Leona Lewis Performs On ‘So You Think You Can Dance’

Published: Saturday 6th Feb 2010 by Trent

Leona Lewis made a guest appearance on the UK’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ recently. The singer performed ‘I Got You’, the 2nd single from her commercially disappointing ‘Echo’. The song has thus far peaked at #40 on the UK R&B charts.

Once again, Lewis delivered a strong vocal performance. However, in one of the rare moments in her career to date, she actually connected with the audience and exuded stage presence. I seems that she is finally coming into her own as an entertainer, bit by bit, inch by inch.

Thoughts?

    Love ya, excellent performance

  6. Alex February 6, 2010

    Leona is very consistent. She is always on point with her vocals and she is always bland & dry. There has been minimal growth in her stage presence since she was on X Factor.

  7. mez February 7, 2010

    she is performing like s he is still on X factoe

  8. Kyle February 7, 2010

    i’m surprised you didn’t compare her to cassie in this piece of “journalism”

  9. Sophia February 7, 2010

    Trent I swear you are more annoying than Sam! Her second album was a success in uk but did not do as well in the states! Get the bloody facts right! Also, u criticise rihanna and ciara for not being vocally any good, yet here we have a true vocalist and u take the p***! Has it EVA occurrd to u that diff artists have diff roles… I listen to ciara if o want somethin to dance to and a performance and listen to leona when I want to hear ballads! Sheesh!

    Not done well commercially? Echo has already sold 1 MILLION COPIES worldwide. Leona has outsold the awful Cheryl Cole, she’s already outsold Alexandra Burke and all off of one very average single.

  11. Sally February 7, 2010

    Leona is an established solo performer and she has a built in fanbase that is why she has sold more and not that much more albums at this stage than both Cheryl and Alex.Echo is now well out of the UK Top 40 while Alex’s Overcome is at No 25 and Cheryls is at 38 both selling consistently.Both Alex and Cheryl have killed Leona in singles sales and I think Happy has sold just a third of what Alexs Badboys and Cheryls Fight song did.

    SAM PLEASE COME BACK !!!! I cant stand Trent`s posts anymore.

  13. chelsie February 7, 2010

    Excellent performance. I really think this could be a big smash for her. Her vocals were on point, her presence was on point. Her outfit was on point.

    Cheryl has overachieved and has sold as much as she had because of sympathy. Ashley cheating was the best thing that ever happened to her.

  14. CC February 7, 2010

    She looked much more confident here than in most previous performances, and she looked like she had much more energry, and the crowd was really into the performance. Of course, she sounded great too, so overall I thought she did really well (for once).

  15. Clyde February 7, 2010

    The big difference between Leona and her competitors is that Leona has a beautiful voice.Cheryl is just a celebrity with no real talent who has built a career on her looks and having a cheating husband.Alex is really new to the buisness, I am sure she will have alot of success but she has just started.Leona is a star who takes her craft seriously and will have a long term career.

  16. Prince February 7, 2010

    Leona’s voice is Beautiful! Her performance was Great! She NEEDS 2 release CANT BREATHE as the next single in the U.S!

  17. antertain February 7, 2010

    Leona can SANG
    She done well & things can only get better.

    Very talented singer and deserves her place in the industry.

  18. Its my opinion February 7, 2010

  19. ROB February 7, 2010

  20. Mia February 7, 2010

    Classy, She looks hot and sounded pure. Please don’t compare to that ho a** Alexandra Burke. B**** can’t even sing to begin with. Just No!!.

  21. OWEN BROWNS February 7, 2010

    I WAS AT THE FILMING OF THIS, SHE DIDNT CONNECT WITH US THERE.. SHE WALKED OUT, SANG, AND WALKED OFF. IT WAS PRERECORDED BEFORE THE FIRST SHOW EVEN WENT OUT. SHE HAD TO SING IT TWICE COZ SOMETHING MESSED UP THE FIRST TIME. SHE WAS GOOD DNT GET ME WRONG. BUT SHE WAS STRANGE BEFORE AND AFTER THE PERFORMANCE. LIKE SHE WAS SCARED SHITLESS.

  22. Sam February 7, 2010

    Oh MIA/TOYA please have some self respect and try and develop some pride if it is at all possible.MIA IS REALLY TOYA FROM TOYS WORLD SHE HAS DEVELOPED A MAD HATRED FOR ALEX BECAUSE AS OLD AND UGLY AS SHE IS SHE IS IN LOVE WITH MARVIN AND IS A PYSCHO JLS STAN.She goes to as many Alex forums as she can pretending to be other people and even posting on her own site.She will always pretend to be American but knows every Alex chart position, itunes result internationally.Toya is really sick.

  23. chelsie February 7, 2010

    Um Mia, you really are deluded! I wish If only the non singers could sing like Alex.
    I know that voice type is subjective but technical ability isn’t. Alex also isn’t a h** or an a**?

  24. Sam February 7, 2010

    Ignore MIa/Toya she suffers from a serious mental illness.You would think she was 12 years old and thougt one of JLS was going to marry her.She is considered a joke.The funny thing is she uses the same line on every Alex forum.Both Leona and Alex have great voices and it is incredible that the X-factor could feature singers of such high calibre.

  25. Mia February 7, 2010

    She’s a home wreckin h**. B**** stole the husbands of 2 girls before she even hit 20. All those stories were coming out in 08. Secondly, she can’t sing. Her voice is toneless and way below average. She can’t hit those high notes with ease or vibrato. She just screams and strains her average vocal chords. LeLe shouldn’t even be put in the same sentence as that thing. She’s a flop, Leona is a STAR.

  26. chelsie February 7, 2010

    There is no such thing as no tone btw and everyone has a vibrato.. I think its stupid trying to talk about Alex’s technical abilities with you as you CLEARLY hate her so much that it is clouding your judgement… way below average indeed. You are an idiot. And a loon.

    Yes there were stories in the NOTW but thats all there were. Alex has already explained the situation and had split with the men because if it – she was duped hence why she says she cannot trust another man romatically because she has been lied to and used. If there was any homewrecker, it would have been the men.. altho it wouldn’t surprise me if these stories had been cooked up by the ‘husband and wife’.

    Because then her ‘ex’ then lied and tried to sell a fictitious s** tape, then went to The Voice and tried to state that he was stitched up and tried to jokingly sell a hypothetical tape -his words.

    Her other ex tried to sell the same story but was caught out in a lie, and even when she was on TXF tried to get back with her but rebuffed, he began stalking her and broke in to her home to attack her… Alex was moved to a new flat. FACT!!!

    Mia, please dont talk about stuff you know absolutely NOTHING about..

  27. chelsie February 7, 2010

    And Alex isn’t a flop btw Mia. Having 2 huge singles and an album approaching 600k and still selling, and both Hallelujah and Bad Boys and Broken Heels charting highly in Europe this year, doesn’t a flop make.

    Also Alex is a friend of Leona’s and Leona will call you out on that mess. Oh and if you don’t believe me about the ‘supposed homewreckin’ I will point you in the direction of several people in the know.

    I do love leona tho.

  28. Ben February 7, 2010

    Toya/Mia get a grip you are crazy and stop pretending to be American and yet you know all about Alex.Toya you are fooling no one.Your hatred for Alex is patheric just because your sister cannot get a record deal because she is as talentless and ugly as you.Why are you trying to ruin Alex’s reputation seek help and try and show some class.Everyone online knows it is you.Grow up

  29. Mia February 7, 2010

    Sorry, she’s a h**. She never denied being with married men that got kids. She knew it aswell. No point in arguing, really. Thats just the way she gets down. Vocally, shes very weak. That’s another fact. She screams & strains to hit notes, has no idea where to add runs, weak vibrato, flat masculine tone. Anyone with any knowlegde of vocals will tell you the same thing including Leona. Her album dropped 5 months ago and she barely made it over 500K = flop.No one rates her, really. The Brits snubbed her, everything is about JLS. They’re also going to beat her in breaking the US market. LMAO. That stranger b**** will be left biting their dust yet again. Dang they just can’t let her get some shine. Poor boo boo.

  30. Ben February 8, 2010

    MIA/TOYA-Please stop humiliating yourself as old as you are, yes everything is about JLS FOR DESPERATE OLD WOMEN AND T*** STANS.Alex’s album Overcome dropped late October and has sold 532, 000 copies get your dates and figures right.She has sold nearly 2 million sngles, far more than JLS.She is currenly No 6 in Sweden, No 13 in Norway, No 11 in Finland ,No 12 in Belgium and Switzerland, No 19 in Holland and No 27 in Austria, nO 25 AND 35 in Bulgaria she will enter the German Top 40 this week, please tell me where are JLS in Europe.She is the Latin American MTV performer of the Month.Read it and weep you pathetic troll.

  31. Mia February 8, 2010

    JLS album ~ 1015000
    Her album ~ 523000

    2nd single peaked very, very low. even the defunct Sugababes managed a higher peak.
    Anyone can get into the European market. Italy and France don’t want the s*** she’s selling. She also flopped in Australia LMAO. Shes dropping everywhere else. If she can’t shift albums in her own country she got NO CHANCE in hell selling anywhere else. You know damn well JLS will own Europe in 2 seconds flat. Their song is already getting airplay in the US. The label are holding her back now and not sending her song to radio because she’s trailing off in Europe + flopping album = getting dropped after album 2 sells even less than what she did now LMAO.

  32. Sam February 8, 2010

    Oh grow up Toya/Mia you are a sad poor excuse for a person keep letting your hatred of Alex eat away at you we are all having a good laugh at your expense.JLS had 5 different album covers that is why they sold so many.JLS have had no hits in Europe and will have no hits in America.Broken Heels had been in the charts for 7 weeks before it reached No 8 so stop lying again.95 percent of British acts do not make it in Eurpe again stop lying.Bad Boys is at No 11 on the Australian physical singles chart and has not had an official release in Australia.Alex has a 5 album deal with Epic in America stop talikng trash you are embarrasing yourself but you are still very funny.Give it up Toya we all know it is you who else is stalking Alex.

  33. Mia February 8, 2010

    Its the beginning of the end for her. Radio 1 dropped her single a week after release and they ain’t going to support her anymore. All their influential DJ’s trashed her. Now the b**** is trying to drum up some publicity by going to Haiti. She’ll stoop that low to sell albums, we all know she doesn’t give a f*** about anyone ..she dropped her “best friend” Ruth like a brick. TBH she deserves the floppage coming her way hahaha. JLS sold more because they are better, pure & simple. Ain’t nobody want to hear or look at that man looking thing anymore, her time is well and truly up.

  34. Sam February 8, 2010

    Toya/mia you are sick and you are not American no American would know everything there is to know about Alex.No Radio 1 DJ has ever trashed Alex and it is a shame that you are so deluded that your sad life revolves around Alex but it gives her fans something to laugh about.You need therapy and a mental health expert to deal with your sickness.Keep obsessing about Alex her life will keep getting bigger and better and yours will stay on the streets.Although I may have it wrong you probably want to kill Alex because Marvin from JLS likes her and said he would like to marry her.Even if you are a Leona fan I Got You is two weeks away from release and is on the Radio 1 C list and No 63 on itunes.
    TROLL KEEP BEING A LOSER IT SUITS YOU

    Leona was great- thanks for sharing it again!!

  36. Triev February 8, 2010

    She sound beautiful and all but, her performance looked like a rehearsal… 🙁 She’s a natural beauty but, she some how manage to look…plain. She don’t dance or anything so, her performance is reminiscent of watching Mariah in rehearsal.
