Dunno if you get the British version of the X Factor but thought id send on this post from Leona Lewis (who won X Factor last year) who sang the Snow Patrol song 'Run' live on the show a few weeks back. It is INCREDIBLE!! I never really liked the original version by Snow Patrol altho i guess it grows on you after a while. The lyrics are beautiful and i never really noticed how beautiful they are until Leona Lewis sang this song... check it out here.... I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done
And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbye I nearly do
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder And we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower slower We don't have time for that All I want is to find an easier way To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear We're bound to be afraid Even if it's just for a few days Making up for all this mess
(Instrumental)
Light up, light up As if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear, my voice I'll be right beside you, dear |

Wow, I'm glad to see a thread about Leona here. WHAT an incredible talent she is! No, we don't X-Factor in the States. We only heard of her here with her first single "Bleeding Love". It took awhile for it to catch on since she was completely unknown. LOL...eventually we got the idea! She is AMAZING!! I went to YouTube and watched nearly all her performances on XFactor... she's almost flawless in everything she sings. |

| Ya know, I got so excited about a Leona thread and hearing this new song for the first time, that I posted pretty hastily...only about 2 1/2 minutes into the song. Now I've just heard the whole song, all the way through. Damn!!!  I'm still choked up and teary. Incredible.. just incredible. |

I don't see how anyone can hear her voice on this song and not weep like a baby. But oh dear, that dress. LOL... I found the Snow Patrol version (never heard of them either  ) and there's no comparison. This song is much too beautiful for that singer! Leona does it amazing. I still have chills. I also went and looked for the official video. Interesting video featuring a young Asian couple. Somehow the video is a little strange, cheesy at first, but then somehow very fitting and touching. And that guy is CUTE! |

Here's the official video link ......but really, the studio version doesn't do so much for her voice. It doesn't have to. She doesn't need enhancements. She's every bit as good live, even better. |

Thats odd...never seen that video version before..maybe its for a different market...this is the video they show over here in Ireland and the UK and most of Europe... its basically Leona running around in the forest! Its true the Snow Patrol song isnt as powerful but then again ya gotta think that the lead singer of that band wrote that song and it is beautiful...Leona just brings more to it altho some people i know prefer the stripped down version of Snow Patrol. Heres the link to the other video! Also, I intentionally posted the live performance as it really is so much better than the studio version as that is too sleek and polished... |

Ok may as well post the original song and video version from Snow Patrol... actually looking at it again, as i havent for some time, it is quite lovely, but i still prefer Leonas version. The band are Irish/Scottish. |
