Leona Lewis - American TV Appearance

[nastykurtbadboy]

These issues 'british accent', 'london show'...just to show to the whole world, even the smartest so-called americans such as Oprah is actually poor in geography. Lol

[xomeganmassacrexo]

i love the wya he's like. "i never expected a singer liek this in the UK - what rae we, jus completely tone deaf fools. :L i find his remark rather offensive.

[xNatalie24x]

N I luv how she sounds so surprised that it's not American idol. How irritating!!!

[xNatalie24x]

Yeh I'm Scottish too. Americans seem to say Britain wen they should say england and england wen they should say britain. Like a british accent. There is no such thing!!!

[RedcoatT]

"Like a british accent. There is no such thing!!! "

Actually, there are dozens of British accents, any of the accents found within the UK is a British accent.

[xNatalie24x]

@RedcoatT

Actually there is four countries in the UK and all of the accent sound very different. So there isnt a British accent, there is an English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh. They are sound very diiferent and someone doing an English accent is not doing a British. If someone was doing a Scottish acccent it wouldnt be a British.

[RedcoatT]

@xNatalie24x

You are correct in that there is no single 'British' accent, but all the accents that occur with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are classed as British. Its similar to the USA where there are also numerous different accents, but all are classed as American accents ;)

[OTHsmallvillefan]

i think she said london show because leona is from london etc etc ....

[thumbalinaaaax]

hate that ..

not only is it "the english show"

but its

"the london show"

im scottish and stuff like that really piss me off!

[pidgeblev]

@thumbalinaaaax ME TOO. THEY USUAL REFER TO US ALL AS BRITISH, WHICH I LIKE

[mrb900]

Go Leona!

She Amazinggg! :)

[7TheMusician7]

"Certainly in the uk"

always good to know Simon believes in the british public lol.

[georgeou]

I think Simon means from a relatively small country like the UK.

[numba1danman]

i like how oprah thinks she knows everything and is like ' that was x factor the london show' its like know oprah is american idol LA idol?

i hate how americans only think of london, but i do have to blame the bbc and period pieces which constantly seem to be set in london or with a london accenty.maybe some diversification wiv british films ie the full monty earned $230 million and that wasnt in london, but notting hill, love actually, and other films are all set there!

ps sorry 4 the rant!

[burntsoup]

That annoyed me to. She wasn't just semi ignorant to refer to Britain as England only, but got even worse narrowing it down to a single city. Wow.

[PaddyCow26]

Tbf it's a common mistake to make, just like refering to the US as "America" is ignorant. The US (if ya wanna be anal about it) is actually Central America but I bet you don't call it that :P

[pidgeblev]

@PaddyCow26 ur chattin shite - England wales scotland and n ireland as 4 countries. UK/Britain) US american is one

[PaddyCow26]

Chill out. What I said was right. The USA is the recognised United States of America but America is not a recognised country. There is a contenient where there is a North America, Central America and South America but "America" doesn't exsist, only in Western vocalulary. I can understand why some posters are pissed when Britian is represented by London or England, when this is not the case and that's the point I was making. Your point makes no sense at all.

[marzika76]

Dear numba1danman, I'm surprised u're still surprised. you should know how they think, they have stereotipics. And you're still lucky, I'm italian, just think on our stereotipic: Pizza, Mafia and 'O Sole Mio'

eheheh

:)

[furbalzz]

i hate how he licks americas ass

[donna1175]

Oh she went on Oprah!!! You get Oprah to like anything, a song you sing, a book you wrote, anything.... you got it made :)

[bigboygay]

wow

[JuicyJod94]

Leona Lewis Makes me proud to be Bristish =)

Love her, she is so genuine and ii love her as a singer too. GO LEONA...Make Britain Proud !!! x

[UTuberSandwich]

what I love about Leona is that she is bringing back the artist to where they belong SINGING LIVE and performing LIVE. I'M SO tired of the lip sync phenomena in the states even when we know the artist can sing they still do it. its like da hell are we americans doing? Corrine Bailey rae spends a lot of time singing live too! I love this!!!

[windheavenX]

that voice is freaky...its so dam amazing

[crazypianolady]

'x factor, the london show' haha

[Ellerocko]

aw man this girl is amazing she is going to be hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuge!!!!

listen to her new track, run

[seaflower8]

Wow she is incredible!!!!

[tinymiles]

oh my god that voice is amazing

[jordandavis92]

Thats hardly being ignorant fizz131

:/

It was probably just a mistake

Exagerated.

[blueghostohio]

whay does people trash such a lovely woman and the worlds best singer. she is awasom out of this world in al things ,she is sweet ,kind ,lovely ,sing like a angel. she wil get all the american awards this years at least 8 of them ,she should get every one of them. my GOD bless her all the days of her life watch over her jesues christ made her perfect .

[fizz131]

She sez X-Factor the London show? Its the UK show. Ignorant yanks!

[fizz131]

Ah so u r an ignorant yank. Wots gonna happen now fool?

[kalvsuzi]

She has always had a certain class about her from day 1 on itv. She has has obviously got class managment around her as well. good lass she'll do well.

[PianoMelodies]

A beautiful full womens voice.

[SpursLover53]

blew me away

[thatshotodots]

wow can't believe that's like a year ago

[makingthebandboy]

Leona is incredible, Love her

[xkimxwilliamsx]

They used X Factor clips :)

[Smuggler1987]

a female whiny singer that's breaking records in America, the UK, and the WORLD

[maz9914]

jealousy a bad thing u might a a whiny voice

but leano defo doesn't

[Socrgrl873]

can u speak english? that made no sense at all

[maz9914]

well every1 else gets it but then again every1 else has a BRAIN

[helenarocksyoursoks]

"the london show" love it!!!!!!

[rlsmiller]

Leona will be on Oprah Monday 17th of March! Look out for her! :)

[Smuggler1987]

your right she doesn't compare to Christina vocally, cuz unlike Christina she doesnt scream most of the time..she sings the high notes effortlessly...instead of singing like an angry woman

[lovekate111]

christina has been in this singing career not 4 a very long time.n that is how u put more feelings in u'r music. u should listen againg and see that feelings inside of her

[Smuggler1987]

I don't doubt Christina is a good singer..i just think Leona is the better singer..Christina sounds angry most of the time

[Ellerocko]

check this out, leona live flawless and this song is going to be huge all over the world its very moving the emotion......

[alowaaaaa]

Chritnia hasnt been in the industry for long? Are you kidding me?

what a joke, il a genie in a bottle is like brits first single

[luvbeth]

where is the rest of this programme

[37sb]

is this as long as they talk about her for? is ther not a longer clip? coz it lukd like oprah was going on 2 talk about her some more

[AikenMoennig]

She's more broadway than she is popular music and she doesn't compare at all to Christina Aguilera vocally. Her rendition of Summertime is terrible.

[watchinginawe]

AikenMoennig, ridiculous comments. You have to be taking drugs.

[stueyboibaby]

the london show? does anyone know london isnt a country.. its the UK show.. england, ireland, scotland and wales.. London being in England.. there ya go! its like simon cowell sayin.. hey opera that was a clip from american idol the L.A show!

[S0UTHP4RK2K8]

yeah she means its set in london

[victorman07]

whity take a seat as lovely singer that you

[nessersqt]

haha hes quick to add.. "from this country"

[bleedinglove786]

omg totally agree wiv simon. leona is amazing!!! simon is full on sexy xxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[laurensneakysmile]

oh my gosh

even Oprah's "wow" is fake. Can't stand her!

[Jaybee050490]

yawn... america will love her and listen to her for years to come. Oprah makes it her job to reveal the best new talent to america; esmee denters for one... so your wrong!... and even if america doesn't like her she is already huge across the globe.. 1 is the only number she is associated with nowadays.. oh and your train is due.. you should get under it.

[laurensneakysmile]

You are SUCH a dumbass!

I happen to be a huge Leona Lewis, I have her album and love every song on it. My first comment was about Oprah and how i think Oprah is fake. So how about next time you know what other people are saying before you go on a massive rant. There... got it?

[Jaybee050490]

oh right! lol..i am a dumbass! i seriously thought you meant that oprah was being fake cos she thought leona was crap! you can see how i thought that.. i mean your comment has been minused loadsa times too... so i'm not the only one who thought that! sorry.. lol!

[laurensneakysmile]

It's fine...I forgive

I think you're right, i think alot of people have thought i was talking bad bout Leona.

All the best.

[butlerny]

@Jaybee050490 Leona is a huge star Globally...America thinks its the whole world because some of you havent even been out of it sorry but the US is not the best at everything...other countries can produce stars too and leona IS a star

sorry to offend any US fans but you seem to like GAAgAA and deserted leona your Loss and to those US STILL fans thankyou

[TheSupershooter]

@butlerny im from the US its not leona's fault or her US fans that her 2nd album didnt do as well as spirit. i blame her management team, "happy" was a very good single but shouldnt have been the lead. either "cant breathe or alive" with a music video or airplay would have destroyed tiktok and california gurlz cuz happy peaked on 33 here in the US and i honestly think the other 2 songs are better. hopefully they dont screw up on her 3rd album and remember they only released 1 song which is dumb

[alowaaaaa]

ill second that, i love leona but that woman sounded effin fake ^^

[laurensneakysmile]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mwa xoxo

[somethingkindaooh]

the ''london'' show.

what a mong

[McDtNg4eva]

The note that starts at :36 is awful. Pure screeching. Ugh.

[jojo199111]

It doesn't matter what you think..... because the screeching as you call it's what's making her rich.

[danokkkrock]

Screeching! Yeah, and I suppose Mariah Carey is screeching? And Whitney Houston? Hitting high notes is part of singing, you jackass! And right now, whether you like it or not, Leona Lewis is the best singer in the fucking world! The girl is awesome. Just look at Winfrey's expression after the clip is over. Or hear the applause from the crowd. Dumbass!

[starpeem]

very well said!!!! VERY WELL SAID!!! i sooooo agree!

[kauikastyles]

oh standing ovation for your comment bloody brilliantly said

[danokkkrock]

Thank you. I just hate it when people who don't have a clue about music come in and criticise this wonderful girl. I may be Irish, but music isn't about nationality. It's about soul. And Leona sings from her soul. I am very proud of what she has accomplished not only for Britain but for the entire United Kingdom. She is putting the UK back on the map, and long may it continue, because there are no words that can describe how amazing she really is.

[alowaaaaa]

I LOVE LEONA

But opras wow was fake.. BIG TIME , and that last note was screechy^^ true i absolutely love her and all her performances but it is screeching + high note.. on the begining of da note its off then she puts it back on!

Wver kudos leona + kelly!

[MichaelinDenmark]

You may change your mind when Leona Lewis will conguer America. Think back at what you said EVERY SINGLE TIME Leona receives an award in America :o)))

[oliviax1x2x3]

kh9234

London is not full of drugs and crime...

Dont be so stereotypical, its a big place and unfortunately all big places have bad and violent areas, but if you were so ignorant you'd realise thats its a genuinely good place!

Oh and leona was great!

[XOhSoDizzeeX]

So fucking sad!! Get over yourselves!! Ignorant people like you are what makes the world such a fucking horrible place to live in assholes!! Love Leona!!! What an amazing voice!!!

[LennaIsMyAngel]

leona lewis is here to stay...u just can`t overlook her talent.

[iamtresangry1234]

hey i saw steve in wimbledon's tesco's the over day hes doing quite good he and his band are doing gigs in the underground scene here in london he had a noice smile on his face loool:P

[americanidolfan5]

Okay, let's just stop fighting yall.....I'm American, but I think Leona is great.

[kh9234]

i dont care about leona she will be forgotten about soon.just like steve what has happend to him

[sfboy987]

i can't wait to see leona lewis on oprah, which i think will happen very soon

[kh9234]

london has lots of drugs and crime

[sfboy987]

really? how dangerous would you say it is

[wompier]

i love the sarcasm

[CheeckyCheska]

kh9234 your right but America's worse <33

What's drugs and crime got to with anything?

[londongaylad]

only cos of the black gangs in the surburbs, it is becoming horrible.

[katsothermsn]

London no kidding is beautiful It really is one of the best places in the world and if you havent been you really ought to.

[thatshot888]

As you can see Oprah is loving LEONA LEWIS!!!

[beyonceknowlesmusic]

i did i want her to win but umbrella is catching up really quickly

[fiercelou]

where's the rest of the video?? its cut off half on the best bit..

[sexysamantha756]

''London is the only good place in Britian''

Pffft, well, i'm welsh and we may not have produced that many singers but when we do the quality of their voices are head and shoulders above nearly anyone.. eg. Katherine jenkins (most beautiful voice EVER).. and even talking reality winners like leona we have Paul Potts (next paverotti) and rhydian (winner to be of x-factor) ;-)

[xXmichaela1Xx]

Hey don't forget Scotland.! We have Rod Stewart, LuLu, The Proclaimers.! To name a few.!

[sexysamantha756]

Ok, i give you Rod Stewart, but the proclaimers are rubbish lol!

Compared to peaople like Shirley Bassey anyway (i SWEAR i just picked that name out of thin air, and oh guess what, she just so happens to be welsh ;0) lol )

[xXmichaela1Xx]

No they aren't..! :P! They have had a number 1 ere and in australia, Iceland, and most of Europe.! So although they may not be to your taste they aren't rubbish otherwise they wouldn't have as much money as they do..!

[ekuljohnelbon]

" The London Show " pmsl ! LEONA ROCKS !

[kazb25]

lol simon looks really funny at the begining

[dawnhol]

The song in the clip is summertime! if you type in leona lewis summertime u can listen to the whole lot x

[mesmerizex]

can somehbody tell me the title of the song she just sung in this video? tnx..

[023scrubs]

It's called Summertime.

[frazierform]

leona's gonna be huge in america

[19Braddy93]

I know, I really hope so.

[atm77wat]

im from america and its tru shes way betta then ne 1 in America she amazing

[frazierform]

what is the buzz round america like over leona

[19Braddy93]

Shes great!

[Chazbadboi]

I live London and it is the only good place in britain. Lol i hope i get 10 thumbs down. Anyway Simon Cowell is spending so much time on Leona because shes better then any American idol contest not because shes british. Hes a buisness man.

[BarbarossaBrothers2]

london is the best

[BGrade15]

London isn't the only good place in Britain, you're very wrong. I'm from Leeds - what's the matter with that? We produced the Kasier Chiefs (who I can't stick but that's another issue lol). Anyway, Leeds is a great place..! Londoners can be so arrogant sometimes phsshhhhtt. Anyway, Leona is probably the best singer we have in the UK full stop and she wipes the smug grins off all the yanks who say she'll never get anywhere.

[LeonaRulez]

and she comes from london :P

[BGrade15]

Yeah well lol regardless of where she comes from, London ain't the only good place in the UK!

[Hanzy123]

ye man !! im from Leeds, Leeds Rocks !!!

[yungclamp]

init

[jadegreenall]

'London is the only good place in England' guess you've never been outside of London then. I'm from Durham (northern England) & have lived all over the world including London, New York, Paris & Amsterdam so I guess that qualifies me to say that you are very wrong! The UK is truely an amazing place and the further away from London you get the nicer people are. Northern England is particulary beautiful and is home to many castles with a rich history. Narrow minded people really annoy me!

[xXmichaela1Xx]

I have to agree.! Am from the northest place in Britain and we are ALOT more friendly than London..! :P!

[BigArris73]

I'll go with that - love from the West Country (that'll confuse 'em!) ;0)

[flicky009]

Simon Marshall, why dont you go and fuck yourself up the arse hole! Wales is a great country and still a part of the united kingdom! People like you are a disgrace to the british nation, all you english think its a priviledge to be from england, well let me tell you, england is a dirty stinking hole and britain would be a better place without all you narrowminded big headed english twats! FUCK YOU, YOU COCK SUCKING CUNT!

[LeonaRulez]

and you can stop too..pshh dont let fuckwits get to you..I'm from England, and I like wales..we're not all like him.

[PuffyAmiYumi]

What do you mean all you english?! what a fucking stereotype! You don't like it when people say things about wales in a stereotypical way, what makes you think it's not the same here?!

[PeaceLoveEtc]

i just cant take simon seriously anymore...hes such a sell out.

i mean he might as well be american if not for his accent, he just seems so fake.

[LeonaRulez]

Simon has more of a love for his own country, the difference being the way he behaves towards people on American Idol compared with X-Factor.

Leona is British and she's the only contest from this kind of show that he has invested so much time and effort in.

he's very proud to be British

[Ashtray88]

then why did he say "i never expected to see that kind of talent ESPECIALLY in the UK." Why would you think that americans are more talented? They could be someone with Leona's voice in ethiopia for all we know.

[Calum2k12]

Bloody Americans think that the only place in britain is london.. oooh london!

What about Glasgow,Newcastle.Edinburgh,Li­verpool,

Manchester?

Thats why its called Great Britain,UK Whtever because were all a country not just fucking london!

Get a fuckin life americans!!!!

[0AlexMac0]

What about Cardiff?? because thats in the UK as well not just England and Scotland, theres Wales to!

[simonsgurl]

Calm down dude.

[simonmarshall1]

Wales isnt a country..its just one of those annoying dirty spots on the landscape

[LeonaRulez]

omg stop with the nation bashing

[auto98]

Technically he is correct - Wales is a principality, not a country

[Hanzy123]

and Leeds ...

[aidious]

Leona on Oprah. Simon's done good. She still earns more than you though Si :p

[BisonOnline88]

nope..

[aidious]

Nope?

[farhannius]

leona owned every1

[beyonce4eva]

her albums called spirit!!

[rowingsophie]

yeah she auditioned in london. she was on x-factor which is why they said a london show instead of pop idol which we dont have over here anymore. she won last years' competition. great singer!

[chablis60]

Hi, yes she auditioned in London, but X Factor is for all of the UK..Leona is definitely the best that has ever come out of any of these shows..what a star!!

[Cutchswife]

Leona is set to release her brand new single, 'Bleeding Love' on 29th October. The track was written by Ryan Tedder and was recorded while Leona was out in LA. Ryan has also written for pop superstars Jennifer Lopez and Lil' Jon.

Leona's as yet untitled album will be released on the 5th November in the UK and early 2008 in the US.

[Wendy1414]

Wat the Fuk? The London show? It is BRITISH.! London is a city in BRITAIN.! Ugh that sort of thing annoys me.!

[Jiggalo4]

I like totally know where your coming from !!

[Wendy1414]

Thank U.!

[xsmileformex]

YEAH! Why say "The London Show" ? =\ is it even filmed in London? Shall we call American Idol "The New York show" even if its filmed in Washington or something? lol Americans are such prats.

[Wendy1414]

They can be, more just ignorant of british geography.! LOL!

[americanidolfan5]

for one...american idol is filmed in L.A.

and she said "the x factor",she just said the London show to describe it, saying how its like american idol in london.

[LeonaRulez]

I think she saidd London show becase simon is sitting in front of Big Ben etc which is a famous land mark in London..I think thats the only reason she said it. And it is filmed in London too (I think)

[SparkleLobster]

Didn't Leona audition in London? So maybe that's why they referenced London!

[jericksarmiento]

she is the best of the bestttt!!!! i love you leaona!!! pls make her come here in italy pls pls pls pls!!!

[princesscandy89]

yea i jus looked it up and they said she was to appera on the opening night what was the 2 hour extra special but she didnt so i think it might of been made up but she will do somethin big like that to introduce herself to da world

[julesman]

Any confirmation yet that she is to appear at the semi-final stage of AmIdol this year?

[LeonaRulez]

nope not yet. There has been a news report a while back from Simon, I think it was a tabloid Newspaper report though so its not 100% trust worthy

[princesscandy89]

OMG THAT wud be soo cool!!

[Leonalewisisgod]

Woaaaaaah, Thanks For Posting!

[postmanpat6]

Thanks for posting this. For Leona to be on Oprah is great for publicising her, especially in the US.

Simon is right, she is one of the best singers of her generation

[erront55]

Wow, I really loved this when it was first shown.

[RockNow20]

OMG she's actually even more amazing than I thought...just incredible! WOW.

You know, I never tire of hearing her rendition of Summertime.
