Saw her do a stripped down piano set in a small room at a private party a few weeks back. The event was so initmate I was stood within ten feet of her.
She was understandably nervous but in great voice and did a nice suitably emotive cover of Running Up That Hill.
Bless.

All that media hype and she still doesn't sell. What a bust.

I've never noticed before as I'm more of an arse man!

All Loena does is sing. She doesn't compose her own records or write her own lyrics etc. When you listen to a Little Boots record you know that what your hearing has come from her own imagination.

Leona might be a big star both sides of the pond and she might sell loads of records but if I'm being honest I think she's boring. It's people like Little Boots that give music more of an edge. There's more to music than just belting out ballad after boring ballad.

As far as I know Remedy and New In Town sold ok though, its just Earthquake that seemed to flop. Wonder will she release a second album?

it doesn't make an awful lot of difference to me (or the record-buying public either, evidently) whether the artist has written their own stuff - beyonce doesn't, britney doesn't, etc. and they're still huge artists. (btw, i learned from another thread leona has writing credits on almost all of the songs from her first album, so saying "all [she] does is sing" is a little wide of the mark.)

writing your own music doesn't automatically make you a better or more talented artist. i also think leona is boring, and her music isnt my thing at all, but i can't see anything particularly exciting about little boots either.

strange how things may have turned out though, given that little boots auditioned for the first series of pop idol/x factor (can't remember which one).

It was Pop Idol she auditioned for and I think she left in the third round of the auditions or something.

I like Little Boots but haven’t got her album yet but I do intend to get it. Earthquake went to a ridiculous position, sure it isn't the best song but it's one hell of allot better than some of what is in the charts. I suppose the lack of promotion could have something to do with it. Her album is currently Gold I believe, does anyone know how much she has to get before she goes Platinum?, which is really what matters in terms of success.

If she doesn't go Platinum then I don't think she should be dropped, her label should see why she didn't go Platinum and work to make sure her 2nd album does. Artist are dropped to easily now days.

I find her music horrific. New in Town has to be the most irritating song of the year, and remedy was the most over rated piece of meh-ness I've ever heard.

Cant see her having a second release next year.

Remedy was great! OK I played it too often but I LOVE that song. New In Town wasn't as good though.

thanks, i couldn't remember which one it was.

she said she was "kicked out" of the third round.
