Haven't posted in awhile, been busy with finals and just been enjoying the tour videos! I hope everyone who has been going has been having an amazing time, I know I'd probably die if I finally got to see her live .
Just thought I post this song here, even though it's Kelly Rowland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmvnmxGRUs). The song is so emotional and so raw, and while I listening to it I thought that this is what Leona needs to go back to. I think Leona sounds best when she's singing R&B, and although they don't have to all be slow and emotional, I'd love for her to do more raw ballads to truly show her talent.

Omg I was just about to post this! I so agree! Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of the production (until the strings come in towards the end) I love how honest this song is. Like, I saw the title "Dirty Laundry" and I was expecting another sex jam from Kelly (although I do love her). I would really like Leona to write a honest track like this, perhaps talking about the behind the scenes struggles she's faced throughout the last few years. Whilst I doubt we'll get the R&B album alot of us are waiting for next, hopefully album 5 will see her go down this path, sonically speaking.

We both have great taste in music ;) I completely agree with you, I don't think the song will get a lot of radio play because of the slow and kind of solemn production, but the honesty and realness of it is what makes the song. I'd love to see Leona do a song like this, maybe talking about struggles with the label & management, relationship with Lou, the affects of the book signing incident, etc. I love the fact that Kelly addressed her envy and jealousy to Beyonce in this, because so many people always say that Kelly will never have what Beyonce does, and she tries too much to be like her. But the shocking part is the abusive relationship, something no one knew. It really makes you wonder what everyone else in the music industry goes through.
If you could have Leona duet with anyone in the world on the next album, who would it be?
I would love it if Leona would duet with Alicia Keys or Jazmine Sullivan. In terms of male vocalists, I definitely think she could make magic with Frank Ocean, while also picking up a bit of street cred if you will.
Just saw Leona in Liverpool. I don't know if it was me, or the audience, but I enjoyed it even more than Newcastle.:) ( Despite the loud whistling and tunelesss singing.of the people behind me.:rolleyes:)
I won't go through every song, but the opening section with Come Alive, Fireflies and A Moment Like This is so effective.
Must give a special mention to Happy too. One of her very best songs and so good live.
And the sequence from Trouble to the end is completely mesmerising. I still love Footprints in the Sand and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face so much, and she sang them so beautifully.
And the ending was absolutely storming. She added a few amazing notes to Bleeding Love. Glassheart is just so good live. It is euphoric. And Run, well... By the end she had the audience completely in her hands.
Yep: once you have started watching Leona videos on youtube there is no turning back. She'll be on LLAT next. Its a slippery slope Love slippery slopes
I`m actually quite gobsmacked :eek: my little buddy actualy after singing fireflies for ages in the car she declared she loves that song and locked out of heaven among many and looked sadly at me and asked in a quite voice Can`t we go to another Leona concert and OFFERED TO PAY :eek: as she is tighter than scrouges purse strings you can imagine my surprise !
WELL DONE LEONA !
I just looked back at the finale from the Labyrinth tour in Liverpool on You Tube. It was a bigger crowd, but what Leona achieved tonight was so much more spontaneous somehow. Those final 3 songs and the energy seemed to really generate the audience response. And she is just so comfortable on stage now.

guess thats the love going both ways she is so now after 7 years our own family and we love her ! so much its personal !Leona has become part of a very big loving family x simply can not get over how sweet she is in seven years the stupid press can`t find anything to get them going sad sods they need viagra :)except the g national incident ( oops oh dear she swore ) they are so sadly missing out on something so beautiful thier loss let them drool over half clad ladies standing on balconies yuck and half clad ladies spliff in mouth falling out of night clubs weaving thier legs but hey I will go with quality always LEONA !
Still enjoying memories of last night. Above all again, I can't forget how warm and relaxed she looked and how the audience rose to her at the end because of the response that she had created. It wasn't forced. It was just joyful.:)
Mixed. I do agree that she should have played the Philharmonic Hall rather than the arena. It would have made the show completely perfect. But she showed plenty of X Factor and brought warmth to a soul less venue.:)
Aw Ariella, nice to see you really enjoyed the show at Liverpool. A bit of a funny review from Liverpool Echo, but the Phil Hall probably would have been better, after experiencing smaller venue, I would be loathe to go to arena again.
There are 2 thread for the glassheart tour on the music forum, but I have bumped the most active one, the other one is just a bit of a bashing one and all the vids are posted in the other one.
I agree glassheart is epic live, what a shame this wasn't a single. Real missed opportunity. It still could be released whilst the tour is fresh in everyone's minds. I love reading all the tweets about the tour, especially the ones from people who are not particularly fans but have attended with other people, like saxman said, she is winning over the non fans.
Libbyliz, I understand how you feel, that is how I am as well.

Haha RESULT! take her up on it! I have to confess I have my eye on Plymouth damn though it is very far south :D:):)

Really good review, though I hope he never left after Bleeding Love thinking it was over, as he said she closed with that and made no mention of either Run or Glassheart.
I really hope her next tour will have a bigger budget, so she can have a better stage design and outfits, as that really is my only criticism for this tour.

Actually it was uploaded in January lol.
I think we all might need therapy! Life after tour
Whoever uploads Leona's full version of Blank Page will go into LLAT hall of fame
hahahahahaha
hahah I was laughing loads when she said "smashed it" - can't believe it was a week and a day ago now! :O
Crazy that the tour ends shortly! Wonder what news we'll get in the next few months, if any!
