    JAMELIA, LEONA LEWIS, MARIAH CAREY

    The words of Cromwell regarding Connaught spring to mind.

    Mike.

    Well done Leona

    Now up yours Jamelia

    They're both as talentless as each other, just like every other hyped up commercial karaoke singer out there. Just shows you that some people have no idea what music actually is..

    I presume you mean the guy (or gal) who actually wrote the song and the song producer/engineers as apposed to Leona Lewis?

    Well done to her

    Simon Cowell knows her to market her for the US and he well known and popular from American Idol

    I think thats how Louis Walsh's artists dont do well in the US

    Whats the betting that Leona will perform as a guest at some stage on American Idol

    She can sing.
    So can Mariah Carey.

    Don't like thier music? Fair enough. I'm not a big fan of theit singing either - too many notes going up and down in their singing. But don't slate them - they have talent. Just because they don't write their own music :rolleyes:

    Slate the **** out of them. Lots of people can sing, the only reason they do well is because men want to have sex with them which is a very marketable trait. Without their tits they'd just be karaoke singers.

    Producer/studio team to Leona: "ok Leona stand in front of that mic over there and sing these words we'v provided for you"

    Producer/studio team to Leona: "ok Leona the intro and verse's sounds fine so well done for that. We dont like the second line in the chorus though as it doesnt appeal to our main demographic so we would like you to change it to_________"

    Producer/studio team to Leona: "ok Leona the chorus sounds much more palatable to mainstream radio with the changes we'v made"

    Producer/studio team to Leona's Manager: "ok shes done a really nice job on the lines we provided for her, you can take her back to the hotel now and we will call you in a week or so when we'v turned it into a hit single"

    As somebody who has never heard her on Irish radio, because I never listen to the radio ever, who has never seen her on pop idol or whatever it was she was on, because I don't even have a tv, I did once hear her sing on this show, I think it may have been a tribute to some singer or something along the lines of that. Whatever it was, her voice was really good. I didn't rush out and buy her songs or anything, didn't even download one :pac: But she has got a good voice, no denying it.

    No different than the likes of Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Aretha Franklin, Maria Callas then?

    Dont think anyone is denying she has a really good voice just pointing out the difference between having a great voice and having creative talent.
