.MIKE.

Gutting! Gutting! Gutted!

I like it, I like that she's doing something different this time round.. Private show sounds like it's going to be better though!

So surprised by this.. I find it amazing, one of their best for sure.. And they didn't try to recreate 'Black Heart' which is what I expected! 😎

It's fantastic.. Forgot how much I love Bastille!

😰

Come back with another incredible song.. Here's hoping to more UK success this time aroung

Thanks for the game! Next time I will win.. 😅

I think it's brilliant news.. It gets her name out there again.. And it does it in the US.. And I think Broadway is an amazing achievement and it helps with credibility/losing that X factor tag

It's gonna be so good..👌 I can feel it in my bones!

Listen to a song and form an opinion.. I think that's only a quick thing is it not?

It's good, really good. It's not another WFL or as good.. Buts it's a solid track. I just wish it really took off somewhere, it's not as big as I was expecting

Well... I think she's just out beyonce'd us! 'Lemonade' is literally LIFE right now.. Genuinely didn't think she was going to be able to improve on the last album.. I think she might have (although it is early to say). 08 Pray You Catch Me 09 Hold Up 08 Don't Hurt Yourself 10 Sorry 08 6 Inch 10 Daddy Lessons 10 Love Drought 09 Sandcastles 09 Forward 10 Freedom 10 All Night 10 Formation The videos/visual is pretty spectacular... June cannot come quick enough #formationtourmanchester

After hearing 'one strike' and 'one woman man' I thought I would hesitantly give the album a listen. Tracks 1-8 are genuinely surprisingly brilliant.. Seriously fantastic album.. Goes downhill from 'ratchet behaviour' though

I always appreciate the 'news' you bring to DS and all that.. But seriously, dude.. All you do is spread negativity and argue.. Calm down a bit. Everyone else is entitled to their opinions on Leona, her music and what direction they think she should be going in just as much as you are.. She is still here, and she deserves to be, in my opinion, she's the best that there is 😍. However, the last couple of 'eras' havnt gone so well.. I don't think features or EPs are bad ideas.. She needs to slowly rebrand and lose the X factor/competition tag.. She's mega talented.. Although I'd be happy with anything she did

Slay me! Love it so much 😍😍 Very glad it isn't another 'someone like you'

Okay so I went to the album listening party today and met leona - she's so amazing in person :-) The album as a whole is so strong and her best IMO.. 'You knew me when' is fantastic.. But I wouldn't release it as a single. The lyrics are beautiful but it doesn't have that wow factor vocally.. It doesn't have that big vocal peak.. But it's really nice. Thank you was seriously beautiful 😍

Thank you! I don't think I've ever been so excited for anything in my whole life! thought I'd lighten the mood of this thread tonight... hahah!

Thank you :-) Do you know what happens at these listening parties? I'm so excited.. I've never even been to London before! :-))

So Ive had an email and am going to the album listening thing on Sunday.. Will she actually be there or do they just play the album?

Well, all the papers say she is replacing mel tonight. So they may squeeZe some promo in somehow

Who I wanted to win in... 2004: G4 2005: Shayne Ward 2006: Leona Lewis 2007: Same Difference 2008: Alexandra Burke 2009: Olly Murs 2010: Rebecca Ferguson 2011: Little Mix 2012: James Arthur 2013: Luke Friend

Wow! easily two of the best songs she's done so far.. must agree with the rest, both songs are much better than anything on 'Ultraviolence'

Rebel Heart is the best thing she's done in a long time! Hope it's an indication of how good the album is, I havn't really liked anything since confessions..

That lead is so impressive! and to think a few weeks ago I didn't think there was a chance in hell that anybody would top the yearly sales for 'Happy'

A certain judge?! please tell me what 'talent' Simon and Louis have.. And, I'm not sure why Cheryl gets so much hate when Mel B has had such a flop career as a solo artist.. and the Spice Girls were hardly known for their vocal talent.
