I agree. Also the X-factor is becoming a serious joke, I no shes a winner of the show but she needs to distance herself as much as possible

She's certainly got the attention of the Hollywood set.

I'd love her to do an uptempo tour number but I think we might see her perform I See You at Christmas time on the final, with probably Alex and a couple of others as well.

It would link the tour where she did it to the film (massive success) and they might even drop in the new album coming live DVD/CD etc.

I See You? I think I'd cry if that happened, lol.

There would be absolutely no point to singing ISY. I will seriously screw if she sings that. I want utempo with dancing but i would be happy with CB.

“Jessica's dream day with the stars

Leona Lewis gave a Barley girl with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma the day of her dreams.

Twelve-year-old Jessica Allan had just started at Newport Free Grammar School when she was diagnosed with cancer of the lymphatic system last year.

Determined Jessica decided to fit her chemotherapy treatment at Addenbrooke’s Hospital around her normal school routine. But her confidence deteriorated when she lost her waist-length blonde hair and gained weight due to steroid treatment.

Mum Samantha said: “Her self-image took a battering, but she was outstanding, stoical. I couldn’t be more proud of anybody.”

One year on, Jessica is in remission and the Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity has helped to completely restore her confidence.

The charity arranged for Jessica to meet X-Factor winner Leona Lewis at Topshop in Oxford Street for a girlie makeover.

Samantha said: “It was such an incredible day for Jess it was like going shopping with the coolest, trendiest auntie.

"She feels very special.

“Leona was amazing and talked to Jess about the dresses she liked in the videos and the songs Jess liked best.”

Jessica, her 10-year-old sister Jasmine and her mum and dad had an extra surprise when her limousine stopped off at the Millennium Hotel in Mayfair where Rays of Sunshine was hosting a JLS wish morning on the same day.

She said: “This day gave us the feeling of a fresh start.

“The big thing for me is to thank Rays of Sunshine, Leona and Topshop and everybody who made the day so special.””

Well it wouldnt suprise me.

I could imagine her performing on the X-factor.

" We thought we'd give the fans a treat & perform a medley of 3 songs I didint perform on tour. Im You, Alive & Angel "

Don't group the amazing Alive with those two.

Here I Am would be on the same level.

I don't think she'd sing Can't Breathe or any other random Echo track. It would have to either be a known track tour style or ISY. There would be not point in doing Happy or IGY and ISY is the only other song she's had that people would know as it's from the film.

I'd die!

Glad that she likes "Hurts".

They are my favourite group right now.

Someone on twitter said that Simon tried to get "Illuminated" for Leona but Theo said no.

Not sure where they got that info from.

and the X factor appearance is confirmed.

Quote:
“The XFactor Press Conference has just wrapped up in London and despite being banned from asking the Final 12 contestants about Gamu, journalists insisted on raising the subject.Mary Byrne failed to turn up due to a sore throat but some say it is far more serious and she could have flu which will jeopardise her chances of performing at the weekend. All of the acts admitted that Matt Cardle will be their main competition on the show. The Boys will sing 3 of Simon Cowell’s favourite songs EVER – we hear that “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen is certainly one of Simon’s favourites so could well be that song. Pixie Lott, Neyo and Leona Lewis have also been confirmed to perform on the show.One Direction say it was quite difficult getting to know each other considering they were only just bundled together as a group. They’re determined to be the first group to win the XFactor.”

^ Oh man Leona would have killed that song if true. Illuminated is amazing, the chorus is absolutely massive. She should so do a dark synth track for the new album.

#icantbreathe is trending on twitter. Bit late for the single push now, doh!

People don't really know I See You though. No logic in that whatsoever.

Far more likely to be something to showcase the "new" Tour-friendly Leona i.e. Outta My Head.

To be honest I doubt Simon has even heard of Hurts. On the X Factor performance, it's strange that only one site has mentioned it online. Maybe press conference stuff is embargoed until later when we get proper conmfirmation?

How would they know OMH? Avatar is the biggest film of all time, I have a feeling a few people might know it.

If she does a tour song it's most likely to be a Spirit track, FM or TAB.
