Leona is still young and has plenty of time to grow. And believe me; she will! We all have to admit that Leona is not sing as well as Whitney or Mariah, but she will be. She is better than Celine vocally, and she will be better than Mariah. I love Leona, and I trust that she will further increase her abilities! We have to make way for a new generation!
@blairnaj Id LOVE to see this 'immortal' have a sing off against The apparent 'necessity' and 'remnant'... Not to mention a beauty contest for gods sakes hahaah
@graytoxxin not true, whitney hosuton pioneered the use of gospel singing into the pop culture, now 90% of all people singing at weddings at tv talent shows sing with her initial style, whitney may have not been the first but she made it her style....its what evryone of this generation of music counts as the best singers.
@numba1danman i guess that's true, but you cant really call her a true artist...its kind of like britney spears, she pioneered, sure, but she doesnt really write that much and its more of a trendsetting thing than it is an innovative thing.
I don't know... I mean Celine is still on top, but Mariah is beginning to lose her voice. I mean, after her baby comes we won't be seeing very many live performances for a while. Poor Whitney is definitely not as good as she used to be... Leona just might have the chance to come out on top if her next album is incredible.
@TheVocalPower Don't get me wrong I like Beyonce, but she doesn't have the same vocal range as Leona. Her voice is powerful, but I haven't heard her hit the really hit notes. But comparing different singers as far as who's number one and stuff is silly, if they have good music they have good music, you don't have to pick a side. All the people you listed have some epic songs, no need to rank who is the most epic
lmfao smoe people saying comparing leona to christina A. or beyonce are u kidding me lol
u need to go and look at liv performances by leona lewis, at xfactor the uk sho she did, leona only sang tough songs mostly mariah carey songs and whitney houston in fact some live performances she was even better than them, if u wanna compare leona compare her to these stars not beyonce or christian a who only screams plzz
@MCLAMB4LiFE in terms of icon staus i garee with you, but that doesnt mean that if whitney mariah and celine were in a room battleing with leona on vocales ie one note by one note, u rly think anyone at this moment in time wud beat leona? u r seriously doubting this girls abilities.
@numba1danman Mariah would come first I mean to get the highest note obviously coz she does that crazy high stuff but Leona would prob beat celine. I like all 3
@ZakrazakOfTheXMen yeah mariah can go higher but there are literally thousands of women in the world who can sing higher than mariah (rhyme) the turth is it needs to be a mixture and although mariah can still hit high notes - not as high as she could - she has definately lost all emotional power - leona cant go as high but wat she can do is much better quality - and i always say quality rather than quantity.
exactly. You proved my point. We live in a week era of music. No doubt. Lady Gaga is a joke to music, Britney spears is a clown. Kesha and Cheryl Cole are just lucky that they are where they are now.
It say's a lot about british music when Leona is probably the best we have. It also says a lot about music when the best male singer in the world is primarily an entertainer.
LMAO iconic. You don't reach 'icon' status in music after 1 good year.
Oh and by the way. When was the last time you heard anyone praise her songs before she goes out on stage? Never. They are too busy wondering what she'll be wearing.
And maybe you have been too busy clinging on to the 'technique' side, but if you'd care to watch Michael Buble when he was mid 20's you would actually notice he was a great singer - he focused on the vocals a lot, until he got confident and yes, he might not be as good vocally now than 10 years ago but he is now all rounded. Can play instruments, can write good songs, keeps alive the greatest thing the US ever gave the world and is a good entertainer. He's versitle, something Leona will never be
You argue that you know what vocal technique is yet only the other day you're the one that said emotion and feeling was to do with vocal technique?
And yes MB is a good vocalist yes, I'm saying nothing he does is above the average technique , yes he does the average technique EXTREMELY well , but it is still average. I'm done replying now because you have no idea what you're talking about ( it's obvious when you don't because you throw an insult at leona ) and I'm sick of repeating myself.
Ok, i guess we'll be seeing your students dominating the charts soon ~roll eyes~
And i know what vocal technique is, like vibrato, and phonation ect. I meant feeling and emotion is what i look for in an artist.
But i won't bash your god anymore. No need to. X factor winners don't last long, hell, she only won the x factor because she was up against clowns LMAO!
People who say Leona can't sing are just jalous and they know nothing about music! Leona is one of the greatest singers in the world, so if you say she can't sing, you're totally wrong! Let me see you hit those notes like she can! And hell she's beautifull!
lmao haha ... Leona Lewis is just simply the best.
if "x factor winners" dont last long?
why was Leona asked to do a theme song for such big movies as Avatar?
why would Leona Lewis be asked to do a song for a commercial in U.S? why would Leona Lewis be the first British in over 20 years to break into No.1 us charts? Because she is different, just because she came out from x factor doesnt mean she is like the others previous winners and she is the best vocalists right now.
Exactly. She's hyped up to be the next best thing in music when all she has to show for herself is a song on Avatar (an overrated movie) and #1 in US. At the moment her songs in the US aren't getting top 10. Why? Because there are better singers out their.
And no she isn't different. She's not even in Mariah Carey's or Whitney houston's league. Possibly at the moment, but just about most people are better than them at the moment.
anaconda43vr: oh yeah cause your so called singers that are currently in the top ten such as Kesha, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears are definitely much better singers than Leona, Whitney and Mariah. Even though most of them lip synch or use crappy autotune. *inserts sarcasm*
@Anaconda43VR Going by your logic that would mean Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are the two best singers in the world right now as they're the two that sell the most worldwide , but I think you will agree that isn't the case?
@Anaconda43VR LOL you get wayyy to involved in this , first let me so go and get a hobby , to respond with like 6 posts shows a little obsession you have with Michael?
Yes she writes on her albums , yes she plays instruments , she has ONE cover on her new album, Michaels has like 10?
Dude like whoever you like , im not interested in sales or what ever you want to drag into this debate next , she's technically a better vocalist , get over it.
@Anaconda43VR 'obvious idiot is obvios' so you're attacking my intelligence by proving yourself unable to string together a sentence that makes sense? well done.
She plays Piano and Guitar , as I've said , do your research before you debate.
No i know Leona doesn't play instruments. I asked you what type of guitar she plays - seeing as you said she plays guitar. Seeing as you think you know everything.
And just finally, before you rant at me. I personally don't mind that you think Leona is vocally a better singer, hell, you could think she's the best singer ever. I can't change your opinion and music is about personal choice.
but i don't like the fact you called MB and Tony Bennett average. I've seen both live and i can tell you that they are far from it.
She plays the accoustic guitar , go and ask her if it will make you feel better.
And I will say this one last time and pray to god you learn to read , I'm not talking about opinion here , when I say average , I do not mean them over all , I am talking about vocal technique , that isn't opinion , it's fact , some singers the world regards as the best of all time i.e michael jackson , elvis , technically their vocal technical ability was average , that doesnt make the singer average.
And no, Elvis isn't regarded as a great singer - he's regarded as a good singer but had the whole packaging and marries well.
And MJ was regarded as an all rounded entertainer.
Michael Buble is a singer, yea he calls himself an entertainer but first and foremost he is a singer. His vocal technique is not average and he makes standards look easy.
Finally, i will tell you what i told the troll who uploaded this video. You can go ahead and say that Leona is better than Legends such as Frank Sinatra. You can also say that Leona is Better than Michael if you want - but at the end of the day MB and Frank Sinatra will obviously be held in higher regard and still well respected.
Leona at the most will be remembered as the girl who won a talent contest to make it. I doubt that even - she'll be forgotten in 20 years time.
Ok, i don't understand either is that you're a vocal coach but you spend your time arguing at me and persistently calling me out on stupid things.
You said Tony Bennett is average first of all. Which is not true. Maybe you are just ignorant but he's been making music now for about 60 years. He is a legend. Legends aren't average at anything so i would put my hand up if i were ou and say you had no clue Tony Bennett even existed.
And again, comparing Leona Lewis' vocal range to Frank Sinatra is just silly.
Women have a naturally bigger range than men. For example, Britney Spears has got a higher range than Sinatra, however she can't sing very well and with Leona, she has nothing else going for her.
Why dont you fuck off and go and preach about your swing vocalists to someone who cares, youre never gonna make me listen to you, all youve done is annoyed me- i know what im doing and what im talking about, so shut the fuck up you annoying twat!!
What!! it says you posted that reply 11 hrs ago lolol. Youtube is messed.
Anyway yea music is about fact and opinion. But there is truth as well.
For example, i could say i sing standards better than Michael Buble (this singer who is my favourite of this last decade). It's my opinion but it is ludicrus.
I don't know when you mean techincal ability. Ability is split up into control/emotion and feeling. Leona might have good control and yeah i would say she's a good singer (not great IMO) with an ok voice.
Technical ability means an awful lot , I could write pages and pages on it no it's not split into control, emotion and feeling , they are vocal techniques that are measurable ability's. It has nothing to do with emotion or feeling.
Yes i know. But technique is an over-used word. As long as someone has great control, and their voice is pure (not breathy or nasilly) then it's good enough for me.
But considering you don't actually know what vocal technique is you can't really comment , he'll tell you himself that she's the more skilled vocalist
You will find that she is less skilled than MB in every way to do with music. Hence why MB has/will always be around longer and relevant in the charts.
I think MB is as good as Sinatra himself. I put Sinatra ahead because he was the original! Leona is a fraud of Mariah!
@Anaconda43VR She has a bigger range , she uses it better , she has greater control , she can reach notes he couldn't hit if i were to kick him in his balls
And I love Michaels music but it's hardly relevant to the charts today
@Anaconda43VR And I'm now laughing at you at your idiotic attempt to point score by bringing sales into it. Michael Buble sells more than 99% of professional opera singers , he's no where near as technically gifted , sales has nothing to do with your voice it's your likability.
And yes , leona has a much bigger range than Sinatra , that is a fact , google both their ranges and you shall see for yourself
Firstly, i am not bringing in sales to prove that he is better than Leona Lewis. I was bringing in sales to prove to you that he is more relevant in the charts and to the music business than that fraud who won the X factor a few years ago.
However if i was going to prove to you he was a better singer i would point out the fact that he doesn't actually use modern technology on his albums - like Pro Tools and only has to record his songs once or twice because he gets the, perfect.
Ok, so she might be around in 5 years but she isn't relevant to the charts. She can't promote herself because of her personality and in America she didn't even make the top 10 with her new album.
What has she got that any other singer hasn't got?
Go back through history you'll find the legends of the past often didn't chart with a lot of their material , they're remembered for their incredible gifts that surpass others
and that my friend is what she has than millions of other singers don't , the voice of incrdible range and control that doesn't come around often
the top 10 singers of the last decade are down to opinion , it's not fact
it is however a fact she can cover 5 octaves and move between them with ease and incredible control , something very few singers can do hense why the music industry is very interested in her at the moment
Well if you want me to prove my credentials by tutoring you you're welcome to apply
In the mean time I could post links on here to demonstrate her vocal range for you if you're still unwilling to see sense
Her tone is again down to opinion
But it is a technical fact she has a huge range that she is able to control extremely well so whether you like her or not it is fact she is an extremely able and gifted singer
First of all i didn't criticise you. I simply made an observation that you might not teach the music i sing. That is why you get classical trainers; who specialise in teching people who want to do opera.
And actually i read an article with Frank Sinatra who actually sang 7 hours a day when he was 10+ and he said teachers can only do so much and you need to develop your own style.
But obviously you know more about singing than Sinatra....
I assure you they do , I know as I have worked with singers myself. Again you are making claims that you have no clue about , why continue you to do it?
And i'm not making BS up. Even my favourite singer even said that the best singers don't need singing lessons and they can develop their own style themselves by just working hard on their own.
How can you ASSURE me that they don't? please post your concrete evidence
I don't disclose the names of clients on an internet forum I'm not that unprofessional
And I'm not talking about singing lessons , I agree with you there , I'm talking about having a vocal coach it's very different , Someone to help manage and help preserve your voice , ALL the greats have them , only an incredibly arrogant and uninformed singer would go completely without a vocal coach
She is not that unique. imo. cristina is above her. for me. well, when Cristina sings perfectly, like not throwing paint all over with her voice, you get me?
tho i do love loenas Vibrato belt. i'll give her that.
she is perfect. I want to hear her singing all the songs from the world!

Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
And just finally, before you rant at me. I personally don't mind that you think Leona is vocally a better singer, hell, you could think she's the best singer ever. I can't change your opinion and music is about personal choice.
but i don't like the fact you called MB and Tony Bennett average. I've seen both live and i can tell you that they are far from it.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
She plays the accoustic guitar , go and ask her if it will make you feel better.
And I will say this one last time and pray to god you learn to read , I'm not talking about opinion here , when I say average , I do not mean them over all , I am talking about vocal technique , that isn't opinion , it's fact , some singers the world regards as the best of all time i.e michael jackson , elvis , technically their vocal technical ability was average , that doesnt make the singer average.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I'm not a retard, i know what vocal technique is!
And no, Elvis isn't regarded as a great singer - he's regarded as a good singer but had the whole packaging and marries well.
And MJ was regarded as an all rounded entertainer.
Michael Buble is a singer, yea he calls himself an entertainer but first and foremost he is a singer. His vocal technique is not average and he makes standards look easy.

You seem to be under the impression of not playing an instrument is a bad thing?

Finally, i will tell you what i told the troll who uploaded this video. You can go ahead and say that Leona is better than Legends such as Frank Sinatra. You can also say that Leona is Better than Michael if you want - but at the end of the day MB and Frank Sinatra will obviously be held in higher regard and still well respected.
Leona at the most will be remembered as the girl who won a talent contest to make it. I doubt that even - she'll be forgotten in 20 years time.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Again, what other things does leona do. Does she write her own songs? Does she play instruments? Does she have personality? No!
Unlike MB; who can actually play the piano and writes some great tunes and is a comedian, Leona does quite the opposite.
Oh and BTW, an American station refused to play Leona's album because their were so many covers of modern era tracks. Unlucky.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Ok, i don't understand either is that you're a vocal coach but you spend your time arguing at me and persistently calling me out on stupid things.
You said Tony Bennett is average first of all. Which is not true. Maybe you are just ignorant but he's been making music now for about 60 years. He is a legend. Legends aren't average at anything so i would put my hand up if i were ou and say you had no clue Tony Bennett even existed.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
And again, comparing Leona Lewis' vocal range to Frank Sinatra is just silly.
Women have a naturally bigger range than men. For example, Britney Spears has got a higher range than Sinatra, however she can't sing very well and with Leona, she has nothing else going for her.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
And you're obviously ignornt because Tony Bennett isn't even swing. He's Jazz. There is actually a difference.
But i've embarressed you enough. Nevermind!
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
WHAT!!!!!
Tony Bennett. Average. Yep, the guy has been average for 60 years LMAO
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
@Anaconda43VR lmfao tony bennett.
Why dont you fuck off and go and preach about your swing vocalists to someone who cares, youre never gonna make me listen to you, all youve done is annoyed me- i know what im doing and what im talking about, so shut the fuck up you annoying twat!!
StarpeemReturns 2 years ago
Firstly, i'm not even talking to you, i'm talking to the other guy.
Secondly, you don't stay in the music business for 50+ years by being just average.
So GTFOOHWTBS!
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Notice how you said In Your Opinion
which I respect
But it doesn't change the fact the magority of singers no matter how big or small will have a vocal coach.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
What!! it says you posted that reply 11 hrs ago lolol. Youtube is messed.
Anyway yea music is about fact and opinion. But there is truth as well.
For example, i could say i sing standards better than Michael Buble (this singer who is my favourite of this last decade). It's my opinion but it is ludicrus.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Yes well reverting back to your original comment about Leona , it is FACT her technical ability is far far above the standard of your average singer
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I don't know when you mean techincal ability. Ability is split up into control/emotion and feeling. Leona might have good control and yeah i would say she's a good singer (not great IMO) with an ok voice.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Technical ability means an awful lot , I could write pages and pages on it no it's not split into control, emotion and feeling , they are vocal techniques that are measurable ability's. It has nothing to do with emotion or feeling.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I'm sure you probably could, although what i look for is the voice timbre, control and emotion.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Yes and they're lovely qualitiy's to possess , what I'm saying is that's not what vocal technique is.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Yes i know. But technique is an over-used word. As long as someone has great control, and their voice is pure (not breathy or nasilly) then it's good enough for me.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Yes but I was talking about technique to answer your original critique of Leona , what she has that many other sings don't.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Quite a few people though have better 'technique than Leona'. Do i need to name names?
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Yes , please point out the quite a few in todays industry that do
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Michael Buble
Mariah Carey (washed up, but still can sing)
Jason Mraz
John Mayer
Andreas Bocelli
Tony Bennett
Shannon Noll
Stan Walker
Peter Cincotti
Jamie Cullum
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
All have nice voice but technically the only two that are above average vocals are Mariah Carey and Andreas Bocelli
All the others just have a really really nice tone to their voice , technique is different.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
+ Michael Buble
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
No Michael Buble has a nice tone but his technique is quite sloppy
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I doubt that. I've seen him live five times and he's the best male singer of this last decade.
It matters little, as his album raped Leona's in every country.......
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
But considering you don't actually know what vocal technique is you can't really comment , he'll tell you himself that she's the more skilled vocalist
ask him next time you see him
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Even Tony Bennett say's Michael Buble is the best singer. But obviously your opinion counts for more.
There is a reason He didn't need a talent show to get a record deal ~roll eyes~
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Go and ask Tony Bennett who's the more skilled vocalist technically , he'll tell you the same as I do
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Or not!
How is Leona more skilled?
You will find that she is less skilled than MB in every way to do with music. Hence why MB has/will always be around longer and relevant in the charts.
I think MB is as good as Sinatra himself. I put Sinatra ahead because he was the original! Leona is a fraud of Mariah!
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
@Anaconda43VR She has a bigger range , she uses it better , she has greater control , she can reach notes he couldn't hit if i were to kick him in his balls
And I love Michaels music but it's hardly relevant to the charts today
You're blinded by your love for the dude
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Wow, so is that why he owns Leona in every country in terms of record sales - even in the UK LMAO.
So, Leona has a better range than Sinatra. She isn't 1/100 of that guy!
LMAO i'm still laughing at you!
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
@Anaconda43VR And I'm now laughing at you at your idiotic attempt to point score by bringing sales into it. Michael Buble sells more than 99% of professional opera singers , he's no where near as technically gifted , sales has nothing to do with your voice it's your likability.
And yes , leona has a much bigger range than Sinatra , that is a fact , google both their ranges and you shall see for yourself
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Firstly, i am not bringing in sales to prove that he is better than Leona Lewis. I was bringing in sales to prove to you that he is more relevant in the charts and to the music business than that fraud who won the X factor a few years ago.
However if i was going to prove to you he was a better singer i would point out the fact that he doesn't actually use modern technology on his albums - like Pro Tools and only has to record his songs once or twice because he gets the, perfect.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
We won't be seeing her around in 5 years.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
it's already been 4 years since the x factor and she's still here going strong , she's contracted for at least 3 more albums
so yes
you really will see her in 5 years
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Ok, so she might be around in 5 years but she isn't relevant to the charts. She can't promote herself because of her personality and in America she didn't even make the top 10 with her new album.
What has she got that any other singer hasn't got?
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Go back through history you'll find the legends of the past often didn't chart with a lot of their material , they're remembered for their incredible gifts that surpass others
and that my friend is what she has than millions of other singers don't , the voice of incrdible range and control that doesn't come around often
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
So how many octaves does she have?
And she isn't even a top 10 singer of the last decade - which has been the weakest era yet!
And trust me, there are singers who have a lot more than her at the moment.
Leona isn't a legend, so don't campare her to legends.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
the top 10 singers of the last decade are down to opinion , it's not fact
it is however a fact she can cover 5 octaves and move between them with ease and incredible control , something very few singers can do hense why the music industry is very interested in her at the moment
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Well, i've looked on various websites and it says she has 3 1/2 - 4 maximum.
I don believe you're talking out of your ass when you say 5.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Look at as many websites as you like , I'm a vocal coach and I know the range , why ask me if you're not going to listen to the answer?
She can cover 5.
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I don't care whether you're a vocal coach. A lot of coaches aren't even that good.
Like i keep saying, a 5 octive range is good, but have you heard her voice recently, the voice timbre is awful and she hasn't got a nice tone.
I don't need to bash Leona though. You know is all........
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
Well if you want me to prove my credentials by tutoring you you're welcome to apply
In the mean time I could post links on here to demonstrate her vocal range for you if you're still unwilling to see sense
Her tone is again down to opinion
But it is a technical fact she has a huge range that she is able to control extremely well so whether you like her or not it is fact she is an extremely able and gifted singer
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
No disprespect, but you probably don't teach Jazz standards and swing. Plus you need to develop your own style.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
I love how you critique me without any knowledge of what you're talking about , just as you've done with Leona
I suggest in future before you make comments to people you do research first?
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
First of all i didn't criticise you. I simply made an observation that you might not teach the music i sing. That is why you get classical trainers; who specialise in teching people who want to do opera.
And actually i read an article with Frank Sinatra who actually sang 7 hours a day when he was 10+ and he said teachers can only do so much and you need to develop your own style.
But obviously you know more about singing than Sinatra....
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
No you said I don't teach your style to your standards , that is what was insulting.
And yes you do need to develop your own style but you can't hear your voice the same way a teacher can , everyone sounds different to themselves
You will always need a coach to help you develop your style
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Well, if you are exploding mentally behind youre computer monitor i'm sorry, really i mean it.
I know that (in regard to your second statement)
And no finally, the greatest singers don't have vocal coaches.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
I assure you they do , I know as I have worked with singers myself. Again you are making claims that you have no clue about , why continue you to do it?
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
I assure you, they don't.
Who have you taught who is making records?
And i'm not making BS up. Even my favourite singer even said that the best singers don't need singing lessons and they can develop their own style themselves by just working hard on their own.
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
How can you ASSURE me that they don't? please post your concrete evidence
I don't disclose the names of clients on an internet forum I'm not that unprofessional
And I'm not talking about singing lessons , I agree with you there , I'm talking about having a vocal coach it's very different , Someone to help manage and help preserve your voice , ALL the greats have them , only an incredibly arrogant and uninformed singer would go completely without a vocal coach
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
So you can't actually prove that you are indeed a vocal coach who has actually instructed anyone to the top?
The best singer ever lived didn't have a vocal coach!
Anaconda43VR 2 years ago
I can prove it , but I don't see an internet debate a worthy reason to compromise a client
Still waiting for your evidence btw ...
And I'd love to know who you're refering too when you say the greatest singer that ever lived?
Matty3Mite3 2 years ago
Ok, i believe that you are a vocal coach. Happy!
IMO the greatest singer ever was/is Frank Sinatra.
