It is miles better than Alex or Cheryl’s effort. I don’t see why people are hating it, it should go to number and outsell both of those previously mentioned.

From the sample I've just heard of amazon it seems to have a nice 'jump to it' beat. It's a BIT like Forgive Me.

By no-one if you mean some people then that's what you would expect - no-one likes every single. I prefer Alex's and Cheryl's sinlges to 'Happy', it is nowhere near as good as some of the other material on her album. I Got You should have been the lead single.

I love it. Far better than either Alex's or Cheryl's songs.

It is a little too drippy but I have to say that the video adds a little more oomph to it at least.

I like it. But then I think it all depends on your age. I'm 26 so 'Happy' just like 'Bleeding Love' sounds old school to me.

I think Leona in general appeals to people over the age of 20 whereas Alex and Cheryl probably appeal from teens to mid 20s max.

I liked that song, that and Bleeding Love were the only Leona songs I liked.

Strange thread title. A lot of people like it. She also has better on her album as well like 'I Got You' and a brilliant uptempo dance song called 'Outta My Head'.

This is a silly thread as it is incorrect. Most people I know really like the song. The video is also excellent. I also urge you, like Ethereal said, to check out "I got you" on the albm. It is probably the best song I have heard for the album yet and is incredibly good. It will be a huge hit.

I wasn't aware that lots of people didn't like it? I personally don't, I find it really boring, and I'm getting more and more annoyed with Ryan Tedder's inability to write songs that don't have the same beat as Halo and Already Gone. Those two songs I love, but Happy I don't.

I don't think that many people dislike it, it seems pretty popular from blogs/forums/Tweets I've seen.

The song's a decent 3/5 for me, but the video's a 5/5.

all her songs are so downbeat and depressing, and she always looks it too. the song title 'Happy' is hugely ironic, but i think the song's lyrics are about her not wanting to be so miserable all the time and just wanting to be happy. she doesn't seem to have found the trick to it yet!

it's soooo miserable! cheer up love! the only song i liked was bleeding love. it's like she takes herself so seriously, she needs to lighten up, she's only 19 or something isn't she? although I'm sure this is just the way she's being directed, she seems like a lovely girl.

I really liked it when I first heard it but it's one of those songs which bores you very quickly.

I'd love to see her do some more upbeat, r'n'b feel type songs. (And I'm no fan of R'n'B) because all the ballads get boring. She seems like a lovely girl though. Brought her album a few years ago, or whenever it was released...mostly ballads

I just think it's a bit dull, personally. And I prefer The Silence.

The vocals on it are great, though.

Most of Leona's fans seem to like it, but I doubt it's the sort of song that will bring her any new fans. "I Got You" is better, but it sounds like something you would hear in a movie trailer.

She's a great singer but I prefer Alex's voice and, shamefully, like Cheryl's single the best out of the 3.
