Echo is amazing

Leona Lewis knocks JLS from the #1 album spot!
1 of 3
Yay! I bought the album, I really like it but I wish there were more uptempo tracks like "Outta My Head". I find one or two of the ballads a little dull.
Still waiting for an outstanding album from her.

"Some" = Massive understatement

There are three uptempo tracks (Outta My Head, Naked and Letter) but she will always be a predominantly midtempo/ballad singer as that what she's better at. It's an improvement on Spirit though which didn't really have any uptempos (Whatever It Takes and Best You Never Had arguably but they weren't that fast.)
Anyway, congrats to Leona on a second #1 album.

Oh shut up. JLS can sing, dance and they write their own music. We all know just how many of the three Leona can do. And even thats disputable.

Leona can sing exceptionally, dance moderately and write brilliantly. She has 8 writing credits on Echo (9 on the US version.)
JLS can sing adequately, dance above averagely and I haven't heard any of their songwriting but I hope it's not in the same vein as Beat Again and Everybody In Love.
All IMHO of course.
Leona can sing, She has written most of her albumn and you obviously haven't watched her perform outta my head - she can dance!!

Naked and Letter aren't really in the same league as Outta My Head, up-tempo wise. I totally agree she's better at the ballads etc but Outta My Head is brilliant, she really pulls it off and sounds so "current" and cool.
Totally agree that it is a big improvement on Spirit though, and she thoroughly deserves number 1 there are some cracking tracks on the album. My favourites are Outta My Head, Happy, I Got You, Broken and Stop Crying Your Heart Out.

Leona can do all three as well.
Whether you actually enjoy JLS's or Leona's singing/writing/dancing is totally subjective, but both acts have proven that they can do all three which is a fact.

They wrote/co-wrote a number of songs on their album.
That said, I disagree with both of you to an extent - both Leona and JLS are very good at what they do. It's a shame people have to put one act down in order to big another one up.

Yeah I was very surprised how good she sounds on OMH given it's so fast-paced. I hope she explores more similar songs in the future.
I`ve watched her perform enough times to know that her constant warbling hurts my ears. And if you call a few steps dancing I`d like to see what you would make of real dancing.

Me too. I loved Forgive Me, shame it didn't do as well as other songs of hers.
I personally prefer Leona but i would never knock JLS. They are good at what they do and this has been proven by the amount of albumns sold. Same to Leona.
I wish for success for both of them!

It may not be a full out dance routine but it is still dancing, and trust me, I probably know alot more about street dancing then most!
