MUSIC VIDEO: LEELA JAMES – “TELL ME YOU LOVE ME”

B-O-R-I-N-G

First time hearing and seeing this singer. I would never match the face with voice. Anyhow it’s a nice song.

Why does she sing like that?

And why does Oprah come to mind when I see her face?

This is an illumnati concept of bringing the darkness in the camera to fulfill the sacrifice of the 70s image of the slave girl who submits to ogling and repression. Check the leather restraint detailed in the jacket and gloves and the explosion of hair descriptive of the funk of years of soul-giving and seances. I have spoken.

this wat up

SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT ABOUT HER FACE…SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT ABOUT HER APPEARANCE

#1, wha do you want, her to have a revealing dress and bend over liek beyonce to spread her legs and do the wop so she can be marketable? it’s talent that gets overshadowed today in favor of sexualized manners. even leela was not in this way last time out, she was all about funk wahteverneo soul shyt. now we see her in teh tired’pshoto shoot’ with a model and ‘glammed up’ for the purpose of endearing her to society who is spoiled on ANTM episodes. mistake that sngie stone recently made. i understand evolution but this whole sophomore album -meets-girl=playing dress-up theme is getting old and seems forced on certain artists.

great voice. but more than likely will fall into the devil’s triangle of jill scott/ angie/ etc where rihannas and beyonces and lady gagas succeed for shock value and ass jiggling.

@6 she has gotten a nose job, I looked at an older picture of her her nose is more refined now.

I immediately recognized that she had some work done

she doesnt even look the same, im not even sure the nose job was necessary or beneficial. and her weave is ’80′s reckless **thumbs down**

but i still apreciate her voice fortunately

yaaaaay I am such a fan of her music’s not this video though.. but her 1st cd is indeed a banga and I love her hair.. if only.. hwvr I am not a fan of these pop up ads they really are irritating.

I Hate the fact that she got a nose job. She was so pretty. Why do stars think that its ok the change their faces when they get a little money. OMG!

She sounds like Joss Stone

Luv her voice, hate the new image!

Haven’t seen her in a while. I like her music, but this song doesn’t do it for me. It’s not a good single.

I remember her the speaking voice and the singing voice dont match at all

YYYY???!!! Why are these black women “defining” their beautiful noses?!(Pepa, Latoya, Kim!!!) *dead*

PS she does look like Oprah now

I thought I was the only person who seen something different about Leela. I think her team is forcing her to be more glam this time around because she was not like this way the first time around.

Good song though

Her nose job is terrible. I hope she kept the receipt so she can get her money back.

She is wack to me and she needs to learn to love herself.

her last album was the shit ppl has been sleeping on this girl.
if adel, amy crackhouse and other white girl sing like this they get all the media attention

she did look like oprah but shes been out for some time… her song music and tonight is the night (have a good time) was good…. she look waaaaaay better without all of that make up someones trying to change her look and its not looking good at all… she can really sing

She looks different, it must be the new nose. I always thought she looked like Oprah

Her speaking voice is so high pitched and squeaky. The song is okay, but the video is boring. Hopefully, the next single is better.

Damn! I thought I was TRIPPING when I saw her face lol. I LOVE Leela but WTF?! This video is not what’s up lol. Love the song tho & can’t wait for the new album!!! @ the new face.

I thought the song was nice until she started speaking; they could’ve left that out. I’m not feeling the video, it is boring and lacked originality. I love real artist and don’t need the booty-poppin videos but, for this song it could’ve been taken in another direction.

Very bad decision when it came to the nose job. I mean a person can do what they want, but the nose she was born with was much prettier than this new one. But if she likes it; I love it.

The song is cool, the photographer is hot and yes, yes, she looks like Oprah.

i hate the way she sings and yeah she got a nose job-she was prettier before

I like this.

i just looked at old pics of leela….so sad that she didn’t see the beauty that was already there…her nose was perfect before….it really complimented her pretty brown face….now she looks like a drag queen….

people really have NO idea that they posses great beauty. They just obsess over the beauty they wish they had. and for her to raise that black fist when she tried to erase her blackness feels like a gross contradiction…

so sad….

and looks like she got a boob job too.

yassssssssssss!!

This is exactly what I needed in my life. Some Leela James! Her voice is amazing and her music is the truth. I saw her in concert back when she first came out and she rocked the show.

I’m excited for her new material.

@ #7 JENELLE !
No, it’s not what i want, i just wanna be entertained ! And this single and this video are B-O-R-I-N-G to me.

I like it but I can’t match her face and style with her voice.Her voice is more soulful….and she should have a better look going on.Not trashy but a look that says…this is me.I like the song but not the video!

#32 perhaps you need to be listening to pop

OPRAH!!

DIDNT LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG. BUT I HAVE HEARD OF HER BEFORE. HER VOICE SOUNDS NICE AND SHE IS PRETTY.

Lol @ these comments.

OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Noone can tell me she is not related to Oprah

this is an idiot!! this chick got a freaking nose job? and for what? I only listened to 32seconds of the song..that is all i could stand. Why do these artist continue to sample from other eras? When is todays artist going to realize you can not duplicate the past to get something new in the present!!!! It just doens’t happen that way. I am very dissapointed in lela james she fell for the okey doke game. ” look more marketable and we will market you more”.. Idiot we will never here this on the radio it sounds too dated and un original. this is sad on so many levels because the producers that produced this track don’t know what to do with her as a vocalist! ( no disrepect ms. james but this is a major fail) Next time listen to your own heart and please stay out of the plastic surgeons office. you were much prettier before the cutting down of your nose and shortening its width. so sad will not be buying this album or bootlegging it.

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF WEAK MINDED PEOPLE GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND OUT GOOD VIBRATIONS AND FREQUENCY TO THE MASSES. THIS SONG AND SO SO MANY OTHERS ARE JUST PLAIN BORING OR LAME(NO DISRESPECT) I HONESTLY DON’T THINK THAT THE PRODUCERS , ENGINEERS, SONGWRITERS, KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THEY GET INTO THE STUDIO! THE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT MAKING OR PRODUCING MUSIC FOR EVERY ONE.. IT SEEMS SO SELFISH . AND TO BE HONEST IF MS. LELA WAS REALLY REAL ABOUT HER STUFF THEN SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE FALLEN FOR A NOSE JOB OR WHAT EVER ELSE SHE HAS GOING ON. TRUTH NEVER LIES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SHE WAS VERY IMPRESSIONABLE EVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF HER CAREER TO BE SEEN. UNFORTUNATELY FOR BROWN SKINNED FEMALE ARTIST YOU HAVE TO BE MORE THAN YOUR COUNTERPARTS… AND YOU MOST DEFINETLY HAVE TO BE AUTHENTIC AND CAN SING AND DELIVER THE SONG PERFECTLY…… (SIGH) SMH

WHY IS MY COMMENT AWAITING MODERATION? SMH

@ #12…no sweetheart, joss stone sounds like her. she was out way before joss stone was it’s just that because joss stone is white with a “black girl” sound she was more marketable i guess-kind of like two for one you get the white girl look ad the soulful sound all in one…i’ve always loved leela “music” is what really caught my ear then i listened to her albums and was blown away! she should have done way better than she did obviously poor marketing….as for her appearance, whatever…we don’t know why she had a nose job…could have been for selling purposes or she may have had a medical reason (car accident – maybe she broke it) as to why she needed to have her nose altered..those things do still happen
