slots. I AM may also be a low-impact song when it comes to tv performances...all the reason why I suggested YKMW for all her tv promo spots. I just think it impacts much better than a lot of the other songs on the album. THUNDER, for example, needs at least seven listens before you properly warm to it. It's perfect for radio because of its gentle brilliance, but live on just the first listen, I don't see how impact get's high.

 

 

I actually thought that was a strong performance from Leona. The lotto is not the best platform to push music as people watching it are only bothered about getting their numbers. The fact the video isn't out by this point is just awful though. They really need to just move on now. As much as I like I Am now, it is not a song that hits you on the first listen (or second or third for me tbh). I seriously hope Leona gets an X Factor/strictly slot and performs YKMW/ALS/IGY. Those are the more 'instant' tracks (at least for me) and I think would come across well on a TV live performance. I would say Power, but I don't think that is quite as instant and that one would rely on a perfect performance from Leona to do it justice. Think she would find it easier doing a live performance of the other 3.

Special?

 

Members are allowed their own opinions and because it's different from yours don't even consider calling them "special" because that is incredibly offensive.

FROM a DS poster

 

Guys, I thought it would be a good idea sum up what do fans think should be the next single. So I made a poll, where you can vote http://vsevjednom.cz/ank/34710

You can only vote once, just by clicking the song, you want to be the next single. (I excluded the deluxe tracks)

I'm not sure when I'm going to end the voting yet.

I voted for Power for reasons I expressed before. I think her fanbase are going to go for ALS, but it won't cater to her audience at all.

The LOL before that remark indicates that it was said entirely in jest. No need to take offense. Damn. I'll watch my 'barbs' from now on anyway. 'Special' link to the BBC performance, please.

I don't think so, I think I Got You will lead that poll.

I think as it coming close to the christmas season, You Knew Me When would be the most ideal choice as this is the time of year when ballads usually perform their best. Save ALS/IGY/Power for the new year.

 

Just been looking at the spotify plays for the tracks from this album (including the single releases). Another Love Song has over double the amount of spins compared to I Am, which has been available to stream much longer as well as having 'good' radio support and tv promo. Just shows really how poor a choice it was as a single. People are simply not that bothered about the song.

So the results from that fan poll were revealed tonight with I Got You in a landslide victory with 48% of the vote, followed by Another Love Song with 16%.

How could they not have though? 'Run' was massive back in 2008, Leona's performed on XF six times since 2007 when the show was watched by ridiculous amounts and 'One More Sleep' got blanket coverage from commercial radio in the UK.

 

It's just a shame that's the promo already over in the UK.

 

I think there's going to be quite a bit more between now and Christmas. She's already got the BBC Music Awards and the Capital Jingle Ball lined up (from Soe who told us about the now-confirmed Ellen gig). I'm intrigued to see whether the CJB is for definite though since Capital haven't supported Leona so far with this album.

I am hopeful that wasn't just a mistake, they did make a mistake on the German promo and Ellen apparently wasn't confirmed at the time we were told, just in talks or something, so that might not have been set in concrete at the time.

 

Here is hoping they made some sort of deal with Capital and they heard some of the tracks and said they'd support them, as that would really turn this campaign around.

I doubt she will play at the Capital Jingle Bell Ball unless they randomly decide to support 'Another Love Song'.

Lol I was listening to this earlier and on the verses my mum asked if it was Shakira!! um what.

#9 in the mids.

Waiting for the video like.....

I really have my doubts whether we'll even get the video, it was delayed because she wasn't happy with it and apparently they reshot it, but its weird that still nothing has surfaced, except little snippets in tv ads.
