Adele is still slaying with ballads, extra weight and the styling of a middle aged mum.
I loved bleeding love and the original video.... I actually still love it.
Leonas problem is the same as Arianas which is hype. They both were pushed and peddles as the next Whitney and Mariah but they just wasn't. This along with a few bad choices and (Leona at least) the road is ending. I find with both of them (except for bleeding love) that they lack passion and emotion and more often than not seem to be singing by numbers. I'm personally not sure if Leona can ever restart a career because she doesn't have the presence to pull off a catch basic pop song with an accompanying video. I think she should go the r&b route, get some adlib training and soulfulness, big name produces and an image overhaul and maybe she can impact the market again, but Leona as currently is is over.
