Leona Lewis' X-Factor Journey

[austinheistanduk]

i honesty just cannot get enough of this girl :) <3

[Phoenix110189]

Thanks for this video! Truely an amazing singer. The only decent artist to come out of xfactor!

[Crisyforlife44]

she sounds so much like mariah carey leona is amazing i love her

[falconer]

She's so humble and amazing. The first time I heard her sing (which was Maria's "Without You"). I was literally like wow, who is this girl?? Then I watched her audition ... was completely blown away and hooked!

What song was she singing @1:38 - 1:43

[ChocolateTundra]

God she's fuckin' beautiful

[MegaMrssandy]

can somebody tell me what's the song that's starting at 2:15 ?thank you:)

[JT26ish]

@MegaMrssandy That is O-Town - All or Nothing ..

[MegaMrssandy]

@JT26ish thank you!:)

[DemiandJoBros4ever]

She's amazing and deserved to win.

The end.

[luthongizon]

great montage, thank you for posting! :)

[ThePianosarah]

i just have to say it again:

this woman is incredible! and thank you for this wonderful video, it's well mixed up : )

that's the reason why there are casting shows like the x-factor - to bring a star every 5 years through to the public.

[randi8355]

hay please tell me title of the song when part 10;29

[randi8355]

U are My inspiration Leona

u are the best ....

[626Rosa626]

What's wrong with these 4 people?!

[ThePianosarah]

@626Rosa626 they probably like eva cassidy, whitney houston better :-)

[TheSupershooter]

Now i know why she's so special. I still don't like her cuz after seeing all of this i immediately past liking her instead i've gotten obsessed. she is now my favorite singer ever. sorry you guys can ignore what i typed i just had to get all this off of my chest on why I suddenly love Leona so much.

[TheSupershooter]

I watched all of her live performances in order from I'll be there to a moment like this. Every week she delivered and has gotten better week by week losing her nerves and getting more confident but never cocky. I was amazed how she chooses a tougher song each time. it's crazy how the judges couldnt find anything wrong with her even the best idol/factor winners weren't close to Leona's nearly flawless xfactor run. My favorite performance that really got me I have nothing. she deserved to win.

[TheSupershooter]

so i watched all her xfactor appearances from bootcamp-xfactorhouse-top12 I realized i was wrong about her personality when she thought of her family first before herself and then when she doubted her amazing Miami Audition in front of Simon it showed me she doesnt have a cocky attitude. I watched a few of her xfactor moments(sad i cant find anymore) she was cute, funny, and shy with killer vocals. obviously i knew she won but i was curious why people voted her over the other contestants (cont).

[TheSupershooter]

then when i first saw her walk in mmh i was like okay goto admit she's very good looking now let's hear the voice and i was like dayum she got some pipes one of the best auditions but not my favorite AI or xfactor audition so i still kept wondering okay she's got looks and voice and i already judged her attitude and personality not being racist but i thought she would be like beyonce or alicia someone with swag and fire. i even thought worst that she could be arrogant but boy was i wrong (cont).

[TheSupershooter]

okay ive heard of leona back in 08 when her song bleeding love was huge but i didnt really care after 2 years of noticing but still not caring for her like in avatar and final fantasy i started thinking what is so great about her. then what really pushed me to do some research was when matt cardle did a cover of bleeding love and when the judges compared him to her i was like that's it what so special about this leona girl? so i looked up her audition 1st thing i notice dang 10mill views (con).

[katrina374]

And she did win!! ♥

[SigneH96]

very good video!!! :-))

I really adore Leona, she has the most beautiful voice when she sings and the cutest when she talks. I hope that she will stay the same, and not just change because she is world wide famous.

SHE IS ALSO VERY BEAUTIFUL! SHE LIGHTENS UP EVERY ROOM!!!! <3

[KingK93]

The 4 that dislike this must be deaf!

[saxman25o]

Beautiful! 

[SILKOFAG88]

i love leona lewis!!! she is such a good singer she makes me cry.

[LaveVaisselle02]

1:27 if i was an other contestant at this moment i would be so ashamed of myself to be next this amazing woman because my voice would be a giant shit compare to her!!

[zykain]

This actually brought me to tears. I'm going to her first concert that comes to Atlanta.

[TheSupershooter]

@zykain yeah i wish she'd tour in usa =/ i would so go to all state arena front seats

[deanf01]

wow, amazing to look back on it all! :) Such amazing talent from day 1! :) Brilliant video! :)

[Coolboy81]

Every performance of hers on X Factor was pure perfection!! Such vocal control and strength is not often seen in contestants on shows like Idol, X Factor etc, most of them don't hold a candle to the powerhouse voice of this amazing woman. Truly born to be a star, she's the complete package - beautiful looks, beautiful voice and a beautiful personality as well. She's truly the real deal! :)

[wildboy10]

Haha at 3:40-3:44. Thinking about the extra millions he's about to bring in!

[Arkinko1]

she is the best singer ever been in x factor

[IamAnUnknownMember]

she looks beut ere!!! when talking

[pixieonline]

[eduzinhoxvre]

I hate when she sings "HERO" by MARIAH CAREY

MARIAH CAREY IS THE ONE PERSON WHO CAN SING THAT SONG

[bazla123]

@eduzinhoxvre you can sing any song on x factoe -_-

[dryice17]

@eduzinhoxvre Don't you mean whisper the song? That's all that Mariah can do these days..

[deanosalford]

[gizmokodiak]

Good job mate! She has an insanely great voice! But this video is pretty pro dude. :)

[jutzhi]

[gridergirl]

i never really cared for her until now, and sadly, it took a video game for me to notice her.

i'm a fan now. her voice is pretty amazing. better than most of these wannabe singers who only have beauty but no talent.

Leona has both. Go Leona!

[kristinbaylis]

Really awesome video montage, Ethereal262. One of the best montages I've seen on YouTube - had everything you wanted to see :o)

[Radja23]

[JBello86]

Does anyone know the name of the music which starts playing in the background at 2:51? I've heard it in movies before but I can't seem to figure it out.

[Girlx0x0x1]

Its Portuguese Love Theme- Craig Armstrong

Its in Love actually

[gettysburgian59]

The song is called "All or Nothin'". In the US it was done by the MTV band O-Town. In England it was remade by boyband Westlife. Not sure but I think that's Westlife's version.

[Girlx0x0x1]

Portuguese Love Theme- Craig Armstrong

Perfect resume for Leona's experience, i liked it so much! For me she is outstanding and her voice fills me with nice emotions. No matter what she sings it's pure pleasure listening to her and admiring her nice behaviour.

[RinkDream]

Can you help me with music from 3.04 till 3.49? I heard it in a movie, what is it?

[vef879]

I love Leonas Voice i dont think ive ever seen her slip up on her vocals shes so good :D

[copperhead29]

I have watched every season of American idol, and although there have been some talented people found on there, they are absolutely no comparison to this girl.She is absolutely wonderful. I thank youtube for existing, just so we as Americans can witness such a talent. She seems to be so humble and real. I hope she can stay that way, and not fall into divadom like somany before her.

[S4NiiLiikeee]

OMG she is soo brilliant !!!

[bobbyginge]
