trying too hard? to do what?
I have noticed her new style. TBH I think it suits her. I LOVE her Brits & the Naked Heart Foundation dress!

I noticed recently she has suddenly gone all air head and can't stop talking. She was always the shy type before. That did hit me as odd watching her on the Brits aftershow. I thought she had taken some of the white powder.

The Brits Aftershow she nearly put me to sleep she was sooooo boring. She has about as much personality as a toilet brush and even thats questionable.

I like her style though, at least she's not trying to fit a mould.

I think she is trying hard, as her album hasn't done so very well and she wasn't really recognised at the Brits. There isn't enough personality in her album(s) and so I reckon she is actively trying to be more of a rounded individual, instead of as distant as she has been.

She's obviously been advised to switch up her image due to the poor sales of her new album.

I think she just looks like a prat.
Sorry.

A dead donkey has more personality than her.

& a living donkey has a better a voice.

Why the donkey reference? I can see an Eeyore ornament to my right hand side.
Could have been worse, there's a Welsh dragon to my left!

this is someone who we decided has the x factor... and now it turns out she has to try and fake it? makes you wonder if voters know what theyre looking for in an artist, or they just fall for the usual one-trick pony (or in leonas case, horse - teehee)

Not buying it - she's clearly been told to shock things up. Sorry Leona lovey you're very nice and have a lovely voice, but you don't have the "x-factor" even though you won it

The Leona backlash has been brewing for some time now. Yet another bland single and flame filled video aint enough to maintain her musical credibility.
Undoubtedly a talented singer, but symptomatic of the x factor production line of moulded stifled performers. A future doing cover versions awaits, unless she has the bottle to come out from behind the Cowell cloak and find, or may I be as bold and suggest create some material worthy of her voice.

I think she's been attending the Sarah Jessica Parker school of Fashion Victims..

She's obviously been told to "Glam" up her image to make up for the lack of personality and record sales this past year.

She needs to go away for away a wee bit and either break away for evil OverLord Cowell ala Will Young or persuade him to take more chances with her music.

People are already fed up with the dull personality free doll that's currently Leona and her music. She needs to completely revamp herself and her music if she wants to have a long term career.

Might help if she moved on from that Left hand on hip pose

Can't she do right hand on hip just for a change

God I'd hate to think what you would consider talent.

No she's not trying hard to do anything. Just because she's wearing difference style dresses doesn't means she's trying to be fake or shock people or whatever. Maybe she just felt like a change. She really can't win. People say her styles boring, she wears something different then gets labeled as fake

The ones trying to hard are the same people constantly making Leona threads slating her all the time :yawn:

Jedward are talentless yes, but they have the x factor. Leona may be able to sing, but she has the x factor of a table.

Thank you though for proving my point about fans not actually understanding what x factor means.

Well actually I think the X-Factor is subjective. To you it's obviously people who are 'a laugh' but to me it's someone who has a great voice, which I think Leona has. There's no need to label all Leona fans the same either. Oh and looking at her sales (which I know will annoy you) it looks like millions of people agree that she does have the X-Factor

Ok so what's your opinion of what the 'X-Factor' is? I'm sure everyone agrees with you....

lol I never thought I'd see the day where Jedward are compared to Leona Lewis

Come back when Jedward have sung at the Olympics or sung the theme to the highest grossing movie of all time.

Or even nominated for an award!

I've noticed an increase in weird little sound bites from her lately, which I'm assuming is to do with her PR people. I don't think she's necessarily trying too hard, just looks like her people are trying to take her in a new direction. I have to say, I really like what she wore to the BRITS.

I love what she wore to the Brits

looked so cool!! lol
I dunno why there are so many people so eager to be horrible to Leona just for being a genuine, nice person with an amazing voice.
She's a great role model to young people and would never say a bad word about anyone.
