For me I find this unmistakably better than Katharine.
But then I see so many people prefer her so I guess it shows how people's opinions differ.. Also again they're just opinions so bare in mind what you see as 'better' might not be what other people see as. So don't attack them for it. ;D
I agree! Leona's performance of this was MUCH better then Catherine. Leona is also a much better overall singer that Katharine. This is evidenced by the fruit of each performer after the got off the show. Leona has a much better career and is internationally more renowed than Katharine. Don't get me wrong Katherine is a very good singer, though. I don't want to subtract from her greatness. But I feel Leona was better.
imho, katharine's version is better than leona's. from the song's arrangement to katharine's vocals were just superb. not to mention katharine's over all performance, she connected with the audience and felt the song.
you cant compare katherine and leona cause they have diferent version of the songs, and they have different voice types, so they r both great. we all have different opinions sooo leave them alone
Definitely superior to McPhee's. But slightly inferior to Tamira Gray's. Leona's version is borrowed from Gray, even the key of the song. Simon Cowell gave Gray a standing ovation for this.
How dare she rip off Eva Cassidy's exquisite version of this song and palm it off as her own! And when she said you made it your own, she should have said. You can see the look on her face- She knows it wasn't hers but she wanted the accolade! How dare she!!! I hate performers who do that. Selfishness of the highest degree. She knows.
You're entitled to your opinion; but, Leona is also entitled to interpret the song however she pleases...and you have to admit, she has some voice.....
Excuse me? She's not 'ripping it off', she's singing it as she wants in a way that suits her voice more, which is better than trying to turn into a clone of the previous artist. She hasn't even released this or even SAID that it was her own version.
OMG shayne ward is an absolute justin wannaba HAHAHA i cant belive you said his version is better, that is pathetic, you are probably his mam anyway!!
totally agree!!! whoever thinks shayne ward is better than leona must have their head stuck up their arse!!! i don't know who in the hell they've been listening to!
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the land that I heard of Once, once in a lullaby Well some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles they melt like lemon drops Away upon the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream They really do come true If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I?
She's actually great... (although I prefer Katharine more ^_^;)But this is just too long and make it boring... but tat's me... I don't say she's not good, she great! But well, um...
I can see where ernest is coming from she is very over rated cos she isnt the best singer ever although she is fantastically talented i just guess its not everyones taste, i wish shed use her voice more often cos she is phenominal
whats amazes me about leona is her control over her vibrato...she goes faster when necessary, but like here, as the song began it was really slow- that one sign of a remarkable voice
Eva sang it with faster much softer and colourful vibrato in the original. the slow vibrato at the beginning adds NOTHING to the song for me. in fact i think its rubbish. and if that was "the best performance he's ever seen" (quote from cowell) that says it all about the crap he usually see's!

Just listened to the Eva Cassidy version and it remains the best but Leona is fantastic - she isnt EVA Mariah or Whitney she is herself and thank goodness for this show it is frightening to think she may never have been discovered she will be huge whatever she sings and I think she will prove she can sing anything - go girl
