Leona Lewis in the Live Lounge

  • Jo Whiley
  • 7 Nov 07, 01:15 PM

Leona was in on Wednesday and she was, as expected a real sweetheart to talk to and her voice - as expected was phenomenal. She'd brought in a whole host of musicians and a bit of a choir which stretched us to our limits so she had to switch studios to fit everyone in…

Seconds before she came on air - we were ogling at the posh pics of her in Harpers Bazaar where she is wearing the most incredible posh dresses lying in the waves and climbing rock faces….hardly practical…but she told us one of the dresses she's wearing is the very same dress that Sarah Jessica Parker wears for her wedding in the upcoming Sex and The City movie…

Anyway the performance - well it was great - and people did cry - somewhere a child was born and a planet imploded, probably. Covers are always tricky - Leona did Snow Patrol's Run - and as emotional as it was - I still think you can't beat Gary Lightbody's vocals. Anyway - have a listen and look again...

    Hey Jo, I listened again to Leona and then got my mum to listen and it really was just magic. I loved Leona's cover of Snow Patrol, but nothing beats the orginial - V 2007!!! Leona deserves all the recognition and love she's finally getting, and I'm so glad we have our own sophisticated diva for the generations who missed the power of the Spice Girls! Just beautifully magic :D

    What an amazing voice. Not just another X-Factor drone, someone with real soul and a heart for music.

    Anyone know if I can download Leona's version of Run from anywhere? Want it all legal and above board, but can't find it!

    Most livelounge covers are good but leona blew me away. She sings with an emotional power surpassing opera and a tone/range that is simply awe-inspiring. As she shot down any critics of her voice I couldnt help feeling I was witnessing the start of a huge global career. PLEASE get it released - I need that song in my life !.

    Hi,

    Where can we get this song from?

    As the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is funded by the Public, is this not something we can download?

    i have listened many times to both now and it really does knock spots off the original not that wasn't brilliant

    I've just started listening to radio 1 and have heard Leona sing 'Run'.... Wow what can i say, it could almost have been written for her. It'd be a shame if she didn't release it, children in need should have used it for their charity song for the year.... (not saying anything). Well done to you and well done to her...

    Looked and looked for the link to Leona Lewis cover of Run to no avail WHY O WHY is there not a link

    I think the original 'Run' by Snow patrol was brilliant. However, listening to Leona Lewis cover this song was so unlike many other covers I have heard before. It was so moving and could have so been written for her - how does Leona convey so much emotion in that voice of hers?? So few artists have the ability to make me cry, but listening to Leona singing this song made me sob like a baby. I am so disappointed this is not available to listen to other than on Radio 1 as it is just so truly gorgeous.
