46664 London - Leona Lewis Interview

[twonastyone]

Fine Woman

[the09conradz]

I think that Leona herself is a really, really great example for the younger kids, and that like the fact that she doesn't have 5 husbands, and prefers not to drink or smoke.

[msmila1000]

[tonymulryan]

She's still boring. Her answers are so banal.

[Fused9]

How is she boring, she's answering the questions honestly and nice. she's not cursing and yelling at the person who's asking her questions.

[CyberSamidge]

Idiots, Christopher columbus was Spanish, not english or asian you think lumps of turd

[oceanlinda3]

Christopher Columbus was italian was born in the Republic of Genoa (Italy). but was known as a italian spanish (idk) and i really don't know how this whole convo started but i needed to correct you.

[Omarcito789]

Actually Columbus was italian bue he departed from Spain with a spanish crew

[Maria5524]

Que voz mas bonita.. jaja

I love you Leona!

[stamatis1988]

i think a spanish man discovered america....not an english...

[wickywhite]

Er I think people from Asia discovered America thousands of years ago (hence the Indians having Oriental features.)

[LLrcks]

nelson mandela

[Fused9]

Leona is way more entertaining than whoever that is!

Leona Lewis is awesome!

[mcrishTV]

[Sirburnallot]

[wexhamp123]

Leona lewis is a very gracefull lady. An asset to Britain.God bless her.

[fantasygirlr]

[THEVIDEOARBITRATOR]

shes gorgeous

[ijjulie]

wow i love her! :)

[msleehom]

beautiful aura

so pure

[twilightfever03]

aww shes such a sweetheart!

[DaphneYouTub]

I Love Leona.

[mcfishyd]

damn thats some good lighting!!!

[jxd549]

she is soooo fine!

[borisstuller]

do u like guys her accent as do I ? :o)

[THEVIDEOARBITRATOR]

oh man she is so gorgeous

[Trudragon88]

is she related to Lennox Lewis?

[becs5219]

she sounds SO different and more girlish in real life!

[jinxed4lyf]

Because shes MIXED RACE u idiot!

[qw9999w]

Shes got a lovely accent and she looks damn hot and sexy here.....and stunning too

[binladencansukmy]

ok i dont get this, how come she doent have the damn accent in her songs. ever heard it and i think leona lewis is a mix cause she has a really dark skin for a british girl.

[snak3eata]

she's half welsh from her moms side and half guyanese from her dad

[agsdiamond]

She is mixed, if you check out her interview on the tyra show, tyra asks her... and she says what she is.. i think she's a bit irish aswell. The reason why u dont hear her accent is because when people sing their accents arent usually brought out in their songs.

[paulwicks15]

she is simply the best better than all the rest. woopwoop go leona ur gona be the no1 singer in this 2009 year luv ya loads! x

[damnjetsetter]

this voice is even better than her singing voice~! soooooooooooo sweet! She is very lovely & humble!

[am3ri3s]

shes talking about nelson's incredible aura and inpiration and how that gives an effect on people, and i think..... aren't you like that too, leona?!?! seriously, i've never seen a celebrity as modest and humble like her! go leona!

[sxycraig08]

y do u fink ur one

[ChocoMMs]

blu151 is right man lol

[ccbabii4vr]

i love her accent

[anyway606]

strong accent

[ThatLuckyBiatch]

Eww the interviewers accent is freaky lol

[mtpolifant]

i find it really cool how her accent is so different from her singing voice... i mean most people will only possess one voice in their life and it would be cool to have the possibilty to have 2

[DefinedStar]

Leonas mum's Welsh and her dad'd Guyanese.

[crumcakes1313]

Dude...Why Doesnt She Have An Accent When She Sings??

[crazylarski09]

b/c most brittish singers dont?!

[crumcakes1313]

Hmmm...I Seee....

[crazylarski09]

the only singers who do are wombats and like indie bands

[skylinegtr8776]

it's because british singers can turn off their accents when they sing. the same applies to british-born actors/actresses.

[mistafrooz]

hahahha yall are some faggot ass motherfuckers more worried out her accent ad shit ur stupid as fuck thats just some shallow ass shit who ives a fuck where her accent is from shes beautiful an talented quit boppin n bein a lil gossipy piece of shit

[rjickity]

get an education you twat

[rjickity]

nothing, it was directed at you not the singer.

She didn't make any mistakes when talking. Madiba is an honorary title given to leaders of the mandela clan

[sayomsskiver]

i was not aware of this, and have never heard anyone referer to him as madiba before.

but now i do.

[qw9999w]

Learn somethin u illiterate!! shes right!!

[sayomsskiver]

yeah i know, my mistake, i apologised i was wrong, doesnt mean i'm illiterate though :p, i wasnt familiar with westerners calling him this.

[jackiekay04]

LOVE U LEONA

[SouthStags88]

I want to marry her accent

[shaizyglobaldolphin]

[salbella50]

Thats amazeing how english singers can sing in our accent and talk in theirs...

[Martinxxxxxxxxxxx]

[grimeprince]

east london shes from hackney

[20383]

Love the accent!

[Zaynah13]

what are you on about 'mark of the beast'.. maybe she's just not so negative all the time because she has alot going for her! i'd love to be her.

[TOGDHEERboy]

Her British accent sucks but other than very attractive. She not quite the next Mariah yet.

[kitsunchan]

i love her!! shes amazing!! and her accent is soo cute!!

[Zaynah13]

lool, its just plain english. i'm english and i get bored of my accent. i love the american accent though. but i do think leona lewis is AMAZINGGGGGGGG!...... i would love to have a voice like hers.

[kitsunchan]

haha we should switch accents then im american and i'd love 2 have a british accent and as 4 her voice who wouldnt want it! its absolutly georgeous

[Zaynah13]

loool.

jokerrrr.

we should though :P

[SquareHeadSlacker]

wales is the joke of britain

[belen7]

SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!!..AND SO SWEET!

[mazon111]

leona's ENGLISH not welsh.

[babiegrl18]

her moms welsh

[mazon111]

so? that doesn't mean she has a welsh accent. you have an accent depending on where you're from and she's got an ENGLISH accent because she's from london.

[kartowskiromgirl]

i love her..she is adorable..

[crockofplot]

I WISH she would find new BUZZ words. Every interview, inspiration, honoured, incredible.

Come on Leona, surely you know more buzz words :)

[Edwiness]

Not many great British singers, two words for you... Kate Bush.

[eoooooon]

[Shawncx2]

she is a darling. i love her accent

[maya011779]

love her accent!

[rapdl4aur]

is she british??

[Esmeralda6891]

She said Madiva instead of Mandela lol!

[Pommygone]

the laughs on you, Madiba is an affectionate nickname which his country people used when singing happy birthday to him.

[castlesxx]

she actually called him 'madiba' its his honourary title.

[badchick03]

omg she is so hot. damn shes like the hottest person on the planet i couldn't even focus on n e thing she was saying.

[THEVIDEOARBITRATOR]

damn shes gorgeous.

[mischiefrats]

LOL. I find all the speculation over her accent funny. She is british and it's a british accent (although in the UK accents do vary still, as i'm sure they do in the USA). Of course spending loads of time in america may be affecting it a little, as you tend to alter your voice subconsiously to fit in. But she will never have an american accent. And she is a very talented person and we're extremely proud of her.

[N8thegreatone]

Sure she has a strong accent but it seems that American thing might be creeping in now. Lot's of "like, you know, like". She's been doing that valley girl impression to much it seems. :o) Seems a bit toned down too. She is cute though. Gotta love her.

[ededgauw]

she makes me smile omg

[slicvm]

love the accent. Shes hot

[bemZky23]

..she is gorgeous..!!

..luv her..

[zepzaplin]

♥ i love

[vampiwerbowy]

that accent melts my heart*****

[gl012y13]

she's sweet... like her heaps

[neotank72]

im from london and i live in the same area leona lewis does hackney, i wonder if i sound like that when i speak..sknnn

[SexyJessi09]

she is so sweet

[bubblewrap77a]

Shes a beauty.

So gorogus

[sdrtm06]

i'd like to see any of you Leona "haters" win a tv show, get to number 1 in the uk at xmas and then break america, and become the first English artist in 20 years since Kim Wilde get to number 1 in the U.S. Once you've done that, then you can critisise all you want!!

[xNotfadeaway]

y are bare of u saying "that aint her accent blah blah blah.."

how do u think people from da UK speak?

accents here doooo vary u know.. get away from the stereo typical "posh" voice thing jheezzzzzzzzzeee

come to london and u'll see

[danielpoole1234]

exscuse me dikeds she is worlwide famous if u dont no her then like do1 its cus she british all the way go leona!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emmeVN]

that british accent is really sexy..

[lorimneal]

now if she would marry an abusive bloke and get hooked on crack, she'd achieve superstardom in no time!

[red0828]

You ass! She's already a world wide super star!

[lorimneal]

you filthy stinking pig! there are tons of ppl who have never heard of her, unlike A. Winehouse who is massively known for her drug addiction. Quit being such a self righteous smut bugger and appreciate a little sarcasm you ignorant sack of shit!

[red0828]

GROW UP! Name calling does achieves a lot!

[lorimneal]

first of all, LEARN TO STRUCTURE A GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT SENTENCE, then perhaps you might find yourself qualified to tell other to grow up, you spaz!

[DisturbedAngel]

:) She's ah-mazing. I love her voice, talking or singing.

[Tullyj07]

I can't believe some people don't know she is british... come on idiots she won a BRITISH talent show, not fucking American Idol...

[THUGENSTEIN]

Woah, she's a brit. How come she doesn't sing in British? Can you even sing in a British accent?

[willing1111]

[sugarflower101]

[red0828]

[mazon111]

i love her personality. i think that makes her even more beautiful her modesty. and i love her voice of course

[huddleformation]

i love her! its great how she has become more confident:) xx

[mysonyps3]

Quite frankly I love her accent. It's one of 1000's of English Accents spread all over the World!

@RebeccaEv

Didn't even see your comment on her Accent. It was others I read that were Americans stupidly assuming Leona Lewis is American!

@colincoolness

Lighten up dude! I'm American, but I travel a lot and I'm constantly embarrassed of how arrogant and ignorant many of my fellow Americans are of the rest of the World!

@paul7684 Keep up the fight against ignorance of YouTubers Worldwide!

[ExoticLadyBug]

oh i never head her talk before only sing,i didn't know she had the full British accent u can't really tell when she sings.She's cute :)

[rachray83]

Good interview, the english are always very poise, she's absolutely goregous

[xdude180]

shes not goregous.....shes pregoustiful (pretty, goregous, and beautiful)

[rachray83]

Sure but that word looks ugly and probablly sounds ugly trying to say it, which takes away from the compliment :)

[bixxius]

hahaha omg i've never heard that XD it's cool

[noirpoetix]

they did that AFTER they killed all the original inhabitants of america. i'm sure i'll get a bunch of thumbs down for this comment. but it's true. it's history.

[noirpoetix]

i know this is gonna be weird for people to read, but even though i'm gay, i'd TOTALLY be straight for leona lol. i'm in love with her. she has the most beautiful face and personality. SHE'S the one that will...turn me lol.

[xdude180]

she dosent turn me on but damn shes insanely pretty, im gonna meet her someday when im getting the grammy for most sexy musician...lol and she gets the grammy for most pretty musician and then shell divorce her boyfriend and shell go with me.....ha man that will never happen

[jussanother2ool]

Oh my god shes sexy.

[6517650255]

i didn't know she had an accent

but shes prettier with one

[xxvolumeupxx]

god... i love her accent! and shes Hott.

[kroneage]

Complaining about Leona's Accent? WTF...you people are probably from Texas, where Watermelons are BIGGER, STEAKS are Better, and they think they have the only true English Accent!

Being American can be embarrassing. When in London in a restaurant, you hide under the table when some Texans start spouting this kind of crap!

Same thing on YouTube. Fellow Americans show their ignorance, it's as embarrassing as hell!

Especially with a wonderfully talented singer and person like Leona Lewis! :D

[paul7684]

lmao Im assuming the people making the comments about her accent are dumb ass americans! she is from the uk ! thats how people talk there lol.

[colincoolness]

You shouldn't assume. All Americans aren't dumb asses, just like all brits aren't dumb asses either. Generalizations and hate-filled comments such as these are detrimental to a united World. Stop saying them.

[paul7684]

lol well I still guarantee that Im right! and although not all americans are dumb asses (I totally agree) the ones that made the comments about Leona's accent, definitely are... hence the definition of dumb ass! stop being so sensitive this is solely a light hearted comment, it only becomes world hate if you want to take it as such a ground shattering remark. I think you need reel things in your life to be offended by ;-)

[colincoolness]

Yeah, so you, Paul. Nobody else but YOU said the words you said, thus perpetuating hateful thoughts and words out into the universe and I'm the one in the wrong for taking them too seriously and becoming offended. Makes complete sense. What a prince you are.

The lack of you not wanting to accept responsibility for the hatefulness of your words that are apparent in your reply really is mind-boggling to me.

[paul7684]

haha you poor thing I would hate (seems to be a buzz word for you) too see what would happen if you encountered any truly execrable situations or encountered any real opposition in your life... I'd like to think my "stinging" remarks will help toughen up your skin lol glad i could boggle your mind a wee bit

[colincoolness]

There you go assuming again. You've really gotta break that habit. You don't know the first thing about me or the experiences I've had to overcome in my life.

The fact remains, YOU are the one who made a generalization that all Americans are dumb asses, insulting all Americans. I called you out on it and rather than you apologizing for such comments, you're choosing to argue with me and continue to make generalizations. I really don't mind though, arguing is healthy. Keep 'em coming :)

[rsbot3000]

wow wow wow im confused ur saying its bad for that guy to argue but he should anyway cause its healthy? haha nice. :P

[colincoolness]

Nope, rsbot, I'm not saying it's bad for Paul to argue. I don't think it's bad for anyone to argue, it shows ur passionate about something. The something in this case just happens to be something Paul & I don't agree on.

[paul7684]

hehe yep we can agree on that at least...and I did not say thas why americans are dumbasses go back and read what I said before you bite my head off I say " Im assuming the people making the comments about her accent are dumb ass americans! " I was specifically speaking about one or two comments I had read on this thread, Im not randomly spouting anti american hate lol or any kind of hate dumbass is not a hateful word and if you take it as such then that is your prerogative,not my intention...

[colincoolness]

Yes, Paul, looking back I can see that that's what u said. Sorry for accusing you of making a generalization about all Americans. You did say it about those specific Americans, though, which is pretty mean. I understand the comments themselves were mean spirited too, but I don't always know if the way to fight fire is with hotter, more destructive fire.

[paul7684]

Ps one last thing.can you truly say that you don't believe the peoples comments about Leona's accent are stupid? cause I do. I do not treat people verbally or in any other way than I would expect to be treated. If I had said I thought a british person from britain has a fake accent I would fully accept people sayin the same of me. Its common sense that americans are most sheltered about the world so I made an educated guess... but I officially apologize wasn't meant to spark a war here ;)

[RebeccaEv]

Paul: I am aware that she is from UK the reason why i said what i said its because im from London, you dipwit.You are mocking Americans, do you know who created them?You only making yourself look like an assclown.Know your history and shut the hell up.
