♫ Leona Lewis - Run (Top Of The Pops)

Run, Top Of The Pops (Christmas Special), BBC Worldwide Ltd, MMVIII. [www.bbc.co.uk/totp]

10 December 2008

To answer some questions. Leona's vocal is definitely live. If you listen carefully...

At 1:06 when Leona says "light up" there is feedback (a pop) as she sings into the microphone.

There is additional feedback at around 2:00 if you pay close attention.

There are subtle differences between this and the studio version.

Leona just takes it to a whole new level.

@08reild she may sing it better (on key) in both situations, but not more passionate, i can feel it in the snow patrol recording and i have to disagree, snow patrol is hardly a dime a dozen. besides if they sing it off key, the original was written by them and FELT, by them. this is good as i said but not more passionate and real than the original, maybe more on key.

@reptaryay Im sorry, but you cant compare such a unique and outstanding voice like Leona Lewis to snow patrol,,,, there a hundreds of artists out there just like them and snow patrol. they are just one of them artists.the obvious lads, that sing the same kinda song, same kinda voice. there no-were near as good live than what they are on there cds.Leona is amazing,id compare her to the likes of beyonce, and mariah carey. not snow patrol she sings it better than them! more passion!

omg, tried to find a cover of this song and no one sang it with the emotion and meaning it deserved, its not about belting the chorus, its about the strain showing feeling...shes a fucking amazing artist, almost comparable to snow patrol.

I hate her so bad when she goes on her falsetto. People don't realize cause it seems so easy when she does it but falsettos are hell xd. I wanna to it as perfectly as she does sniffffffffff she never fails on the transition she's not human xd.

[friedzrich]

that's not a playback for sure =) there's differences with the studio version. but that's true it's kind of confusing cause she is just singing it the very same way^^" she should try to create a real live version for two reason 1- people would stop thinking she's doing some playback 2-it'll be more interesting to watch the lives ^^"

A real masterpiece from LL.

Her version is very spiritual as is the Snow Patrol's version.

Adding a choir always works well to strong lyrics & arrangements.
