Katharine's CD songs, singles and David Forster preview songs are better than 'Bleeding Love'
Sorry Simon
Watching and hearing leona lewis on idol, i cannot fathom simon's fondness for her. Personally, it's still Katharine and no one else.
I agree that Leona did a super job on Idol last night, but also she was given the perfect song for her voice range, and that as soon as Katharine gets that perfect song which I think David Foster will get her, much attention will then be directed as to what a superior artist Katharine is.
On another note: Does anyone recall the article about when Katharine was on Idol that they had to be careful of the lighting because it showed right thru her dress? Well if anyone has Leona on tape or tivo from last night the lighting for the first 3 or 4 verses of her performance focused on her frontal view and you could see right thru her dress an slip.
Here is my theory. & opinion.not sure when Leona Lewis won the X-factor in England but if it was before Kat's time.. I feel Simon being the producer of X-Factor already made up his mind to threw his promotion $$$ with the help of Clive D to LL. Thus there was no hard push to promote Kat well.
I'm trying to relate to Leona Lewis singing but have not had a special connection with her as yet. I feel Kat sings much better and kat's CD with the exception of one song on her CD is better than Leona's.
Amanda_ Your right on.Take a look at her video,and you'll see __Sex written all over it. luva4 LL won the UK Idol crown about six months after Katharine's appearence in AI. Clive and Simon got to her after her big success in the UK,[Last Fall} The money they have spent on her promotions is obscene. Read my post from yesterday-04/23
I like "Bleeding Love" and I wish Katharine would have had something like that as her first single because it shows off the singer's vocal ability a lot more than Over It did but...whatever.
I noticed the "see-thru" part of Leona's dress below the waist in the lights right away. I thought that was funny because Katharine experienced the same thing when she was on Idol.
I don't have any problem with Leona at all. My issue is with all the overdone praising of her as the greatest singer to come along is a zillion years that TPTB from the Idol empire are doing with her.
As for her performance last night...you can tell all the appearances are wearing on her vocal cords. I saw her on Ellen a few weeks ago and she was excellent. Last night...not so much. You could tell she was cutting off some of the high notes because it wasn't there last night. It happens...especially when Clive & Simon are trying to "bleed" every last cent out of her.
I'm not sure I get the hype about LL at all after watching her perform last night. Not great stage presence at all and yes, I am joining the "I'm sick of hearing that song" club!
Simon's antics and hype notwithstanding, LL is a talented singer and 'Bleeding Love' is a pretty good single, though I don't see it as a #1. She even sounds a bit like Kat in some sections of the song. As others have already noted, it's ashame that Kat didn't receive the kind of support that Leona is. But that's no reason to hold it against LL, on the contrary, I'm very happy for her. Kat's time will come. Soon.
