Leona Lewis - Lady Marmalade

[Mercyjackson14]

@9I4I1I No she doesnt

[Mercyjackson14]

@GhostwingX R u kidding listen to her sing i will always love you. She sings it better than Whitney houston

[kath888100]

christina did it better obiously

[kristina1922]

gosh this girl can sing.. her songs are so touching

[42394]

Am I the only one who caught 2:09??

[krishkrishkrish1]

she just did a wwhistle note.. am i the only one that thinks it was awesome!?

[GhostwingX]

She's not that good I heard

[9I4I1I]

she is wonderful in this except she needs to work on her intensity

[westdan05]

But Shw needs dance...'

[westdan05]

leona lewis. sing Lady marmalade, is fantastic... i couldn't imagine. it, but it's amazing'

[pionier111]

Sie macht einen Sprachlos..und nicht nur die Stimme..

[MegaMomo1997]

this song isn't 4 her except for the high note part gotta luv it but i'm sure if she sings Any other song especially HURT she would nail it

[butlerny]

@MegaMomo1997 did you mean another hurt? as she did an ep recently with hurt on it

[MegaMomo1997]

@butlerny she did hurt already?

[singtofeel11]

Leona is great, but Christina beats her so easily in "Lady Marmalade"

[TheSupershooter]

you guys arent getting it lol =D this is very new to her and she did a goodjob. it was very cute not slutty which i prefer. and as always her vocals are great

[JennifurLoveHugetits]

She's definitely not skanky enough for this song... not a good stage performance.

[Arkinko1]

amazing!!

[TheAsianStyle]

voulez vous chanter avex moi?!?

[Dautionable]

@TheAsianStyle wud u sing w me

[Ichigo13Hanyou]

@TheAsianStyle uh...good try. Voulex vous coucher avec moi.

[julieperkins007]

@Ichigo13Hanyou Because there were kids watching she couldn't sing "Voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir?" (Would you sleep with me tonight?). She had to sing "Voulez vous chantez avec moi ce soir?" (Would you sing with me tonight?). Age appropriate and all that!

[VannyyMusic]

@TheAsianStyle for kids ^^

[MusicAddicted4Life]

it isn't fantastic.

[whataname01]

Would give anything to see her in garter ;)

[MegaLeNa93]

she does have amazing voice.. but the song doesnt suit her .. though if she sings Christina Aguliera's any song... she would nail it....

[yahiie]

@MegaLeNa93 I dont think, so their voices are very different. And though i dont like her, i believe christina aguilera is one of those artists that are the ONLY ones that can nail their songs.

[ash62646582]

@yahiie i agree w u but u have to admit christina cant do leona's songs as well. :)

[xtinaroma]

I like her, but this song really doesn't suit her and I think in the hardest part (Christina's) she was out of tune...

[SeekThePaleSeptember]

@xtinaroma I agree...I mean Leona is a phenomenal singer. But she just doesn't seem to have the aggressiveness & interpretive prowess that Aguilera possesses and which only comes with experience. I think Leona will get there in time. But with this song she wasn't able attack it, nor come close to what Christina was able to pull off.

[MyaRousson]

i absolutely love Leona... but i did not like this performance at all.. :(

[MissNezzyBaybay]

actually 4got how goooooooooood she is till i watched this back! jheezus she won this show from the moment she enterd the sudition room, love leona!

[reaperfire1]

I love the fact she change'd Coucher with Chanter, hehe. I was like "Wait, you're singing the wron-- Oh wait" Leona's not a bad singer, I like'd the Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word cover.

[xodreaming]

This really wasn't good. it was just an average performace. yes, i know she had a condition with her throat, but she should just stick to ballads. and i'm a big fan.

[HoorahMonster]

@xodreaming well the judges thought it was good so people think your comment is completely wrong.

[xodreaming]

@HoorahMonster

uhh, first of all it's my opinion - it can't be right or wrong. i never asked you to agree with me in the first place.

[megustaverlas]

@xodreaming but by far she's got the best vocal.

[anime10lover]

i like that she isnt fake o:

<3

[GaGaAnime]

I love that she just wears normal clothes and she is really talented D:

[ChristinaJedra]

hahah she changed the words from coucher to chanter

she IS classy.

[mataro5]

2:00 - 2:07 OH MY GOD... or should I say OH MY LEONA?

[discoinmybelly]

whoo im goin 2 er concert in 4 weekz!!xxxxx

[lgb3000]

Her look in this vid is sooooo sexy

[Urofosh]

jebem ti mamu u picku

[TheBillieJean1234]

in this video, she sounds a little like Mya, who also sang this part for the 2001 remake of Moulin Rouge :D

[xxpinkstrawberriexxx]

i luv this song and leonas version is da best ive heard this far ♥

[3Glimpse3]

boring

[sewd0608]

i love her note at 2:01, that is amazing:D

[BrianUNC99]

one of the weaker performances

[chewerboy]

whoa... she was sick with BRONCHITIS in this performance!!! :D

[LunarStrain777]

is she singing "chanter" instead of "coucher"?

that'd be a cute idea :)

[MiamMiamxx]

@LunarStrain777 - yes she is I think she was shy of singing coucher, either that or it wasnt allowed because of the young audience watching

[betynhagw]

This might be stupid, but I'd like to understand why they'd changed the lyrics... what was the matter with "couché"? Oo

And don't get me wrong, I love Leona and all this fantastic journey through the X factor.

[LuniaVideo]

@betynhagw not "family friendly" so they switched it up.

[betynhagw]

@LuniaVideo hmmm... Got it! So, if there was any coerence, the dancers shouldn't have been dancing like that. xP Anyway, thanks! ^^

[DooDaht]

stick to ballads Leona

[messymonkey99]

Leona is an excellent singer, and she sung this song amazingly! Leona did waaaay better then All Saints!

[MiamMiamxx]

she puts the original to shame! xxx

[Chocnips]

no she don't...not even close....yeah if you like Disney...LOL I've heard better in karaoke

[mirandahope2005]

did she win this.

[mimlaprincess]

I love to see her wearing jeans :)

[PsionicJedi]

The high note she hit in this song is what got me really into her. Hearing that was like taking a hit of a really fantastic drug or something. <3<3<3

[No1mjfan88]

@PsionicJedi i know what u mean, love her high notes, and just her and her voice in general shes amazing :). and soo pretty.

[27372731]

This is the song good for her voice actually. She is better here than singing emotional songs like the previous ones. Yes, it's one dimension apart from the songs she sung before. I think as she grows older, she would learn to use d power of her voice. She's less experience. Way to go Leona. You are a SOFT singer right now. I can't see yet the HARD work. Peace.

[beanly1986]

Whats uo with her clothes, no costume?

[rikk7828]

I like her !

[AshleyChanelle97]

i love her hair!!!

[MissGirlBaby]

2:01

[snapfishfb2]

random

[WhisperingDuck]

She's really good but the song could have been a better song.

[mandyscott20081234]

Leona had tonsilitis that week which would been hard for her to sing. If it has been worse, she wouldn't have being able to sing.

[0X0Midnight0X0]

x factar was different back then

defo with the clothes

[scareMEneverLOL]

it was good, but not her best, i like her meaningful songs more.

[anotherphenomenon]

i think very good for a christina song shes just as good tbf

[Siddeeb]

it's a pattie labelle song

[2424arwen2424]

she's the best!!! WOW!!!!!!

[madybellefille]

Ouais genre le coucher/chanter ... j'adore XPTDR !

Leona pr tjr c'est la meilleure, la plus belle, elle est parfaite ... si on pouvait tous etre comme elle alala ;)

[xRWTYx]

hmm chanter instead coucher.. just sing coucher, that is how the lyrics go. who cares its on national tv. well, im from holland, and here you can say anything on tv.. so maybe that´s why i think its silly to sing chanter

[kamdevil]

meh! a wanabe Christina Aguilera

[sonicesocool]

This is cute. Something the song should not be.

[Claudi135]

It's really great!! But why is everyone singing "Voulez vous chouter (!!!) avec moi" not COUCHER???

[reynaldoalvarado]

elle dit chanter, pas Chouter, c'est parce que elle sait qu'elle ne peut pa dire ces expressions sur la téle....

[Claudi135]

Ah ok ... chanter est raisonable. Mais tout le monde sait que le chanson s'agit de coucher avec qn ...c'est un peu borné/refoulé... (je ne suis pas sûr avec le mot)

[jordanknox]

I was wondering the same thing. lol!

[maya7h]

@Claudi135 she sing "chanter", means "to sing"... beacouse it was on tv

[Claudi135]

I know now, thanks...but I think it's a bit narrowminded... Well, it doesn't really matter^^ She sang it great!

[snappysh]

Claudi, she sings "Voulez vous CHANTER avec moi"! ;)

[JaewithanMIinbetween]

because it's a public tv show. if it had the original lyrics it would mean would you sleep with me tonight.. instead... it says... will you sing with me tonight... Much less skanky I'd say

[bcdebob]

sooo cute!~ gosh, this looks so old now!~

[robin13kenneth]

fantasia's and christina's versions are way, way better. no disrespect tot he fans but her voice seems weak.

[rayheyheyhey]

You are clearly mistaken, please listen to her cover of "I will always love you" (use the youtube search option :))

[IrishCountryFan]

If that's her with a throat infection, that was still incredible, and no doubt she's the best the x factor will ever have by far!

[especial0]

this song is not about jeans and skechers! lol!

[chewerboy]

its amazing that she is able to pull off such an amzing performance despite her throat problem during that period. :)

[barrycummins]

Never even noticed the difference at the time!

I had to google translate the words that she changed to & from lol

For those that don't know either ----

(Guess which one she sang)

Would you sleep with me

Would you sing with me

She's dam right excellent singer, good looking too... am I bad in thinking though she reminds me a bit like Count Rochefort from the Three Muskehounds (its the long face and nose that does me thinks) she's no dog though!!!

Will 2009 be anyway better than 2007???

[ChulaMami1996]

it sound like she said voile voe Sho ti ave swa

[Setienpah]

She said voulez vous chanter avec moi.

[NaaNaaNaai]

i love that shes doing such a sassy classice song but isnt dressing sluty the way most singers do when they sing it

[lamiss93380]

is beautiful

[XOXB3CKYBOOPXOX]

I Loveee Leona, She Is By Far The Most Talented Singer X Factor Will Ever Have! No Matter How Long The Show Will Run! :D

[NuNuMuno]

wow that's great!!

[ShayneWardLoverx]

I Hate Her

[iheartsurfing]

she can only sing sad songs

[Saraquintana5]

I love her voice it's very beautiful"

[Beth875]

you people who leave this bad comments.. dont do it anymore.. if you dont like it dont watch it.. and give her a break.. she sang this amazing.. and she is sick. so get a life and watch something you like..

[terrytickler]

hun skal sang im som har en poo

[NZDEBUK]

She's too classy for this skanky song! ;)

[discoinmybelly]

@NZDEBUK shut up she duznt luk

skanky singing eni song>:(

[ChristinaJedra]

@NZDEBUK haha so true. she looks weird in the sneakers. Definitely no Christina Aguilera.

[xxRebelxxFitz]

Lol at the change of lyrics! Changing Coucher to chanter :P

[chanblue22]

I thought she said something different!

[stephiebabex]

SHES AMAZING

i love her:) and HER NEW SONG IS AMAZINGG

[husainfatmi1989]

have u considered the fact that she had a throat infection when she did this song? because i can assure you she said so herself. so her vocals couldn't have been at her very best anyway

[aapril88]

one thing i realised is dat she cnt sing up tempo songs well.... they have to slower for her vocals to sound good. and the ending was terrible. didnt sound rite. true story

[xezulzu]

yeah i'm sorry i made a mistake the people who said with er are as right as rain =D

[shelana2008]

i think she has a awesome voice but her voice is a lil to soft and low for this song...aspecially in the beginning..leona can get really high wit her voice but the bigging was to soft and low..it was not good..the high notez at the end has saved this performance

[SarahWalker25]

good but she can't beat mrs. christina aguilera

[bcrocker33]

well for me no one can beat the original Patti LaBelle.

[aapril88]

true dat

[xezulzu]

it IS chantEZ not ER "ER" is the "indicatif", I live in frnace, so sorry but you might have been studiing for 9 years doesn't mean you know everything about french...

[iLoveMrMerryGold]

Raa Gettiin Bareee Emosshh !

Geeh'

[Y0JA]

I think you're a bit confused.. :P It's "voulez-vous CHANTER" (with ER), not "voulez-vous CHANTEZ". The "EZ-form" is already used in the sentence, so you can't use it again. ;)

[KindaSparkly]

Yes, you are right.

[Y0JA]

I know I am, but..

Whoa, why all the thumbs down? :(

I didn't do anything wrong, I was only trying to help. :(

[KindaSparkly]

Voulez-vous chanter avec moi. I'm french, french is my first language.

[xezulzu]

yeah it is meant to be coucher, but i guess it's a bit to rude for like live TV...

[Iglaoavrea]

shouldn't the verb she uses be coucher?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir

[thefamouswilson]

they have changed it from "to sleep" to "to sing" because X Factor is a family show :)

[bcrocker33]

yes, and i think it is stupid they changed it. give me a break...people know what the real words are. there are worse words in songs today that are played during the day. the rest of the lyrics are about a brothel also HOPE did Hanky Panky and it is about bondage and spanking and that wasn't a problem? rubbish.

[JadesInTheSky]

Oh God she sucked at singing this she's no Maya or Mariah. Leona just doesn't have sex appeal or dancing ability and I hate how she cuts her high notes abrupt. Sorry UKanians Americans just do it better from Bianca Ryan, Mariah, Mya, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Patti Labelle. Even Simon said it on American Idol that America is known for it's great Singers.

[dizzlesmuk]

UKanians? .. wtf. anyways, your point about americans do it better, ermm, did you ever take into consideration that the uk is a tiny island, roughly the same size of some of the states in america.

[DaJokern]

Wow

Amen --------------- musicdoctor

[misterroyaltee]

they show soo much favortism towards her throughout the whole competition when she had bum notes they didnt acknowledge it watching it i thought it was very unfair like 1:28 or 2:06 i dont like her just caz of this show

[alowaaaaa]

SHe had a MASSIVE throat infection Tonsilitus or whatever its called. So are you really kidding me. Her falsetto is something none of the other conestants for ALL of the seasons could have beat (nor her whistles , belted notes, class or the fact shes effin gorgeous !

[vista806]

Simply Awesome!

[Niallersz]

My cousin thinks she looks like henrik larson the swedish footballer!

[em0sionelle]

In fact, it's not "voulez-vous chanter avec moi", but she had to sing "Voulez-vous COUCHER avec moi ?"

[xoxBarbieGirlxox1]

Nah, at 1:06 she sings Voulez-vous chanter avec moi

[KUSkaraokemeester]

it's ; Voulez vous chantez avec moi? not Voulez vous chanter avec moi -.- omg

[19secret89]

it's "voulez-vous chanteR" not chantez....

[IsothosestrasZephyr]

it is chantez... chanter is the verb itself. chantez is the vous format.

[19secret89]

yap i know but in this case it's "chanteR" as there's already "vouleZ" that goes with "vous"....so, chanter must be left in its original form... even in english right? do you want "TO sleep"...

"voulez-vous chanteZ" is uncorrect as much as if you'd say "doES he wantS to...??"

trust me..."vouleZ-vous chanteR" is correct! i studied french for 9 yrs.... -.-

[cherrytreemedia]

She had tonsilitis during this episode. I could never sing like that with tonsilitis. Hell, I had a cold and nearly flunked my singing juries.

I'm so envious.

[crikarika]

really! man that makes this better than!

[booshterr]

jade ewen sang it better on your country needs you, jades high notes are amaizng, this is still pretty good though.

[Andrexituuuh]

who is Jade?

[booshterr]

jade ewen sang for eurovision contest she won your country needs you :)

[josh231771]

Well this performance wasn't perfect, but she had tonselitis, so all the haters give her a fucking break !

[vdejlig]

she's good, but she's best when she sings the 'slowly' songs, like i will be d;

[Willow756]

this dosent suit leona but i have 2 say the dancing is better then her usual chicken dancing

[iinsiiderboii]

she doesnt make her performance "SEXY" like the song.

shes the "WHITNEY HOUSTON" ..

and not a "SEX BOMB " ^^

[Diani003]

Her voice does not match with the song. She's got a sweet voice, but not necessarily powerful voice.

[FarRockawayrocks]

Leona doesn't have a powerful voice???? Have you heard her sing "Run"??!!!!

[ilovehersh]

I think she lacks "flavor" (read: sensuality) for this song.... but technically is flawless. Might be that I've always pictured this song performed by girls with a bit of an attitude, not by girls as sweet as Leona!

[schokofondue]

voulez-vous chanter avec moi?

[unsigned17]

uh huh?!

[calice626]

She sings "Do you want to sing with me?" because "Do you want to sleep with me?" (the original version) The X Factor is a family show and the slut version is not appropriate.

[ilovehersh]

Damn straight!

[ember013]

i like her slow songs better, and she changed the french part

[mikiko444]

she is amaziing girl

[AnArkoilpunkA]

dis she invented the french?

[dirtyrockhippylove]

changed to sing with me so as not to be before watershed.

[luvpolitics]

decent performance but where the hell is her hooker outfit??? come on...anyone who performs this song must bring out the slut wear...she didnt even pack on the make up...

[DragonsdeRouen]

Apparently, all is organised ... back vocals sings "Voulez vous chantez avec moi ce soir" too ... So we can assume that all is prepared :)
