Leona Lewis Comes To Life At ‘Rock In Rio’

Published: Monday 24th May 2010 by Trent

It’s a Christmas miracle in May! Leona Lewis performed a full concert at ‘Rock In Rio’ in Lisbon this weekend and, for what was probably the first time in her career, her stage presence was just as exciting as her voice! The singer performed a long list of tracks for the sold-out venue including ‘Bleeding Love’, ‘Take A Bow’, ‘Run’, ‘I Got You’ and ‘Bleeding Love’. Lewis is expected to kick-off her ‘Labrynth’ on May 28th and will share the stage with Christina Aguilera on her tour this summer in the US.

Is mini-Mariah Carey Lewis finally having her ‘Butterfly’ moment? Check out the performances below and you be the judge:

‘Bleeding Love’

‘Take A Bow’

‘Brave’

‘Better In Time’

‘Love Letter’

‘Happy’

‘I Got You’

‘Run’

Thoughts?

    Are you f****** kidding me? I was there, I was so excited to see her and she did this s*** to me, I never really liked her albums but I love her voice and I really think she could be like the Queen Mariah but she wont get there with these performances, smh

    Leona Killed that Song.

    Glad to see more confidence ooozing out of her.
    Shows her progression

    Good Job LL

    WOW! stunning. though her voice wasnt that great…maybe its the quality of the clip….

  8. MACartist May 24, 2010

    I knew she was gonna break outta her shell, keep it up Leona, I been rooting for you since you first burst on the scene. The first UK artist I really love.

  9. OB May 24, 2010

    Okaaaay Leona! You finally got someone to break your hymen (pop ya cherry) and give it to you real good. Get it

    OMG, SOOO hot. Yesterday I saw a hot her video on ” B la ck BBW Cup id. Co m ” which is a bbw and bhm dating site. In this video she has a very hot s*** wear and a cool hairstyle.

    Alexandra Burke >>>>>>> Leona

    I’m sorry folks but she just bores the hell out of me. She’s got an amazing voice though. I hope she works on her stage presence and changes my mind.

  12. Martin May 24, 2010

    Leona totally rocked, I was shocked, I don’t know what she’s been up to but I hope she keeps doing it, plenty of up tempo songs on the set list.

    She really did rock the crowd, Naked and Better in time were fantastic.

    JR ive got spare tickets to her gig at the o2 arena on june 14th they are brilliant floor seats. pm if you want em. email: umut_bektas@msn.com

  14. Anon May 24, 2010

    YAWN!!!! Oh my. Y’all must be extra hard up for somebody to be big in the UK. This girl is so frustrating! She has all the goods, but she puts me to sleep! Lewis is extra BORING to listen to and to watch. She doesn’t have to cartwheel and bootyshake all over the stage, but give me some life, put some pep in your step. Damn! Even Corrine Bailey Rae gives me more than this.

  15. Dev May 24, 2010

    Sorry, Leona is a good singer but not a great one and these clips prove it. Nice that after all these years she got her groove on but the performance is still that of an artist who has been in the game for 20 years. she needs to step it up or step out

  16. Boricua May 24, 2010

    She’ll never have a Butterfly moment until she starts writing her own songs…

  17. lalalalalala May 24, 2010

    So nice to see her come out of her comfort zone and be herself. So nice to see her connecting with the audience as well.

  18. Robert May 24, 2010

    WTF that s*** was BORING as hell. I can’t even get through it all. Her career is DONE in the US we dont want that s***! Next!

  19. Mike May 24, 2010

    This is nothing compared to what her tour will be like. 😉

    But yes, this is what she needed. She really needed this stage presence. She looked more comfortable and confident out there. And haters can f*** off.

    And Can’t Breathe was amazing especially that 12 second note she held.

    And @Boricua, Leona co-wrote almost every song on her last album and had the leading credit for them.

    And finally @Last Boy on Earth? Seriously. You’re a Rihanna fan but yet sit there and judge other artist’s stage presence? LMAO.

  20. HUSHBITCH May 24, 2010

    YASSSSSSSSSSSS LEONA THESE PERFROMANCES ARE GIVING ME EVRYTHING I NEED, THE STAGE PRESENSE IS THERR HUNNY! WEERKK!

  21. Teflon Boy May 24, 2010

    Now that is what I’ve been waiting for…, of course not fully there yet plus the low sound quality of the clip but it’s a great indication that she is capable of bringing so much more to the table. I was personally worried she didn’t have it in her. Now that her confidence has finally come, just watch her bloom.

    NB. Oh and @OverTheHedge, that ‘Can’t Breathe’ performance was amazing…, probably better than the videos above:)

    l love leona she is just amazing i love all her songs i really like one of the leaked songs called majic touch she sounds so soulful as a shy person she can only grow with experience and surport from all her fans cant wait to see her in concert

  23. dyndyn May 24, 2010

    wow…i kind of enjoyed this! (even though i didn’t think she sang enough on some songs) but the girl actually took the mic off the stand and walked and smiled and itneracted like she knew there was a crowd there. i’m impressed. maybe it’s all that rehearsing for the xtina a tour that’s given her the push she needs. awesome…i hated seeing such a great voice being trapped inside a blow-up doll. get it girl =)

  24. Blippo May 25, 2010

    Brilliant. She’s definitely stepped up her game.

    !!!

  25. John USA May 25, 2010

    Why is it that some people feel the need to knock people down. If you don’t like her then don’t listen to her. Why bash, nobody likes a hater!

    I personally think she is both beautiful on the outside as on the in, and I could listen to her sing all day long..

    Keep it going Leona. We love ya!

  26. kiara August 17, 2010

    cooooooooooooooooooooolll!!!! i loved to be there!
