when i heard the first verse i thought it was celine dion! especially in the first line when she says "frozen" the way she sings that is a celine trademark. then she sings and sounds similar to xtina in the chorus and especially the vocal runs at the end very xtina.

 

leona can do mariah, whitney, xtina and now celine dion. i still think this is leona's problem she isn't distinctive enough, she is a very good copy cat singer a karaoke queen. but the UK doesn't have a singer like those so she could have a place here and fill a void. its interesting her people went for a mature sound more for adults, its a very 90s song. she sounds very american (simon and clive have their eye on that market for sure).

 

overall its very safe, no edge a little bland compared to rihanna's singles and britney's comeback track, they seem right for this time, but this isn't at all. however with the blanket promo (simon cowell will make her do in the UK) she will get #1.

It's not that good. :rofl:

I think it'll get to Number 1 - even though it is quite average. After all the hype about the 'long wait' I was expecting something a bit more special but its really nothing new. She does do good impressions though and she looks good. There's also a lot of goodwill towards her because whatever else ... she's just plain nice.

 

I'd still rather Take That hit number 1 instead of her though, I've heard their song and although it took a couple of listens, it's not bad at all (it ain't Patience though!)

Comparing Leona Lewis with Britney :rolleyes: One difference, Leona can sing.

I know she's going through a bad patch at the moment but Britney can sing (and this is someone who is not her greatest fan). She has also made her own mark on music in her own right, Leona is still very much 'the next ....... [insert famous diva name']

 

Besides that - Toxic is one of the best songs ever! And this is coming from an old hag such as I!

she may be able to sing i'm not disputing that, what i'm doing is comparing tracks (the lyrics and production too) not just the singing. britney's "gimme more" is hotter, fresher, edgier and more daring plus its about something honest about her life...being an attention addict and wanting more and more. its unexpected for britney to do this, its brave and risky admitting that and not apologising for her behaviour. leona's track you can imagine celine or whitney singing this its quite dated in comparison to britney's track.

i really really don't like the song - i think it sounds dated and a bit copy-cat like.

but i'm sure it will be number 1 for ages.... thing is, the x factor winner always gets their first (normally the xmas) number 1 because they sell it in shops like tesco that sell no other singles!

No she ain't - she's miles better

 

Since Mariah jumped on the R&B bandwagon - she's lost all credibility

Number one - for 4 weeks.
Why did the choices only go as far as Top 20?

because theres not a chance it will get lower then that :lol:

Although I think it'll get to number one - I don't think it'll stay there long. Two weeks max! And although she'll beat TT to number one - I think they'll stay in the chart longer than her.
