I can't believe TBYNH is so low!

I suppose it'll be BL, i'd love her to sing something else though! Apparently she's on between 7:30pm and 8pm but that's bound to change! It always runs late! :lol:

This article is from a week or so ago it just hadn't been posted here so I thought I'd post it! :lol:

Does anyone know what the set list was for the USA MD tour?

Leona gets Disney tribute LEONA LEWIS has been immortalised by DISNEY animators. The studio have depicted the chart-topping songbird as a character from their new movie Enchanted. The pretty star sports a flowing pink dress in the unique frame, which is based on a publicity shot. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article437104.ece http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a147/Becky2705/disney1.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a147/Becky2705/disney2.jpg

Take A Bow

Another interview from Channel4 website: Interview "Timbaland is nowhere to be heard" You might not know it but Ryan Tedder is responsible for two songs in the Top Ten at the moment. As well as being the frontman of One Republic and voice of Timbaland's 'Apologize' he wrote and produced Leona Lewis's number one hit 'Bleeding Love'. Tedder has been chipping away at the face of pop since winning a US reality TV show in 2000 and has finally made it. Even if no one really knows who he is yet... Quote: Hello, Ryan. Are you the most anonymously-successful man in music? Yes, I am. The immediate association is that 'Apologize' is a Timbaland song but all it takes is one listen and you realize that Timbaland is nowhere to be heard on it. When 'Promiscuous' or 'SexyBack' came out, people didn't call those Timbaland songs. Timbaland told me that he thought the song would have been a hit with or without him but that he saved us a lot of time. If he hadn't stepped in I wouldn't be doing this interview for another year at least, so for that I can take the occasional misinterpretation. It's not our fault! So, in brief, what's your story so far? I won a record deal on a show called 'MTV Total Request Live' in 2000 in America performing as a singer-songwriter but it all ended up going nowhere fast. A year later I did a deal with Timbaland and he ended up briefly getting me a solo deal with Virgin records but then that fell through as well. So after a bad experience with reality TV, why did you want to get involved with our X Factor winner Leona Lewis? When I did the song for Leona I had no concept of what X Factor was, I had never seen it and didn't care. I'd never wanted to work with an American Idol either - I just didn't like what it turned out, I didn't like the artists that came from the shows and I didn't find them compelling. But someone sent me a link earlier in the year and her voice just sounded unreal. From a writer's perspective, this girl - with or without a TV show - has one of the best voices I've ever heard. So which parts of the album can you lay claim to? I did 'Take A Bow' which is probably going to be the second single, it should be, it's an absolute smash. But I also had a song called 'Bleeding Love', which I pitched as well, and Simon Cowell said that he knew on first listen that it was 'the one'. Do you not think that Leona is maybe a little bit, well, boring to be a true superstar? I think her personality is going to have to start coming through; she does have a personality, I've been with her, I've seen it. I do think that the image that needs to be projected to be a worldwide singer is more than just the voice, although you look at Rihanna and no one knows anything about her and she's massive without any tabloid coverage. So, to sum up, you're having quite a brilliant month, aren't you? Everything that is happening right now is unreal. It's one thing for it to happen in the States but the surreal aspect is that it's happened the world over at the same time. One minute I'm doing a phone interview to New Zealand, the next Australia, then it's Poland and it's all over the globe. That part is hard to wrap my head around. You'll get used to it. Thank you erm, Whatshisname...

Here's my review :D : 1. Bleeding Love - 9/10 Obviously an amazing track! I admit I wasn't sure of it on first listen but I loved it more every time I listened to it. 2. Whatever It Takes - 7.5/10 This one also grew on me the more times I listened to it. Love the chorus and when the choir comes in at the end! 3. Homeless - 7.5/10 Again a grower for me! Not my fav on the album but the big note at the end definately makes the song for me! 4. Better in Time - 8/10 It's a nice song! Can't really think of anything else to say lol 5. Yesterday - 9.5/10 One of my favourites, love this song! I love the lyrics especially the chorus 6. Take a Bow - 9/10 Another amazing track and shows that Ryan Tedder's a great songwriter/producer! Should definately be a single and I think it'll appeal to people who say all she does is ballads! 7. I Will Be - 8.5/10 Another nice song, great vocals! 8. Angel - 8.5/10 Some people don't seem to like this one but I love it! I actually thought Leona might have written this one seeing the lyrics are very sweet! 9. Here I Am - 7/10 Nice lyrics but it'd be better if she did more big notes at the end. 10. I'm You - 7/10 I was expecting more with this song seeing it was made quite a big deal of her working with Ne-Yo. I like it more than I did but not a favourite of mine. Though I do like the oriental sound, it makes it different! 11. The Best You Ever Had - 9.5/10 Another one of my favourites. I'd love it to be a single! Very catchy, especially the chorus! I really love the high bits in the chorus even if they are hard to understand! :lol: 12. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - 9/10 I didn't know this song before I heard Leona sing it and wasn't sure at first but I love it now. Her vocals are gorgeous on it! 13. Footprints in the Sand - 9.5/10 I adore this song! The lyrics are lovely and Leona's vocals near the end are incredible! 14. A Moment Like This - UK Bonus Track - 7/10 I do quite like this song but I don't really think of it as being a proper 'Spirit' track if you know what I mean! Overall: 8.5/10 I have some songs I looooove (FIS, TAB, TBYNV, Y) and some I'm not quite sure on yet (HIA, IY) but overall I love it! Even the songs I'm not sure of Leona makes up for it with her amazing voice! I know this'll be in my cd player for a long time!

I Will Be
