    I thought that was Leona I was like... "Leona sis..." :o


    She barely used her falsetto... maybe her voice is still a bit fragile. Preserving it, I don't know. Glassheart was eh, the backing singers were a bit too loud. I honestly don't think she needs them. Shame she didn't perform any songs she hasn't before :(

    She used falsetto in Better in Time and Bleeding Love :o

    So normally she sings every song in falsetto from beginning to the end? No she used it like she usually does.

    Actually I think she could pull off one opera song on the tour, what do you think? it'd be a HUGE surprise for everybody. I can see the press already : "OPERONA destroyed Royal Hall last night!"

    hahaha I was impressed by them! Actually I think it was good because the song was building up with those adlibs. Leona should do it yes but she prefered "one more time" :rolleyes:

    Lmao, they are better than those singers she had on Lovebird Loose Women and Daybreak. They were dreadful and just drowned Leona out. But these girls need to quit with the ad-libs...it's Leona's name on the website. :p

    She did use it, she just didn't do the D6 she does sometimes in BIT, she's got a tour coming up so it wouldn't be wise for her to go crazy with the vocals at this stage because she will be under a lot of strain later on with the tour...

    It annoyed me that she said her favourite song from Echo was Broken, yet she's like never performed it. This better be on the tour. :sleep:

    Yeah, I don't get why people freak out because she didn't hit a note like she usually does :o The arrangement/version didn't even need it now.
    She didn't even belt the
    "And it's draining all of me
    Oh, they find it hard to believe
    I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see"

    because it didn't fit.

    I hope the tour isnt going to be like last night because honestly i will consider not going.

    I won't sit/stand there for 2 hours of acoustic and slowed down versions on songs. Ballads happen to be most of Leona's discog, which is fair enough, but if even the upbeat songs like GlassHeart and Come Alive are gonna be the acoustic versions quite honestly i'm not gonna enjoy that . You need some songs like that surely. Jeez!

    I don't think they would do that to us. I'm going along just to see what routines that dancing lady from The Labyrinth tour has done this time so that will ruin my plans completely.:p

    I'm hoping we get the same versions that we have on the album, with production. I want to hear Come Alive like she did it at G-A-Y. I want Colorblind just like her VEVO one.

    I thought you had to win VIP to meet her?
    The event will be open to the public on a first-come-first-served basis from 12.30pm so make sure you get down there early to see Leona!

    Anyway, whoever is going should ask her about new single or something

    There was a woman on the last tour who used to very enthusiastically 'perform' to each song. It was on youtube but unfortunately has been removed now I think. She went for it and just didn't care how she looked. :p
