September 17, 200816 yr I've listened a few times now and its starting to get on my nerves. I just wish she'd get rid of that little whimpering warble she does at the end of almost every note. She will, undoubtedly get to number 1, but I would really like it if she didn't now. Norma Just a suggestion; if a song is getting on your nerves, don't listen to it anymore. :P
September 17, 200816 yr Number 1 probably. An appearance on the x factor will almost guarantee it the top position. Plus Leona always receives lots of radio airplay as well - so difficult to fail with a half decent song. X factor must be the most powerful TV promotional tool for any artist. Leon will also benefit this year and no doubt he'll get to the top as well if the timing and radio support is right. Shayne sang 'Breathless' last year but for some reason the download wasn't available until one week later, and he got virtually no radio play so 'only' made no. 6.
September 17, 200816 yr Just a suggestion; if a song is getting on your nerves, don't listen to it anymore. :P I've stopped listening and cleaned my ears out with the Girls Aloud song ... and you're right ... I feel much better. Then I listened to Katy Perry ... and I liked it! I hope never to listen to Leona's warbling again! Thanks Ethereal for the suggestion. You're a star! Norma

Norma You're welcome. :) Hope you give me the same advice when Mark from TT penetrates my ear drum. :D
September 17, 200816 yr You're welcome. :) Hope you give me the same advice when Mark from TT penetrates my ear drum. :D Ethel! I hope you don't mind me calling you Ethel? I totally agree with you on that one! I would like you to know that I was one of those that DID NOT download his dreadful 'Hail Mary' solo song. My husband cannot abide his voice either! But as part of a foursome ... he is quite wonderful. Norma

But as part of a foursome ... he is quite wonderful. Norma LOL well how many 19 year old guys do you know called Ethel? :lol:
September 17, 200816 yr Someone said the video is very American early - well I think that's gonna be her in a nutshell from now on. She's huge in America, and in all the videos and stuff I expect her to be marketed towards an American audience rather than the British one, purely because America has a lot more to offer in terms of money for Cowell and co. With the song... I dunno. I really like the verses, but I hate the chorus, it just does nothing to me, doesn't sound catchy and at all, and sounds pretty flat. I reckon it'll go in at #2.
September 18, 200816 yr LOL well how many 19 year old guys do you know called Ethel? :lol: Hmmm! Now let me see! Norma
September 18, 200816 yr The good thing with this release is that it will bring in a new market for Leona - previously she was very pop/RnB ballad associated, whereas this shifts her into the uptempo crowd with e.g. Stefani. The market was saturated as far as Spirit was concerned and in need of an injection of new blood.
September 18, 200816 yr Ok a mod on her official site asked the admin and apparently Sony messed up yesterday and it is still 27th October. Back to November 3rd now ;)
September 18, 200816 yr This was posted on her site, surely thats it then? Sep 18 2008 - Release Date Changes If you’re as excited as we are about the release of Leona’s funky new single ‘Forgive Me’ and the re-release of her smooth album ‘Spirit’ in deluxe form, then you’ll have noticed that the release dates have changed. ‘Forgive Me’ will now reach us on the 3rd November and… ‘Spirit: The Deluxe Edition’ will now be out on the 17th November.
September 18, 200816 yr I have to say, am I the only one amazed it took so long for someone to copy 'The Sweet Escape'?
