3:53 This is my favourite falsetto. It's sounds killing, unbelievable, amazing and beautiful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I love this version and this song! This is the best so far. I really love Leona!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
As a massive fan of leona lewis mariah carey whitney houston and celine dion that final note for me is single handedly the best note I've ever heard so perfect and angelic 3:50
How does a voice like this come out of someone and someone so small lol. I’m jealous, I wish I had a singing voice. They’re special people chosen by God to heal the world with music and their voice
What I like most about this is that at the final note of "Your mind" her voice doesn't quite hit it but she quickly rescues it and ends with a head voice ad lib that makes it sound even better!
I'll never get tired of listening to her angelic vocals either on this wonderful version as in every single song she sings, what a masterpiece for God's sake!!!.Just loved it, and the unbelievable sustained note at the very end just drove me nuts!!! 👏👏👏👏❤😍
This has got to be the best cover of Bridge over troubled water ever! I wish she would perform this live again or at least re-sing every cover she sang on the show maybe for a compilation CD or X factor anniversary.
Leona will always be my idol. She has an amazing voice I could listen to everyday, her humbleness is something that inspires me so much, and the fact that she had stayed true to herself and who she is since she became a star is something that I look up to so much! She's just an inspiration to me.
As I’m watching this I’m like damn…nothing but her and she sounds amazing! Nobody does this anymore and that’s why people don’t understand what power and greatness this is. ❤
When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all I'm on your side Oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part Oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Look how life smiles at you, look how all your dreams come true, look how everything aligns in your favor; because the reward for those who chose the most difficult path is SUCCESS 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
So much time without watching this videos :').. This is one of her greatest xfactor performances ... i mean shes amazing!! That note at 3:52 was completely incredible... mind blowing!
Totally agree with you Chris McLaughlin, Simon should have made her sing more. I think he just gave her that little bit because he's still fuming a bit about losing her
I thought it was interesting that she said once that the final note was an ad lib, as she went into the belt too high, knew she couldn't sustain at F#5 for 10 seconds or so, so quickly switched to head voice.
She sounds beautiful at the end here I'm glad she switched it! Do you know if she meant it was a last minute switch up for the actual live performance or they changed it during rehearsals? Or do you have a link to where she says it at all?
calvin9999999999 funny you said that, I always was under the impression that that was exactly what happened, you can hear it a bit she looses the note and switches to her head voice. And she kills it!! Where did you read or hear her saying this? Thanks!
If you're here because the troubles in your mind is pushing you to the brink, and this song is your bridge over troubled waters giving you another fighting chance
I have to go back here after I watched her recent performance of this song. And yes her voice change a bit maybe because of age and other factors but still for me one of the best singer in the world!
Paul Simon wrote the song, but it was Art Garfunkels lead vocal alone (Paul sang backup) that propelled this amazing song into a total class by itself :)
I hate when people especially judges would tell a talented singer like this to stop doing ballads. Sing modern songs. No, do what is best for your voice and the kind of artist you want to be.
Gorgeous rendition. For anyone that is hungry for another great rendition, there is a Josh Groban version where he duets with Brian McKnight and its so powerful.
I mean that ending - WOW. After all these years I keep coming back
That transition from Chest to Head voice ❤😢 goosebumps till this DAY at Leona
her head voice is so thick and rich and just beautiful
Best x factor contestant of all time
3:53 This is my favourite falsetto. It's sounds killing, unbelievable, amazing and beautiful.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this version and this song! This is the best so far. I really love Leona!!!!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Being a huge Paul Simon fan I heared hundreds of versions of this song. This one is definitely in the top three, absolutely f*cking amazing !
*I FREAKIN LOVE THE VULNERABILITY AND THE STRUGGLE OF HER VERY SOFT DELICATE VOICE*
She sang this again at 2018 and hit the same note. Im so excited! Shes always be my queen.
Everytime I hear Leona sing this song my eyes tear up. She sings it so beautifully.
Sharon P. For me at 3:25 and 3:53😭😭😭
Sharon P. Yes perfectly!
She is so underrated but her talents says otherwise. That voice is a God-given gift. Please make a comeback in the U.S.
She sang the song perfectly,, you are always be my fav singer Leona we love you❤❤❤❤❤from Philippines
As a massive fan of leona lewis mariah carey whitney houston and celine dion that final note for me is single handedly the best note I've ever heard so perfect and angelic 3:50
Totally agree. Incredible
Such voice can't be from earth... It's from HEAVEN!!! She's so mind-blowing, woawww!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
That falsetto ending tho 😍 so beautiful
How does a voice like this come out of someone and someone so small lol. I’m jealous, I wish I had a singing voice. They’re special people chosen by God to heal the world with music and their voice
Leona has the right song choice.
What I like most about this is that at the final note of "Your mind" her voice doesn't quite hit it but she quickly rescues it and ends with a head voice ad lib that makes it sound even better!
Leona has a marvelous voice and had a set of beautiful eyes.... love her
Carina Deleon what do you mean 'had'? Lol
Carina Deleon has*
Her eyes are crazy beautiful
I preferred her with her pre-fame eyes. When she got famous she had the replaced with cosmetic surgery for robotic eyes. Never been the same since.
@@Columbiform79 HahahahahHa
I'll never get tired of listening to her angelic vocals either on this wonderful version as in every single song she sings, what a masterpiece for God's sake!!!.Just loved it, and the unbelievable sustained note at the very end just drove me nuts!!! 👏👏👏👏❤😍
This has got to be the best cover of Bridge over troubled water ever! I wish she would perform this live again or at least re-sing every cover she sang on the show maybe for a compilation CD or X factor anniversary.
Try Clay Aiken's version pretty awesome too!
Yes, that´s true. Wonderful performance of the song from Simon & Garfunkel.
Climix Johnson Yes, his was pretty awesome and also Tessanne Chin's version, too.
Amazing voice,I can repeat her performance a lot.
+faithoffaith IKR
That last big note: Insane
Leona will always be my idol. She has an amazing voice I could listen to everyday, her humbleness is something that inspires me so much, and the fact that she had stayed true to herself and who she is since she became a star is something that I look up to so much! She's just an inspiration to me.
Raven Lynch couldn’t have said it better myself fam
2022 🥰
This is how I remember Leona and it’s always been my fav vid. After watching her last year she is nothing like this. The voice is gone !
Definitely one of the most absolutely sublime, unbelievable and touching voices ever heard!!!.That was far beyond compare Leona, I love you!!! ❤😍👏👏👏👏
Best performance ever on a reality show. No one is in her league!!! Xxx
Beautiful young woman with a great voice. That was terrific.
Just blown away, such style and a new take on this glorious pop standard! Leona rocks!
Forgive me Leona for not even knowing who you were until today. LOVED IT!
The best version ever, that was epic!!! 💯🏆👏👏👏😍💖 Love you Leona!!! ❤❤❤
Absolutely my favorite rendition of this song. That ending! #slayed
listen so hyang and your tell me
No version comes close to the magical rendition by Simon and Garfunkel imo... 🤷🏻
greatest female singer of all times she is fantastic god bless you best of luck
she KILLED it and BIRTHED it all in one setting... she's good. if i hadn't known the original, i would have thought she composed it.....so flawless.
the greatest female singer of all time what a bloody talent come back to us
+CyprusHot sales are no indication of talent.
CyprusHot her first album did record numbers lol
One of the best closings to any song in history... She is amazing!!
Always a fan love you
cant speak for perfection, she is absolutely amazing, and a beautiful person not only for her voice and on the outside but as well in the inside.
Killed a classic
As I’m watching this I’m like damn…nothing but her and she sounds amazing! Nobody does this anymore and that’s why people don’t understand what power and greatness this is. ❤
I love Leona 'cause she puts her heart when she sings. She's an amazing performer. Thumbs up!
Love Leona so much.. She is undoubtedly the best singer of any competition..I do love Clay Aiken's version as well when he was on American Idol.
It's fun watching this now knowing she won and has lots of money and success.
She earned it!
I just had to come back and re-listen to this song, such a beautiful song
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
2:04 love this part
the best version ever!
one of her best performances. love it til now
What a beautiful,angelic sweet,voice?? She reminds me of Mariah Carey.Her eyes are so pretty. She looked,sounded incredible😚😙😊
Leona is just awesome! She is beautiful in every way and so incredibly talented. I thought that Louis' comments were rude and ignorant.
THE MAKING OF A STAR
realmente admiro su voz y es muy linda,mi cantante lejos preferida
she has beautiful eyes
She can still sing it today.. pure class.. once in a lifetime x factor queen... x
Look how life smiles at you, look how all your dreams come true, look how everything aligns in your favor; because the reward for those who chose the most difficult path is SUCCESS 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
So much time without watching this videos :').. This is one of her greatest xfactor performances ... i mean shes amazing!! That note at 3:52 was completely incredible... mind blowing!
3:56 YESSSSSSSSS..
The best Coverversion of this song i´ve ever heared
still watching it in oct 2015.....
2016
2017
Was hoping she would end the Grenfell tower version this way but stil two great versions :)
Totally agree with you Chris McLaughlin, Simon should have made her sing more. I think he just gave her that little bit because he's still fuming a bit about losing her
Deshune Morrison january 2020 :p
3:53 so emotional
A very down to earth girl...simply amazing..!!!
leona is such an inspiration she has aamazing voice she is beautiful she is talented she beautiful and has got star quality good luck girl
She's amazing
I thought it was interesting that she said once that the final note was an ad lib, as she went into the belt too high, knew she couldn't sustain at F#5 for 10 seconds or so, so quickly switched to head voice.
Making an ad-lib sound like it was always meant to be there is true talent.
She sounds beautiful at the end here I'm glad she switched it! Do you know if she meant it was a last minute switch up for the actual live performance or they changed it during rehearsals? Or do you have a link to where she says it at all?
calvin9999999999 funny you said that, I always was under the impression that that was exactly what happened, you can hear it a bit she looses the note and switches to her head voice. And she kills it!! Where did you read or hear her saying this? Thanks!
She is a genius!
Thank you for that. That is amazing. I knew Leona was talented but to switch like that at the last second is freaking amazing?
What a voice
So beautiful.
Just. Mesmerizing.
Amazing Leona, love it :-)
If you're here because the troubles in your mind is pushing you to the brink, and this song is your bridge over troubled waters giving you another fighting chance
You would think the world hungers real talent. They like the fake techno crap. Demand real talent. Leona is an angel.
leona your the best of the best the mega star...
3:54 angel voice :O
so smooth. high n hinger n highest.. ummm so good

Anyone here in 2024? Still best talent show performance! ❤️
I'm a fan......
I have to go back here after I watched her recent performance of this song. And yes her voice change a bit maybe because of age and other factors but still for me one of the best singer in the world!
I miss you my bridge Over Troubled Waters. rest in peace now
she's not dead lol
But she certainly killed that song lol! Absolutely stunning.
Her eyes are amazing!
That finish...
I know right, completely stunning
Paul Simon wrote the song, but it was Art Garfunkels lead vocal alone (Paul sang backup) that propelled this amazing song into a total class by itself :)
Leona, I become your fan just to the note hit at 3:53. For me, you didn't need to do any other than that.
One of the greatest vocals of all time that
Louis n Simon always fightin
Greatest ever talent on these shows?
3:53
I hate when people especially judges would tell a talented singer like this to stop doing ballads. Sing modern songs. No, do what is best for your voice and the kind of artist you want to be.
siempre te seguire leona..i love #PERU
this arrangement is just like a gospel style ... :)
Gorgeous rendition. For anyone that is hungry for another great rendition, there is a Josh Groban version where he duets with Brian McKnight and its so powerful.
This and the Josh/Brian version are my favourite ever renditions of this song!
Perfecta interpretación 🌱😋😋😍
i swear the holy spirit came out after those last notes .
She is my second most favourite female singer right after Amy Winehouse
Beautifull voice
