  • perfect!

  • this song needs a very powerful voice , i like it tho and i love Leona ..but young christina did it for me

  • this song requires a bold voice, not this whispery strange type delivery..esp on the verses. There really isnt anyone like Whitney

  • @Retrodaydream only whitney could sing this song! see whitney's best!

    watch?v=o5DPxTfTpek&feature=re­lated

  • One of my favorite clips of all time..... So well done :-)

  • woooooooooooow her voice is soo amazing :D

  • i really love her voice. It's so high. But her voice is not that powerful. i want her to practice "And i am telling you" because that song needs a powerful voice and she can practice it. i know she can improve her charming voice and make it more powerful than ever. I AM NOT A HATER BUT A LIKER. Thumbs up people if you agree agree. :)

  • EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME SHE SINGS i get goosebumps

  • best cover in the world

    

  • definately like her better singing whitney :)

  • nice

  • Amazing...just amazing!!!

  • Amazing....just amazing!!!

  • the way she sung the "dont make me CLOSE" bothers me.

  • she is so pretty and doesnt look like a slut.

  • I swear it's the best I ever heard in a casting show !

  • The only one i have heard to equal Whitney

  • she is sooo pretty nd has a very pretty voice

  • 1:11 =/

  • SHE' S DEFINIDELY DA BEST !! rock yah.....Cacauzinha22 her vibrato kick your ass of your chair ..

  • almost comparable to whitney houstan. She stands on her own with her style.

  • unbeschreiblich ♥__♥

  • 2:35 is amazing!!

  • Im in Love with Heer (L).(L)

  • awesome singer, like the whole lot. and very very pretty.

  • She is guuuuuuuuuud. Any hater????? go sleep somewhere.

  • yeahh me neither. it's too...long? idk how to describe it.

  • Same as any other ..

  • when will we see something like her in Germany? our shows are good too but our "winners" aren't that great and amazingly like Leona, Alexandra Burke, Jording Sparks, ... in Germany the "beautiful" and "cute" guys always win -.-* WHERE ARE THE STRONG AND POWERFUL GIRLS AND WOMEN???

  • I'm sorry but...LOL

  • We never heard about her here in the USA when she was all of a sudden on the news shows etc, not like we did Susan Boyle, that's why no one here knew who she was and we had to check out videos before a CD was out

  • I dunno why you recieved a negative 3 for. Happen to be in aggreement with bd9598 about not knowing, let alone hearing her being played on ANY FM radio; However. MTV did air a music video of her... and did view her singing backup for Lil Wayne on MTV awards either 2007 or 2008. Susan Boyle did receive more notoreity than Leona Lewis, Lewis whose considered a strong contender to be the NEXT Icon, like Mariah Carey in hitting those high notes or Octaves...

  • Why negative? I'm telling you how it was for us here in the USA, no one had ever heard of her and to see her on all of these shows all of a sudden and not knowing who she was, we had to look her up. That is no reflection on her as a singer!

  • wow . . . . . . I'm . . . wow . . . . . . .

  • i like this more than the original i wish she could of done the full version

    beaurliful just bellissima!

  • Leona Lewis. Absoulutly amazing!

  • die frau hat einfach eine bombäääääääään stimme das kann keiner knacken ich liebe idese frau

  • just for information it´s a good answer^^

    nothing bad she said that leona is great^^

  • You and a show ... go straight ahead with his talent and humility ...

  • whitney has more soul and depth but leona is great too go ahead girl!!

  • simply beautiful..sigh

  • i like both version there noth different come on leona has a strong voice like omq

  • WOW!

  • Leona did not do the first part well but when she hit the high part it was amazing.Anyone who can sing a Whitney song good is really talented.

  • so stupid...why do people compare this version to hudson on american idol? she had a full minute longer to do the song, so she got to do the modulation and make the song more dramatic, hudson didn't.

  • hudson actually did do the modulation, but it was right off the bat so she didn't have much time to build the tune.

  • la verdad leona es un talento que en poco tiempo ha tenido un gran exito y espero que con su trabajo y humildad logre muchas cosas mas porque se lo merece

  • good singer..but Whitney is better..

    now dont give all those pissy comments about how Leona's waay better..cause the ppl who leave those are completely biased..no offense

  • fuking brilliant

    well better than jennifer hudson wen she sang it on american idol !

    leona is brilliant

  • What a voice !!!!

  • she doesnt have enough power, but hey thats just me

  • yup thats just you alright. its great on my behalf

  • very nice voice good job

  • she has a nice voice.. but she does not provoque something.. feeling.. i dont know.. i dont like her.. SHE IS SO F AR FAR FAR AWAY FROM MARIAH OR WHITNEY.. SORRY

  • thats y u dont compare and become open minded. leona is leona. not any1 else.

  • you are not just an amazing singer you are also a beautiful one...

  • lol i love this song and i was watching ur other videos and i noe the girls that were doing the tongan dance they used to come to ma skool....

  • wow. i think im in love lol

  • OH 3M G3

    SH3 KiLT DHAT i M3AN 4 R3AL 4 R3AL!!

    SH3 iSZ SOO G3WD SH3 HAV A B3ATiFUL VOiC3 && SH3 iS SOOOO PR3TTY ((NO HOMO))

  • can you speak english?

  • Leona jest cudowna, a ta wersja jest bez porownania lepsza niz oryginal... czuje te ciary.. omg... ahhhh...

  • they may say that she's the next whitney houston.. but she doesn't have the same power and emotion in her voice like the legendary song bird does.. I think no one ever will

  • amazing. she did better than katharine mcphee did on this song. much better.

  • while i'm not a fan of her vibratto at times because it obscures her pitch, i think this performance was unbelievably well done and her tone, power, and overall emotion is better than any other cover that i've heard of this song

  • I love her range.

  • She's so beautiful! I'd love to hear her sing an opera song =)

  • What a voice

  • this is a beautiful song. she sings it amazing! amazing technique as well!

  • she is amazing

    she makes it looks so easy

    leona is a serious champ!!!

  • BEAUTIFUL! ALL I CAN SAY...

  • Good Job.

  • she did good, love her soft angelic voice, but for this song u gotta have that power and depth in your voice...love how she used the falsetto

  • oOo... NOW THEN I KNOW HOW TO SPELL FALSETTO.

  • Her vibrato is so slow, her tone don't sound right in the beginning. Whoever told this girl that she the next Whitney was definitely lying to her. Whitney would never sound like that in the beginning.

  • 2 years later her vibrato is no longer slow and her lower register has improved greatly.

    and you want to know who said leona was like witney? it was WHITNEY who said that when she heard her sing.

    So did Whitney's manager..and I'm sorry to sa it but I think i'll listen to the sinegr herself and her manager over some bitter hater.

  • All of you haters can say whatever you want, I think her recent success completely undermines anything you haters have to say. Her solo album has broken many records, and she is currently number #1 in American and has been number one around the entire world. Now what?

  • You said it no better than i could

  • Going back to the 'no real creativity' comment, this person clearly never saw her X factor performances - Check out Summertime, Sorry seems to be the hardest word, Could it be magic, etc, etc. She made all those songs her own, chopping and changing things whilst the rest of the contestants just imitated the originals! Also bear in mind she's no seasoned professional!

  • I know some of you are guna think I'm sounding crazy but Beverley from the X Factor 4 was amazing at this song. Overall Leona's got a higher range and is a better singer, however Beverley had presence and more attitude which I loved

  • Wow!! She is amazing!

    Search for "I have nothing - Fábia Cardoso".

    she is very goOD!!

    to you, from PORTUGAL

  • While I think Leona has an astonishing voice I will always think of this as Whintey's song. I trust that with lady's talent, she will be recording original material that will be her signature songs.

  • i'm portuguese and i love leona lewis! she is a good singer!

  • She sounds alot like Whitney to me... but i LOVE Whitney... she is my Fav singer in the world so i just cant go past her!

  • leaona has got a great voice but whitney gives the creep. leaona hasn't got something that whitney get. she try to do better but I think she sing without feelings.

  • charice pempengco's version is good too watch it..

  • shes ugly

  • i HAVE A QUeSTiON ARE yEW A GiRL..??

    iF S0 iM SURE yEW DNT L00K NUTTiN LiKE HER ..

  • i love leona

  • Unfortunately she lacks the magic that Whitney gave to this song! No one has been able to do this song justice! It won't go down in history as the best version of all. Whitney still tops!! Give me all the negatives you want but I don't care cause you know it's true!!

  • yes because we all know magic is real..and so are faries and the easter bunny

  • dont worry adavis leonarulez is just hatin on whitney he knows exactly what ur talkin about but is in denial but i tell u one thing vonzell and leona do have some magic of their own though and i think they are both in her league their styles are all kind of different though

  • unfortunately, she lacks magic full stop. Even Amy Winehouse who has about 2 octave range sounds more powerful than her and it shows. She reminds me of Delta Goodrem. Beautiful but no real creativty and courage to be themselves cos they're too scared not to be liked. Give us some real attitude and you'll get real soul.

  • Thank you, I agree.

  • I think you are absolutely absurd. Are you and I listening to the same singer? Her voice is stunning, and she displays so much power and attitude that it makes Amy Winehouse look like a mediocre high school alto. Please.

  • and before u even say anything about Whitney being black.. she's an exception not the rule.

  • 'No real creativity' ???

    Go and find another version of this song, by an up and coming/breaking artist and see if they made it there own.

  • you're not making a song your own when you sing every note the same way as Whitney. The way she saing it is Whitney's interpretation not anyone else's so if they sing it the way Whitney recorded it, they have no real creativity.

  • Ok, thanks for the tip.

    I'm sorry you're incapable of seeing talent.

    By the way--obviously my opinion proves to be fact, considering that she has a song on the radio??

    Criticize people without talent.

  • thats a pretty silly comment. she's singing a whitney houston song so of course she's trying to sound like her. anyone who is considered to be similar to Whitney should take it as a complement (at least vocally)

    in my humble opinion, i think this version sounds better than the original. not saying leona is a better singer than Whitney, but this version just has a few more modern touches to it, which i prefer.

  • Thats a pretty silly answer.

    A singer should sing a song his or her own way.

    If she is trying to sound and sing like whitney, doesn't that mean she doesn't have a unique voice?

    I'm not saying its not nice tho..

    I like her version best,after Whitney

    Giving me goosebumbs hearing it...

  • My apologies, i may have took your comment out of context.

    i agree with you each singer must have his or her own style. But I do think Leona does have her own style to be honest... and she rocks my socks.

  • Yeah..

    She has a great voice...

    Nice..

    especially the song 'without you'...

  • whitney's voice is far more gospel and deep

  • well im sure she could.....its not a good thing to be jelous you know

  • "And I'm Telling You" to stop being a hater! >:)

  • all u saying shes pitchy and that ide love to see you sing lyk tht^^,,,,and ppl obv love her voie cos she won duh!!

  • i think u need to look up "pitchy" in the dictionary. She might need a bit more throw on her lower notes, but her tuning is perfect. Leona slips once in a blue moon.

  • well id rather be good a betling

  • I've never heard an Australian person who's won Australian Idol...

  • Were you dropped on your head as a child? How are the fans deluded? they like what they hear, it's as simple as that. There's no manipulation going on, it's just a young girl singing her heart out on stage.

  • She has improved in that register since the show and i'm sure she'll improve more

  • This, and I Will Always Love You, had to be my favourite peformances of hers.

  • SHE HAS THE BEST VOICE EVER!

    Joka

  • BEAUTIFUL!! I AM A LAKISHA FAN and I did NOT want to admit that Leona had a better performance, but after actually watching it.... I cant deny it.... she just did does it.... ROCK ON!! (Lakisha iz still my wife tho) she just dont know it yet. lol

  • she aint no fuckin 10 x better than whitney

  • Incredible performance... Gave me goosebumps!

  • She is amazing!!!!

  • She is 10 times better than Whitney and can sing more powerful and higher!

  • Whoever said Whitney jerperdised her career is a fool. Its her personal life. Whitney is a legend. She is easily one of the best voices in the world. Aretha Franklin and all those divas, are the ones who everyone tries to be.

    Leona has a beautiful voice - but thats not reason to insult Whitney.

  • people are comparing leona to whitney and they are 2 copletely different people. i never said whitney was crap i love her too but i love leona more. and just cause i say my opinion doesnt make me a fool

  • awesome i am officially obsessed i have listened to every one of her songs like 40 times wow,wow

  • omg wow. that high note she hit at the end threw me off guard. she's a damn good singer and quite honestly better than whitney's version. :D

  • beautifulll beautifullll- whitneys songs is soo hardddd to sing shes legend and leaona sand it beautifully so blessed

  • This Girl is amazinggg.

  • Every time i hear Leona sings I get chickenspots, she's fenonemel!

  • Don't u mean goose bumps hahahahha!

  • Did anyone else notice how effortlessly Leona nails another Whitney song here,live,without breaking a sweat? We're seeing a change of the guard here and the judgement of future singers will be based on how they compare to the great Leona.

  • I think that both are amazing singers. I dont think that either is better than the other, but I think that only Leona is good enough to do a Whitney song anf justice

  • whitney until drugs took over was incredible and leona is not bad but you cannot put her on the same platform.

    whintey is just phenomenal and leona is good.

  • If Whitney was the best she wouldnt of jeperdised her career and leona wanted to this soooo bad and she would never be on the same platform as whitney because she is a waister that doesnt love what she does. so no she is nothin like her leona is sooo much better. and that girl vonzell her performance had no emotion to it. where as leona is tellin the story. BEST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG BY A MILE!!!! STANDING OVATION!!!

  • great voice....

  • She is absouloutly amazing she is better then whitney and mariah put together though people doughbt that but go ahead and watch whitney live and watch mariah live that cant stay in key throughout the whole song she's so beautiful and talented has the voice of an angel and i really hope she gets far i adore you.

  • do u need a hearing aide, seriously.... HA HA HA!!!

  • I basically said it takes a while to reach diva status..Whitney didnt exactly start out a diva...

  • why wony youtube post my damn comment?

  • Go Leona, hope the industry looks after her - she's a star

  • leona is good, but you should check out christina aguilera's version it's the best, she belted this song out when she was only 11 y/o.

  • I can't bear Christinas shouting.

  • okay dis gurl has talent n why is everyone debating about whos beta da point is dat leona has a marvellous voice n dat she won..i mean whitney houston is da original n dats dat but leona is good beyond words

  • umm.. yea, leona is good but she is no whitney. whitney is a diva and leona is more pop princess.

  • madonna's a pop princess who is diva no?

    Whitney loves Leona maaann nuff said Clive even called Leona a mixture of Mariah and Whitney

  • and he's signing Leona for a cool 10 million to fend of Sony and Jive

  • madonna is a diva. lol. its about how they carry themself and leona is no diva, honey.

  • lets put it her version is way way better than katherine mcphees version but hell no if you thinks its better than vonzells and by the way simon will never and i mean never kiss any american idols arse except carrie when he named her the winner in round 2 of the competition

  • shut up. leonas better than all those american pompoes singers, i mean they all think ther so great but none of them are tht gd. unlike leona

  • All u haters/fakers. Wish u could b her. Leona a satr. Stop the comparison with Whitney. Leona is. Whitney the past. Leona the present n the future. Get with it!!!

  • I'm not saying it's better, but I like it better than Whintey's version. stunning.

  • she did good but does not have the power vonzell and whitney had

  • did whitney approve of Vonzell like she recently did to Leona?

  • I bet if Simon Cowell licked Vonzell's arse as much as he did Leona's Whitney would have approve. ;)

  • That doesnt even make sense. lol

    how could simon saying she's good account for Whitney's and Clives own personal opinion of her? I doubt whitney would be "fooled" into thinking this girl is better than she really is. The girl has potential and the major US labels including Clive and Whitney noticed it by simply watching her vids

  • this is the real deal. wow.

  • SO glad she WON!!!

  • voice of an angle

  • so good
