Leona Lewis is easily one of the best vocalists on the planet. Up there with Mariah and Whitney. Love the Mariah-esque falsetto at the end. Beautiful performance.
Still watch her performances in 2020. True sensation, and absolute star. Her choices of songs, and renditions were superb, but not really so much after the show ended.
I'm sorry but since Leona Lewis no contestant has topped her vocal performances! we've had great vocalists like Alexandra Burke, Ella Henderson and Louisa but they don't have that magic that Leona had
I agree. Louisa is a boring vocalist. Alexandra Burke was quite powerful but had no where near Leona's range. The only person who comes close to Leona is Christina Marie from the Voice.
4:11 OH-MY-GOD I sure hope she has some good song writers to push her forward in her career... for years and years to come. I'd hate to see this talent go to waist, you don't get to hear this kind of monster vocal ability very often in life. And so humble and sweet , she really sings from the heart ... LoVe her !
Leona's tone really nice. Her pitching is flawless, knowing how to control it varying it well. Leona always have her own style and originality which differs from other artists.
she is absolutley perfect!!! everytime I listen to her performances, I do it with my eyes and mouth open. she is the best singer in the world and no one is or every will be like here. not even close. leona i love you so much and all my friends does too.. =) dont you dare ever stop singing.
i love it when a person with a very laid back and quiet personality has such a confident voice and when u hear them sing ur like OMG did that voice come out of her mouth?! lol love u leona♥
Leona is a great singer - evident from the start of the song (1:59) when she was a fraction of a second ahead. Yet, she picked herself up. That is the kind of confidence, skills and pacing that many other contestants lack.
if u realize, there is nobody in this era that can ever be a "timeless" phenomenon anymore. No matter how good one can sing in this modern age, no one can ever stay in ppl's mind for decades.... All i know are only 3 divas that i will ever remember when i am 90 yo, Whitney houston, mariad carey and Celine Dion
First , excuse my english I'm from Paris/France. No Flaw at all ; Leona Lewis is a Real Diva like very very few. She's got this Perfect Top Note she can reach -the stars!!!- And the colour of her Voice is so reach, spread, wide, clear and deep; She could sing Puccini's or Verdi's . And Such Class and real beauty . She's got it all and takes us with her in this very special place where so few can reach . André.
Hermosa leona no me aburre ver sus performances, simplemente increíble la escucho desde the x factor y me encanta better in time, bleeding love, Happy, run todas sus canciones todaaaaaas!!!
OMG LEONA HAS SUNG ALL THE DIVA BALLADS I REALLY CANT SEEM TO GO BACK AND LISTEN TO ANY OF THOSE BUT ONLY IN LEONAS VOICE, HER VOICE IS SO .....I REALLY CANT FIND WORDS TO EXPLAIN HER VOICE BUT WOW WOW WOW! LOOK AT HER HUMILITY AND THE WAY SHE HANDLES HERSELF SO HUMBLE THROUGHOUT THE COMPETITION, SO REAL AND DOWN TO EARTH GIRL, SHES GREAT.
Unreal Performance! I bet Whitney was watching this and even got goosebumps....Such power, and range...I would love to see her and Kelly Clarkson frm American Idol go head to head....
Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012) Cited as the the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness World Records. Rest In Peace 😢
Leona is a very special singer and I just enjoy going to youtube to hear her sing. Simon was indeed correct and I really, really, really enjoy listening to Leona. Any tour I will be there to see Leona:
Leona Lewis in the best singer that came out of any singing competition hands down...Be it X Factor or any of the Idols...she is untouchable vocally...
vocally- one of the most amazing performances I've heard in my life, as well as her version of summertime in general- the most amazing and the most talented artist and person ever :D speachless
Doskonała i fenomenalna w każdym calu oraz w każdym dźwięku który z siebie wydobywa!! Kobieta z "Dzwonem Zygmunta" w głosie, potrafiąca zaśpiewać DOSŁOWNIE wszystko! Absolutna i niekwestionowana światowa DIVA!
DAMN this is my first time seeing this I came here from Tessanne Chin's version performed on the voice-usa. I got CHILLS no lie. I think they tied and that's a lot for me to say because I'm a fan of tessanne. But they were both amazing for different reasons
words can't describe how much i truly adore her she's just amazing i think , what a voice! and soo pretty , i could go on forever lol , brilliant performance too.
OMG LEONA HAS SUNG ALL THE DIVA BALLADS I REALLY CANT SEEM TO GO BACK AND LISTEN TO ANY OF THOSE BUT ONLY IN LEONAS VOICE, HER VOICE IS SO .....I REALLY CANT FIND WORDS TO EXPLAIN HER VOICE BUT WOW WOW WOW!
If whitney had never sung this song you'd hear leona and be blown away but it's hard not to compare her to whitney and tbh she's not even close. that said she still is super talented certainly has the looks to go with her voice a perfect package all round.
@@danielacenteno3885 are you refering to her performance at chinese singing show [singer]? I wrote my comment like 5 years before she gave that performance
@Sinf0nia we have to be proud that we're ftlipino and we're making progress in anywhere in the world. charice' s voice proves that we filipinos can be somebody, "no crab mentality here"...i believe in charice's talent. God bless us!
she hits all the notes perfectly, but whitney's notes had more power in them, leona's notes are very strong but it has more of a softness, usually because she transitions into falsetto after...and that always gives a beautiful touch to her performance.
![Leona Lewis - X Factor [Final] - All By Myself](/img/n.gif)
2021 and noone has outdone Her performance yet in my eyes❤
Couldnt agree more. I stopped watching x factor and BGT etc after she won.
💯 absolutely agree. She is AMAZING!!!!!
Louisa Johnson???
Jesse J sang it better. ✌️
Dalton harris..
2021 and still think she's the best contestant of any competition ever on TV. Stunning!!!
Imagine being one of the other contestants sitting backstage waiting to go on and hearing Leona absolutely smashing this song. Game over.
Three words: SHE NAILED IT!!! Where has she and her voice gone? Superb and bravo!
She’s still out here
She really nailed it!
Best cove of this song I ever heard.
Luca Borgnetto look up Johnny manual
Guillermo Garcia i was literally going to say that
Elgin Ebbesen right
No, SoHyang is better
@@HenWangOfficial lol nope
Leona Lewis is easily one of the best vocalists on the planet. Up there with Mariah and Whitney. Love the Mariah-esque falsetto at the end. Beautiful performance.
Its 2019 and Leona, we are still loving you girl!!!
She is the only one who can sing Without You by Mariah and I Have Nothing by Whitney and do both justice. Amazing!
Still watch her performances in 2020. True sensation, and absolute star. Her choices of songs, and renditions were superb, but not really so much after the show ended.
Listen to footprints in the sand
Wait until 2021
I will probably watch it every year
2022
this performance changed the whole world i remember everyone was talking about it. she really is amazing she has the most beautiful voice❤️
jesus this is just perfection
Leona has been the best singer in the x factor....Great talent....
She sang so clean... The notes were hit bullseye 🎯. It's just so nice to hear.
I love it! 😘
I'm sorry but since Leona Lewis no contestant has topped her vocal performances! we've had great vocalists like Alexandra Burke, Ella Henderson and Louisa but they don't have that magic that Leona had
9
no I think lousia is about the same maybe a bit less
bit less for certain
LOUISA deffo did
I agree. Louisa is a boring vocalist. Alexandra Burke was quite powerful but had no where near Leona's range. The only person who comes close to Leona is Christina Marie from the Voice.
Still to this day the best cover of "I Have Nothing". Nobody has been able to top that rendition other than Whitney herself. ❤
OMG😳😳! She is so good. Still look at Her in 2020🇭🇹
And We’re still loving Leona in 2020. I love you Leona.
Oh gosh, this is pure talent. I love you, Leona! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
4:11 OH-MY-GOD
I sure hope she has some good song writers to push her forward in her career... for years and years to come. I'd hate to see this talent go to waist, you don't get to hear this kind of monster vocal ability very often in life.
And so humble and sweet , she really sings from the heart ... LoVe her !
Discovered Leona browsing videos in pandemic time (January 2021) Beautiful voice. Love it!!!
Leona's tone really nice. Her pitching is flawless, knowing how to control it varying it well. Leona always have her own style and originality which differs from other artists.
I love her falsetto !!!
2020

ive always wanted someone to take that high note that one notch further and she did! God bless Leona Lewis ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!
What can you say except “perfection”.

leona i love you so much and all my friends does too.. =) dont you dare ever stop singing.
The best cover of this song I've heard!
4:12
Just insane...
No words
"Just insane" are words.
this is the one that should be famous right now not other singers who overused autotunes :c
i love it when a person with a very laid back and quiet personality has such a confident voice and when u hear them sing ur like OMG did that voice come out of her mouth?! lol love u leona♥
Agreed x infinity
Leona is a great singer - evident from the start of the song (1:59) when she was a fraction of a second ahead. Yet, she picked herself up. That is the kind of confidence, skills and pacing that many other contestants lack.
I simply cannot stop watching this Diva singing . Beauty, Class, Spontenuous, Soulful, . Thank You Dingledoodie.
André from Paris/France.
I think this is one of the best performances ever on X Factor - such a stunning voice. It's just a pity she's gone all quiet now.
Where has she been? Such a wasted talent!
@@minguyen2589 Now she can’t sing due to her health condition. She can’t sing big songs like this anymore.
Leona is still the best singer to come out of the X Factor UK...and this is the best cover of I Have Nothing I've ever heard
I love her voice.. Her singing always gets my attention.
if u realize, there is nobody in this era that can ever be a "timeless" phenomenon anymore. No matter how good one can sing in this modern age, no one can ever stay in ppl's mind for decades.... All i know are only 3 divas that i will ever remember when i am 90 yo, Whitney houston, mariad carey and Celine Dion
She hit EVERY single note!
First , excuse my english I'm from Paris/France. No Flaw at all ; Leona Lewis is a Real Diva like very very few. She's got this Perfect Top Note she can reach -the stars!!!- And the colour of her Voice is so reach, spread, wide, clear and deep; She could sing Puccini's or Verdi's .

SHE KILLED IT! ESPECIALLY AT THE END!!!!
No one has ever top that talent ..she brings someone special to the stage not just her voice ..she's shines through..like an angel..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Whitney probably would have approved !
She was alive when this was performed..
Noah manning and she did approve Anastasia Romanov
Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 - February 11, 2012) Cited as the the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness World Records. Rest In Peace 😢
Absolutely
Better
Leona is a very special singer and I just enjoy going to youtube to hear her sing. Simon was indeed correct and I really, really, really enjoy listening to Leona. Any tour I will be there to see Leona:
3:45 was flawless and stunning
This girl had zero competition... in fact put her in ANY year of X Factor and she had it in the bag...
she amazing the best thing ever to come out of xfactor amzing singer love that girl
Leona.. What a beautiful voice!!! Ms. Whitney Houston is giving her a standing ovation up in heaven!!!
She's almost too talented to have been found on a reality TV.
Simply perfection, the voice of a generation.
She gives me goosebumps.
Totally we couldn't believe what we were seeing on the X Factor.. plus she is absolutely beautiful
Arguably to be established as one of the greatest female singers of our era..9 out of 10 ...Nam ..(Jamaica )
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Leona Lewis in the best singer that came out of any singing competition hands down...Be it X Factor or any of the Idols...she is untouchable vocally...
I miss old Leona (like this) in 2019.
OMG this is amazing, her voice is so crisp, no crackles or anything, very clean.
That was fucking beautiful
Leona is by far the best X Factor Winner of any series. She is world class.
her voice is so nice!!!
vocally- one of the most amazing performances I've heard in my life, as well as her version of summertime
in general- the most amazing and the most talented artist and person ever :D
speachless

A melhor performance dessa música depois de Whitney Houston !!Ela cantou melhor que muitas artistas que já cantou essa música.LEONA ❤❤❤❤❤❤🖒🖒🖒🖒
Doskonała i fenomenalna w każdym calu oraz w każdym dźwięku który z siebie wydobywa!! Kobieta z "Dzwonem Zygmunta" w głosie, potrafiąca zaśpiewać DOSŁOWNIE wszystko! Absolutna i niekwestionowana światowa DIVA!

Honestly, Leona has the best version of this song out there today.... LEONA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
PERFEITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ♥
OMG LEONA HAS SUNG ALL THE DIVA BALLADS I REALLY CANT SEEM TO GO BACK AND LISTEN TO ANY OF THOSE BUT ONLY IN LEONAS VOICE, HER VOICE IS SO .....I REALLY CANT FIND WORDS TO EXPLAIN HER VOICE BUT WOW WOW WOW!
DAMMM GIRL!!!
What a performance!
Leona is phenomenal! She sung this song incredibly! Love her so much!!
Goodness, Leona Rocks!
If whitney had never sung this song you'd hear leona and be blown away but it's hard not to compare her to whitney and tbh she's not even close. that said she still is super talented certainly has the looks to go with her voice a perfect package all round.
Listen to the Tamara Foster version
Thought you was crazy when i started watching her and she forgot the words lol but when she finally did sing yes she has a fantastic voice.
Billy Bob yep great voice but still nothing compared to whitney
If Whitney never sung this song, Leona wouldn't have sung this song and no one would be talking about it.
Arska777999 Whitney didn't write the song so i'm sure david foster and linda thompson would have given it to someone else hadn't whitney been about.
She's such an amazing singer and person!
4:11 Wow! I have tired of watching bad covers of Witney Huston, never can sing as perfect as her, but leona did it!
Child please.
Jessie J
@@danielacenteno3885 are you refering to her performance at chinese singing show [singer]? I wrote my comment like 5 years before she gave that performance
i believe those three ladies you mentioned above are great singers in their own ways. They have amazing vocals, just different from each other.
I.literally had no idea she was British or came from xfactor
Macey Thompson back in 2007 I thought the same thing too. It wasn’t on till 2009 that I was told she was British and from the X factor
She is so London just listen to her
@Sinf0nia we have to be proud that we're ftlipino and we're making progress in anywhere in the world. charice' s voice proves that we filipinos can be somebody, "no crab mentality here"...i believe in charice's talent. God bless us!
Flawless
her voice is a breath of fresh air
perfect
she makes it look so effortless. she's amazing
Oh my god.she's so amazing
wow,.,,u r very talented leona pls keep singing,.,u can go a long way
Which note did she sing in 3:36 and 3:45?
I think it's a D5
Messi 528 3:36 was an e5 while 3:45 was an f5
Marco Kitzer how do you kbow that? I mean, i believe you, but i am just curious :D
One of the best x factor winner . Im from philippines and i like her season .remarkable!!!
she hits all the notes perfectly, but whitney's notes had more power in them, leona's notes are very strong but it has more of a softness, usually because she transitions into falsetto after...and that always gives a beautiful touch to her performance.
she truely has the most beautiful voice i have ever heard so beautiful it makes me emotional
