I don't see any reason why not, she didn't perform last year so it is possible. Hopefully her management can secure her a slot, that would be great promo and it probably is watched by the market she will be wanting to appeal to with this album.

Yus! I am 2nd
I just wanted to say I've fallen in love with her voice. Oh my. I was listening to the Hurt EP (I bought it way back when) and lord...

So good. I adore her Hurt RV performance. Incredible.

Leona tweeted some lyrics to Angel by Sarah McLachlan,

Quote:
“'Let me be empty, and weightless and maybe, I'll find some peace to tonight' Can never get over this song by Sarah McLachlan”

I love that song, and have wanted Leona to cover it one day for a live performance, I really hope she does some day.

Yay, new thread.

This was my mum's funeral song, I would dearly love for Leona to sing this, Leona does bittersweet so well, it would be so emotional.

Iseloid, nice to see you posting in here, I love that Hurt performance.

What a beautiful song.

I had not heard it before, but have just downloaded it. I am sure Leona would do it justice. I think Pink's voice is too strong and not delicate enough. The original is lovely.

Thanks. I do keep up with her career and financially support etc. Although I'm always broke when she tours

Hello am back!

Oh: wee scared reading back a few pages at the thought of no more postings from soulmusic and ariella. Hope you both stay on here! We need your positivity and also need some appreciations of Leona's voice in all its wonderful atmospheric subtleties to counter this rather odd obsession with high notes We all have our own Leona's I guess

Just a little mention:

http://tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv/the...rs-talent.html

In the run up to xfactor 10 more little mentions will follow yeh

lovely song,i though Leona's fellow contestant nikitta did this beautifully at the judges house stage, so would be a great song for Leona to do

Leona + one direction 'all I want for Christmas is you' cover
Idea?
- two most successful of X factor
- 10 year anniversary of X factor
- celebrative performance on X factor
- one direction = huge following, Christmas... Leona's vocals
- big big catchy Christmas hit
... Think it would do well, or an original song similar

i'm no 1D fan, they finished third and leona won the xfactor

we shouldn't have to rely on ID's following helping leona get a hit

Agreed! Bored of reading about getting 1D to promote her. Leona's market is largely the AC crowd, we don't need to appeal to 8 year olds. She doesn't need to chase trends, she needs to set them.

I've been listening to the VEVO version of Colorblind alot recently, it's become my favourite Leona ballad. I prefer stripped back songs like Fingerprint, Colorblind etc to the over-produced ones like Broken & Footprints in the Sand. The tour version of FITS is the best version however, you can see the Tracy Chapman influence there.

It sounded too much like a Disney ballad, I'm not a fan of the choir either, you can tell Simon Cowell was involved. The tour version is alot better, for me personally.
