Take a Bow looks fun - Nice to see her bopping around a bit.

Can't believe this only has one reply with all the Cheryl/Radio 1 Big Weekend threads all over the various DS forums

Leona absolutely smashed it, and I'm counting down the days until I see her on tour

She needs to rest her voice.

I know this will seems really over-analytical, but for the last few performances of Happy, she hasn't been hitting the G5 belt in the last chorus with "all the pain in front of me, I JUST trying to be". In the Bleeding Love performance, it may have just been an artistic choice, but she didnt belt the F5 in "wearing these scars for EV-eryone to see"

Having said all that, the entire concert was vocally miles ahead than most people in the charts right now!

Leona is always fantastic in my opinion. Voice of an angel.

She was incredible. Her stage prescence has dramtically improved and cant wait to see her friday in Sheffield.

Yes there does seem to be a general lack of interest given that's she's to embark on her first tour so soon.

I don't see this amazing stage presence her fans see. Yes she moved around instead of being routed to the spot but it still doesn't look antural and does she ever sing a full song. I'm not comparing her to CC who isn't a singer in my opinion but this girl has trained to sing since being a child has been at the Brits School yet excuses are still made she needs to rest during songs to save her voice.

I think it looks natural, and even though I'm a huge fan, I'd be honest if I thought it didn't. In terms of resting her voice, she takes looking after her voice very seriously and rightly so. I think this performance was very much a tune up for her tour performances. I also think she was getting used to working with her backing singers. She did let loose vocally at times too though, in Can't Breathe for example.

I'm confident she's gonna go all out during the tour, and then we'll truly understand why she feels resting her voice is so important

I only watched Take A Bow, but I definitely think it's an improvement - she looks like she's enjoying herself and starting to come into her own as an all-round performer

seems to Me for Some Leona Is damned if she does And Damned if she doesn`t some people seem to expect Leona to do a gymnastic display physicaly while performing songs at a clinicaly perfect studio produced level , I recon Leona did a great( SHOW )at Rocking Rio and certainly aimed toward a rocky feel moving very much away from the Stood at a Mike like a statue theme and Working the audience while delivering some great vocals ( LIVE) like the professional she is and those close ups wow ! It was FANTASTIC to see Leona so much Loving it ! as were the audience

I guess this concert was a kind of test run for her proper tour. Excellent anyway!

I thought she was fantastic. Really excited for the tour.
