Next year someone should create a Facebook campaign for One More Sleep to go to Number One. Since Leona has left Syco, someone should make it an anti-XF campaign in order to get all of the XF detractors to support the song.

I normally lurk on this thread but just wanted to say Louisa has no chance of doing better than Leona. Leona emotionally connected better to her songs during X factor and had a much more pleasant sounding voice than Louisa's full on unnecessary loud vocal.

I think Leona shouldn't have issue with getting her voice in tip top form as it doesn't appear she has nodules or anything that requires surgery. I think the key thing for Leona is confidence, vocal rest and improving vocal techniqu. Her technique has changed somewhat which is one reason why she isn't as resonant anymore - she doesn't open her mouth as wide anymore and puts tension in her lower jaw. She also sometimes resonates in the nasal cavitiy rather than the mask, which reduces resonance - essentially "lazy" singing to a certain extent, but it could be that Leona's getting back into the swing of things now after being knocked back a bit in 2012/2013. The tour should help her improve any "laziness" in regards to her technique. The main things Leona needs to do is: - Resonate in the mask and don't place any tension in her lower jaw - Increase her confidence in her voice - which appears to be happening with her over the top ending of "Thunder" she's done and just general messing around with her voice. - Keep her larynx in a neutral position - she still pulls it up sometimes when belting higher, although she doesn't do it as much anymore and pushes it down sometimes when hitting low notes. I think overall Leona's voice is in a good place to be strengthened and improved upon in the coming months - Leona just has to make sure she does all she can to do that! And it certainly looks like she's trying. ![]() I mean I know some people might badge me for always critiquing her but I do it out of love. :3 Her deliciously sounding tone is why I love her so much. She's pretty much fine around D5, though belts above gets really thin which is strange for a Soprano. One good thing she's been doing is her ease in the lower register! But I think rest is super super important for her especially a for a sorprano voice like hers. Again I'm almost positive she doesn't have nodes. Just needs some rest! |

So goodbye I Am!I'm fan of other artists and I Am era is the worst one I've ever lived. Nothing interesting, boring... I'm so dissapointed. You know I love her with no end, but that's the truth. We have lived the era in a constant "This is just the beggining". The beggining? Have we stucked in the beggining AKA the end? I can see no difference. |

You cant sabotage someone by offering a slot on a popular show
![]() Even if the decision for the duet wasn't right because Ben and Leona was never meant to happen, Leona could just smash her parts but she wasn't at her best either. She looked super nervous, I wish she had a slot for a solo performance so she could redeem herself. There's no way her weight effected her voice, it's not that she gained tones lmao. She just goes for slim --> curvy and backwards. I am pretty sure it was the illness and the fact that she strained her voice during the first two eras ( maybe the nose job played a part too because her vocals sound nasal lately ) I dont know how to feel about the tour at this moment, I want her to come out at these stages and slay everyone but a part of me worries that it may harm her voice more? I listened to How Everything You Are last night and then her cover of Only One and the change in her voice is more than just age. She had a light breathy elasticity at the time and now it's a lot darker toned. It depends on what you like really. I think there's a huge difference in the style as well. I think everyone would have loved her to follow on with the r'n'b sound because that's what made her unqiue from the rest of the charts but it's her music so I have no complaints no matter what she does. I just don't understand how you get a massive vocal peak in 2011 and then straight down in 2012. I think her rumoured nosejob was 2010 or something. I'm not sure what happened because she wasn't on tour before Glassheart and when she performed Trouble on The X Factor it was really quite underwhelming. Either way, I'm gonna support Leona. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to struggle with your voice when that's your livelihood. |

This is true. I'm not sure if she's had a nose job because I've never paid any attention to her nose, even when I look I can't really tell. Her voice is definitely substantially different.

Also, worth mentioning she was ill at the end of 2012/2013 and now she hasn't been ill this time around. Think it's safe to say the stress at Syco caused a lot |

Mariah has a UK tour in March next year, her first UK tour in 13 years. I wonder if that will impact sales for Leona.

Really?
Have we really started a new thread debating again leonas voice? yes its up and down but she IS busy and does need to rest more..but really?
Can we not focus on all the new things to come? My family know how crazy I am about Leona but now when I mention it they say things like "Shes a worldwide star now" "I hear her songs all the time" "yes heard she left simon " "They always wont the latest winner to do better" "amazing voice" No one has said what we fans are saying "no one buys her records" "her voice has got worse" The general public have not been on the journey we have been with leona, all she needs is good promo and a hit..and shes back.. However ill Leona has ever been she has always pulled it off and most of the time the general public would not have noticed shes ill like we know.. her voice is getting its strength back after her emotional journey with Syco..fact we know. Im still excited that TS is including her on her dvd What exposure coming!!! ![]() ![]()

Oh no please don't. She should collaborate with someone better. I think a Leona and Drake track will be amazing.
As for Simon and his ridiculous comments, he'd piss on his dead mother if he thought it would get him a few million. |

LOL at the whole "Louisa will be bigger than Leona" malarky. Do the media forget how popular Spirit was? It's the 5th biggest selling British Album in the UK. Behind, I think, 2 Adele albums, the Beatles and Amy Whinehouse.
