Leona refuses to sing: Xtra Arabia
http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-29296078.html
Do professional singers only sing when they are 'prepared' - surely anyone could sing impromptu, even just a line ![]() Leona does look more confidant in interviews now though ![]() I never knew there was an X Factor Arabia

To be honest I think she should have just done it, but she had just sung two songs on the main show and singers shouldn't have to just sing every time they are asked just because that is what they do for a living.
Here her performances for those interested, Trouble - Leona playing Piano. Bleeding Love She also revealed she has a new album coming out at Christmas on the show. Also I agree about her interviews, she really is a lot more confortable now than being interviewed and her personality is really starting to shine through. |

The Queen does not need to sing for anyone she doesn't want to

I think she probably just got embarrassed. Just because she sings for a living doesn't mean she's going to be confident doing it on command like that.

Why should she have just done it? She was there to be interviewed, not to sing and after all she's a human being not some object that can be used whenever anyone sees fit.
The show should have been more professional and arranged anything like this in advance. |

I thought that presenter was unprofessional (to ask her) and rude (to keep on asking her). Leona is not a trained monkey.
Can you imagine if she'd agreed to an impromptu acapella and her voice had one tiny fault? It would be around the internet in moments. |

It's a good job Leona wasn't interviewed by the likes of Miss Jones when she was promoting her early stuff in America. Anyone remember when she asked Danity Kane to freestyle on the spot

Miss Jones is just team too much. She cracked me up but my goodness she was rude! Her interviews with Usher and Christina Milian as well as her run in with Beyoncé's mother were car crashes but hilarious.

Leona actually handled it very well. Singers who really take their craft seriously do not like singing on the spot without warming up..just look at Whitney's reaction in this foreign interview at "3:10"...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLn9_1Nq418
Priceless!

She is out of it there.
![]() ![]() I've been a hardcore Whitney fan for years so I'm kind of used to seeing some interviews where she's a little "Not quite there". Its sad but I did find that one part pretty funny. |

You would have thought that any opportunity to sing would be welcomed given that her career is in freefall.

Priceless! ![]() ![]() I remember, right at the beginning of her career when she was saying yes to everybody, Kate Bush was asked by a TV interviewer to demonstrate how high she could sing. She really didn't want to but she made a half-hearted attempt and it was dreadful. |

She already performed twice on the main show. Did you even bother reading the article?
