She was in talks for a new deal with DJ weeks ago

Such a shame.

I feel so sorry for Leona, another opportunity missed, and having to start again (to a degree) in the uk. But if it didn't work, it didn't work.

I feel really angry that it's just not clicking for Leona in terms of sales. Whatever the reason, whoever is to blame, I want Leona to be commercially successful, and it seems like such a struggle.

I really hope she finds her place and does whatever it takes to be successful in the uk again. I don't think she will have global sales before she does it in the uk. Perhaps moving back here once Cats is done isn't such a bad idea.

The positives are that she's building her profile in the US. Let's hope this translates into sales one day.

I think it's great that Leona is doing Cats and she has the potential to do well in the role, but some people in the last few pages are talking like it's a given that she's going to be nominated for a Tony Award. It's really not that easy and actually insulting to the people who spend years on Broadway and never even get close to being nominated. This will be Leona's first Broadway role and she's going to have to work hard on her craft.

Except no one is, people have been saying it would be great for her and her credibility if she did, no one said it will happen, just the hypothetical.

Except me... because she is the Queen, a Goddess, the creator of this world, our saviour, our holy Spirit, she is the meaning of life...

jk

but Andrew did tip her as possible winner next year though There's nothing wrong with hoping for the best for her, and that's what we're all doing.

Lmao.

I wonder if we will get the Home track on Friday, the Yulin festival is next week and I thought they would want it out to start creating awareness before hand as well. Either way it should come in the next week or so. I hope its good.

I mentioned the Tony Awards, but not to say she would win. She went as Andrew Lloyd Webber's guest, where she was probably making some rounds with important people though. So you never know.

I don't think it's a given at all, I just look forward to the possibility of it happening. With the backing of Andrew Lloyd Webber, the odds are in her favour - especially if she gives amazing performances of "Memory"

I hope your prediction is right hahaha

That's one of my options too.
Or maybe OOTK is countdown single with the pre-order of the album this Friday but not an official single, that's my 2nd option.

I am so glad I came back on here tonight and saw that there is news tomorrow, as I had made the decision to take a break for a couple days as the negativity on other forums was depressing me. Lol Now I won't be, can't wait to see what the news is.

Soe you're making me wet my pants with excitement!!!

Btw, it is a real shame that Island never worked out of Leona. I still think it is a great label but maybe Leona just wasn't compatible with it. I'm a bit annoyed about Darcus giving it all the big talk back when it was announced Leona has signed with him. "Global priority"....

Oo exciting! Currently struck down with tonsilitus and makes me realise how horrid it must be for Leona to sing when she has it. I can barely talk, let alone sing!!!!

Hoping "Only Ones To Know" is the second single from Pitbull. If not, then I hope it's news about "Home" or another amazing collab (Alesso collab? Part of Calvin Harris next album? )

I hate to say I told you so but we should be used to this label talk by now, I've seen Leona and "Global Priority" together so many times in the last 8 years it means shit.

I wish she'd go to Germany for 4 weeks and promote. Literally Switzerland, Germany and Austria were the only countries here for FUMF such a shame someone didn't throw some more money to send her there.

Praying the news is about the Pitbull song.

I can't say that i'm sad about the Island thing. If i'm honest i think the market in the U.K has had more than enough chances to enjoy Leona's amazing music and i'm hoping her next album she releases in the U.S first and promotes here and then branches out from there. The interest obviously exists.

Warm up: Pitbulls song is radio friendly dance song, which sounds more like a Leona ft Pitbull
