Guest Hafo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 What this single is about... "On 10 December 'What A Wonderful World', a duet by Eva Cassidy and Katie Melua, is released. Available exclusively through Tesco, all profits from sales of the single will benefit the British Red Cross, the 2007 Tesco Charity of the Year. Soaring high on the success of her latest album Pictures, Katie recorded the duet alongside her idol, the late singer Eva Cassidy, in a unique version of the Louis Armstrong classic 'What A Wonderful World'. As part of the Tesco Charity of the Year partnership, all Tesco profits from the sale of the single will be donated to the British Red Cross. 'What A Wonderful World' is set to be a Christmas favourite. It is only available in Tesco stores and on download at Tesco.com from 10 December 2007." --- Oh wouldn't it be SWEET if this song stops the X-Factor winner?

Riverwide Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 The first single from her album was really rather gorgeous. "If You Were A Sailboat" I think it was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yes but the latest one makes a nice change as it's possibly her first single where she's not singing about being in love with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hafo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 For our Kylie chart tracking visitors: X is no longer in the Top 10 (but very close), single is Top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hafo Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ha! I saw QB's reaction coming from across the Irish Sea Single sales are at their LOWEST for this season EVER. I think that's an indirect effect of the X-Factor, no one wants to compete against it so fewer worthy releases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oh, at least Leona won't be a Christmas number one. The song is NOT that good to be so many weeks there. And a big OUCH! at Kylie!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverwide Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I adore some of her songs but the way she swoops up to almost every note sometimes grates... Well I do know what you mean, but I guess that's just her style of singing. I think her voice is incredibly pretty and unmistakable, so ultimately I admire that.

It's only the swooping bit that *sometimes* annoys - when she hits the note bang in the middle it's absolutely beautiful... And she's gorgeous looking too.

Guest FuckBuddy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oh wouldn't it be SWEET if this song stops the X-Factor winner? it would fantastic if ANY song -yes, even soulja boy- could stop this travesty that takes place in the past few years and has spoiled the excitement of christmas charts.

Is it true she's a big ol' lezzer? I read last year that she was living with an older woman who was her lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering how this song suddenly appeared. Will listen out for it now as I dont recall ever hearing it yet. Are there any sales updates yet as this will either help explain why X has dropped to 11: 1. High sales all round 2. Close sales for all outside top 2 3. Severe drop in sales = flop 3rd week Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroco Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 some figures for the albums: leona almost 60k kylie 13,246 Oh, just saw this. Similar to last weeks figures. Think she was on 14.5k though. Will probably finish the week with another 50-55k then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FuckBuddy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 some figures for the albums: leona almost 60k kylie 13,246 hardly surprising news. boring people have always been including lame music to their predictable list of crap gifts. ...and there's kylie, of course, who's doin just fine under the circumstances. she's on course to have another week of 50k+ sales and next week will probably sell A LOT more.

franxisco66 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Calling Leona Lewis "talentless" is a bit much, isn't it? You don't have to like her or her music to realise that she has a very good voice. This is a music forum and we all have different opinions and tastes, which is what makes it interesting. Maybe Katie Melue doesnt have the same powerful voice, but she has created a personal style that people identify. I cant say the same about Leona. Her songs are just average love teenage songs. What is sad is that people are rushing to buy her music just because it was on x-factor, and don't tell me that it is not true because every single X-factor winner gets a direct number 1. Luckily for us though, they dont last for long, because every year there is a new winner and their fans can't afford to buy them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not up for debate or discussion. It's a fact. You don't have to like her or her songs, but you stated that she was "talentless", which is an untruth. I have very little interest in her, and would far prefer Katie Melua, but Leona Lewis can sing well. Singing well is a talent. Therefore Leona Lewis is not talentless.

She has a good voice, I could like her if she chose another style, but I dont like the way she sings. I am not the only one. I know many people who can't really listen to her. And the music doesn't help, it is just unbereable, Bleeding Love is acceptable, but the rest of the album is the worse I have heard this year.
