 Don't Be Misinformed April 15, 2008

Alot of people seem to see Leona as the flavor of the month when writing reviews about "Bleeding Love". Don't be misinformed about this girl's talent.
I'm from the United States and about two years ago I was searching YouTube right when the third season of the 'X-Factor' started to air, and that's when I discovered this beautiful girl's singing talents. Like the now defunct Pop Idol (in which ever popular American Idol was based off of), it is a search for the next great singing sensation or sensations. The real difference between the Idol format and this one is that groups are allowed to compete and each category of performers is given their own mentor. Simon Cowell happened to get her.
The point of explaining the details of the show is that over the course of many weeks, Leona grew from a shy, timid girl into a superstar that has taken over the world. She isn't something produced to be the latest craze. She's just a girl who got a lucky break for the world to see her talent.
As far as Bleeding Love goes, the song was originally for Jesse McCartney's album, but was given to Leona and changed to suit her range. The song (and her Album 'Spirit') will probably remind you of the early 90's sounding mid-tempo pop ballads. She has basically filled the void of the style of music the old Mariah Carey used to sing now that Ms. Carey has moved on to more of the new age R&B-Hip Hop fusion genre.
Bleeding Love is a pop ballad for the ages and Leona does the song incredible justice. Don't be fooled into not downloading this song just because a few people think she's just a passing music 'it' girl.
 If you're bleeding love, get a band-aid.... March 22, 2008

Leona Lewis has hit it big in the UK, winning Simon Cowell's "The X-Factor" (think of American Idol across the Pond) Her "Bleeding Love" has made her a British success,and she's bringing it overseas. It's enjoying success in the colonies.
"Bleeding Love" is the usual heartbreak/breakup song. There are the lyrics of "you're cutting me up/I'm bleeding love." The lyrics aren't that bad. It's a song about codependence, or the pain of an emotional break. Lewis' delivery is semi-soulful/semi-Celine Dion. The instrumentation, which is soft rock-meets-hip hop, makes her a quasi-Mariah Carey. Every once in awhile, Lewis verges into histironics. The song is neither as great as KT Tunstall,nor as awful as Fergie. It's "eh."
"Bleeding Love" won't have you dancing along. It's a ballad,and a bland one at that. If you're bleeding love, get an antiseptic,and put on a band-aid.

Its an OK song, but it seems like yet another "it" girl situation. She's got a gorgeous voice and they should really push her to do much stronger vocals and not so much of the easy listening stuff. The music market nowadays has a small attention span, and Leona is another pretty face thrown into the mix, but hopefully we'll hear some more good things from her.

Her voice is great, the song is pretty catchy, the music video is well done, she is gorgeous... but the drums sounds like a cheap radio turned all the way up (clipping/distortion), and the organ/keyboard/synthesizer sounds like a cheap childhood Casiotone... spoiled the whole song! I do hope they fire the band and re-release another version of this song. Those bleedin' drums!!
