Leona Lewis - Run

[Shoed]

Leona Lewis is releasing her Snow Patrol cover 'run' as it was a big hit with viewers on the net, meaning youtube mainly i guess. She performed it in Jan 2008 in the radio 1 live lounge and will be performing it on x factor on 15th November (2 weeks today, 1st nov).

Knowing her it'll be a hit, and it is a good cover, i gotta say' ;)

[Eamonn]

She done it last year as a radio one live lounge and that is where is was popular first, not youtube, they got thousands of requests for it to be played with in minutes of shows starting and ended up adding it to the A-List and that version is completely live :)
She has done a studio version for the re-release of 'Spirit' although it hasn't leaked yet and the cover is simply amazing.

[Shoed]

LOVIN LEONA XX
however she got boo'ed at the mobo awards!!

[stickwitu]

yawn.
if its not take a bow or misses glass i dont wanna know.

[Shinigami]

i love snow patrols version but not this :(

[Fehm]

i love snow patrols version but not this :(

I agree!

Not the best but its not bad :)

[Eamonn]

Shoed everyone gets booed at the Mobos if they don't turn up, seriously I was watching it and the crowd are so pathetic, first they cheered for her like crazy when her nominations were being annouced, then when they realised she hadn't turned up they went crazy ahaha :P

& y'all wait until you hear Leona singing this on the XF in a few weeks, will be breathtaking.

[Hurts]

I remember hearing it last year on radio 1, it is amazing! There is a 30sec sample of the studio version as well on youtube, sounds sooo good. Looking foward to it :D

still prefer snow patrol's, the song just doesnt really suit her imo

[Foals]

**** wrong thread lol soz

[Barmi]

I remember listening to it the first time and I absolutely loved it. I still do, and when I heard that she is releasing it on the deluxe version of Spirit, I was thrilled!

Lots of admiration for Ms. Lewis here! :)

A clip from her recording for Spirit Deluxe has been released by her official YouTube page. Im glad that she has kept it like her Radio 1 Version.

X Factor have confirmed she is singing Forgive Me on Saturday though. She might sing it if she does a Mariah and opens the show as well as doing the Results Show, however looking at the running time for Saturdays Main Show it looks like she will just be doing Forgive Me.

[Shoed]

sammeth, nice find and tis nice :) and im sure shes singing run sammeth, has been said on paper. think you'll be suprised :)

[Sammeth.]

I'm gonna trust ITV's official press release rather than a paper :P

She remains the shining example to all talent show hopefuls the world over.

The human blueprint made flesh of how to enter a show like The X Factor, annihilate the competition and set about global domination the moment the title’s been won.

Yes you’ve guessed it, Leona Lewis is back!

On 15th November Leona returns to The X Factor stage that kick-started her amazing career, to perform her brand new single Forgive Me.

In the two short years since her X Factor audition, Leona has achieved phenomenal, worldwide success. Bleeding Love reached Number One in 35 countries, and her album Spirit made her the first British artist to debut at Number One on the Billboard US album charts.

If the 15th seems a long way off yet, and you just can't wait to listen to her new song, hit the links below.

Although as I said before, I wouldn't totally rule out two performances. It's just due to the running length of next weeks main show I think it would be difficult to fit in all the contestants, adverts and an opening by Leona. On Saturday I might be surprised and she might sing run (I hope she does) but I think it's Forgive Me until I see it :P

[Ollyoaks]

I like her and all but this song just doesn't do it for me. :P

[Sammeth.]

She will be singing Run on Divas II on ITV1, Sunday 23rd November. Few images from the event:

[Con]

hmm its not powerful enough

compared to her other songs
I agree - but this song is style + version is great :)

[Sammeth.]
