That's a valid critique, the song could have been more geared towards X Factor viewers. There is a difference between criticism and critique.

I think one think that Lauren has brought up for me is how unique that voice of Leona's is. It's not about who is the most technically perfect singer or loudest etc. It's that certain quality. I don't think anyone else manages the subtle dynamics of Leona's voice, both in tone, intensity and volume. I think there needs to be something said for how she crescendos in songs. She can really carry the structure of a song with her voice. I think maybe that's what's missing from her songs now is that they don't build in volume. I'm not 100% but she's bloody good.

Can someone explain this to me please.. Why are spirit audios going on Leonas youtube channel constantly? Shes not with Syco anymore but there is also links to itunes where you can buy the spirit album and song.. it just seems odd to me as surely her new management would have rights to her accounts now so why would they promote something they are not getting money from?

On another note i just played Bleeding Love on my speakers and i know why it was so big now.. The song fits her voice so perfectly.. more perfectly then any other song shes ever sung.. the slow beat.. the big wait till the massive NOTES.. i think she should have just been like adele.. and just stayed to what she does best!

She needs a song like this again.. a nice tune with a mix of different vocals leading up to a massive belt

Leona is probably one of the most humble person in the music industry Just shows how much respect can be recognised even if things don't go well.

At least FUMF will be used for next year as well as one song to be used in more than one film Looks like I Am campaign is not over yet as many thought it would

Nice! Hope it's some decentely big ones to give it a boost

That looks intersting, most probably be used on the adverts/trailers in January/February to get people to buy tickets for the tour? I can see "Power" being used for a movie trailer or "Essence of Me" or "Ladders"

It was never over as we still have a tour to look forward to which'll is a part of the campaign. But after the tour I'm pretty sure Leona will have a break and then move onto the next album.

Hoping they release "Another Love Song" as a single with heavy use in a big advert or something in January though.

"One More Sleep" update:

#85 Spotify with 48,973 plays.

#108 & #165 on iTunes, ~#65 combined. #13 on Google play.

#31 on the TV airplay chart.

Suprised at how little Heart have played the song compared to last year though - if they played it the same amount this year it'd likely be a lot higher on iTunes! BBC Radio 2 & BBC Radio 1 have spun this again today though!

Not looking good for Louisa to have the Christmas Number 1 next week as she is #9 this week and falling on iTunes. JB is still at #1 and #2 - how did he get popular again?

The #1 on iTunes is currently the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir...

Where is OMS when you need it?

OMS didn't make the top 100 again this week, it must've been SO CLOSE!

It should enter this week and chart top 75, beating its peak of #80 last year.

Heart aren't playing it much at all this year though apart from the first week of December.

The NHS choir deserves #1, I think. It is a nice combination of 2 songs that really have a,good message and it is a suitable message for Christmas.

Interesting about FUMF being used next year and also song for a film and adverts. I'm really pleased for Leona that she is getting more recognition for the album.

only fell down 3 places on sales to #64, real shame that streaming prevented it from charting last week and this week again.

I'm begging that they release FUMF worldwide
, particularly in Germany and USA. change the volume of the tapping and then release. It's absolutely fantastic imo and one of my most favourite leona songs

I know she is with a different label now and it's not so simple, but I really wish Leona could promote one more sleep/Christmas with love! Even if it was just two or three one more sleep performances 😩
