Talk:Leona Lewis

AfD (no longer in effect)

This article was nominated for deletion on 9 October 2006 . The result of the discussion was redirect to The X Factor UK and Ireland series 3.

I request users not to remove or redirect this article as Leona is not non-notable as she has already recorded a debut album and has worked with professionals to create songs which can be found on the internet from which Leona has a small fanbase. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ansildrall (talk • contribs)

She did record an album but she did not release it and was not signed to a record label. She still fails WP:MUSIC at the moment. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Screeching Style

It says she is known for her 'screeching style', but she doesn't screech...Tobzhooli 09:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

She's also known for her Mr Belding style. 86.162.196.41 19:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Leona Lewis won!

On December 16, 2006, Leona Lewis won The X Factor UK and Ireland series 3, and her page is no longer a redirect but a full (and legitimate) article; see it for other reasons of notability. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 22:08, 17 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Eh? We know that. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Noted here to avoid any unfortunate misunderstandings, such as someone who doesn't know that coming along, looking at the above AfD summary, thinking the article should still be a redirect, making it so again, and then fully protecting it from all these "vandals" who've made it a full article instead. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 04:25, 18 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Oh yeah, of course, cos I said she wasn't notable. Of course, at the time, she wasn't. But she is now! — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 09:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced

There are a lot of unsourced claims towards the end of the article, could someone please provide references. Also, how can the single be listed (in the table) as having reached N^o 1 when the charts haven't even been complied yet? I know it is almost certain to, but it reads like it already has. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 21:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Following the blue "IE" link above the number "1" on the chart brings you to the Irish Singles Chart article, where an external link points to http://www.irma.ie/aucharts.asp — which at the moment is for the week ending 21st December 2006, and lists Leona's song at #1. So (a) it's true, and (b) it's verifiable by following the links provided. But it's good that you're alert to issues of sourcing! – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 06:29, 23 Dec 2006 (UTC).

The comment from GW Simulations was posted before Leona reached number 1 in Ireland; someone had said on the article that she was number 1 in the UK. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I was commenting on This version of the article. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 12:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, we'll find out today if she is number one for Christmas :) — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 13:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

British or English

It would seem there is some dispute, including a number of reverts, over whether she should be called "British" or "English". Personally, I would favour "British", however I would like to open a discussion on this before a revert war breaks out. --GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 21:03, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

My own preference would be to state her residency as "English" (more specific than "British", she's not Scottish or Welsh by birthplace or residence); but her citizenship (if it comes up) might be described as "UK"; and the overall "British Isles" would be suitable in contrast to other parts of the world — for instance to distinguish Leona Lewis and other X-Factor winners from the winners of "American Idol". I'd prefer "British singer" over "English singer", only to avoid having "English" taken as meaning the language. I've amended the entry to say "English (i.e. British) singer and songwriter", my addition boldfaced here. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 21:53, 20 Dec 2006 (UTC).

My preference is to use "British singer", and I think I'd also prefer use of "United Kingdom" over "England", though that bothers me less than "English singer" does. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

We should follow the most common usage here on Wikipedia and most British subjects, including famous politicians, athletes, entertainers tend to be overwhelmingly identified as either English, Scottish, Welsh, or as being from Northern Ireland and not as British in their introductory paragraphs. I am going to change British to English to follow the example of most similar biographies. --Dreko 14:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Usage should avoid ambiguity. There is no ambiguity in "English politician" or "English athlete", where "English" can only mean "of England". The ambiguity arises with "English singer" or "English poet" or "English writer" or "English speaker", where "English" might also mean "in the English language". As singers, poets, writers, and speakers from other places may also sing, write, or speak in the English language, the meaning "of England" is not clearly conveyed. This is why the parenthetical clarification, "English (i.e. British) singer", was added — to specify the geographical rather than the linguistic sense of "English". Please allow that to remain. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 17:26, 21 Dec 2006 (UTC).

I really think there isn't much ambiguity in use of English singer as the term is virtually never used to mean a person who sings in the English language, at least not in any media I have come across. It almost always mean a singer born and/or bred in England. The (i.e British) formulation looks a bit contrived to me. Also as i said above many, if not most, other English-born entertainers including the likes of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and David Bowie are all labeled English singers in their Wiki bios. Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones are both called Welsh singers on Wiki although there is a living Welsh language and both of them sing in English. The chance of ambiguity seems very small, almost nonexistent, to me and I see no problem with simply using English as opposed to English (i.e British) singer, which I think looks odd. It works in many many other articles with no real issues or discussion and I would prefer it here. SAJordan let's see what others say before asking not to change it. --Dreko 20:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure British should be used here. She's clearly also got non-English roots, I'm sure British should be use. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.38.83.13 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

"English" should be used, as was already stated shes English by birthplace and residence. "British" only adds to the misconception that "English" and "British" can be used interchangeably. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.47.83.154 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Could we compromise on your conflicting demands by using both terms, as before? "English" to be more specific than "British" (not Scottish or Welsh), followed by "British" in parentheses to clarify that the location and not the language is the intended meaning? Thus, "English (British)"? That way no-one loses, you're both right, both terms should be used. – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 01:27, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Fair enough, I see this as reasonable. What I do not see as reasonable, however is the use of "United Kingdom" and the picture of the Union Flag. Articles on Scottish and Welsh performers are more specific - why isn't the same happening here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.47.76.92 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

If other entertainers or public figures of English birth and residence are marked with the English flag and not the Union Flag, then I think you've got a good case. Would you be willing to look up some examples (say, 5-10, the more, the merrier) for the rest of us to see? Then there's both evidence and a fair likelihood of consensus to support the change — a much better outcome than another revert war.

By the way, ending your comment with four tildes ~~~~ will attach your ID with the date and time of posting, which makes it easier to see who said what when, and not think different people's comments were written by the same person, or vice versa.

Registering a username also has advantages, including: names can express your personality or interests or what you want to say about yourself; names are easier than IP numbers for others to remember across posts, so you can build your rep; and you get to have a watchlist showing you updates to pages you've edited or marked "watch". – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 09:16, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).

I found one or two (sixteen):

• Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham)
• Pink Floyd
• Elton John
• Queen
• The Beatles
• Oasis
• Sex Pistols
• Radiohead
• David Bowie
• Eric Clapton
• Black Sabbath
• The Rolling Stones

I could find more? 80.47.76.92 09:51, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I think that should do it. England's flag it is — or does anyone else have countervailing evidence?

And because there's continual reversion back and forth between "England" and "UK" at other points in the article, I urge the compromise of "England, UK" to address the valid concerns of both sides... or leave both sides equally dissatisfied, whichever the case may be. Could we all accept that? – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 22:56, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).

No. This does't occur in other articles, it won't happen here. 80.47.209.187 22:12, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

So we go back to a continuous oscillation of reversions, back-and-forth between "England" and "UK", as before? See the edit history. If, instead of compromising by having both, we have only one or the other, there are always people on each side who insist that theirs will be that one. No compromise → no truce → back to the Edit Wars. *sigh* – SAJordan ^talk_contribs 23:03, 26 Dec 2006 (UTC).

Believe me, I want this resolved as much as you (and "English" right, and you idiots who insist on UK don't deserve the right to a use a computer. I'd be less harshly blunt but this is getting on my t*ts), but unless people realise English is correct and that "UK" is not specific enough, is very rarely used, and that most articles are more specific (and correctly so), they're going to keep reverting it. Some people, eh?80.47.209.187 23:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't refer to people as idiots, it won't help. Can we just pick one and stick to it? English? British? Who gives a fuck? I'm sure Leona doesn't. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 01:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Theres probably a great deal of performers who don't care if they have articles about themselves on Wikipedia. Does that mean they should all have their articles deleted? 80.47.75.49 17:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I meant. Let's delete the whole article. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:08, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

There needs to be an official Wikidebate on whether 'British' or 'English', 'Scottish', 'Welsh', 'Northern Irish' should be used instead (not just for this article, but for all). I'm not sure which I prefer, but it's ironic putting 'English' since Leona is only a quarter English anyway. Cypriot stud

From WP:MOSBIO: Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.) The question is, is one a citizen of the United Kingdom, or of England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland? I believe one is British (though I could be wrong). — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

1 million pre-sales/orders

There were not one million pre-sales, there were one million pre-orders. That means the stores anticipate that they may need one million, and ordered that many. It's more than possible that Leona could sell 300,000 and leave the remaining 700,000 sitting on shelves. Corrected that until we know what she actually did sell. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.207.89.208 (talk • contribs) 01:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

i think the following is worthy of a mention if someone wants to add it

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo told the Evening Standard: "Leona's single is already the fastest selling download in history and is now almost guaranteed to be the fastest selling single of the year.

In one day alone, 100,000 copies of the track A Moment Like This were downloaded. [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.113.81.196 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Uhhhh ... the fastest download in history?! Downloaded songs only arrived in the mainstream in 2006, so I wouldn't get too excited over this.

X-factor winner, Leona Lewis has broken her third world record to become the fastest selling female performer of all time. Lewis’ single smashed Britney Spears record of 464,000 copies of her single ’Hit Me Baby One More Time.

London, Dec 30: X-factor winner, Leona Lewis has broken her third world record to become the fastest selling female performer of all time.

Her single ‘A moment like this’ reached the number one position and sold 571,253 copies in the first week itself.

"It's great news for Leona, and the song looks solid at number one for a second week," The Mirror quoted her spokesperson, as saying.

Lewis’ single smashed Britney Spears record of 464,000 copies of her single ’Hit Me Baby One More Time’.

Leona's debut song, a cover of a Kelly Clarkson ballad, broke its first record on day one, becoming the fastest selling download with 50,000 copies in the first half hour, and created its second record by becoming the best selling download over the period of a week.

I think that grants a mention.. http://news.sawf.org/Gossip/31356.aspx http://www.zeenews.com/znnew/articles.asp?aid=345208&ssid=2&sid=ENT —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.140.64.197 (talk) 08:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Language of the article

Is it possible to try and reduce the number of short sentences and try and blend them into each other using conjunctions e.g. 2nd paragrah "Leona lives in Hackney. ....etc. This may make the entry flow better grammatically --82.69.88.140 22:59, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Different Picture Possibly

I was hoping, not being too fussy but a different picture of Leona perhaps as not saying that she looks horrible in the one present but her face seems to be down while her hair is flying everywhere. So, if anyone can get another image of Leona that would be great. Oriana is cool 21:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, this has nothing to do with the picture but did Jamelia say nasty things about Leona?Oriana 21:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

There's three photos of Leona on flickr, this was the best one so I got permission for it to be used. I don't think it's a bad photo. It would be better if she was facing the camera but that's life. Tracking down celebrities isn't exactly the easiest thing to do. And yes Jamelia did say things. I'll see if I can find some news links. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Whistle register

If I was able to source it, how would one add Leona Lewis's page to the list of whistle register singers? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Debbie33 (talk • contribs).

Just add [[Category:Whistle register singers|Lewis, Leona]] to the bottom of the article. What's the source? I've removed it before because there's been no source. It could also be mentioned in the article somewhere. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Okie Doke, Still working on sourcing the information. I've read that even if someone has perfect pitch, that's not good enough as it goes against the wiki rules or something to that effect. I wouldn't be too bothered about it, but the fact that JoJo made it to the whistle register list and her own wiki page states her highest note as an E6. Leona hit this note on the X-Factor shows and it was a lot more controlled and crafted than JoJo's squeal, I've heard JoJo hit a C6 once and it wasn't even in whistle register, it was very strained - Superhead! Whereas Leona displayed notes in the early whistle register numerous times throughout the show! Maybe it's just a case of waiting for official sources to confirm this and letting her be for a while. But in my eyes, if JoJo deserves a place there, so does Leona because she sings JoJo under the table in that area of register —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Debbie33 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

I'm sure you're right, I'm no expert so I'll trust you on that. I did a quick Google search earlier for any mention of notes she's reached but couldn't find anything. I know she reached some very high notes on X Factor so I'm sure she is deserving of a place in the category. Which song had the high note? Perfect pitch is something totally different, by the way. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Perfect Pitch is different to what? I didn't say what perfect pitch was. When she sang Lady Marmalade, She hit an Eb6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debbie33 (talk • contribs)

It's different to what we're talking about, you mentioned it but it's not a part of this discussion. By the way, could you possibly sign your posts using four tildes, like this ~~~~ ? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 02:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, sorry. I didn't realise you had to sign your own posts, I assumed that happened automatically! Anyway, what I was saying about perfect pitch is this - I over read on another discussion page that if someone has perfect pitch, that alone is not enough to submit an entry on to the whistle register list. (by self diagnosing the PITCH of the note). It has to referenced. I think where we are crossing wires is you thought I was assuming Leona had perfect pitch? Which of course, is something totally different to whistle register! Debbie33 01:46, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Debbie33

Perfect pitch means that you know what note you are hitting...it has nothing to do with the ability to hit a certain frequency. What we were saying on that page was if anyone has perfect pitch and is acredited for it, then we canb use them as a reliable source in order to cite articles and allow them to be put into the whistle register category. We were NOT saying that if an artist has perfect pitch they can be put into this category. I have removed Leona from this category for this reason. Also she hits an F#6 in Lovin' You which is studio recorded, however, again, you need citation in order to accredit her with the whistle register. Snail2 07:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Perfect pitch is nothing to do with this discussion. There is already a citation for the whistle register. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 18:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thats what I was saying, and sorry I didn't see the reference. 81.154.31.178 07:34, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

£5million contract

Wow this looks incredibly difficult as a newbie on how to edit etc etc....Just wondering if anyone will update the main page with the fact that Leona performed in a special showcase in America in front of music insiders and bigwigs, and has officially signed a £5million contract with Clive Davis to produce 5albums.

Yes I am about to make an update regarding her new contract. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Debut Album

I have removed the information on the track listing of the album from the main page for 3 reason: 1) it was not sourced 2) the track listing did not contain her first 2 singles and so cannot be correct, and 3) this should be placed in the albums own page. snail2 07:44, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Were you the IP who removed Twilight? That's the album she recorded before entering The X Factor, not the album that's due for release in November. I will try to find a source for the tracklisting. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 08:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Never compared to Whitney

In the article it says that she was comapred to Whitney Houston. That never happened in the show. She was compared to Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera, but never to Whitney. Altrough once time she was said that her performance of I Will Always Love You was as good as Whitney's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.221.42.136 (talk) 22:34, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

After the show ended,when they did 'the winner's story'on ITV2, louis walsh did compare her to Whitney and Mariah during an interview. He said that they both should watch their back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.197.65 (talk) 18:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

"The only criticism"

"The only criticism Lewis received, both by the judges and in the press, was related to her confidence." - This is not true at all. From the top of my head, one other criticism she received was for her lack of star quality, which came from the show's own vocal coach: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/a40282/x-factor-vocal-coach-criticises-leona.html Perhaps a bit of balance is needed, rather than rewriting history. 86.140.223.222 08:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I shall add that to the article, thanks for the source. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 09:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

get you tube it was related to confidence —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.83.5.66 (talk) 08:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Contradiction..

In the bio section she's noted as a 'Singer-Songwriter' but further on down the article I noticed this:

Lewis's second single, "Bleeding Love", produced by Ryan Tedder and written by Tedder and Jesse McCartney, was released on 22 October 2007 in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommyhaych (talk • contribs) 08:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

How is that a contradiction? She doesn't write or co-write all her material, but it doesn't mean she's not a singer-songwriter, does it? ^anemoneI_projectors 10:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

If George Bush had a passion for fixing radiators, that doesnt mean he'd be a plumber now, would he? My point is that if Leona Lewis was a singer-songwriter as is claimed in the article, it should be stated somewhere that she actually writes her own music. The fact that "Bleeding Love" was written by someone else only makes that claim invalid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.196.41 (talk) 19:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Not really because if you look down at the tracklisting of Spirit you will see that she co-wrote "Here I Am". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.64.196 (talk) 12:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

She's co-written three Spirit-era songs, "Here I Am", "Forgiveness" and "Whatever It Takes". She wrote all of Twilight herself and co-wrote all of Best Kept Secret, so I think it's safe to call her a singer-songwriter. ^anemone│_projectors 14:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

I Will Be

The song 'I Will Be', no.7 on Leona's album 'Spirit' was written by Avril Lavigne. Avril used it as a B-side, dubbing it "too slow" to feature on her more up-beat album 'Best Damn Thing'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cook9 (talk • contribs) 13:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

What is it the B-side to? It's on the special edition of Lavigne's album. ^anemoneI_projectors 15:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Winner?

This sentence in the opening statement claims she has not won anything It is claimed Lewis will be the first winner of a major television talent show in both the UK and U.S. to be given a major global launch with the release of the album.[4]...

She won the X factor, and to my knowledge she is NOT going to be on any American TV show to do with talent. DragonFire1024 (talk) 19:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not claiming that she didn't win, it's claiming that she will be the first winner of a talent show to be given a major global launch with the release of the album. It's not saying she won a show in the US, it's saying that she's the first of all US and UK talent show winners to have a global launch. ^anemoneI_projectors 20:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

It needs to be reworded..because it sounds like she didn't win the X factor. DragonFire1024 (talk) 20:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Template

I changed the template because I believe Best Kept Secret is not one of her intended albums, it is another album. LemonZebras (talk) 10:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

It's still a released album, same as It's All for You was a released single. ^anemoneI_projectors 10:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

However, on other templates, albums which are Christmas albums have been released and compilation albums have been released, therefore I think this album should go under other albums. 81.132.141.129 (talk) 17:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Most templates only have compilation and live albums separate from studio albums. As they are both studio albums, they should be on the same line in the template. ^anemoneI_projectors 18:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

But the compilation and Christmas albums have been done in a studio too! 86.150.68.96 (talk) 16:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

There's no Christmas or compilation albums on this template, you should take that up with the editors of those particular templates. ^anemoneI_projectors 19:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not saying there is, I'm just saying that it isn't her second studio album, it shouldn't be on albums box of her template, obviously you can't grasp the fact that studio albums are also compilation and Christmas ones, I think you are contradicting yourself a bit, which isn't good for an editor of a highly-praised thing which is Wikipedia. 81.158.15.225 15:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Of course it should be in the albums box of the template. It is an album and it has an article. ^anemoneI_projectors 16:31, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and live albums as well as compilation albums and some Christmas albums have articles too but they aren't in the albums box, they are in "other albums", I don't think you see my point!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!86.152.251.19 17:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't see your point at all. Best Kept Secret is not a Christmas or compilation album. It is an ordinary album like Spirit. ^anemoneI_projectors 17:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

As Leona appears to have had no input into the release or production of "Best Kept Secret", seems to actively disown it, and despite claims it was released through online music store Juno Records it isn't actually on that site or available anywhere elsewhere, isn't including it as a "normal" album giving an entirely false perspective here? 81.110.244.97 (talk) 02:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

That is exactly my point, I don't see Best Kept Secret as an album which is normal, it should go in a different box in her template. 86.148.64.196 (talk) 12:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

There should be...

a mention of how many weeks each single is at Number one etc.

There is for "A Moment like This". I was waiting for Bleeding Love to fall from number one before I added the number of weeks, but it would be a good idea to add it now. ^anemoneI_projectors 23:14, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Coloratura Soprano

Leona is NOT a COLORATURA soprano! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5 octaves (talk • contribs) 01:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Anything about her voice is original research, and unless you can find a reliable source, it shouldn't be mentioned. ^anemoneI_projectors 11:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I've added it to the interwiki links sections (here and in other languages). ^anemone│_projectors 21:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Title Image

Shouldn't the title image be updated? Leona's image has changed a little since the image was taken..and maybe a more up-to-date picture would suit better? --Innes2k7 (talk) 18:01, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
