Leona Lewis - X Factor - Over The Rainbow

[RachelNo1mjfan88]

@geral096 I couldn't agree more, she's just amazing, yet my stepdad just says " she's alright, she's no diva tho", I said to him " if she's just alright she wouldn't have won ". *sighs* I dunno. But anyway she's amazing in my opinion :), love her very much xD.

[geral096]

she has a wonderfull voice

[jaiga94]

If all the winners of xfactor competed against each other, she would win

[NumericOempa]

at 2:37, when she hits that note, it's like all my emotions are coming up. So beautiful !

[augustsecret]

one word..wow

[RachelNo1mjfan88]

Love her so much, what a voice! She's so amazing and pretty :).

[qrieur]

Emouvant!

[hierophant0209]

This song is dedicated by leona lewis to her lost family member. So she make this song version that so special for someone special. In this song I heard calm,hopes and dreams,struggle. Leona really did a great in this childhood song to a such emotional song.

[hierophant0209]

When I heard this song sing by leona lewis for the very 1st time. I can't really get the idea of the leona version if compare to original Judy Garland. The arrangement is totally difference... But after the very 1st time hearing this song. Now I love to come back again and again to listen this song... and wish this song in album. I agree that this song is a mind blow performance by leona lewis.

[lordusmaximus147]

leonas version is simply awesome,miles better than any other.The pickup and key change is unbelievable on 2;35 :).Right up there with Whitney at her best :)

[hannah3310]

this made me cry!

[mitchdep]

Great interpretation of a great classic! Great X factor winner. Better than the American 2011 x-factor winner.

[CarysHarmeen1]

I can totally understand Liam Payne why she's his celebrity crush - cause she's is my girl crush since 2007;D

[Sarahiglopez]

Amazing!!

[differentandalike]

leona lewis is beautiful and entertaining

[JamieOwen05]

Shayne ward sang this also and did it differently. His version was also just OUTSTANDING. Leona always gives me goosebumps.

[shgfe3ay]

who the fuck is IZ

[Angiie1228]

@shgfe3ay Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole, watch?v=c9KHo9z86rA

[kohakuspirit]

why do people make it sound like IZ was the very original singer of the song? ever heard of Wizard of Oz?

[ADancer94]

she is amazing. best winner on xfactor there has ever been!

[modelsexi]

wow i love leona lewis i have the same eyes as her <3 simply beautiful

[xftuser]

The lady judge sounds squeaky. haha.

[khatman100]

@trumpetzzz Each to his own.

[khatman100]

Here is a different version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - It's closer to the original Judy Garland version and is sung by 17 y/o Charice Pempengco with 16 time grammy winner David Foster on piano.

?v=WxHzuSxPy50

[trumpetzzz]

@khatman100 fuck off with ur charice!!!

[SuperPianogirl123]

that last note was a mess

[doctorgood2007]

PrincessxxScene, look up the singer Eva Cassidy. You may already be aware of her. She died of cancer (way too young) in 1996. I believe Leona's vesrion is based on this interpretation.

I have to say that for me, the version above, sung by Leona Lewis, is one of the best singing performances by any artist, ever. It still brings a tear to my eye!

[AATAMI81]

WOOOOOOW! so good!

[TheSupershooter]

y so many dislikes? cuz it wasn't the original?... doesn't change the fact Leona is the best singer

[PrincessxxScene]

Who's version of Somewere over the rainbow she actually doing ? x

[OOTarek1997OO]

I think the original song is very better and that she could do it better !!!

:-(

[sarahLcthatsme]

WoW :O that stage has certainly changed!

[DGWZsx48]

@dsnfldgfds yes it was

[dsnfldgfds]

this wasnt x factor

[YoungXianTV]

@dsnfldgfds Yes!

[haiholz]

Rest in peace billie x x x x

[DGWZsx48]

She sings with feeling and emotion

[DGWZsx48]

I luv Leona Lewis

[StumptownBoy]

Nice, but not my favorite version. Much prefer Jewel or Eva Cassidy.

[EasyStu007]

emotional overwhoring. dont wanna be disrespectful, leona is a great singer. but the show concept is absolutely disgusitng. the plastc emotion generator for sensation addicts

[LordWorf]

chujnia z grzybnia

[neverreallyknowwhy05]

eva cassidy copy =P <3



[milander007]

disney good but not artist good

[BigAlCavan]

This is a beautiful song. Listen to Louise Florence's version.

[DanielAvilaAGT]

After all she was just an armature here. don't be harsh . But I agree

[Serb1anArchangel]

Totally ruined such a beautifull song with this chorus like singing.....

[Em183]

1843 dislikes?!?!?!?! what the freaking hell! There are some soulless people on this damn earth :( :( :O

[OfficialMelodyMusic]

PLEASE COMMENT MY COVER ( RUN ) <3

[lotzsplotz]

she's a good singer but she does this thing which most decent singers do which is instead of trying to convey the emotion of a song in a subtle more effective way they just belt it out. It really ruins the meaning of the song I think

[9578755]

omg this is just bad, really bad singing. Whats worse I cant feel her putting the soul into her singing & bad lyrics on top of , it makes me sad that she fuked up so beautiful song, she should go to her room & do more practicing.!

[conquynho]

beautiful voice, but wait, what is the name of the song she is covering again? i dont recognise any part of it

[JackMartha4ever]

@conquynho somewhere over the rainbow!!



[Anny160806]

she changed it much...

[OfficialMelodyMusic]

PLEASE COMMENT MY COVER ( RUN )

[geminibon1]

That was just beautiful.What a lovely tribute. We all know the songs singer JUDY GARLAND of Somewhere Over The Rainbow But i do agree IZ there both in Heaven now and iam so sure she Loves his version.I cant compair a better version of this song he has to b the BEST i feel when he sings this song hes singing throught his ♥ i love all of his music may he and all the other singing angels R,I,P,,,,

[ycees89]

ok, first of all this is not american anthem, nor titanic song, tragedy, one huge huge tragedy, it's more of showing off, look at me, I'm soooo good singer :/ very big disappointment :/

[salemaca]

It's like a totally different song 

[fuckingthepussyholes]

All the other contestents who heard this back stage must have been ordering taxi's and saying "might as well go home as there is no point in competing with someone THAT talented"

[fuckingthepussyholes]

Leona Lewis was the best singer to come out of any of the XFactors. This is just so incredible :D

[Sithrocker1]

Incredible!!

[asitahowa]

Shitty version...

[xEmilyRose09x]

Who the fuck is IZ.

[aaRept]

@xEmilyRose09x /watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I His version is really popular.

[AP776]

@xEmilyRose09x israel kamakawiwo'ole was a american singer from hawai in germany 2010 he 12 weeks number 1 of the charts!

[TheSamma1801]

hmm..

[tangotel1949]

Every time Sheena hears this song she burts into tears.

[JerryChew10]

You can never compare Leona & IZ. I think it is a mistake to even think of making a comparison between them cause, they are talented in their own way.

It'll be too boring if Leona sang IZ's version and it is impossible for IZ to sing her version as well. They are both awesome artists, talented and special in their own way..

[SamuraiXero1]

@JerryChew10 I have to say, I quite agree with that remark. They each had their own sounds, but I have to say I much prefer IZ's version compared to Leona. Although that is just personal preference.

[JerryChew10]

@SamuraiXero1 i'd prefer IZ's version too...

[fyrstikknerd]

NOTHING* lol. Iphone mistake..

[fyrstikknerd]

When you say that IZ sings it better than Leona Lewis, you show that you know absolutely NOTHONG about music. It's a COMPLETELY different version of the song. It could just as well have been another song with the same lyrics. Please, just dont compare the two. When that is said, this is a mindblowing performence. It was not only spot on!, but she controls her voice like a god. I also think IZs version is great, just to have that being said.

[ministardu93]

I don't like her

[IanJD71]

@ministardu93

Yer just fuk of lmao

[debesting1]

I know when music moves me, and this does. Awesome.... She takes it to another level. I've heard many versions of this and she def. takes it over the rainbow.

[lutteursuisse]

just IZ can sing over the rainbow

[1510Ronald]

bad, bad, bad

[1510Ronald]

She cannot sing this song. This song is not for her!

[Rusak2304]

omg really bad thats so bad omg :(

[swamidude]

I'm not saying that she can't sing and I like her songs, but this song is just way better when IZ sings it... I'm not hating or anything, but I just like it more, he just gives it so much meaning and the song is so perfect when he sings it, don't think anybody could make a better version of it :p

[TheBuble5051]

when the X-Factor had talent..

[summer21star]

The next mariah carey

[DietHunks]

so much heart in this song.. its very touching..

[skyski365]

I cant BELIEVE there even is a DISLIKE BAR!!!!!!!

[85lumiere]

Fantastic talent!!!

[209watchout]

this girl can SANG' her ass off

[elmoforu0]

Dear Haters:

Look at your penis and compare it to the size of the dislike bar

Not much of a difference huh?

[MistaTwenty]

@elmoforu0 Nice, reject, that makes you NO better than the dislikes. Tool.

[elmoforu0]

@MistaTwenty Your right...i do have a tool...and it's called my penis..i dont think you would know much about it...but i dont feel like giving a lesson to a five year old.

[MistaTwenty]

@elmoforu0 You call me a 5 year old and speak of penis' and you have cartoons/anime as a display picture. Not only that you will always reduce yourself to petty insults. ELMO-FOR-U...yea you tell me all about your baby-dick you sick little perv. All you need now is a picture of a van and you giving away "free" candy. Get out you dumb little runt and go play in a chat room.

[elmoforu0]

@MistaTwenty First of all...i dont care, my meats Big..and second of all...i already have a Van that says that...idiot.

[babuska80]

@elmoforu0 Pahahahahaa well done! pmsl...

[k33fyk]

[BalticXY]

[Daniel0889]

[issgoth2]

@groves777 pues te jodes =D

[ThaiBoxer111190]

i dont like this song in her signing... iz - the best respect from Khazakhstan)))

[SuperChipper123]

I like Leona Lewis but I dnt like this

[chaser20boy]

sucks

[shakajah21]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I don't think there will ever be another singer on the X Factor that will be able to sing like that.

[dudu007801]

fuck



[Jamaalq7]

iLove this rendition of the song...it was softer more emotionally attached version of the song....it allowed u 2 listen 2 the words and feel them at the sametime....#Perfection

[teposu01]

this kinda sucks. the original is the best

[SoHoMoJaZzI]

@PurpleMajesties OMG, I just cried! Im so sorry and stay strong!

[ThEEvEndEr]

wow ..



[Meteddica]

Expect more of this tomorrow night. Janet Devlin's grandad has died, so sob story ahoy!

[Ngairangi]

i like the fact that she took the song (like mrs Ozbourne said) and made it her own... and to pull it off, man thats mad skill... in front of the hole entire nation... entire world to be exact.... plus she fuckin smexy too hehe :P like if ur diggin it

[CookieMonserRules]

Amazing

[Micharvoli9]

Iz was way better ..

[essiccf37]

@Micharvoli9 lol I prefer as well Iz interpretation but you are clearly wrong to compare the two and if you do, that woman is waaaaAAAAAAAaaaaay much more skilled

[chocolatekara]

mmmmmmmmm...... I listened to this after listening to Judy Garland and it's kinda poo compared to the original. The original is not a power ballad... this feels like it is trying to be one

[SHAZTUKE]

@chocolatekara ppl do different versions of songs leonas version is eva cassidy which was a power ballad unlike the original judy garland version

[rkm711]

That last note? 12 seconds. Awesome.

[RandomJonas2011]

Leona lewis is bad..

[BORJAVO]

Love it!!!

[viga1989]

its like a christmas voice..

[pogah1985]

lol i love the experts that come on here and diss her!

[feyenoordolf]

what a slow song.

i am gonna press on dislike with this one.

[berrygurl101]

I FEEL BAD 4 HER.. :(

[DaleMaloneMusic]

@berrygurl101 why?

[dsnfldgfds]

Where did they lose her? If they can remember where they last saw her thats probably where the 'lost' her

[jordanne20jalon]

the real version... leona find it ,leona took it,,, its not simple to reveive like leona lewis revived this song....amazing..... most i heard a version is not like this that extract the meaning of the tittle....She immortalize this song..aamazing..............

[Headake27]

Bradda IZ sang it way way better

[skii6868]

Best thing zi read all day. God bless you!

[Extremer98]

wow! OMG! The best voice in world!!!

[camilagay]

i like leona and also i like this song, but this not for her

[katie89065]

very talented young lady 

[jujuivon]

good, her vibrato is annoying though,

[canberl]

ist ja grauenhaftz

wie kann man nur solch einen schönen song nur so derart ändern , aber ne coole stimme hat sie :D

[Rhythmix323]

First time i seen Simon stand up after a performance

[EvergreenRNB]

Simon Cowell is an amazing guy,a person that absolutely knows what he's doing and wanting,very truthful and honest about his opinion,very sensitive to talent.Its hard to admitt but he is always right!. God bless him.

[dazhatz]

What an amazing live performance! .. if you disliked this then you really need to fuck off and go back to listening to your ten thumbed , tone deaf , talentless noise polluters that you stupidly consider to be good artists.

Oh and get yourselves an ear transplant you daft cunts. Yours dont work.

[mrsa108]

ffs cakkola manners mate 

[cakkola]

SHE IS BLACK MEGAN GALE

[MrShadowIntel]

She did a nice job of Eva Cassidy's rendition. Too bad Leona didnt give Eva any of the credit for this version ;)

[CT2507]

crap.. too much screaming, too much strange coloration and and too much vibrato.

[LenaDieStehlampe]

Wie heißt das Lied, von dem die Melodie am Anfang ist?

[funeguy2]

REALLY???EVERYONE SINGS SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW AND i,VE SEEN IT SANG SO MUCH BETTER BY MUCH BETTER SINGERS

[qqvids]

people love this song in my country 

[eloisesdad1]

I remember watching this with my wife and w both thought she had a huge future......we were both wrong because there is no music industry left for her to work in.......all thats left is a image industry..

[eloisesdad1]

I remember watching this with my wife and w both thought she had a huge future......we were both wrong because there is no music industry left for her to work in.......all thats left is a imagine industry..

[2010kalex]

I think she did a beautiful job

[thanboom]

This is awful! Listen to IZ's version. That's how it should be sung. This is completely over done!

[toyamac]

@thanboom Listen to Judy Garland...

[thanboom]

@toyamac Yeah, the original. Yet sacrilegiously I prefer IZ's version :) The above however is an overkill to say the least!

[TheMercyFlush]

Not trying to be insensitive but has anyone else noticed that everyone that goes onto these shows like x-factor or idol seem to have a melancholy past? Is it a requirement to get in or something?

[666mimas]

SUXXXX - TO THE KITCHEN !!!! Leave singing -.-

[shittit667]

she fucked up the whole song

[TheOtakuWayofLife]

i personaly dont like the way she sings it but thats just my opinion

its too slow boring

[38kenaly]

Beautiful (: -3

[Kuchenmampfer]

I dont like the way she sings it <.<

[tigirisi]

but her eyes are really beautiful... 1 leona into every household!!!!!!!!!!

superbitch...

[tigirisi]

A killed song...

[hierophant0209]

her eyes is beautiful

[geshoow1288]

Leona does justice to Eva Cassidy's arrangement of Over the Rainbow

[mangochuckny]

aww brilliant <3

[teentechnicolor]

Wow!

[MajorAaron]

stopsinging it it's not yours stop post it its only IZ song STOPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!

[Kizillia]

@MajorAaron It's Judy Garland's song, actually.

[PurpleMajesties]

I sang this song to my baby before she was born, during her short life & as I held her after life left her body. I played it at her funeral as well. The song's meaning for me and my family is simply: My baby is now up there where there's no pain, no troubles, just beautiful open sky where she's free to be ANYTHING SHE WANTS TO BE. No one, no doctors - telling her what she will or will not be able to do, because up THERE she's healthy & completely able to live life ANY WAY HER SOUL so chooses.

[dushiiist]

@PurpleMajesties :{ I know that pain,but somewhere over the rainbow.............

[Watchamacalitful]

@PurpleMajesties Lawl, live life anyway her soul chooses. But she's dead. :D

[rymndry]

@PurpleMajesties wow im so sorry for your loss i wish you good luck in life and may god bless you and your family

[BethsabeeBeya]

@PurpleMajesties When I read your comment, I was crying. I'm so sorry for you... <3

[topsupp]

@PurpleMajesties You mean eternity of nothing like what you "experience" before you're born?

[chuckyblack18]

@PurpleMajesties sad, when people put this stuff just to get top comment.. if its real its nice but you dont need to be posting it on a youtube video just to get a top comment
