June 1, 200718 yr Author Me either, saw some pics in the paper today and she looked amazing!!! soo excited :D Edited June 1, 200718 yr by Mr. Costello
June 1, 200718 yr sorry I've listened to half of this and I pray she aint releasing this. Its not too gd, shes capable of much more and I want her to stay in the music industry for a long time. I dont want another one hit wonder, shes just too gd for that
June 1, 200718 yr There's no way she'lll release it, she did it before the x-factor so it wudn't make any sense to! can't wait to see her on tv! :dance: Her albums due out August/September I think :) Edited June 1, 200718 yr by Becky
June 3, 200718 yr Aw no I hoped she would never come back. We have enough boring stuff in the charts.
June 3, 200718 yr Aw no I hoped she would never come back. We have enough boring stuff in the charts. Well since you aint from the UK, you obviously aint been watch The X Factor...actually you probably have (youtube) but anyways, can't wait till she comes back and proves you wrong! :P :lol: Here is the performance: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q5XMCnAdWhw Just watch Simon's face when she comes on and he is like "WOW!" Has anyone else noticed how much more confident Leona is now! The way she talked to Simon when she thanked and congratulated him and sang with such emotion and showed no shyness...and I'm loving it! I knew she would cimprove with time. :D Edited June 3, 200718 yr by Mowbli
June 3, 200718 yr She did not sing for long did she but maybe that was a blessing... sorry but i thought the whole performance was cheesy and her vocals were not very good ....just my opinion of course.
June 3, 200718 yr I thought she was nothing short of AMAZING. :wub: Can't wait for the album if I'm honest. ^_^

I knew she would cimprove with time. :D Glad I gave the show a miss. Simon's smug self righteous face in that clip was enough. :puke2:The whole show from what I've read was just blatant promo for Simon's new show & his acts. Has he been reincarnated as it's only 4 or 5 years since his last This Is Your Life. :lol: Just wish he'd disappear permanently up his own arse. As for Leona she looked lovely but I'm sorry screechy verbal gymnastics don't make a good singer in my book. Edited June 3, 200718 yr by truly talented
June 3, 200718 yr zn64PgBi5B4 This is the song which is rumoured to be covered for her 2nd single Edited June 3, 200718 yr by spiker
June 3, 200718 yr What is the song and who is it by? :unsure: I don't think it's true though - right after Leona won Simon promised that she would not be working a load of covers and wanted to make something special out of her and therefore would give her original material.
June 3, 200718 yr Well since you aint from the UK, you obviously aint been watch The X Factor...actually you probably have (youtube) but anyways, can't wait till she comes back and proves you wrong! :P :lol Exactly, I only judge her for her releases, and I think it's more objective than you all who watched her every week on X-Factor. And her first single is one of the most boring stuff released ever! A really boring cover, and for me it's the worst one out of the 3 X-Factor winner singles. Of course we can hope she makes something good with her album, but I fear it'll just be like all the X-Factor winner, a non-personal album with loads of beautiful and boring ballads.
June 3, 200718 yr I hope to god that performance of the Stephen Sondheim standard is not going to be a single. For those of you who'd never heard the song until last night here is the definitive version: DJpJDWr7m7U Barbra Streisand - Somewhere (1985 USA#3) If Simon Cowell is arrogant enough to think that Leona's version is worthy of being a single, then she is going to be crucified by the critics as while Leona has a great voice, it will be nowhere near as good as Barbra's version of the song that has become a musical standard as a result. Even the Celines, Mariahs & Whitneys of the world would struggle when compared to Barbra Streisand. It was also updated by.... IklazKkJNyE Pet Shop Boys - Somewhere (1997 UK#9)
June 3, 200718 yr Thank you so much thisispop for the Barbara Streisand clip. What a voice. Stunningly beautiful version with no need for all the warbling which imo distracts from the lyrics of the song.

It's a widely unknown song by a widely unknown artist so many wouldn't even know it was a cover. It was written by the person who wrote A Moment Like This and Simon Cowell uses him a lot
