Why isnt she going to sing forgive me

after all it is her new single

Is there something wrong with it

i wonder if its because forgive me has been hanging round on music channels and radio for a few weeks now so a lot of people will have heard it, so she's decided to sing something different to promote the re-release of the album instead? just a thought.

i think a lot of musicians are more interested in album sales than single sales these days anyway.

I think it's because she may sing Run to promote the deluxe album rather than FM to just promote the single.

They don't seem bovvered though

I think it's incredibly rude to insist on using text speak when you've been asked not to. I believe it says in the T&C that you're not really allowed to.

Speaking in text language is against the rules on DS.

[quote=Tigerpaws;28428621]Not a hater here in the slightest I even voted for Leona and don't mind some of her stuff - not really a fan though but I have to say i really strongly dislike her version of Run.
For a couple of reasons first one being I love Snow Patrol and Run is one of my favourite songs so Leona's version just doesn't sit right for me.
Second reason if she releases it as a single it will be played to death and I know I will end up hating the song.

Isn't that weird - I also love Snow Patrol and yet think Leona's version of Run is brilliant - not as a direct cover of SP's song but a different version

Are they actually going to release "Run" as a single now then? They oughta have made it double A-side with Forgive Me

Not sure.

By what I've read there are only 3 new tracks on the re-release of spirit, and if she releases 2 out of the 3 as singles it's not going to be worth buying the re-release of the album when you can just buy the singles.

That's just my opinion though.

We're 60% CERTAIN she will be singing RUN not FM. Run is not an up temp song so it should be good

I seen Leona miming on the lottery. It must be really difficult to sing a song with such appalling diction live. Her stylist needs to have a word as well. The whole lottery performance was shambolic.

I just wish she would sing and not warble. She does have a good voice but why doesn't she use it properly?

No it wasnt. Perhaps the extended note at the end but the rest was mimed.

I'm not even gonna bother, people don't mime parts of a performance and sing others. Listen to the recorded version and then the live lottery version, then you will clearly see the differences, if you cant see and differences well you are just ignorant.

I hope she sings on it.

Funny how some of the instruments on the track were no where to be seen in the studio. If that is ignorance then it is surely appropriate to refer to dilusion here.

Yah, it's called a backing track. Forgive Me has loads of layers of vocals which Leona can't all sing at once. Look you are not gonna believe me so lets just end it here, but I'll give you a clue, she sang the chorus in a different key than the record.

Ah here come the excuses.

I dont really care. Everyone mimes on the lottery. Hers was just an exceptionally bad performance. She looked disinterested. She wants to be in America, not here.

The lead vocal was 100% live. I've listened to Forgive Me enough times to know that for sure.

The backing vocals and the backing track were NOT live.

Fair enough if that was the case. I just found it hard to tell. I dont think the lottery does any artist justice to be fair

i have just watched the lottery just to see if she mimed, well she sang live if you listen to her track on the album and then listen to the lottery show you will see the difference
