I have loved Leona ever since her first audition on x factor, she is beautiful and down to earth and is a great role model for young women whose only aspiration is to get their baps out and be "glamour" models.
So I also hear from someone in the know :eek::)
Got the public well and truly duped though. Good luck to her and the new single which while I admit is catchy is a little difficult to understand.
Upthemacduff, got to agree, she's not beautiful but there is something about the face that makes you look.
A friend called her look aggressive attractiveness a bit mannish but genteel.

I'm so glad she has stuck to her principles!
Great woman. i love her
Off topic but what exactly is wrong with girls wanting to become glamour models?
A Harrods spokesman refused to reveal how much she was offered as this was "confidential", but he added: "It was at least a tenth of what has been reported."
I was going to say... 1mil pounds is a bit much, just to open up a store. £100,000 seems a bit more plausible.
My dislike of Leona is well known on other threads. But seemingly she also sent a few very expensive leather bags back to their designer houses when they were sent as gifts as she doesn't use leather.
I have to say in this day and age her stance is not only refeshing but encouraging.
No, not at all. I find her insipid and her singing is bland and her songs boring but I take my hat off to her for this. She's taken more of a stand than many others and has stuck to her guns. It shows strength of character and is to be admired. It also shows she's not a hypocrite.
She's like the male Paul Scholes(He's a footballer) only wants to do his job without getting noticed or being in the spotlight! Good on the sexy babe sticking to what she believes in!
Lewis is contracted to Simon Cowell's Syco, which in turn is a component of Sony Music Entertainment. What this means is that her team are focused on her earning potential for their company. That's what they're paid for, obviously.
Media 'leaks' such as this one are an hourly occurrence. Not just in music, but all forms of news. The media itself is privy to the validity of most inside information, but also benefits from running the stories regardless; it's their lifeblood. Likewise, many celebrities need a gateway to publicity for survival.
Leona Lewis could *not* self-manage. Realise the consequences of this for a moment. The individual cannot jeopardise the masters for personal profit. Good or bad print is vital to agents.
Right now, tabloids would kill for juicy PR about Lewis, but her team aren't biting because they can make more money from a clean image; hence this manoeuvre.

Weren't you first claiming that the money was never offered?
Does that mean Lilly Allen got nearly £1m for her opening last year??
If so that's crazy she's hardly a massie star....
True, but a much bigger star than Leona Lewis whose potential songs are being given to Leon Jackson as he's more marketable.
She didn't turn it down. She wouldn't even have had the chance. Her management turned it down for her.

Can you actually name an "original" singer successful these days? I thought not.

I just don't see how getting your breasts out and exploiting yourself for money is emancipating.
and yes, this is off topic. why dont you start a new thread or something.
True..... and she gives us sooooo much ammunition!!
Good on Leona btw
I hope you have proof of that statement.
There is not proof that the money was offered either.
Not a fan eh?

And yet still evidently very popular.
Good for Leona, she's a genuinely nice person and great role model.
It is refreshing to see someone who has morals and standards and doesn't just ditch them for 30 pieces of silver!

Anyhoo, good on Leona for sticking to her guns.
by her integrity and principles.
she seems a genuinely nice person and modest too.
But, although musically I am still not interested, as a person she has been elevated highly, in my eyes.
I apologise for my peronal criticism of her and think this is a brilliant stance she has taken.
Whether it was a million or a few thousand, it's still money she refused on principle, and I take my hat off to her.
I have to say in this day and age her stance is not only refeshing but encouraging.

Dunno if I'd be able to turn down £1 million .... so well done Leona
Of course I meant 'personal' and not 'peronal' in my above post!
She means like a nice person and I like that!
