" What do you call yourself if you're not a popstar?"

well I'm sure she entertains alot of people - in the same way that the people who entertain you, will not entertain other people.

She's fine the way she is, and more importantly, she is happy with who she is as a person and musician

I know what you are saying op, I cannot fault Leona as a singer, but entertainer, well that is subjective.

To me personally, an entertainer has a little more umphh than her, lots of top entertainers cannot sing as well as her but have so much more to give.

Sorry , I like the girl, but she, imo just dishes out nice but dull stuff.

Yeah deffo, im not a Leona hater, just find her extremely dull both to listen to and watch. I only really liked one of her songs, Bleeding Love.

Some people enjoy listening to people sing, and not hear them babbling on about themselves, falling out of clubs drunk and saying controversial things.

I couldn't care less what Leona is like in real life as long as she's a good person. I love her voice and her album, and that's all that matters to me. Listening to her music entertains me, so in that case, to me she is an entertainer.

She's an entertainer to *many* people. Unfortunately some people believe you have to be outgoing and bubbly (which Leona may well be in her private life) and be in the press all the time to be an entertainer.

She's not an entertainer in the same way as Beyonce, or Girls Aloud or whatever. More like Duffy or Adele, who's sparkle is purely in the vocal and not in the dancing or performance.

A clown is an entertainer, a juggler is an entertainer, a balloon-animal maker is an entertainer, a stilt walker is an entertainer, Leona Lewis is a singer.

Leona hasn't toured yet to really show herself as an entertainer. People like Michael Jackon and Madonna are examples of entertainers.

So explain why clowns, stilt walkers and anything circus related bore some to tears, and these people are more entertained by listening to someone sing?

"Entertainer" isn't a box that only certain people can be put into.

Disagree. What people are entertained by is subjective. Some are entertained by stunning vocals which Leona offers. A clown is not going to be entertaining to everyone.

I heard people constantly say throughout X-Factor last year that Jedward were "entertaining" but I never once felt entertained by them.

Technically she is an entertainer. People listen to music to be entertained. Let's not argue with semantics. Leona is boring to some, not to others. I like her and am so tired of this boring dull argument. Get something new to criticize her about. So her persona is not to your taste. Each to his own.
