According to some figures just posted on Buzzjack, Collide is the only track in the top 10 on iTunes which is increasing in popularity since 2pm yesterday and the Saturdays are plummiting like a stone.

I loved loved Spirit but I also loved loved Echo. I love what I have heard so far of GH esp GH. But I do have preferences that are personal: Leona doing a ballad is stll for me the best of Leona because I find her voice most moving singing in this way (hence faves include HEYA and Stay). But I want Leona to do a range of material - she is so adaptable, which I see as a strength, because her core is there whatever she does even if what she does varies.

I remember how Sharon O used to say 'Leonaify it'. I think of Leonaification as a very good good

I think Leona should do the genre she loves! Not genre which WE think suits her...
At the end of the day it's all about her and we are her fans because we love her voice and songs and her personality.

IMO she knows what she wants to create with her new album and that makes me really excited.

Love you Leona

As annoying as it may be, I think that the powers-that-be will wait until closer to Leona's performance on the US X factor before they properly 're-launch' her if that makes sense.

Collide hasn't even been sent to radio? fml, I guess it'll do well on the Dance chart and might hang around the very lower end of the Hot 100 for a while ( like what happened 'When love takes over') *fingers crossed*

Is Collide really as unmarketable in the states as some people on here are implying? I mean Rihanna's 'Only Girl in the World' was quite dance but maybe given her mega high profile she was more in a position to get away with it?

I wonder what single they will use to launch the album in the states? 'Trouble' is likely to be the second single here but with a production credit from a UK GRIME producer I'm not sure if it'll be US-friendly material

BTW word on the street is that there's an interview with Capital fm airing soon. Any news?

Tomorrow I think.
As for US radio, some radio stations are playing it but it wasn't added with some big pompous premiere and stuff.

Not sure if posted but if you don't live within the London area you can get ITV London on Sky channel #993.

Not expecting much from the interview but will be nice to see her back on the box once again (even if it's just regional) .

had a nice little preview of what's to come at the start...clip from collide and then said they would be talking to Leona about her new single and (i think) her plans for 2012....

another mention: will talk about 'new single and much much more'

ok these don't count as mega exciting updates

having only 10 tracks, whats the point?
what if some of the 10 are classed as "filler" songs surely the more songs the better unless they dont have enough decent songs to put on the album. strange?

Rihanna loud has 11 songs but the difference is R rated was only released a year before and there was lots of material from good girl gone bad too.
Leona is in a different position

came across well: decent, honest, young, maybe a bit nervous (looking up too much) and I thought like she misunderstood the last question (about 2012, she assumed it was a question about the olympics) but maybe I misunderstood it

Not pointless at all. At the moment, Leona simply needs to get her face on TV or voice on radio to promote the heck out of Collide, that's what Pixie and The Saturdays have been doing with their songs and look how well they're doing. 1-2 million people probably just saw that interview, and the vast majority of them probably just found out about Collide for the first time.

No, she talked about the riots, how she loves London and wouldn't leave 'cause her friends and family are here. Was asked about her image change and she said it was just a part of growing up and she likes experimenting even when she was young. Then the reporter asked whether she had any exclusive news for 2012 and she just spoke about how she loved performing at teh Olympics last year and she hopes to be involved this year... nothing new really!
