... but performances which weren't up to the usual Leona standard e.g. ISY on Dancing With the Stars and SCYHO on X Factor, saying that mind you those performances would blow anything on this years X Factor away.
I thought she was awesome singing SCYHO...
I know we were all hoping for something (other than a cover) off Echo at the time, and I was gutted too when it was that song, and not one of the fan favs like OMH, CB or IGY...but her performance of the song was her usual fantastic self.... to my <admittedly 'ageing'> ears at least! There was a little sound glitch right at the beginning, but that's deffo one of my fav clips of her. I play it a LOT.
Enjoyed Leona in that performance, she was brilliant. And god, you guys weren't joking when you said she looked hot. Hope she keeps that look. Sexy!!!
For anyone buying the Blu-ray version of the tour, it's only £8.95 on Amazon. The same price and the non Blu-ray. Wonder if thats a mistake? Sites like HMV and Play.com selling for like £13.99.
I'm wishing they'll add a Blu-ray version that includes a CD, but I know they probably wont. Still don't know which one to get
I've just put my pre-order in for the BR version of it and sure enough, it deffo says £8.95 for on the receipt for the Blu Ray version! I was going to order it off there a week or two ago too....but thought I'd hold back to see if it could be had for less elsewhere. Glad I did now

She was awesome As Eth said her lower range at the beginning was affected by a throat problem but she delivered on the important parts!:D

Yeah I thought she was too. There were just a few ropey lower notes in the verses and first two choruses because they are all in her lower register. The same thing happened during the first verse in I Got You at the Radio 2 Sessions because she was still recovering. It can be difficult to get on pitch when you have a cold. She smashed the ending though.
Spirit's longevity is really extraordinary. Do we know in Germany is albums sell in big numbers on digital sites like iTunes or is it mostly physical copies?
The Kanye thing just re-affirms the regard and profile Leona has in the industry in America. If they come up with commercial, radio friendly songs I think the foundations are there for Leona to be huge in the U.S once again. Despite the setbacks of the last year, for an X Factor winner to be in Leona's position is just astonishing.

Run's also #1 (and 54, 69 and 99) on musicload.de which is the other huge German mp3/music store.
Strange thing with Austria/Switzerland is I'm sure Run hit #1 in the official charts in Austria and #2 in Switzerland when first released.
Yup you're right.
It's really amazing how much Run connects when performed on TV shows. Who'd have thought when she did it for Live Lounge how big an impact her version would have.
X Factor Rebecca Ferguson: Don't call me Leona Lewis Mk II
Singing sensation Rebecca Ferguson has told how she does not want to be compared to former Pop Idol winner Leona Lewis.
The mum-of-two from Liverpool, who sang Why Don't You Do It Right last night, has taken the show by storm with a series of stunning performances.
She said: "I think Leona is amazing and it's great to be compared to her. But I want to be seen as something a bit different. I'm determined I am going to have a singing career."
Just a few short months ago Leona Lewis was heartbroken after her relationship with her childhood sweetheart Lou Al-Chamaa fell apart.
But now it looks like things with her new man are progressing at lightning speed. I can reveal Leona's dancer boyfriend of two months Dennis Jauch has ditched his job in Germany and is moving to Blighty to be closer to the Bleeding Love star.
Dennis, 22, left his job at the On-Stage school last week and has told his flatmates he will no longer need the room at his modest Hamburg apartment.
A friend of Dennis - nicknamed "Man Bitch" by friends because he's had so many lovers - tells me: "Dennis is head over heels in love with Leona and wants to be in London so he can be closer to her.
"He had a regular job in Hamburg but has packed it in so he can follow Leona to London. He is leaving all his friends behind too - but he doesn't care. He just wants to be with Leona.
"She is delighted because it's a sign of how much he thinks of her. They have become close very quickly and Leona's never been happier.
Suppose we can only cross fingers and hope for the best ? having an alleged track record of being a bit of a lover boy doesn`t inspire confidence and tends to leave one worrying somewhat about the future :rolleyes:
Don't really make much sense that story. Leona lives in LA so why would he move to London to be nearer to her? And why would they book a holiday to a place Leona already lives?
Almost certainly giving up his Hamburg On-Stage work as he's increasingly getting work via AMCK Dance (which is based in the UK) all around the world with the likes of Kylie et al.

Hans can't keep his dick in his trousers can he?
She really is setting herself up for a big fall.
Guys a loser.

Lets hope Leona Stay`s Happy
She is one Hell of a catch for anyone :cool:
You seem to have a problem when it comes to Leona & Dennis. Jealous?
Have you not been laid recently? Is Mrs B Refusing to Bash Your Bishop?
Is that why you feel the need to look down on someone elses relationship ?
Don't really make much sense that story. Leona lives in LA so why would he move to London to be nearer to her? And why would they book a holiday to a place Leona already lives?
