Does it really matter? 2 Years ago the economic climate was very much different to what it is now has anyone cared to think of that?
P.S congrats to Leona on her sales and her reaching the top spot on the album chart.
Best wishes to her (I just heard ''Outta My Head'' quite good actually)”

You say it's "sad" but then continue to add fuel to the fire.

Me too! Which is why I wouldn't call it dancing. I'd call it posing and three variations of moving her hips from side to side.

Her "dance breakdown" consisted of three steps, which admittedly were in time (far more than I expected her capable of), and two arm movements.

The rest of the routine was just endless shifting her weight from one leg to the other at various speeds.

The only impressive thing about her "dancing" is that it's Leona, and she's able to move her hips (albeit awkwardly) ON THE BEAT.

When she was trying to dance it just showed her up for being awkward and very limited. I'd be hard pressed to think of anyone in the music industry who couldn't do that. The only ones I can think of are Amy Winehouse and Mariah Carey.

Having said that, kudos to her for not just standing still. Really. I never thought I'd see the day when she was at least trying to dance, and hopefully one day she'll succeed.

Im 16 and a JLS fan.. no way would I buy all 4 album covers.. I bought one..
Most of their fans knew what they were buying.. they arent that stupid

Tbh most didnt even buy all 4.. as they probably wouldnt have the money to do so
Their high album sales are mainly due to them having such a large fanbase.. see the Birmingham Christmas lights & loads of other events they have performed at..
Anyone can see they have a lot of support.. Why does everything have to come back to the album covers

Leona & JLS are both good at what they do.. They are completely different artists so why compare them

Again I must stress people that you shouldn't make sweeping comments unless you know the facts, otherwise I come along. I really do loathe ignorance.

Wasn't she a vocal producer or something like that for a track?

Vocal producer for all tracks apart from one, can't remember which one though, might have been My Hands or Outta My Head. Ethereal?

I assume she produces the vocals for all her tracks Who else are they going to come from?

I think it is just the vocal arrangements.

True everyone seams to forget that every act has a team behind them who help out as well. So they also should have some respect. Because without the help from the team our acts wouldnt have a studio, the press clicps etc to make a record to get to the top.

So for the teams behind all the acts well done as well.

I was simply trying to the pointlessness of the comparsions into perspective.

I'm not sure what I mean myself - I read on the LLAT about vocal production.
