Rising diva Leona Lewis scored the lead single off the soundtrack to James Cameron’s adventure film ‘Avatar’. The track, entitled ‘I See You’, will be available with the rest of the songs on the project on iTunes on December 15th. ‘Avatar’ hits the big screen on December 18th.
For the first time time ever, Leona actually ‘saaang’ on a track! With powerful and unbridled vocals, the UK singer soars over the epic instrumental, seemingly leaving her inhibitions in the wind. Leona is definitely one of the most technically skilled vocalists to emerge in the industry for a very long time. However, a prime complaint from critics is that her voice is devoid of any emotion. Well, it’s safe to say that this time she shut. it. down.
Sidebar: Do you think that ‘I See You’ is Academy Award material or does Mary J Blige’s ‘I Can See In Color’ have it in the bag?
Miss man, sounds like something from a musical – its horrible! What the hell is she doing at the moment? her album is crap, this sounds crap. Technically she is a really good singer, but the bottom line is, she doesn’t have the vocal tone to carry a song off with any real emotion. She’s boring and is in danger of becoming the uk’s answer to Lisa Stansfield, rather than Mariah or Whitney.
I really like the track
and so happy to see something positiv about Leona here on my favorite music blog!
thanks
MEHHHH, BLAND!!! DEFINITELY NOT RADIO FRIENDLY AND AS A LEAD TRACK FOR SOUNDTRACK ALBUM??? HELL TO THE NAWWW. THEY PLAY THIS KIND OF TRACK AT THE CLOSING CREDITS. YEA, WHEN EVERYONE GETS OFF THEIR SEATS AND LEAVE THE THEATRE. SMH. NOTHING AMAZING ABOUT IT. MANY RNB SINGERS CAN DO THAT AND HAVE DONE THAT VOCAL STYLING, BIG FREAKIN DEAL. TRUE, SHE’S A TECHNICAL SINGER BUT SHE AINT GOT THE EMOTIONS TO PULL THIS OFF. WHITNEY IS ONE OF THE FEW TRUE EMOTIONAL SINGERS. SHE COULD GET PEOPLE TO CRY WITH THIS TRACK – NOT LEONA.
Are you kidding?No emotions at all!!Even though she has a beautiful voice there is nothing else!That’s why she’ll never come even close to Mariah’s ,Whitney’s or Mary J’s level!I can see in color shits all over this track and shows why Mary J is where she is…Poor Leona…
Omg! I seriously don’t understand what people are complaining about! woman SANGGG on this song (for once i agree with trent!) also, have any of you seen the trailer of avater? it fits the mood of the film!
Leona is by the far one of the best vocalist to come out of the UK in ages!
Trent are you deaf? This song is WACK
yeah im not really feeling this one…though i think it will b perfect for the movie…btw…did anyone catch the “Saw” sample at the end of the song lol
Fusion, is it bad it sounds like form musical? Dear God… amazing POP fans……. :/
Song is alright for movie. It sounds how it should. No more s***!!!
Vocally perfect.
I like her as a person, but her songs are boring. Trent made it worse by saying she SANG. Of course she can SANG, but the song itself lets her down time and time again.
boring , boring, boring, stop hyping this celine dion sound alike s***…
no disrespect to leona, but come with something with a little more soul- oh, I forgot, Clive is trying to make her the next whitney.
When she first came out I thought they were trying to make her the next Mariah Carey!!!!! Mariah “use” to sing the s*** out of a song, with adornment soul!! These artist now but only a few really project with passion in fire in there vocals!!! The girl can sing, but here music IMO is wayyyyyy to commercial!!
R&B is dead ya’ll for real!!!!
Mary has it in the bag !!
This is o.k though
WTf are y’all talking about. I find it funny how people will continue to support medicore singers like Rihanna and Lady gaga just because they have uptempo hits, but diss someone who clearly has a beautiful and soulful but pop voice. Leona Lewis has one of the best singing voices of our time. I wish people would stop being so critical on her. How many singers of today do you know don’t sell their a**/s** and remain classy and true to themselves? Leona can keep on doing what she does. She blows every pop singer of today out of the water when it comes to powerhouse vocals. Her tone is very smooth and clear also.
for the “first ” time ever?
stop hating!
C. I think its defo bad that it sounds like its from a musical, as musical theatre is pure shite and more to the point, she is a recording artist and should sing songs more relevant to radio etc. This song is awful, I don’t know what kinda trip trent was on when he posted this lol.
Sorry even though Leona is a strong vocalist this song is so boring.
Half of the singers out there can’t sing, but its Amazing to see a True Singer bring the Game to there knees with awe inspiring vocals.. let me guess you mutha fuckas think Rihanna or Britney can do better? This chick can fuckn sing.. She has an extremely powerful voice. Actually listen to her albums, and you’ll hear Greatness!
Oh and one other thing.. The music on alot of her albums straight up f***** sucks, and it makes the vocals sound confused..
I think the producers have been her biggest downfall!
Some Brits are really pathetic. They try to hype Leona as if she’s any closer to American superstars like Whit or MC. BTW, the song is alright so as Leona but I have to agree about the whole no-emotion thing.
It’s not her who sings without emotion, it’s that you all fail to connect to the song. It’s easy isn’t it, putting the problem with someone else? Maybe y’all need to grow up first before you listen to music with meaning. Go listen to ass grinding music or some Hard (rihanna).
face the facts, yes its true leona can sing her b*** off, but she is kinda boring. Sorry, it goes to show that you need more than just being a great singer to make it work in this business.
