This just has to be a hit on the Billboard. It's probally her best music to date.

Very different for her.

What do you think?

LOVE Fantasia! At least the Americans know how to produce decent talent on their reality shows. Take note Leona/Burke, that's what you call a "voice"!!! It's annointed and expressive, not empty hollowing!

yeah its a good song. i wonder why she never made a name for herself over here?
my fave song of hers is 'wen i see u'. i love it

I like it! I've always loved her voice.

I think Leona and Alex are better personally. I find her quite shouty in her live performances sometimes and don't really like the tone of her voice. I like her personality though.

Leona and Alexandra better ? Different most definitely ! I've yet to see either of them turn out a performance anywhere approaching this

Love 'tasia, but does anyone know when (or if) this will be released?

Leona/Alexandra are very good - lots of people can be good and it's ok! Nobody has to be 'the best', but having said that, that video was phenomenal.

Yeah I like that performance. Still, don't think she could do something like 'Run' like how Leona done it. However I still think Alex and Leona are better.

Not Run , but totally different to Lady Marmalade and yet again nailed , and remember she's in her teens here

Just an opinion so don't take it the wrong way but I really can't stand the way Leona sings Run. It is just so bland and boring and the only time it really picks up is right at the end.

"I'll sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go, you've been the only thing that's right in all I've done"

There is no colour or texture there at all.

Still she just doesn't do anything for me. I won't deny that she can sing but Leona's far better in my opinion.

I like how it starts low and has that haunting feel and how it leads to the build up.

If that's how it sounds to you then great but to me it sounds like she's "struggling to hit notes" most of the time as opposed to just singing.

On a more personal note, Leona does have the more pleasant tone but in terms of vocal stamina, robustness and technique where personal preference doesn't factor in, Leona doesn't even come close.

Thats an absolutely jaw dropping, beautiful, emotional performance, thanks for posting!

As for the new song, I like it, I dont think its Fantasia, in that I find Fantastic, a throw back to the greats, Ella, Etta, Tina etc, and this is a bit too commerical but hey i am sure it will sell, and you still hear the gorgeous tone she as.

As for the Fantasia comparison, with Leona and Alex..... Fantasia knocks both of those ladies out of the park.... Fantasia has soul, charisma, passion and oodles of talent. Alex (i will give alex she is a good performer) and utteraly and completely, Leona are soul-less! and are only good at churning out the SYCO manufactured bla pop.

Ditto!!

You're welcome ! Glad you liked the performance , if you liked that one perhaps you'll like this

Struggling to hit notes? Really? Also Fantasia's screaming can be of putting. Sounds painful.

Yeah Fantasia sounds raw and yes her voice is an acquired taste , personally I can't get enough of it. At least she doesn't send me to sleep like a few I could mention .
