GUESS WHO: GETTING HANDCUFFED IN NYC
Saturday, December 20, 2008

Guess who was spotted getting handcuffed on the New York City streets on Friday night? Hint: She’s a singer.

It’s Leona Lewis! Don’t worry, she was taping a scene for her upcoming music video, “I Will Be.” The pop rock ballad was co-written by Avril Lavigne.

Never would have guessed it was her. I was thinking what damage could a singer be doing to get caught up by one time.

I knew it was her, saw clips of the vid. She’s too nice to be handcuffed for real
#11 How is she a ‘big’ girl. She’s normal size. U could say Queen Latifah was ‘big’ or ‘thick’ . people have some messed up ideas of whats big or not. smh
16.
Ummm

Oh…hey Mr. Police Officer *grins*
But this doesn’t seem to go with the song so I’m interested to see what will happen here.

This is the best she’s looked in like forever.
I hear there’s this other UK chick who won that same show over there, and she’s supposed to be even better singer than Leona!

SHE IS PREGGERS!!!
Saturday, December 20, 2008 /
SHE IS PREGGERS!!!! MOST IN THE INDUSTRY KNOW IT!!!!
This is reason for this look……to cover it up, she is thicker now all over!!! due to the pregnancy!!!.
Another blogged mentioned it some time ago and it was mention on tv. Not a rumor, check out her older pics if you think I am lying.

I thought it was M.I.A by hair. Go LeonA! I love her! Leona is the X-factor winner the American Idol version in UK. She is often compared to Mariah because Vocally they both are a beast. But I’ll always rock with Mariah anyday!
Cant wait to hear it and see it!
09 will be a good year
Usher Monica Ciara Leona Letoya 50 Jay Z all coming back!

honestly thought it was beyonce, or some random artist being arrested.
she does look extremely boring and avril lavigne is crap!
28.

Saturday, December 20, 2008 /
Beyonce literally has NOTHING to do with this. She wasn’t the first one to have the police in her video. Anyway Avril Lavigne. Really? I still love Leona though.
PS “The City is at War” By Cobra Starship is 2373X better at the cop theme .

Leona is definitely looking thicker these days, thats not a bad thing at all. Not sure why Avril is doing any writing fot this girl though, next thing youll have Lil Man-ma jumping around in her video remix.

Leona and Alex are totally different type of singers . I wouldnt say Alex is better, just different. It’s like saying, which voice type do u prefer, Mariah/Whitney ( back in the day)/ Celine Dion or Toni Braxton/Beyonce/Jazmine Sullivan. I like both personally but there u go.

yea whatever
Saturday, December 20, 2008 /
Leona’s hair is looking raggedy…I guess she wears weaves and tracks during her performances. I never knew that…I always thought those cascades of long, thick curls were her actual hair…..NEVERMIND. Everyone wears weaves…case closed. I’ve actually become a big fan since the “Better in Time” single…love that song.

i looove that song…..cant wait to see the vid….i dont think leona is boring at all….i actually like that she doesnt feel the need to steal dance moves, girate on stage in a leotard, flick blonde lace front wigs all over the place or prematurely make claims that shes an icon like a certain “entertainer” that keeps getting mentioned by her obsessed stans that hate to see someone else get a little shine……

WOW. I was wondering why homegirl was getting arrested. Not like her at all. Not too keen on this song, but maybe it will grow on me. The video looks interesting.
@ #45- Go check out her real hair on the X Factor live shows. Stop talking like she has no hair. And yes, all stars today wear weaves, extensions etc.
50.
Haters Fall Back....Cici's the hottest chick in the game!!!
Saturday, December 20, 2008 /
THATS HER REAL HAIR U MORON!!!
Can’t wait for the Video and her new album!!

first everyone was saying how she was trying to mimick mariah with her whole hitting that high note buiness.
now everyones saying shes trying to be like beyonce.
people always need a point of reference whenever anyone new comes out on the scene, when it really shouldnt be the case. ANYWAYS i dont even know why im preaching and I dont even like this girl no way.
Her songs are good though. Cant even lie, Bleeding Love was my jam all spring.
54.
let's not lie
Saturday, December 20, 2008 /
she wears extensions sometimes like every other female in the industry. anyway i like the eye makeup but she still looks weird to me. and i’m not a fan of her music. too formulaic and i still think her voice is boring. can she sing? yes but i don’t think she’s as great as simon tried to make her out to be

Yes Alexandra Burkewas the one that won Xfactor this year in the UK. Personally i think its like ice cream or strawberry cheesecake.depends which one suits your taste buds. I think Leona has made it acrossed the pond and so. Making it inAmerica,number 1 album.internationally.Europ ly she has done well. we already have many female singers so well see if she can break through.maybe make it in america. her first single is named Hallelujah.but leona voice can hit every note. alexandra and her are quite different, i would say alex is more soulful. she is brilliant and a fighter. she sang with Beyonce in the finals.I was rooting for JLS because we need a boy group ion UK they were more urban i would say. very talent very,and attractive.check them up. but i guess the will get a record deal and get signed. they have a major fan base.

Those of you who don’t think Leona has a great voice REALLY need to go listen to some of her other material. This girl has a 4 1/2 octave vocal range, and she can hit that whistle register. THAT is talent, and it’s a lot more than any of these so called singers today can claim.

Leona is freaking awesome! Her album is fantastic! For those who dont know any better, it might be in ur best interest to listen to her stuff. I can’t wait for the video, not necessarily my fav song on the cd, but its still a good song!

Everyone doesn’t have the same ear for music. We are entitled to our opinions yall stans be busy forcing unwanted artist on somebody. Personally I think she is a average singer I am not moved by her at all to buy her cd. Next she is an average looking woman nothing wrong with average either. So please ppl stop forcing your personal opinions down other ppl’s views.
