Another quote about next year.

The tour is my main focus at the moment then I will be going back into the studio and collaborating with people.

Knowing Leona, "collaborating with people" most likely mean collaborating with writers and producers.

I hope she gets some actual artist collabs on her next album (and on other albums) though. I wouldn't mind a full commercial album to secure her some hits.

Obviously I'm excited. It's good to know she'll be working on a new project.

Haha probably But they did say 'I Am' was totally focused on Leona with no collabs, so maybe they really are thinking of doing some collabs

Either way, looks like it won't be one producer alone then

It only shows 40 stations, not all of them, and orders them in number of plays.

I hope we get some new material soon. It's sad I Am never really took off. Def Jam need to get their A&R team on board.

I think leona has a really good chance to become huge again. More so than the past few years. Look how crazy people are going for Adele. I know Adele has a much bigger fan base but people are really appreciating how strong her voice is rather than how good the song is. I think if leona gets the right song that shows how strong her voice is she could become mega popular again. I think right now she is still only seen as the X factor winner and bleeding love singer. Sort of a novelty act that only appears on the x factor every now and then. I think people's view on her could really change if she gets really good song. Sure look at Justin Bieber. He was hated a few months ago but now look at him. He released a good album and now everyone's on his dick.

The main thing to prevent the novelty act thing is to avoid X-Factor like the plague. What was the point of breaking from Simon's label if the only large promo slot she did this era was for an old song and a cover at that
She really has potential here in the US, and I think next album she should release here first and capitalize on any momentum. FUMF or Thunder both could have been hits here if one were sent to Pop radio.
Also I love "I Am". The only thing she needs for the next album is to work with a better producer or mixer. I'm not sure what's the issue but there is something about the album that doesn't sound as polished as other records.

I don't think we'll get new material until after the I Am Tour, though. In the mean time it wouldn't hurt if Def Jam could get her on one of their upcoming releases.

Still not released. I'm sure we'll here it sooner or later - perhaps a Christmas present for the fans?

And I think with Def Jam behind her, Leona could definitely be moderately successful in the US. Hoping she'll be able to get the right songs and have a 1 million+ selling single there, or multiple!

I'd say the cover will be released in January. Maybe to boost sales for the tour

Leona will never scrap "Better In Time" from the setlist, she has so much fun performing it. I would like her to stick to the original arrangement of the song for this tour though, been so long since I've heard her belt out the end.

LeonaDaily.net has tweeted about Louisa praising Leona and eyeing a possible duet on Louisa's debut album

https://twitter.com/leonadailynet/st...25746862505985

I'm not sure i want this to happen. If Louisa is good enough to be a winner, then she should be able to stand on her own talent and not use Leona's credibilty as a artist espcially after Simon's comments about Louisa

I don't see there being anything wrong with Leona being featured on her album? It's not as if that's going to be a selling point or anything. And it's not as if Leona stood on her own after winnning the show - she had a huge amount of money invested in producers/writers/promotion etc.

it's wong because Simon claims Louisa will be bigger than Leona, so a duet with Leona makes no sense. Why have an artist who you would be bigger than featured on your album

when i said stand on her own, I meant that it was just leona singing on Spirit witn no duets or collabs and look at how phernomenly sucessful that was

Simon constantly exaggerates though. And why not? It's Louisa's album after all and I'm sure she'd love to duet with her idol on it!

And yes that's true, but at the same time there's nothing wrong with duets/collabs especially if it helps you out. I mean I wouldn't mind Leona doing a duet with Louisa, especially if her album was a success - it would mean more people getting to hear Leona too.

Anyway I'm super excited for what's coming up next year with the tour and new album.

Fair play to Louisa though, she doesn't hide how much she idolises Leona..

“The dream is to emulate Leona. She was the person who encouraged me to go on the show. She inspired me. I met her during rehearsal on Saturday.

“It was so weird, speaking to the person who made me want to go on X Factor. She said she’d seen me perform and she liked my voice. I wanted to be like her so much, I looked up to her and now I am here”.
