Spirit by Leona Lewis

Pros: That voice, generally strong production, no hip hop collaborations.
Cons: Will it sell 'across the pond'? Ballad heavy.

Do you remember where you were when you first heard Whitney? Do you remember where you were when you first heard Mariah? How about Christina?I do and I will always be able to remember where I was when I first heard Leona Lewis. ...

Pros: First couple of tracks on the CD and even that is a stretch.
Cons: The album has no soul, no personality.

Pros: Leona Lewis is talented and has a great voice; a few wonderful ballads...
Cons: ...a lot of the album blends together, a bit too unoriginal

I've never been a big fan of most pop-music Divas.  I'm sure you know what I mean when I say that- I don't own any Celine Dion CDs, I'm not a huge Whitney Houston fan, I don't like Beyonce's voice at all,  and though I used to love Mariah Carey ...

Pros: "Bleeding Love" is a decent single, and parts of the vocal deliveries are enjoyable.

Pros: A handful of meticulously crafted, hooky pop songs.
Cons: No soul. Cringe-inducing ballads.

Pros: The girl has pipes, her voice do things most of only dream of.
Cons: She sounds too much like Mariah Carey. So much it is almost eerie.

I heard of Leona Lewis, winner of Britian’s X Factor (a variation of American Idol), a few months ago. So a day or so before he album dropped I decided to see what I could find on YouTube. I was blown away when I saw her performances. Her voice is ...

Pros: Excellent vocals, a few breathtaking songs, good showcase of emotion and personality.
Cons: Too many ballads, some songs too generic.

I was first exposed to Leona Lewis by watching many of her "X-Factor" performances on youtube and was absolutely blown away. I couldn't wait to hear her perform some original songs. Upon listening to "Spirit," it is clear that she possesses one of the ...
