Is this woman the greatest singer to ever come from the UK ?.

[Hiney]

Welcome back Gareth - you have been missed.

Leona is a good singer. Big NOSE though

This is one of her best from X Factor

Welcome back US !!

 

[challengechappers]

why are you so obsessed with this dull as dishwater east end receptionist? give it a break mate. compared, off the top of my head, to dusty springfield? kate bush? tracey thorn? amy winehouse (back in the day)? you're having a laugh.

i know music is all just about opinions, but you sure do talk a crock of shit!

 

[Frutos]

Earlier in the thread, I described her cover of "Run" as being "dull-as-ditchwater", now challengechappers describes her as "dull as dishwater".

NSC, over to you, which is the right one (it's gotta be more interesting than talking about Leona)?

 

[challengechappers]

reckon that's a score-draw frutos...

and jazmine sullivan (not british unfortunately) pisses over anything leona's got in her bag:

MySpaceTV Videos: Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows by Jazmine Sullivan

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not to my tastes really, but she can warble a tune, I guess.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

And its DITCHWATER. Frutos wins.

 

[HseagullsH]

Good thread US.

Admittedly she was amazing. Perfectly sung.

Leona Lewis


Not my type of music but she is class...

 

[Dover]

Leona is OK but next to Kate Bush, Sam Brown or Dusty she is strictly Vauxhall Conference. I will wait for her to see if she can emulate Doris Troy and then see if she is worthy of promotion to the leauge,



P.S. Good to see you back.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

That cover of Run was cringeworthy. Someone should be made to PAY for that travesty.

About 3 weeks ago I posted a thread saying "Light a candle for Uncle Spielberg"...... I know, roughly, what happened to you and I felt your pain. now I feel compelled to start a thread " Light a bonfire for Uncle Spielberg" and yes, you know whats on top !... I can't believe you like this overhyped Uberwarbler......she completely trashed that half way decent Snow Patrol song...... FFS, every song she sings she goes through the entire range of audible notes just to show she can, its music by numbers, F'in musical Dot-to-Dot

 

[MOG]

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned Elkie Brooks.
First with Vinegar Joe, then as a solo singer.

Elkie Brooks is a damn fine call. Funnily enough my ipod was on shuffle just now and she came up with Fool if you think it's over.

Can we also throw Polly Jane Harvey into the mix please?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

she's got a good voice, wish she would get rid of all those shit ornaments that she does, they're just awful, and she's obviously being TOLD to do them

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Dusty Springfield

Is the RIGHT answer!

most underrated

 

[Pavilionaire]

"Forgive me". For what? A shit voice. Bollocks.. You're no Dusty Springfield love, now f*** off!

 

[Buzzer]

Complete one hit wonder but a really lovely voice is Tasmin Archer with a soppy one hit wonder that I really adore

[Buzzer]

Which reminds me - Caron Wheeler has a BRILLIANT voice.

 

[MOG]

How about these four?

Barbara Dickinson.

Elaine Paige.

Julie Covington.

Julie Driscoll.
