15 year old Leona Lewis singing - Loving You (old recording)

[lilchar1]

oh my gosh im still loving this it still needs to be released xx

[LadiiJustus]

Leona is truly gifted. Go head girl!!

[08Goodas]

Boa she does NOT want ppl knowing she's mixed

[KMELIZ21]

@08Goodas what do u mean by that?

[LUVNMYLIL1]

Leona has nothing on Minnie Riperton but she still sound beautiful and that guy sound HORRIBLE !!! She should have left him where ever he was @ !!!!

[NOMOneDirectionNOM]

thinking of liam payne

[ursofunnyLOL]

@NOMOneDirectionNOM Same :)

[MeKsTeR330]

She is an angel! That was AMAZING!

[pookusss1]

you pay minnie many,many honors

[donnamariealba]

What a beautiful voice she has!

[SkemeKOS]

Is that Gary Barlow at 4:55?

[xensan379]

Love it, beautiful one of my old time fav songs, she did Awesomely!!!

[MultiYellow12]

um. they guy just ruins it.

[sxyngel]

that boy shud get offf this video!!

[officialemiliamusic]

1:10 Leona sounds so perfect ;)

[Chancez]

damn, who is that, sounds good as shit

[INGELWOODCRIPN]

i love it

[ForeverSwaqqdOut]

Damn cant believe she hit it...in a way the guy sounds like usher a lil bit but usher squezzin his lips togther

[ID0ntUnderstand]

4:53 YESSSSSSSSSS that note is so beautiful

[webmassta]

so cool :-)

[ForeverComplaining]

Leona sounds lovely then that man sings and ruins it lol!

[mazzune]

It's clear that Leona has talent but there is a hell of a lot of autotune on this track...

[815becca]

@AleGorymusic your right she killed it

[prophetbyronmotley]

How can ANYONE use the "dislike button for THIS video? Leona has AMAZING control of her wonderful voice! She knows when to take it to higher and higher levels at the right time!

What's even more IMPRESSIVE about Leona in this song is she ALLOWED the fella singing with her to SING WITH HER!

I didn't know if anyone could hit the "whistle register" made famous by Minnie Ripperton's version of this song, but Leona DEFINITELY hit that note PERFECTLY!

[bigdaddyfranchise]

@prophetbyronmotley its one of those things when people are attach to the original they rip on other versions even if their good themselves or better cuz yea... it's pride. Anyway Leona definitely owns whatever she covers.

[Alexdurrant7]

@bigdaddyfranchise Or it's just one of those things when the version of the original artist is better? Seems more likely. Leona has nothing on Minnie with regards to technical ability, passion and vocal quality.

[bigdaddyfranchise]

@Alexdurrant7 what ever makes you happy

[Alexdurrant7]

@bigdaddyfranchise It's about singing ability, not my own personal contentment. Minnie can move fluidly from note to note in the whistle register, whereas Leona sounds incredibly mechanical. Manufactured singers are in a whole other world to natural, exceptional talents and you'll probably realise this when your taste in music begins to mature.

[bigdaddyfranchise]

@Alexdurrant7 yep stay in that bubble

[Alexdurrant7]

@bigdaddyfranchise You don't appear to have an actual point to make... you haven't refuted that Leona is just another manufactured 'artist' churned out by a desperate music industry, and you haven't refuted my comment that Minnie is in every way a superior vocalist. You seem to be agreeing with me.

[bigdaddyfranchise]

@Alexdurrant7 I agree Leona is amazing, world class

[altgenesis123]

@Alexdurrant7 They are all amazing. Can you do better?

[Alexdurrant7]

@altgenesis123 Nope, but I can't even do better than Ke$ha, so being better than me is hardly an indication of true talent.

[therealzheol]

She probably came out of the womb singing rather than crying!

[quickyqualitytest]

@therealzheol lol

[SuperAimstermikumiku]

guy gets erection at 3:54

[neal86436]

Why dont you sing the song thay way it was ment to be sung ?

[Barbapapa74]

that whiste register is AMAZING! beautiful voice Leona and the guy's voice is amazing too!

[ashleyxbabieee]

Chills at 1:05 lol

[caraleigh96]

beautiful woman xxxx

[pimphstrong1]

i love her shes so talented

[perdybirdie]

wow..she is amazing!

[bobby7771117]

Wow, Leona was great,professional singer at 15, and she does great justice to this song that only Minnie Ripperton owns!  Grace&Peace, BobbyK

[babykheesh]

Best rendition of Loving You I 've ever heard!!! She could sing this and make it her single. Girl got vocals.

[emytad]

very nice ! i feel it ! Is she really only 15 when she sung this ?

[MyIcarusRich]

dodo do auto tune..lol thumbs up

[7Angie72]

How does she do that bit at 1.05!!!??? It's AMAZING!

[wazzobazzo]

@7Angie72 With long fingernails on a blackboard

[TheShortieeism]

she's always had a great voice but DANG she sure did that note perfectly!!!!!

[SexyMsLayla]

where u from

[DjPADYBU]

sounds auto-tuned tbh

[DreamScape799]

Minnie Riperton is the original singer and writer of this song. Leona did a nice job but still can't touch the high note that Minnie did so effortlessly. 

[Kollovaxo01]

The guy just fucked it up completely but her voice AMAZINGGGGGG

[4959jtl]

@Kollovaxo01 NO SHIT!!!!!!!

[Kollovaxo01]

@4959jtl No Need Ta Be Rude Girl

[4959jtl]

@Kollovaxo01 NO SHIT!!!!!!!!

[cmfletch1]

I never watched x factor but if she started there I might have to watch it. Wow she has a beautiful voice. but only one Minne..Taking nothing away this is brilliant

[CHRISSIE23234]

This grl face is soooo big hahaha big face leona she pretty doe

[MIXEDNA]

i wish Ne-Yo was in it instead of whoever singing

[bornthisway07]

@MIXEDNA Me to!

[ainsheea]

I like the guys voice :)

[vicksta76]

@ainsheea love it too



[loveyue1995]

Lovin' Leona Lewis ><

[jahdanza]

Maybe you lot have bad hearing or are listening through a cheap ass, tinny sounding laptop because that guy doesn't have a particularly bad voice. In all fairness she is singing through her nose & doesn't sound brilliant herself but them both together make it work.

[katharyncrimson]

i actually thought he blended in well with her voice...

[jahdanza]

@katharyncrimson Me too! He sounds a bit robotic but it kind of goes well. I don't think he has a particularly bad voice, certainly better than most of the crap being released today :)

[DelightFools]

born to sing simple as that..Leona <3

[newbiE24]

lol cut that guy out. awfull. he sounds so gay and messed up the whole song.

[the1andonlyAMAZON]

YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO WATCH ME SING THIS AND SHARE AND EMAIL TO EVERYONE. THE BEST VIDEO EVER!

[reeteep]

lekker ding hoor zooooooo!!1  :P

[reeteep]

waarom krijg ik kippevel?

[lolgeweldig]

@reeteep je bedoeld chickenskin haha

[reeteep]

live = a bitch so fuck it!

[reeteep]

awsome jesssssss

[AleGorymusic]

I was waiting for that crazy high part at 1:05 and she KILLED IT!!! Awesome singer!

[MrPerfumen]

最高に心が温かくなった

ありがとう！

[mipuck97]

god im 14 and she sang like this at 15 god blimey, i think im good, but that high note CRICKEY i cant do that.

[shutterguy6140]

sounded good till he thought he had to get into that heavy vibrato

[JxSEXYx]

@TheEnsana0 ........what????

[fasterdanlite]

If Jedward did a cover for this XD

[WarZealot1]

Minnie is better.

[Quekei]

is there a version without the irritating guy?

[supersweetsara1992]

@Quekei The irritating guy would be Neyo :P lol

[bonitabailey12]

@supersweetsara1992 its not neyo you dumb fuck

[bleuebeau]

@Quekei certainly, the original by Minnie Riperton.

[StarpeemReturns]

@dom4664 erm maybe because not only would they and their record companies be called money grabbers etc trying to make a hit off someone elses song for apparent 'charity'.. why would mariah with her far greater whistle register than minnie, tackle the song which inspired whistle registers in the first place?? Unoriginal and would make her look like a true copycat. Not to mention shes busy being a mother, and i doubt much that leona would cover this song AGAIN. Get xtina aguilera 2 do it .

[MrMonsterlock]

leona doesnt have the wow factor in her singing, she has the worst notes god... stop singing

[Blastick]

she doesn't do anything from 4:53 and onwards... -.-'

[man1192803]

@Blastick

yes she does you just gotta turn the volume up

[ikawpipa]

who's the crazy dude?

[OmgItsAlyLol]

I like IU singing this <3 :)

[sakuraluvssasukexxx]

@OmgItsAlyLol me 2 she sounds soo cute=)

[starzyskullz]

the guy aint that bad...just as long as he doesnt do the high notes @_@

[sweetwings1]

u both sound lovely

[PNDrocks]

Great job girl!! liking this!!!

[fishershark]

Who is the piece of shit that ruin the voice of that angel? 

[Prodelos]

Leona is a stunning beauty and an amazing talent. Sad that he (whoever the heck he is) is such a boneheaded loser that he had to ride on the skirt tail of a talented 15 year old girl. 

[MrSingingLewis]

My friend covers this song so much better. Search MissKatyClayton

[TehBuhmDiggeee]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SHE CAN NOT FUCKING SING FOR HER LIFE!!! Do you HEAR the amount of synthesisers it actually takes to make her voice even remotely listenable. FUCK ME popular music these days reflects the absolute SHITINESS of the CUNTS who listen to it.

[butlerny]

@TehBuhmDiggeee you on crack?

[Keithgiggitygoo]

@TehBuhmDiggeee  And the reason you clicked on this video is why????

[iluvsoulmusic]

@TehBuhmDiggeee feel better now? Saddo lol

[Husbaa05]

This song is beautiful

[528jkl]

i hate the guy part !

[TheSkaaroVideos]

Search for: "SKAARO" here on Youtube!! Listen to his new song "Crazy (all night long)" and coment what you think!! Please, support him!!!!

[Mumric]

[jojohannah2008123]

there are few people i have been able to categorically say they were meant to do one thing in particular with their lives... this girl was born to sing

[MonkeyManWill]

Lol kinda cencored, being here with you instead of makin love,lol

[NiondraMT]

Her voice<3

[timpwalden]

Autotuned!



[DefyGravity464]

@timpwalden

*pokes you with a stick*

[94grapevine94]

she looks 30 !

[BrianPeppersx]

@94grapevine94 I need to move where you live if 30 year old women look like that there.

[94grapevine94]

@BrianPeppersx haha, but what i exactly meen is that she dont look like one of 15, and her voice also ;p

[BrianPeppersx]

@94grapevine94 She's 21 in the video, though, not 15 :)

[94grapevine94]

@BrianPeppersx oowh xD I knew it !

[missladym4591]

Damn dem high notes!

[sphinx246]

beautiful girl with an extremely beautiful voice....

[MrFloweryapron]

The background music ruins it. And the stupid bloke.

[Freshhprettyboy]

she sounds similar to minnie

[AngieSnickerzDiaz]

was so small and already had a great voice! is incredible! I love her! :D

[VatavucristiaN95]

God :O

On a so fragile age!

incredible :O

It sounds like an angel is singing

[LMURPHY86]

I never heard anyone hit the notes and they sound good go Leona Lewis!

[mymybadd1]

she sounds really good just as guud as minnie rippelton

[11wormbig]

This song would have been better if the guy wasn't singing!

[splusa737]

@11wormbig agreed, he messes it up for me

[perceptivum]

@11wormbig ,,,But now he IS singing,,,,So what is the problem ?????  Why change history,,,,better enjoy!

[777amer777]

leona's got her own style but she dosent have the appeal of minnie riperton

[keyawarren]

No No NO! She can sing but this song is wayyy out of her range. People sure are tone deaf around here :/

[MrJoHnSoN0263]

@keyawarren U CRAZY.. THE DUDE MESSED EVERYTHING UP... BUT SHE DID HER THING,,

[man1192803]

@MrJoHnSoN0263

I think he sings really good. He shouldn't do the high notes, but that's a different issue.

[smileymawong]

i don't care what other people said to her but i just very love this song because it sooo powerful,,,<3 love it <3<3

[kirkwallboy]

Wow respect to her. She has a tremendous voice. Minnie Riperton owns this song. This is the best cover version of this simply wonderful and beautiful and timeless song!

[LMWynyHukgirl39]

she does this song wonderfully! sounds great with the male voice too. She does minnie justice for sure just beautiful

[whitebloss0m]

I wonder how she does the aahhhh bit at - 1:05 - 1:09?

[MrOscarCoban]

auto tune hahah faillll

[JxSEXYx]

im 14 and can do this too -__-

[BengPaPi]

@JxSEXYx then do it, :)) then you can be really famous, just go to Xfactor then see how well you can do LOL

[JxSEXYx]

[JxSEXYx]

[andrelemi]

Is the big sharp notes a whistle? (1:05)

[andrelemi]

Did Leona hit the same notes that Minnie?

[andrelemi]

I rather her voice on this recording! =S

[HKLittleS]

This is the best version ever, love how the 2 sounds interact. Sweeeet Leona! ^.^

[xlizzysoflyx]

aws good song , cant believe she was 15 , great voice :)

[88imperfectangel]

do u guys like her hair better natural or curled with the irons and roller pleaz lemme know

[rankingj]

@88imperfectangel I pefer her with her natural hair, which is the curly hair. When it is straight, it is blow dried or straightend with a hair straightner.

[ikoawak]

I like Leona Lewis very much, she is such as nice girl, and she has beautiful voice.

[AliiStarrAliyah]

absolutely BRILL!

she has pure talent ive always liked her

[queenbeefierce2308]

wwwwwwwooooooooowww mariah

[aha00002]

very nice..but somehow i did not like her whistle register on this one (

[J2ockLeeJr]

WOW man i dont understand y do ppl hate for like y ? everybody cant be the best and for ppl sayin ppl cant sing like the old times.... well who gives a dam this is present get out the past jeezs can't we listen to their music in peace ,i say they get rid of comment and just keep the dislike and like bar ppl takin this too far...

[angeltwiinsisterx3]

wow sie singt soo gut !!

[antoneykent]

even if shes not as good as Minnie, she's got a better voice than most contempory singers. Agree?

[IncredibleLyrics]

@antoneykent she is better then minnie :P she was 15 here u retard

[isaiahwillis95]

Also minnie riperton was at a less advanced time so her mics and sounds werent as good as now

[maurich92]

you can soo hear the auto tuning , sounds like some t pain ish if you as me . lmbo !

[cammicty]

BTW, she can't even touch Mariah in her Prime, nor Whitney, Could never reach Rachelle Ferrell, but then no one on earth right now can reach Ferrell or Patty, Phyllis. I hate when they take these mediocre singers and have the nerve to compare them to singers, who did not use Auto Tune.

[IncredibleLyrics]

@cammicty she was 15 here? u idiot leona leona destroys meriah and whitney these days cause there washed up dont like leona dont come on her videos u trampy little whore

[cammicty]

@IncredibleLyrics Sweetie, don't be so harsh on yourself. ''You might be a whore"' but the words have never been in my vocabulary or image in 50 years of good living, but so many of today's youth unfortunately as yourself are ''whorish'', this is evident from all the programs depicting such loose; living on TV today. Back to Leonna, she sings alright, but she will never be a legend, even Jennifer Hudson out sings her. I'm only referring to true vocal talent! Whitney; was also 15 and she, cont,

[IncredibleLyrics]

@cammicty Jennifer hudson? lols who sells more

leona lewis xd and leona is 15 here and ur saying shes alright dont like her stop fking come on it

[cammicty]

@IncredibleLyrics Who cares, it's all about that marketer baby, J Hudson can still sing her under the table!

[SweetMintPie555]

@cammicty haa lol next joke please :P

[SuperBlackChic]

@cammicty you act like auto tune is some new invention. every heard of Zapp and Roger? almost all songs use synthesizers for that crisp sound that you can't get from live songs. leona is anything but mediocre.

[cammicty]

@SuperBlackChic

Sweetie, Zapp and Roger could actually sing, those were the days, (my adult days, when I'm sure you were still in diapers, if even born, lol;) Most of today's singers are just alright, the one's that are amazing never truly make it because they don't have ''the perfect package'' ! BTW, since Auto Tune was not even developed until 1998 and first used by Cher in her ''If you believe tune'' it never applied to Zapp and Roger, they used Vibraphone, cont,,,

[cammicty]

@SuperBlackChic cont, they used Vibraphone, guitar, bass, keyboards, harmonica, vibraphone, percussion, and the ''Talk Box'' which is what was used by many great muscians to modify their voices. To use a Talk Box required talent baby, not many could use it today, unless they really had vocal power. Today they have to use computerized machines to help them, which require no effort. Go into a studio before you speak. Leonna can sing, but there is better, even on You Tube, there is better.
