Well 4 only for the UK and three for the rest of the world because only Uk will get AMLT as the bonus track.

I'm a bit dissapointed to but at least the rest are all original and have been produced by amazing producers and Leona has had a lot of input in them!

I just hope the remaining tracks that we haven't already heard are up tempo!

Both Homeless and I Will Be have been heard before.

"Homeless" is one I don't care about. There was always going to be something from Jorgen Elofsson and it's decent. I could probably count the number of British people that had heard that song before, on one hand. "A Moment Like This" doesn't really count as it had to be on in the UK, although it won't be on the US version. "I Will Be" is great. I think it suits Leona better than Avril. It's a bit odd that it has been used on both. Although it does remind me of "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson where Clive Davis used another artist on his label to write for a new one.

The only one I feel there is no need for is "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face".

Obviously Leona doesn't have a choice with AMLT. It looks like she especially chose First Time Ever as a cover herself, so that's better than her being forced to have it on the album. I think Homeless may have been Simon's choice of a cover, and Clive Davis probably thought I Will Be would be a good song for her to cover. I'm not disappointed tbh, because I think if Leona didn't want to do these songs they would not be on the album. And the others are all original and some of them co-written by Leona, so it's still good.

They could put forgiveness on the album but it sounds too different to the other tracks.

She has probably recorded 40 or 50 tracks in total.

Such a shame noone considered RUN before Live Lounge!! I would buy the album just for that cover!

Im not worried bout her few covers-I will be, I had never heard before, Homeless-nope never. The only one id heard was The First Time and she sings it amazingly.

AMLT im not bothered-as the winners single i can accept it being cover and im not to fussed about it being on the album unless its been changed, updated or something different done to it-like acoustic or something...

Yea i would of prefered that om the album to the first time, but its a very recent cover which is very well known, at least first time is not recent. Even though its amazing i dont think she should release it coz there will be to much comparison, and cover criticism.

I never herd of homeless before leona sang it

Yup its nicer now people love it but know it was for Live Lounge! Works better and most of us still have it now anyway!

Just to let those that arent already in the know, that Leona is turning on Oxford Street's christmas lights! and performing, unfortunately Westlife will be perfoming too.

cheers Lea-yea hrd this last week! Wish i could go to it!

NP.

They're still not CD quality (can't wait for a week on Monday for this), but thankfully a lot of the tininess & clipping from the mono versions put up earlier has gone as I recorded it in stereo via Audacity.

The removal of the buzzing / noise in the background (again a tool in Audacity) really improves things as well.

I know this is cheeky and lazy but is there any chance someone could give me the links to spiideys mp3's? I have a bad quality version of Homeless and Take A Bow oh and FITS

Hi everyone ,

Any Leona news today? This thread is moving at a supersonic rate so it is near impossible to read up all that I've missed (that's just an excuse , I'm just being lazy! )

Thanks for that lea27 , I think I might just go to it , even if I have to tolerate Westlife!

Thanks Spiidey you are fantastic

Thanks for those spiidey , it makes me appreciate the songs even more!

Hey Ansildrall-not much today.

No bother

Yea kelly advising leona was on the other day...not sure id take her advice. As much as I like her, My December was weak. Kelly does her own thing-but Leona knows whats best for her....

Just thought I'd let people know , this thread is now offically the second biggest thread on the X factor forum ever , only beaten by the Eton Road thread , which I'm sure we can beat in the future!

wow i didnt notice that!!

thats fantastic-still work to be done though if we are to go to biggest!!

Im sure in the next week or two we will be getting bigger and bigger and biggest!!

Wow! That's great! I'm sure we will beat it - this thread will go for years and years as Leona's career progresses.

Soon, when all Eton Road's fans have realised that they're not going to make it, that thread will drop off.

Yeah I can't wait for super HQ versions on the CD but until then, your versions are amazing. I keep playing through all the songs over and over.
