she looks amazing in her.. maybe just a lil bit better then bleeding love.
i prefer the UK one.
WASTE. OF. MONEY. but its not leonas or ours so im not fussed ;D
Yup, when it was first announced I said that the original vid is fine and another one didn't need making, they should just spend the money on more songs. But now we're getting new songs and we have this new vid so I'm not fussed really. :D

I love it! She looks absolutely gorgeous in it, her eyes especially are stunning.
It's a very simple vid, not a lot going on in terms of extras and camera shots etc but I think that's the point; to not distract from Leona and her voice. The first vid is packed with content where as this is more laid back. :) Not sure which I prefer, I like them both for different reasons.

U.K. Singer and Songwriter Leona Lewis to Release Debut Album Spirit in the U.S. on April 8thLewis In The Studio Recording New Tracks For The U.S. Release
NEW YORK, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- U.K. singer and songwriter Leona
Lewis will release her debut album, Spirit, on J Records/SyCo Music on
April 8, 2008.
Lewis, a 22-year-old London native and winner of the hit TV show the X
Factor, a British talent show, has broken all-time sales records there with
Spirit entering the album chart at Number One and becoming Britain's
fastest-selling debut ever. Spirit has scanned more than a 2 million copies
worldwide since its release in November. In addition, Spirit's lead-off
single "Bleeding Love" -- co-written and produced by OneRepublic frontman
Ryan "Alias" Tedder -- was the U.K.'s best-selling single of 2007, claiming
the Number One spot for seven weeks. Ushering in 2008, Leona received four
prestigious Brit Award nominations, the U.K. equivalent of the Grammy
Awards. A U.S. video for "Bleeding Love," shot by acclaimed video director
Jessy Terrero, will premiere on VH-1 February 4th and will be part of their
highly coveted "You Oughta Know" campaign. "Bleeding Love" is currently
available for purchase on iTunes and will impact radio the first week of
February.
Simon Cowell tipped off Clive Davis to Lewis' talent during the X
Factor competition. "I was immediately knocked out by her range, her
versatility, and the pure beauty of her voice," said Davis. "She is an
artist who will be a true star for many years to come." For the first time,
Davis and Cowell teamed up to sign Lewis to J Records/ SyCo Music (Cowell's
joint venture with Sony BMG), and are both actively involved in the
recording process for Spirit. Comments Cowell "In my opinion Leona is one
of the most talented singers I have ever heard. I have a feeling America is
going to feel the same way about her."
In between international promotion for her album, Leona is currently in
the studio recording two brand new tracks for the U.S. release of Spirit --
"Forgive Me" by singer/songwriter superstar Akon and "Misses Glass" from
the cutting edge producer/writers Madd Scientist and RockCity.
Spirit is a mix of fresh pop and R&B, filled with "songs with a
contemporary edge," as Lewis puts it, ranging from soulful up-tempo numbers
("I'm You," "The Best You Never Had," and "Whatever It Takes," which Lewis
co- wrote) to ballads ("Better in Time," "I Will Be," and "The First Time I
Ever Saw Your Face" -- a song that Roberta Flack made famous). Tracks were
written and produced by an array of top-notch hit-makers, including Tedder,
singer/songwriters Akon and Ne-Yo, songwriters Josh Alexander and Billy
Steinberg, and songwriter/producers Dallas Austin, Stargate, J.R. Rotem,
and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald -- all of whom have worked with some of the
biggest names in pop.
"I wanted to make an album that was totally me," says Lewis, who has
been performing since the age of 5. "The lyrics reflect things that I'm
really passionate about. I have to be able to put myself in the song for it
to ring true to me. If it doesn't ring true to me, it's not going to be
believable to anyone else."
In addition to gracing the covers of U.K. fashion publications like
Harper's Bazaar, U.S. media are touting Leona as the artist to watch in
2008: People Magazine labels her "the U.K.'s hottest star in an
"Introducing" piece," Vogue presents her in their "People Are Talking About
-- The Vogue 25 Cultural Highlights of 2008" and Entertainment Weekly
declares her one of "8 To Watch in 2008."
Exciting! :D
