Leona Lewis at the Hackney Empire

[wonderful543]

everyone is talented in their own way. no singing voice sounds the same as another so there's no point in comparing Leona's voice to someone else. She sounds great here

[sustainvids]

It is pretty cool to think, she is singing the theme song form the movie Titanic (My Heart Will Go On). Which is a James Cameron movie, and the music in that movie is written and composed by James Horner. And go figure, in years to come she would be doing the theme song for the movie Avatar (I See You). Which is a James Cameron movie and music in that move is also written and composed by James Horner.

[MyClw]

GREAT:)

[MyClw]

LOVE:)

[remixbeebi]

She is GREAT ((:

[xoiheartleonaxo]

"We're going to have, we're going to have-"

*Random kid from background* "YEY!"

Hahaaha :)

[SweetieWee]

Lady D! :D

[sweetiepetie]

Ooh apparently Leona Lewis here is a ghost, according to some woman being haunted on This Morning!

[DanScot19]

@sweetiepetie Pmsl. when was this ????

[sweetiepetie]

@DanScot19 Today on This Morning, there was a woman who said her house was haunted and she said one of the incidents was when they heard a woman singing. They were filming when they heard the singing, so the played the clip and it was Leona singing My Heart Will Go On!

[DanScot19]

@sweetiepetie Holy. gonna have to try and find the video lol. cheers x

[waynedaniel19]

WOW!!! i am such a huge fan of leona, there is a girl with talent... every time i hear a song of hers, guaranteed i always get tingles down the side of my face whenever i hear her sing...

really looking forward to her next album,

[sch001b0y]

I wish she would sing this again.

[NickWright3]

love it loads and loads and loads <3

[DanScot19]

She rode through the woods. She was BROKEN, but she was ALIVE and knew she would get BETTER IN TIME. She knew WHATEVER IT TAKES she had to RUN and keep going and she would be HAPPY. I WILL BE free. She was BLEEDING LOVE but was BRAVE. FORGIVE ME she cried as she looked back. She whispered I GOT YOU as she disappeared into the mist. Her voice ECHOED but her SPIRIT remained ...............

[trungkien978]

@DanScot19 this is the best comment i see this month :)

[DanScot19]

@trungkien978 Cheers m8

[Naed607]

The MC at the beginning was dead-on :)

[dezzylamb1]

agreed Leona Lewis is an amazing singer/artist...love her

[WrightCharl]

she is actually my favourite female singer ever! shes amazing!

[lubaina99]

how old was she here?

[IOLPLD]

@lubaina99

She was 12 or 13

[howdoi101]

wow.. got shivers just like the first time I heard Celine

[Nathaniel20]

I love her!

[TheSupershooter]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­w she deserves the world!

[second1won]

Got tears in my eyes.. and she's so friggin' beautiful!

[kcalamita22]

It's little Leona! This is precious- how old is she here?

[Kjb014]

its funny how she still performs the same with her hand motions lol

AMAZING!

[MrLtg93]

@Kjb014 lol I said the exact same thing when I saw this. This is such a good performance, even for an adult, let alone for a 13 year old

[Leonaloverxx]

So cute! You can hear how her voice has changed but you can still hear those little bits which make her well her! Love you Leona

[silentknight826]

4:32 I always wondered what that horn like sound was, coming from the audience after her every X Factor performance. Since it was sounded here as well it must've always been coming from her family and friends. It's nice that she could always distinguish their support from a vast crowd of cheers. And it shows how long they've been supporting her for.

[musicfanyep]

It's nice and interesting that she grew up in Hackney which is a diverse part of The UK; I think Hackney is like the parts that line the west coast here in the United States such as San Diego or Seattle. BTW, nice poem, DanScot19!

[DanScot19]

She Walked through the woods

Her heart was broken, But she was alive

She was Bleeding love but knew she would get better in time

she knew she just had to run

and she would finally be happy

she whispered I Got You

As she dissapeared into the mist

Her Voice echoed But her Spirit remained ....!!!

[chewerboy]

@DanScot19

oh my! how did you come out with all that?!  :D

[chewerboy]

@DanScot19

she followed the footprints in the sand which came from God to success

God told her she was lost then found

she then asked God 'forgive me'

[DanScot19]

@chewerboy Nice !!!!

[145naruto145]

Amazing !! o_o !! OMG !

[xNatalie24x]

This is amazing for a 13 year old. And that is mostly natural talent. She did have a lot of training then. But even though it is great here. She is much improved. Amazing now! Would love to hear her sing it now. She looks and sounds really old for a 13 year old. Her hand gestures are a bit cheesy here but they are classy now. But you can see here she had star potential. Amazing girl!

[thebloga20]

KUDDOS TO HER THIS IS A HARD SONG TO SING,I'M A MEZZO-SOPRANO.

[laughingqueen78]

Shes so cute here!

She was still so great here but now shes even better

her voice has matured so much

its so cool to see her sing at this age!

[CrystalMurphyMusic]

She sang it pretty good. I would love to hear her sing it now though! I love her voice and I sing a lot of her songs! :)

Crystal

[fabiomorientes]

OMGGG +.+

She was already amazing +.+

[JUSTINMILL3R]

Damn! This kind of range for a 13 year old??? I was root'n for her on my bed! hahaha

[Bohovocation]

WOW!! She is so cute here!!! Her voice was spectacular from such a young age!! Its still the same now, just more controlled and even more beautiful. <3

[paulwicks15]

"Lady D" knew what she was chatting... absoloutly mind blowing! what a inspiration and Amazing role model for young children! Love The Lewis xXx

[TheLCT1000]

the people who talk about Charice thats hardly fair, Leona was 13 in this video, and yes, even though it was an amazing performance of 1 of my fave songs ever, she is way better now. Leona is a better singer than Charice, i've been to Leonas concert tour, she was absolutely stunning. Leona has the greatest vocalist voice in the world at the moment. Whitney, Mariah have lost their voices and Leonas filled the gap with her amazing vocal chords. Leona is the greatest voice FACT :)

[harri2000]

Always talented!

[kyzs]

Awesome vid!

[wentty93]

fantastic. love you leona lewis. my only idol.hopefully you will visit vietnam. we r waiting for u.

[cookiexdoughx]

She is so AMAZING!

[xheadphonesx]

lamo at her holding the mic.

[o0oDanthanho0o]

OMG, that's the greatest performance i've ever seen!!! SUPER TALENT!!!!!!!

[am3ri3s]

can u see that despite many cheers and yells from the audience, leona is just completely oblivious to all that... she just sings- incredibly at that!

[chrin13]

the host was right she really did make it lol

[No1mjfan88]

shes gorgeous, love her, amazing voice :). she sings this so beautifully.

[SingASong18]

She's more fearless here than she ever was during the X Factor! It's really shocking to think she had to make it through the X Factor, look at her talent even at 13! How can it be that no one invested in this girl enough to give her a proper contract?

[superx57]

Great performance! I guess all those years of operatic vocal training really paid off...I'm not the biggest Leona fan, but I must say I would much rather hear her sing this song than Celine.

[tomXmidlandsX]

omg that was really good i mean imagine what she would be likesinging this now , how old was she here ??

[am3ri3s]

13! 13! THIRTEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!

[tburke644]

I just want to say that she is my favourite singer!

But that's irrelavent because I've just noticed that she was only 13 there, and look at the way she's dressed! Now... look at the way 13 year old girls are dressed today!

..... Compare!

[2happyone]

wow shes so amazing and talented

go Leona:)

[caliche992]

Can people go to sleep with their charice talk no1 wantss to read it! This vid is about LEONA n LEONA ONLYYY get it got it ! Now hop off!

[calvy]

TALENT

[kh9234]

Her voice has changed a lot she is stil good i love how she sings all my fav songs i wish should would sing a cover now ! anyone know how old she was in the video?

[tburke644]

@kh9234 she was only 13! she ended up winning the competition! :)

[zccajj]

This is fantastic! <3

Who is Charice?

[kelvinpyaeko]

@zccajj charice is an over cocky girl who trys too hard to sound like whitney ... :P definitely i prefer leona to charice

[argenies141]

@kelvinpyaeko me 2,charice doenst know how to perform

[Jen1773]

woah.

[alextrabaske]

Leona eres mi idola y siempre lo seras =) espera k no cambies tu forma de ser ni tu musica para vender mas como hacen otras

[Kayle07x]

Once again, she owned the stage! Incredible.

[K93Mall]

Leona has a mature voice now.. and this very nice!!

[MusicallyUbiquitous]

OMG WOW!!!!!!! AMAAZING!!!!!!!!

[loithanoo]

How beautiful the voice is ! She is so talented !

[Dam112]

Nice performance, I dont think its as impreesive for a 13 year old compared to other 'impressive' singers at 13. But yeah nice, she holds that mike up by her nose lol

[calvin999999999]

she held the mic so high!

Amazing for 13 years old

[tol03]

Epic performance, i loved every second of it!

[Mellexzap]

C'était deja une diva <3

[jinsuang0612]

I was very impressed ... Angelic voice! how wonderful! Her parents must be proud of her ～ Incredible! now she has become one of the famous singer! Even a Diva ~~~ You did it! leona ~ <3

[martinima]

aww those lil hand moves are still what she does now, shes so cute!! She was amazing back then already, its amazing how much shes improved, shes just phenomenal now!!

[Onalem]

LEONA LEWIS CON 14 AÑOS DE EDAD.

[wexhamp123]

@DoctorMontalban What a stupid thing to say.You trolls just can't stay away from Leona's videos. You have to compare her with your favourites to expose your insecurities. That Charice girl is not a patch on a great artist like Leona.

That girl shouts and screams with abnormal expressionsTBH. Leona on te other hand SINGS even at that young age.There is no comparison and you know it so buzz off.

Go and appreciate your favourite on her videos. Oh and don't forget to wear ear plugs.

[DoctorMontalban]

@wexhamp123 Troll? Quit projecting. You're probably not educated enough to understand what that means, so get professional help and they'll walk you through it. You clearly have some anger issues.

[watchinginawe]

@DoctorMontalban you Charice fans do not understand that you are harming her by continually going on Leona videos and saying how much better your girl is. You are creating antagonism from Leona's HUGE WORLDWIDE fanbase for no reason. So Charise is good, that's great, so go watch her videos and leave all of us who couldn't be less interested in your Filipino songbird alone. All you are doing is turning people off Charice, when otherwise they may have checked her out, so just give it a rest!

[DoctorMontalban]

@watchinginawe The only thing I'm giving a rest is trying to talk sense into you. Charice > Leona....deal with it.

[watchinginawe]

@DoctorMontalban So tell me exactly why have you taken the time to search out and watch this Leona video? Why aren't you watching Charice?

[DoctorMontalban]

@watchinginawe I actually explained it in the first four words of my original posts. You guys are so blind with rage you all missed it. I'm just having fun winding you all up, bc it's so damn easy.

[watchinginawe]

@DoctorMontalban 2 things buddy. Firstly the ' I really like Leona but' approach doesn't fool anyone especially when it is followed by criticism from a Charice fan. That is an attempt to placate Leona fans before saying your girl is better. That is like psychology for 4 year olds. Secondly you are in no way winding me up. My posts are merely a kindly offer of advice to you that you are damaging your heroine Charice, not helping her. You are welcome to take it or leave it, that's up to you.

[DoctorMontalban]

@watchinginawe Thanks for your kindly, unsolicited advice, pal. But I don't think Charice's career hangs in the balance over our little dialogue. My kindly advice is to get over yourself and your heroine. As far as my trying to "fool" anyone (as if I give a rat's arse what you think), it is in fact possible to like Leona AND like Charice at the same time, though I like Charice better. I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around that. I mean that would be critical thinking for 4 year olds.

[watchinginawe]

@DoctorMontalban I'm just having fun winding you up bc it's so damn easy.

[DoctorMontalban]

@watchinginawe Nice. You liked my line, I'm flattered. I thought it was clever too.

[watchinginawe]

@watchinginawe Yep, It's not bad. I just felt it was way better used going in your direction rather than mine. No-one winds me up, I'm a chilled dude. I welcome all comments and appreciate all opinions, it makes the world interesting.

[fallendancer]

@DoctorMontalban I'm so sorry for you...you should understand that people have different opinions and as you can see people LOVE Leona. For me LEONA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>­>>>>>>>>>charice. Why? Becaouse of their voice. Leona can sing so beautifly with emotions and she's not SCREAMING like little girl....like charice. :)

[DoctorMontalban]

@fallendancer Here's a trick. See if you can figure out how you're being a hypocrite. Go! Don't hurt yourself.

[TheSuCool]

@DoctorMontalban man seriously get a life. People like you pass their lives comparing Leona with somebody -.- that is really annoying. Comparing Leona with mariah, whitney now Charice... that is enough! Leona is UNIQUE! So shut up!

[DoctorMontalban]

@TheSuCool One look at your page is a clear indication of which one of us needs a life.

[TheSuCool]

@DoctorMontalban i don't do stupid comments retard! u r a waste of time!

[zerackid]

amazing

[hannahsingsjonas]

how old was she?

She sounds amazing!

[LilyundErin]

@hannahsingsjonas she was 13

[LeonaLewisG]

OMG.

[cookiexdoughx]

She was amazing then and is amazing now! <3 xxxxx

[TheLeonalewis321]

wow she made me cry

like no words

i love her <3

[jeanhalliwell]

She's amazing , that's all =)

I'd love hear her sing this song now , im sure it would be greater!

[miacarinaaa]

haha she's definitely great, especially for a 13 year old... but the weird little finger tap she does on the microphone made me cry of laughter for some reason!

[ekjasdevi]

wow her voice sounds different in a cute way lol :)

[thatsS0cinful]

I can't stop watching this, it's the cutest thing lol

[SWISSGLEEK]

she has weird mimics!! and what's up with the weird outfit?!?

BUT OMG she sounds amazing, a little too nice and shy though... <3

[frakusv2]

@SWISSGLEEK I was thinking the same thing too "outfit fail"

[xsultrysongstress79x]

@SWISSGLEEK It was the the '90s. That should explain the outfit.

[frakusv2]

It was great for 13 years old but it isn't awesome like the leona we know now. she had a funny way of pronouncing the word heart though.

[honeebun]

@frakusv2 hahahah so true it sounds like she's saying "hot"

[misscockycunt]

I can't believe she had to do X-Factor to get discovered.This girl is pure gold.

[watchinginawe]

@misscockycunt Spot on miss c-c. The British music industry should hang its head in shame at repeatedly failing to pick up this once-in-a-generation talent. That is why she is being snubbed at The Brits, because it is such an embarrassment for them that they couldn't spot a worldwide star being handed to them on a plate. She isn't just the best British artist, she's better than all the rest of them put together. As you say, she is pure gold and this video brings a lump to my throat

[Syrianita]

Her voice is so beautiful:) Very different from today but still wow !

[DominoesTequila]

Just saw this on Perez Hilton. Such a gorgeous voice!!

[jtstar08]

woah! always wanted to see this! thanks shes just amazing even that young

[adamscott1982]

[ShannonGibo]

God I love her so much <3 I was three when this happened haha xx

[steveveveita]

[puppylovesyouandme]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!

[ems1410]

Whoever knew back then she'd become one of the worlds greatest stars? <3

3.45 onwards is EPIC!!!

[ems1410]

Beautiful to watch - even back then she had amazing voice control! :O <3

[No1mjfan88]

@ems1410 same here, brings tears to my eyes when i hear this song cos its from 1 of my fav films, shes amazing. love her.

[caliche992]

WOW that all I can say !

[fang007vp]

Awww i LOVE watching old videos of stars like this, it shows them when they had a dream, and then you look at them now and realise how far they've come :) love her!

[stuberty]

She's 13 here? WOAH!

She's incredible! Worldwide success couldn't have happened to a better person.

[PFD1010101010101]

Awwww, so lovely to see this. She's grown into such an incredible talent.

[chibears0034]

Just incredible. I'm so happy to see how far she has come. She deserves everything she's gotten. She is truly special.

[rebeccajaynee94]

no one stood a chance against her! she is a natural!

omg cant you tell its her! she still dances with her hands and everything.

she has a gorgeous voice and even though this is amazing, especially at the fact that she is only 13, she has come on so much! so proud of her, very touching!

[K93Mall]

Goosebumps!! 

[iJustNani27]

i just say OMG!!!

[revaholic]

This is so touching for a fan to watch...to see her be able to realise her dream in the biggest way possible, doing what she loves to do. Leona is amazing.

[LeonaLewisFanCanada]

awwwwwwwwwwww.... she was talented from a young age...its true practice makes perfect!!!

[chrisobee1]

Wow, it's clear how nervous she was but the talent was clearly there, loved seeing this !

[eoooooon]

This must be the performance she talks about in her book. I think she said her legs turned to jelly.

[No1mjfan88]

@eoooooon awww bless her :) id b terrified 0_0. theres a vid of me singing on my channel if u wanna look :). god i love leona shes just amazing.

[jerespirai]

I'm at a loss for words. Leona is an amazing example of what breathtaking talent God has given some of us. Her voice can heal souls, not even joking. Flawless at just age 13.

[triceybby08]

Wow such a talent frm day

[AlexLeonafan42]

Leona was so talented even all these years ago

[Siaaaaan212]
