Normally I wouldn't have been happy with her working with Calvin Harris but We Found Love is one of the best songs I've heard in years so I hope they have done something of the same calibre.

I was referring to Hurt as "boring" yesterday but I have totally changed my mind now.

You know, there are some songs which don't touch you emotionally in the first place but do so after the 10th listen.

I know the melody by heart now and Leona's version will kick ass. Can't wait for it!

NiN/Johnny Cash version of the song is raw, just like Run was. With Leona smooth vocals and rearranged vocal lines it could potentially be huge.

I totally agree. Leona will not only put her vocals on it but they will also make the instrumental more alive.

I ammm supperrr excited now.

Agreed, Hurt will have to be spruced up a bit for it to come across as, dare I say, 'not boring' when it is performed live. Really hope we get to hear snippets from these three tracks in the next couple of days, I need some joy in my life right now - too many essay deadlines.

By the way, does anyone know why "Songbird" was mentioned a few days ago?!

I guess the person was referring to the covers. I looked up the term on Youtube and it says that "Songbird" is a tool which helps you to play music.

By the way, does anybody know Regine Velasquez?
She is called "Songbird" by her fans.

I didn't understand Songbird thing too, I know she sang Better In Time and O Holy Night at that charity on Dec 3rd.

I'm sure he was referring to the album, it is very possible that they already have an idea of the lead single for Glassheart.

We will find out soon enough i guess

I think he was hinting towards her cover of Colorblind because the band name is Counting Crows, so Crows being the songbird part.

Where was this mentioned? If it is referring to a song it's probably Fleetwood Mac - Songbird (never actually heard this original version). I had only heard the Eva Cassidy version here. I would love to hear Leona sing this!

Aidan, Ryan and Amy are seriously the luckiest Leona fans, they get to attend virtually everything Leona related, especially Ryan. (need jealous smiley)

As far as the 'songbird' thing is concerned, the blogger said it was for the album, not the EP, and that it was an original song.

been reading alot of negative stuff on other forums... people seem to think because this is a covers EP leona has no control and is just a puppet...

i actually think she has more say than those people think... mainly because 'iris' is on the EP... i think leona chose the other 2 songs and as a compromise with syco, also recorded iris... just to give them some comfort that they have a song they know will be a hit with xfactor viewers, just in case the other songs dont shift the EP! good on her for doing a couple of less well known songs... i think she could turn them into real leona classics

Calvin Harris is an amazing producer so I'm really happy that she's worked with him He co-produced a song on Rihanna's Talk That Talk which is incredible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-0OuRVCAK8 so if it's anything of the same standard I'm very excited Imagine a song like that with Leona's vocals!

They are not lucky, just dedicated. As for Ryan, it is his job as well.

NME have tweeted about Leona covering Hurt. The angry tweets have started.

I know lol, I'm just saying that they are lucky to be in that position. I'll ignore the angry tweets regarding Hurt, if a non X Factor contestant covered it, no one would have given a shit, its just because its Leona, the 'thieving whore' from the music killing karaoke show - to quote Avicci fans.

Pfff, I really get upset when I read those tweets :'( I really can't help it, I just don't understand why people say those things. Leona didn't do anything wrong she just loves to make music

I'm not sure Leona fans in other parts of the world would agree with you. It's easy to be dedicated when you live in England.
