It's 3rd top favourited today Music Global

Just feels particularly nice after the vicissitudes of the past few weeks.”

That's great news

And yeah, it's nice to have some positive things happening!

Like a few of you, I still think Collide is capable of no.1, even though Siko messed up.
Also, I have been promoting Collide as much as possible and have been continuously commenting on the Collide video, like I'm sure a few of you are doing too. I am so happy with the direction this is going!”

Have actually seen you're posts on the video

good works babe

I don't think it is her fringe! I thinks it's a clip on!

We have not seen her outside of public events etc with the bangs.

Ahh I see, was trying to work out whether it was a clip on but couldn't really tell! I hope she keeps her hair like that for this era though, or at least part of this era.

585k views

1 million should be reachable by the end of tomorrow night then

The viewcount on the video is great, wasn't expecting that.

I wonder why it suddenly went global.

Anyways, I really happy for the change in mood for the thread, its really hard being a fan sometimes.

I agree, doing cartwheels on your own can be lonely

Great review. I love this bit:

“There’s not much deep thought going on here and really, why should there be? Sometimes, you need to head to the beach, forget all your troubles and not have a care in the world. Lewis’ video for ‘Collide’ captures that magical moment and feeling.”

Sums the video up perfectly.

“In the video for her single ‘Collide’ — which was at the center of a legal tussle over plagiarism claims — singer Leona Lewis isn’t attempting to make any sort of grand statement. Instead, she parks herself at the beach with pals — basking in the sun and pondering not much more than how beautiful the waves look as they break on the shore. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you gotta ditch the iPod, sign off of Twitter and enjoy nature without relying on any digital devices.

Lewis, in her blue polka dot bikini, is splashing around, sitting in a convertible and laughing throughout. With her heavy bangs and captivating stare, the camera pans in on plenty of shots of Lewis singing, since she is easy on the eyes.

When she sings the hook “Crash into me / At full speed,” the singer is surrounded by crashing waves to further illustrate that lyrical point, before she’s transported to a nighttime beach bash, frolicking in the sand with her posse. Romance appears to loom and hangs in the air. There’s not much deep thought going on here and really, why should there be? Sometimes, you need to head to the beach, forget all your troubles and not have a care in the world. Lewis’ video for ‘Collide’ captures that magical moment and feeling.”

Thanks, Austin. I took the liberty of copying that review because it sums the video and its effect up perfectly for me. If the song is a hit, this will be why imo.

Edit: See I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I think it's a weave so not all of it is real, but it does look really good. I don't blame her for not wanting to get it all wet.

It's still in the German charts? It's probably been an even more massive hit in Germany than it was here.

And its success will hopefully help Collide and Glass Heart.
