I think it's not exactly her singing, as everyone is saying, she can sing, "they've seen her soar higher," so to me it seems it's the song, it sounds like a ballad?? Reformatted so to speaks, I think Leona wants to make music that is powerful like her role models (Whitney Houston & Marian Carey used to), but she missed the part in the song where she could've taken it there, for me it was a hit or miss, and she missed it, this however is a better Leona musically, although she hasn't had a shady past it's all a bit safe.
