What do you think of the latest song from international superstar Leona Lewis???

Thoughts?
I think it's a really fresh song and it is lovely to listen to and once again, Leona has made another beautiful classic song

Chart predictions?
I'm saying this is a definite number 1 for Leona in The UK. It will also do well in The USA and around the world. It it is an instant hit

Number one in the UK without a doubt.
The US is impossible to predict.

Very good. Not as good as Bleeding Love, but still a welcome return to form for her.

Predictions:

U.K.: #1
U.S.: Top 5

I think it's really bland and umimaginative. It does nothing for me what so ever.

As for a chart prediction? Well I think it will probably go in quite high, number one maybe. Simply because her fans will lap it up because to them everything she does is the best thing ever. But I'm not a fan, that's not the reason I don't like the song though. I don't like it simply because I find it dull and I really don't think its anything special.

I'm still waiting for her to come with a song that makes me go "Wow I love that!". I can't see it happening anytime soon though.

i know i go on and on about it, but soon we will hear that she has been given yet another x factor live performance of the new single - for obvious reasons.

Syco seem to be cleverly releasing her new albums and re-releases around the end of each year - that's 3 in a row now - for the same reason. i would put money on her re-releasing her new album at the same time next year with a new single cleverly-timed to coincide with the x factor live shows.

she's been back each of the 2 years since she won the show, can't see her stopping there!

why stop showing off the shows success story?
other acts dont turn the opportunity to perform on X Factor so why should Leona not? Take That have been on a couple of times. Plus a performance on XF does not guarantee a number one. Ask Leon. Remember him?

She sang her ass off on this song, but the song just washes over me.

I love this song. It's already not far of from being my most played song on iTunes lol. I think (and hope) that it will be No.1 in the UK. Hopefully top 10 or 5 in the US. Would love it to be No.1 there though and do well around the world.

I hate the self-absorbed lyrics Reminds me of her other song, Better in Time, when she sings "I'm gonna smile coz I deserve to" Just makes me cringe too much. As I said in another thread, Leona is a leagues above releasing such bland trash as this song.

Uk Number #1 and Ireland number #1

US top #3 maybe #1 depending on airplay

I think she'll hit#1 in Canada they LOVE her there

Reaction so far has been great so lets see

I think it's such a beautiful song. I really can't wait for the video and album!

As for chart position, anything is possible.

It will chart high but i don't think it'll stick around for long as it's just another 'Ryan Tedder by numbers' song and i think people are getting bored of his style now.

When is the video being released? I only ever make up my mind about songs once i've seen the imagery to go along with them.

Why? I always find the video distracts me from "getting" the song

I love the song, very beautiful with moving lyrics and stunning vocals, and I think it will do well.

I hate it but It will go to number 1 because its Leona.
Quite a turn around. A couple of years ago some people would say "She's only getting #1s because the songs are good". But now they're excuse for her continued success, beyond how they predicted/wanted her to achieve, is because, well, because of her, and not just because of the material.
