Lift Me Up

So simple and so stunning. I ask anyone who likes Birdy and her stripped down style to check out an unsigned American artist called Kiersten Holine. Search for her on You tube she has her channel with quite a lot of songs, mainly covers (including Skinny Love !) but all sung with that unplugged/acoustic style. Her voice does not yet have the power of Birdy but she has lovely tone. Check her out, you got nothing to lose, my favourite is her cover of God Only Knows.

What happened Ashley ? Where's the top 5 !??!!!? :( Pretty please :)

Not heard the original of Let the sun shine (Labrinth ?) to compare but loved this version. Leona's faultless live vocals as ever :) As Jonjo said, stunning.

after JayZ why not another mega-artist, Eminem :unsure:

Nice song. I really like it but have to agree its obviously not intended as a release. Anyone know when/if next official release may happen ? Or when she might be looking to start work on new material again ? Or is she already ?

Sorry me too. I'm blaming the Swine flu. couldn't hardly do anything for days :-(

oh and a Leona one :P

It didn't happen :-( nevermind, there's always next year.

Alicia with Rebecca on X-Factor ? woww how good would that be :) It could win the show for her just like Beyonce did for Alex with that unforgettable performance of Listen 2 years ago. Hope she does but somehow I can't see it :(

sadly it was all lies :(

Good isdea Jonjo, keep track of how we're doing. Are you able to post this weekly (or monthly) ? If we drop below 30 then we should all be ashamed. Need to keep at least in the top 30 or we could get threatened with closure again ? :(

Haven't been on BJ for a few weeks but I'm back now. And here to stay, all the while there is an Alicia forum :wub: (and a Shakira one and a Christina one !! :) )

you going to the O2 just before Christmas ? I wanted to go and had priority tickets but no one to go with :(

^good advice. thanks Mark

Personally i prefer WTYSMS ober Unthinkable, I love the piano on this song. I know its a key part of all her songs but this is one where the piano seems to somehow take lead and the vocals follow. Can't quite explain but its somehow different, can't quite put my finger on it.
