Spirit Review

After listening to the CD for awhile, here's my track by track review.

Bleeding Love
~ No questions, this song is the most amazing best single ever. Half ballad, half not, which top the pop chart for weeks now.

Whatever It Takes
~ A feel good song when you listen to it a few times. It's hip-hop mixed with a simple gospel kind of music.

Homeless
~ She sounds a bit like Christina Aguilera. This ballad is just haunting!

Better in Time
~ The piano opener makes it easy to listen to but not my favourite in the album.

Yesterday
~ I just love listening to this song. It just reminds me of earlier Mariah Carey's song, which is think is great!

Take A Bow
~ Produced by the producer that brought you Bleeding Love but take a bow is a bit melodramatic song. Some says that this will be the next hit but we'll see...

I Will Be
~ Originally recorded by Avril Lavigne but Leona sang it more deeply and emotionally. She's definitely sung nicer than Avril. My favourite in the album.

Angel
~ You'll have to listen a few times to like this song. It's nowhere near as good as the other tracks.

Here I Am
~ Penned by Walter A, who introduced the earlier Mariah Carey's song - Hero, When I saw You, etc. Even Leona's voice sounded 70% like Mariah...Love this song!

I'm You
~ Produced by Ne-Yo. But a bit boring, even when you listen to it a few times. Not very catchy!

The Best You Never Had
~ The most uptempo on the album. Cool even if it's not great.

The First Time I saw Your Face
~ I've heard this song covers by Celine Dion but I just can't take it if it's too ballad heavy.

Footprints In The Sand
~ Just nice! It takes you memory lane just listening to it.

A Moment Like This

~ Brilliant! This song is sweet like an old fren coming to visit. Leona's deliver this song better than Kelly Clarkson.

Verdict: A competent first album with some great moments. Can't wait to watch her grow into a huge star. The next Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston? I'm not sure yet. They have achieved the 'diva' status already, but Leona Lewis certainly has the tools to get there too. Well, I've done my homework and now I'll let you decide!

The red highlights is my fav in the album....

p/s: Ni promote Leona Lewis giler2 ni. Dah macam publicist dia plak! hehe...
