Leona Lewis' career is over. Some facts:

1) She has never toured outside the UK

What the hell?! This is the biggest problem. Why hasn't she toured outside of the UK? She was meant to be a global superstar, but that's not going to happen if she doesn't gig in other countries.

2) Her latest singles have been covers

That "no song is sacred" speech are words spoken by a typical hack, who would rather ride on the success of others.

3) Adele, Florence + The Machine, Lena Del Rey

Look, I don't really need to add anything more to this one.

4) Fickle Fans

Her fans are mostly made up of the fickle audience of Saturday night TV viewers, who are only interested in getting on board until something better comes along. This is not how you create a sustainable fan base - you need to start small and organically grow it.

5) X-Factor

She's a product a of talent show, which basically makes her a corporate puppet. Right now, Lewis is showing to have been a poor investment and a red-hot brick, one that will be dropped very, very soon.

Her third album will be her last. After that, she will announce that she is taking a break from music for a few years. She'll release the odd song here and there, and then retire and open a horse sanctuary.

Frankly, the sooner the better.
