Time to get my ears cleaned out, think I'm becoming tone death now :x

Just checked through it and ye you're right.

So it goes:

E5-F#5-G#5-B5-G#5-C#6-C#6 (brief D6)

But the second bit when she goes "oh-oh" at the end flicks up to a D6 briefly.

exactly! love this performance ..

Just remembered and watched this Red or Black performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJHTHEwVIFw

Leona looked and sounded like a superstar. Stunning!

I Am Deluxe #1388

I think that's why 2011 Leona was vocally so good - confidence. She was super confident in herself on stage performing and that helped her to deliver so many great vocals and performances throughout the year.

I hope with Leona's new label and the tour, she'll be able to get back that confidence. Not that I don't think she's confident, but it definitely seems as though she's had a knock or two with changing labels business and such.

yeah everything kinda went down since the label messed up collide which is, after so long a great tune!
she sounded and looked amazing!
maybe the pressure affects her more than she actually admits?
i wish her all the best for the next record and may DEF JAM handle the next era as good as they can cause she deserves all the success...and a grammy

Def Jam's got that extra $$$$ from Bieber this era. Time to use it wisely on Leona We can thank Bieber for his contributions.

Ahh, I love this performance so much!

I think she was so confident mainly cause she was so skinny, so she propably had no insecurities. This and the tour I guess caused her voice could really shine with no borders.

Hoping OMS can be somehow used on X Factor tonight, slowly climbing over the last hour, up to #114 now

Simon just said that that Louisa girl is the best thing he has ever heard on X Factor... how quickly he forgets.

strewth after Mr Cowells comment tonight I think he should have a memory check
I very much doubt Louisa`s performance tonight will give him goosebumps two years down the line as he claimed summertime did

I literally can't at Simon's comment, like Louisa is amazing but she has NOTHING on Leona's vocals

The judges words have no worth now, they've overdone the hyperbole and praise every series to make it seem like they found someone like Leona. It just amounts to nothing.

Boycot XF and vote R&B

no doubt Louisa hits some good notes in Man's World but it's so shouty too.
Simon did not need to say that. Summertime is so much better than that

Someone needs to hijack the screens and play Leona singing Summertime to the arena like ASAP, I'm so annoyed right now. First they make Rita go back on what she said last night and now Simon says Louisa just sang the best performance EVER on XF. I thought Simon was supposed to be on good terms with Leona??

somewhere over the rainbow was pretty good too ;-
what with Ben and that comment ?> emmm sabotage conspiracy

As was "I Will Always Love You" or "All By Myself" etc.

Leona's voice on the show was much better than Louisa's and much more versatile. With more emotion.

Oh well, R&B to win!

And Bridge Over Troubled Water and ...

It depends what you define as good singing, I suppose.

I will give credit to Louisa that she's better at upper belts than Leona and sustaining them - she's showed some really nice moments with them.

But overall vocally, Leona has more emotion, a better/more unique tone, more "light and shade", a stronger lower register, a stronger head voice/falsetto, better vibrato, better mid belts and I could go on.

Louisa shows great promise though, she's still very young so has plenty of time to explore her voice more and to experience things to pour into her music (heart break etc).

I think Simon is just terrified that R&B are going to win, he is continually saying he thinks they can win in my opinion to try and get more votes for Louisa, and saying she is the best will drum up more votes for her.

Though he is a knob and I hope Reggie and Bollie win.

What is this mess..... and to say Ben was bad yesterday, this is absolutely horrible

They aren't great singers but I think this may be the biggest example of producer sabotage ever on the show, they were a huge threat to Louisa and they gave a song that doesn't suit them in order to get the result they want, it's actually sad imo.

Its not louisa`s fault all this mess but I will laugh my head off if Reggie and Bollie win

Queen of strained notes, but she can get away with it
