I suppose she'll sing those anyway. So it's a chance to make her realise we like other, unperformed songs.

Like Yesterday and My Hands. And HEYA.

Soe, no I See You? Or Christmas with Love? She could sing My Hallelujah.

20 isn't enough though.
Oh damn, isn't I See You on it? And Christmas With Love is bit weird in March Only YH could be picked

I picked 20 because she sang 19 songs on GH tour

I'm sure you're right about the number.

I just realised how hard it was to pick just 20. I would like more.

I notice BIT hasn't got many votes. I wonder if she'll notice.

Though to be fair, it is one of her biggest hits and probably a good crowd pleaser.

The thing I love the most about Leona I think is that all her albums are quite different to each other. I finally listened to some of 25 today and while the songs are good, they could all have been on 21. Echo was an evolution from Spirit and the songs were a bit more uptempo and different, Glassheart was quite experimental and she did things that she hadn't done before. I Am is very unique too in that she took a departure from writing/singing about love.
Edit: My point is, she doesn't just release safe music like Adele does.

#86 on spotify with 48,884 plays.

#122 & #146 on iTunes. ~#70 combined. #16 on Google play. #112, #137 & #265 on Amazon (risen quite a lot there recently!)

Up 1 spot to #30 on the TV airplay chart.

Airplay building nicely and heart have started playing it again. BBC Radio 1 played it earlier too. Fingers crossed it'll get a lot of airplay in the next few days and especially Christmas eve!

Wait wasn't it them that banned OMS from the playlist? Trying to make "Mr Right" a Christmas classic I see.

Can't wait for Leona's performance of "O Holy Night" on Christmas day! Hope it'll help give the xmas album a boost in streaming/sales for the day.

Leona is picking songs atm, she has asked the link for my website again. So if you wanna see My Hands, Alive, .. in the list then you better start voting again

Really pleased to see My Hands, Thick Skin, UnLove Me, Can't Breathe and The Essence of Me on that tour setlist.

I do not understand the love for Power at all.

She has better vocal moments on other tracks though imo, I just find Power very awkward, it nice enough but I think it's overrated on here.

I found it so hard to pick the songs I want to hear live for each album, only picking 3 from Spirit, Echo and Glassheart was hard. I really really wanna hear so many from Echo but narrowing it down to 3 was hard because I loved Outta My Head on the Labyrinth Tour and I'm dying to hear it live again but I desperately want Alive, My Hands, Happy, Broken, Naked, Can't Breathe, Lost Then Found...

But as much as I want lots of songs from her previous albums, at least 10 of the songs need to be from I Am with it being the I Am Tour, the only song I'm not bothered about hearing live from I Am is The Best and the Worst.

Just had a look at the setlist of GH and from the 17 songs, she sang 7 songs from GH, 7 from Spirit, 1 cover and 2 from Echo..

10 songs from I Am means she'll be singing the whole album which I doubt she will. I hope she sings more from Echo now.

I missed the Glassheart tour But we're in a different situation now with a new label so she might change it and actually do the whole of I Am?

Yeah I suppose, but I secretely hope she does the songs from the showcase including Thunder + 2 extra songs like Another Love Song (since she performed this already) and probably You Knew Me When. (I really hope she does this one). And then like 4 songs from each album with the obvious BL, BiT and Run..

I don't think she'll do Trouble and GH this time tbh.. I'm really curious for the setlist tbh.

Time to multi vote

It's great that she's having a look at what sort of songs the fans want. I'm hoping it'll be:

Total songs: 20
Spirit: 4
Echo: 4
Glassheart:4
I Am: 8

I think that would be a good balance and allow the fans to hear a lot of songs from the previous albums whilst focusing on most of the material on I Am. Preferably wouldn't want a cover - although "Hello" would be a great choice for some press/extra attention.

I just need some great uptempos on the setlist -Forgive Me/Outta My Head/Shake You Up/Glassheart/Another Love Song. Would be killer to have them all on the setlist!

Noooo I NEED Glassheart to be on this setlist!! I'm happy for her to do a lot of her back catalogue as long as she does FUMF, Thunder, Ladders, I Got You 2.0, ALS, Thick Skin and YKMW from I Am. I'd be happy with say 7 songs from I Am, 4 songs from Echo, 4 from Spirit, 3 from GH and 1 cover, I think that'd be a good balance. I really wanna hear My Hands live though, I didn't think much of it when I first heard it but it really grew to become one of the best songs she's ever recorded IMO.

Also, the lack of love for Take a Bow is disgraceful That was one of the best songs from the Labyrinth Tour.

Should I lower the I Am choices to 6? It will have a better effect on the results because with each vote atleast 8 songs get + 1 hence there are so many I Am songs in the list..
