so unprofessional from Mariah! and now her people are slamming Dick Clark Productions, what a mess.
I know for a fact that Leona would have handled something like this much better, even though she rarely mimes. Mariah clearly hadn't even warmed up her voice and had zero intentions of singing live. |

Artists mime from time to time, Leona has mimed a couple of times in the past. If the wrong track plays and you get caught out, that's the risk you take.
Clearly something more serious is wrong with her voice as the few notes she forced out were terrible. In that situation, surely she could have attempted to sing along unless her voice is completely gone. She didn't sound ill when speaking. Just poor form to start blaming the production team. Maybe the wrong track was played for Emotions, clearly she was expecting to mime, but no lead vocals played. Her reaction was just unprofessional IMO. I'm sure Leona would never behave that way. |

Hello everyone! I've put together an "album" of Leona's more acoustic and heartfelt tracks, which I've called "Eternal." It has some good flow and ends with a dramatic crescendo. It plays out like a story
I thought that the songs really had meaning in this context - if you listen the whole way through following the lyrics, it makes a lot of sense. The link for the YouTube playlist is here:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...0LJSibkLWCE44k Let me know what you think! TRACKLIST: 1. Ave Maria (4:02) 2. Learn To Love You (3:42) 3. Let Somebody Love You (3:48) 4. Yesterday (3:54) 5. Stay Tonight (3:57) 6. Heartbeat (3:51) 7. I Didn't Wanna Hurt You (4:05) 8. Perfection (3:19) 9. Stay (4:01) 10. How Everything You Are (3:24) 11. Your Hallelujah (4:18) 12. Stone Hearts and Hand Grenades (4:15) 13. I See You (3:47) [BONUS TRACK] 14. Now We Are Free (4:11) Total: 54:34 I also made a cover for the collection: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1LGJ-UXgAAPvwK.jpg:large |

Nice work but how did you leave '' Crying is beautiful '' out?
<3Crying Is Beautiful has some synergy with Perfect Stranger (and that in turn does with Scene of the Crime and Pulse), so I think all those will be in a different collection.

I layered Sardor Milano's live X Factor performance of "Now We Are Free" (theme from Gladiator) over the recent Leona Lewis cover, although I don't have any fancy program to do so, so the quality is a little lacking. Couldn't quite get it to harmonise properly.
I then decided to time it to a slideshow of Leona to fit all the mouth movements and give an idea of what a "live" performance might look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Vu_xkOer4 Let me know what you think!

Okay, last post now...got carried away with the mention of Crying Is Beautiful earlier...
So I've made another playlist based around Scene of the Crime, and it includes Leona's more feisty tracks...I've kept the title 'Scene of the Crime' for the whole collection, as it's the lead track with good imagery ![]() http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...-NH1nRWW-X-uJ3 TRACKLIST: 1. Scene of the Crime 2. Pulse 3. Perfect Stranger 4. Shake You Up 5. Outta My Head 6. Danger Made Me 7. Strangers (feat. Ryan Tedder) 8. Sugar 9. When It Hurts 10. Crying Is Beautiful 11. Come Alive 12. Glassheart [BONUS TRACK] 13. Catch Me When I Fall (DJ Poet ft. Leona Lewis) This is the cover I made for it: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1QG_IVXUAABZDY.jpg:large |

This edgy-underground sound of Leona suits her so well! If this was an album with Glassheart as the lead single it would be the coolest
![]() I did want to include Can't Fight It, but it's too much of a demo (almost ditched Danger Made Me because of that). Also Another Love Song and Favourite Scar fit this album musically, but lyrically they didn't quite fit. |

Haven't been on here since before Christmas so a belated merry xmas and Happy New Year buns!
Ooh new info in your hand Soe? Can't wait to find out the details! ![]() I'd love Leona to appear in some capacity on this year's The Voice. I know there are bigger names out there than her but in terms of coaching - she'd make a great mentor. |

In that way they would recognize the credibility of X factor |

Would love it if Leona performed "We Are Free" at Coachella.
Maybe Leona has done/will do Major Lazer collab?

As it's Twelfth Night today, I am playing CWL in full for perhaps the last time until next Christmas.
![]() Of course, any track could randomly play during the year on my PC.

Jake Gosling is once again one of the producers of Ed Sheeran's new album. Leona has been in the studio with him recently as you will probably remember
