Ave Maria is utterly astonishing.

I know she has said that she had classical vocal training in the past, but my god, I had no idea that she had that in her. I can't think of one other contemporary female pop vocalist that could even attempt that. Incredible.

Ave Maria is something else, she needs to perform that on TV, I never expected it to be that good.

I'm glad it is just the snippets and not the actual album, I really don't want it to leak in full.

You should add "Snippets" to the end of the topic title, people might think the entire thing has leaked

I'm loving how this is sounding though based on the snippets!

A desperate cash-in. She's a capable singer, so it's a shame her career is completely over now.

Her vocals are astonishing, I knew she had some classical training. But not on that level.

Voice sounds astonishing on "Ave Maria". The other tracks sound really great too and her voice sounds perfect! This Christmas album is going to be very very good!

For some reason I can't warm to Leona. She seems cold and really rude. I hope this flops just like her last project. I can't seem to get over just how rude and diva like she came across during a European interview earlier this year.

Horrible stuff.

How bizarre. If there were 2 words to describe leona they certainly wouldn't be "rude" and "diva". Anyone who has come across her, including the press/media say how humble and shy she is.

I think she may have come across as 'cold and rude' in an interview because she's so shy and reserved, particularly on television interviews.
I've met her numerous times, and even when her security have told people there are to be no photos or anything like that, she's still hugging her fans, giving autographs and taking pictures. She's a lovely girl and I think it's a shame she's come across like that to you.

The snippet for this album are incredible though, and her singing Ave Maria has just floored me. Her voice sounds amazing!

You seriously can't be basing your opinion of someone over one interview?

She is probably the kindest pop star out there!

Ava Maria is honestly the best thing she has ever done.

Now I understand why her diction is often hard to understand. Her voice is more suited to classical. She has been wasting it. This is what she should have been releasing. Hope they see sense and have her record a full on classical album.

I can't even hear Leona's voice in Ave Maria and as a huge fan am very disappointed that her label have pushed her in the classical direction. This might be a good move for short term sales but will be hugely damaging to her pop career.

This album is a masterpiece. Been listening to the snippets all morning. Totally floored. Incredible.

Well I hate to controversial but her pop career isn't going anywhere thesedays. She has struggled to make an impact with her past two releases.

If she is really capable of vocals that are showcased in Ava Maria then classical would be a good career route now and one she is sure to have great success in.

Look at how well Joe did when he went serious. Classical is a more stable market.

"pushed her in a classical direction"? There is one classical song on the album, and Leona did it because she was originally classically trained as a singer and it's one of her favourites. The rest of the album is pretty upbeat and poppy with a motown vibe (with the exception of Your Hallelujah and O Holy Night, which are both sang 'normally' and not in a classical style).

Her label haven't pushed her into a classical direction. Ave Maria is one song on the album in this style. If you follow her career like I do, you'd know she's been talking about recording something in Opera since 2009. It's something she has a real passion about. It's certainly not label influenced.
