Is Leona still with Syco? If they have any sense they will prioritise Leona and push her for all they're worth, Emeli Sande style. It will be embarrassing for them if their first major star becomes a flop in this way.

Born to flop this way..
Her follow-up single failed to reach the top 200. Bye, Leona! |

This is a further warning to acts managed by 'short attention span' Simon - longevity is not your friend.

It's a stunning song that would sound nice on the radio. I love the "dum dum diddy" bit.

Leona was probably the most important person Cowell had on his label. Then Susan Boyle came along and ofcourse that has fizzled slightly, and now One Direction are here which is obviously where all SyCo's attention goes to. Give it 2 years something different will be here and they'll be slipping down the ranks at SyCo. I do think the fact papers and blogs are now writing that a Leona song has flopped should be a wake up call that people are surprised by this. They've clearly not give her hardly any attention. The funny thing is Cowell probably has very little say in what Leona has been doing, yet if she had been blowing up all over the world I guarantee he'd be taking the glory |

Leona has made the classic mistake of claiming she is an "artist" and has insisted on being involved in the writing of her own material, and at the end of the day her songs just are not good enough! theres a reason her first album and first songs were hits - cause they were written by the professionals
there is a reason why Rihanna has hit after hit after hit - because she leaves it to the professionals, whether it be ne-yo, stargate, calvin harris, timbaland etc etc Leona needs to swallow her pride and at least have her singles written by the likes max martin, stargate etc etc Rihanna probably has 100's of songs to choose from, from all the best songwriters in the world Leona only has a small handful to pick from (the ones she has a hand in writing) |

Let's be honest, Leona was EVERYWHERE with Spirit. She was on every show, even in the US. Now compare that to Echo. Which could have been much bigger. Happy didn't do too bad across the board. She had good promo etc. Then they released I Got You which was a bad idea. They didn't follow this up which was a HUGE mistake. They killed the era of and it had so much promise. Glassheart has been one complete mess. I'm not even talking musically, i'm talking the way it's been set up. Trouble was kinda messy, Lovebird was a disaster and if they had any sense, they'd set Leona up properly for a 3rd single in the New Year. SyCo's mistake is that they don't plan this stuff out well. It seems to just roll its own path |

Had no idea she had a song out, just heard it and it's actually really good, if it got radio play it could have done well imo. Leona needs to leave SyCo who only seem to care about the new, get a better label and she could relaunch her career.

![]() Yet them 5 bloody twerps were rolled back for the 3rd time singing a song not even announced as a single yet - I have no idea why SyCo wouldn't have had her onThere was virtually no airplay for the song. Things would need to change with single #3 or the era will be killed |

A lot of people have said this now. It's unusual how Leona's single was out the same day as the X Factor final yet she wasn't asked to perform?

They're not obligated to invite her on every time. |

Just because she won a few years ago doesn't give her the automatic right to one of the most sought after performance slots on UK TV all year.

I didn't say anything about her having an automatic right to perform. I just would have thought with her being an xfactor winner, being on Cowells label and having a single out the same day, that surely she'd have been performing. Perhaps the song wouldn't have been as much as a flop if Leona had performed, at least people would have been aware of it then
Ultimately it's the decision of the Executive Producers of the show who care about ratings and putting on the best show possible. I don't see any reason why they'd want Leona on. Let alone at the expense of one of the biggest acts in the world right now. |

leona seems to be heading the same way as all other xfactor winners. when cowell was a kid he discovered salt and vinegar crisps and raved about them day in day out until he discovered cheese and onion..... Every big act has been pushed aside when the next big thing comes along. Paul Potts was flavour of the month until SuBo. he star is now fading. and so it goes on.
an artist is only as good as the material |
