Hmm I wouldnt exactly call this a full on dance routine by any stretch of the imagination.
But the song is great and she sounds amazing. Can't wait for the album.

xenosys · 03-11-2009, 12:06

Not too keen on the dancing but at least she can move around on stage. Love the track though.

utoia2007 · 03-11-2009, 12:08

moving round the stage? maybe you should skip to 3.20 and onwards i would hardly call that just moving. The whole routine isnt energetic but its still a routine.

Anika Hanson · 03-11-2009, 12:09

The routine in the forgive me video was better but she didnt do it when she performed the song so this is better I think.

That wasn't my point.

Yes she does the dancing you know in the street, the high school musical part

When she is wearing the pink/purple top. I thought it was cute anway

*Liya* · 03-11-2009, 12:23

Nice, but it's hardly a full on routine. Catchy song too, why is that not her first single?. I think they can afford to take some risks with her at this point. That's a good uptempo track.

If_U_Seek_Amy · 03-11-2009, 13:19

Its not full on dancing (its no Beyonce or Britney), she is singing live and doing a whole set not just one song so that will limit her a bit!!!

But it proves that Leona can move around the stage...one poster said last year that she couldn't!!!

How can you be sure it's live though when you can clearly hear her voice while she's dancing with the mic down at her waist (during her " Full on dance routine " and when she does start singing into the mic it sounds no different to the backing track

Because why would she only pretend to sing half the song, surely if she was going to mime she would mime the whole song...rather than hold the microphone to her side when the pre-recorded vocals took over. Beyonce does it all the time.

Plus I can clearly hear the difference between the live vocals and the pre-recorded ones!!!

Well now not only can I now not trust my hearing but i'm told that my eyesight is faulty , even with the benefit of the doubt there's not a single point during that video where it's obvious she's singing live

Britney full on routine.. maybe a few years ago - not her performance on xfactor though!

Its obvious she has backing vocals on the recorded track, but meh. We know she is a world class singer live.

I loved the song and it was nice to see her do a bit of a routine.

Right so its just a coincidence that during the verses, the vocals aren't as clear as the parts where Leona's obviously not singing into the microphone (i.e. when its by her side)

Why would a singer make such an obvious statement that not all the vocals are live and when they are not going to sing the rest of the song live?

Try looking at some of the vids from 'The Circus starring Britney Spears'...she's got the moves back. Her X factor performance was only her 4th performance in 4 years, and her confidence was still at an all time low after the 2007 VMAs!!!

Sam Hunter · 03-11-2009, 14:09

Love it, it actually reminded me of Dannii's stuff. Simon obviously took inspiration from her.

She's clearly singing the verses live...the chorus is mimed.

Aspartame · 03-11-2009, 14:16

Not really dancing, just a bit of moving around now and then, even Stacey can dance more than that

Also I can't believe the way she moves the mic away for that part, makes it bleedin' obvious that she's not singing any of it. Bad decision, bad choreography.

Ok , you got me there and that pig that flew across the stage was made of chocolate

Amazing vocals AND dancing.

She has too much respect for her fans to pretend and sing a part of the song which obviously isn't live. The rest of the song was completely live.

OMG i'm sooo exicted- bring on the tour!!!!

tryalist1 · 03-11-2009, 15:25

I think that video actually does more to prove that she's NOT a dancer than it does to prove she can dance. Surely to dance you're feet have to move, we can all stand with our legs wide apart and strike poses with our arms while thrusting/wiggling our pelvis add your feet to the equation and then you can call it dancing.
I'm not knocking the girl, she's an amazing talent and singer, why do we have to push these people into being multi talented on stage, why not let her just sing and move in time to the music her own way rather than have what we saw there? It all looked a bit stiff to me. Barbara Streisand couldn't dance either and it never did her any harm!

joaniponi · 03-11-2009, 15:29

i was there and she was singing live except for when she pulled the mic away and the backing track came on - they sounded even more different in real life. when she sings live its like a direct line to the skin. tingles! she was fab and the place shook during her performance of this song. I love the dance - I love its simplicity and how stylised it is. kinda cool. can't wait for tour!!
