Am I the only person on this planet who hates Leona?

She did a cover version, eh?

Quelle surprise - just another manufactured karaoke singer.

Yes but so does everyone that does the live lounge including Foo Fighters, Snow Patrol, Dizee Rascal, QOTSA. Its not like she's released it, just a one off but its been played a lot since, mainly because it's so surprisingly good!

I'm with you on this ELS. Terrible singer of bland pop pulp. Should get back to her day job stacking shelves. But Simon Cowell is more to blame for crimes against ear drums.

Chez doesn't know you very well does he? I mean, you hardly liked Bellotti and Archer did you.....?!:bigwave::lol::laugh:

BAG, you need to stop sniffing the medicine you're giving people....

I'd like to see you do better!

I realise because shes come out of a talent show, it is popular to not like these people - I dont like x factor at all, but you cant deny that this girl has serious talent. She went to Sylvia Young - hardly somewhere to go when you aren't talented!!

If you base it entirely off chart position, you aren't going to. I'd like to think I'm a better trance producer than she'll ever be a "musician" though...

I love her - she's just pure talent. No-one comes close to her at the moment!!

Give me one album of Sinead O'Connor, Beth Gibbon, Michelle Shocked or Emilie Simone every five years rather than 10 of Leona's albums. These women have more talent in the stuff they flush down the loo than the karaoke queen you idolise.

Absolutely :clap:

Being number one (as Leona somehow is atm) does not mean you're any good. These days it invariably means you've got very good marketing people behind you. Just look at Crazy Frog, for crying out loud.

I dont think that top of the charts means anything. She is a good singer. She can play piano too, i think give credit where it's due.

I can play piano, as can half the middle class kids in this country (although unlike my brothers and sisters I wasn't sent to piano lessons, my parents grew some sense). Doesn't mean much really.

Who sang Bleeding Love before Leona did? Its not a cover, therefore not kareoke.

It's a matter of taste, I like the ballad drivers like Houston, Dion etc, and Leona does fall in those brackets.
