Highly doubt that Cameron is going to approach Leona again for Avatar.
He wanted I see you to be a single, I supposed he got upset that it never became one.
Plus back in 2010, after Spirit and during Echo era, Leona was seen like a diva ( many were comparing her to Celine Dion ). She was fitting with a huge movie
Leona has been trying to shake this diva image off her though, she's been appearing more like a cool, next-door girl since Glassheart ( and especially with I am )
I'd really love it to happen but I dont think it will
Isn't that what she is though? I know lots of people want her to be a diva because of her voice, but do you honestly think she really felt comfortable in that role?

I think that the way she has presented herself during the I Am era is much closer to the actual person. On the whole her promo shots, her personal shots and most of her performances are all of a piece. She looks like a mature version of the girl who entered the X Factor, not a constructed image. And she seems to have some of that glow back too.

That doesn't mean she can't wow with her vocals, but she seems much happier in her own skin.

Nono, James Cameron isn't dead!

It'd be cool for Leona to do Avatar again, but I doubt it. Even if she did, I doubt the sequel will do as well as the first. Such a shame about I See You. I still get annoyed by their decision to not release it. The film made 2.7 billion for crying out loud!

Then who died? It was in a plane crash this year. I think Leona even tweeted a pic

James Horner, the guy who wrote the music.

And she even looks fat and she isn't. She seems to be in great shape in other pix.

BTW, as long as on the subject, among the other things wrong with the X-Factor performance (besides Ben Haenow), was the dress she wore. She looked almost dowdy and older. At other times, she looks chic and young. Don't understand it. Does she keep changing stylists?

Hopefully she can start looking happy and great at the same time.

Well, even though that outfit isn't that great... She'll be mingling with lots of big artists at Chris Brown's listening party I would guess? Maybe she'll do some more R&B stuff?

Also "One More Sleep" update:

#128 on Spotify with 37,648 plays.

#11 on Google Play. #109 and #147 on iTunes. ~#60-#65 combined.

#32 on the 7-day rolling UK TV airplay chart.

It's starting to get more airplay now and climb back up on iTunes. Should keep climbing back into the top 100 over the next few days.

Lol so random seeing Spirit songs audio added to youtube. Might as well just add the audio of every track from all her albums. Should get her some views and more subscribers to her Vevo channel.

You think kids are relevant to sales?

So? Play it 10 more times and they'll be annoying you with singing it through the whole year jeez.

Give them all Fs until they're able to sing it word for word and ask their parents to buy the song for them.

Atleast they're singing 9/10 including Ave Maria and the 2 originals. I think Leona did a good job with this album then!

No worries, I can understand you not wanting to annoy them.

I really hope we'll get the lead single to the next album after the tour. I feel that Leona's going to be finished recording for this next album before the tour, then she'll have a break to be with family after the tour then start launching the next album with the lead single in May/June.

Think it might take a while though, I assume she'll be rehearsing in January for the tour in February. She has 2 months to go before start of tour. I just hope it's next year already
