Leona Lewis’ New Song “Love Birds” Flies Online

Tue Jan 3 2012 by Robbie Daw
Poor Leona Lewis didn't exactly have a stellar 2011. Her Avicii-sampling "Collide" failed to reach "Bleeding Love"-like heights, third album Glassheart got pushed back to this March and, perhaps worst of all, she landed on our 10 Worst Album Covers Of The Year roundup — despite the LP not even being released yet! But perhaps the British singer's new tune "Love Birds" will help her take flight in 2012? Listen below. More »

The 10 Worst Album Covers Of 2011

Wed Dec 28 2011 by Becky Bain

Though our specialty is reviewing music, we’re often distracted from an artist’s tunes by their amazingly awful album cover. In 2011, there were 10 (mostly) high-profile releases with cover art so ridiculous, so badly designed, and just so straight-up weird that we had to share them with all of you. Last year, MGMT nabbed the highest honor here for their hallucinatory surf’s-up-kitty album cover art for Congratulations — but even that hot mess looked like it should be hanging in a museum compared to this year’s entries. Check out our 10 picks for worst cover art for albums and mixtapes released in 2011 (with one exception), and check back tomorrow for a palate cleanser of the year’s 10 best. More »



Nicole Scherzinger, Cee Lo Green & Leona Lewis At Royal Variety Performance

Thu Dec 15 2011 by Becky Bain
Nicole Scherzinger, Cee Lo Green and Leona Lewis performed in front of the Queen (as well as many of her royal subjects) at the annual Royal Variety Performance gala, which was filmed earlier this month. Instead of performing one of her own singles (her album did get officially released in the UK, after all), Nicole sang the title track from Broadway musical The Phantom Of The Opera in honor of the show's 25th anniversary. Cee Lo got some major stage time busting out his new single "Anyway", in addition to covering Queen's "Somebody To Love" with Leona Lewis. Watch below. More »

Leona Lewis And Coldplay Perform On ‘The X Factor’ UK Finale

Mon Dec 12 2011 by Becky Bain
As the debut season of the US edition of The X Factor winds down to its finale, the series' British counterpart ended with girl group Little Mix as this season's champions. Before the ladies' name was announced, returning to the X Factor stage was former winner Leona Lewis, who got pretty deary while covering of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" (which was famously covered by Johnny Cash), from her 3-song EP Hurt. Coldplay, however, got everyone's spirits back up with a bold and enthusiastic performance of their Mylo Xyloto tracks "Charlie Brown" and "Paradise." Watch both numbers, performed during the finale at the Wembley Arena, below. More »

Whatcha Say: Madonna & Adam Lambert Got Our Readers Talking This Week

Fri Dec 9 2011 by Robbie Daw
Over the past week, Madonna was confirmed as the halftime performer for the upcoming Super Bowl — but not everyone was pleased. Take, for instance, KISS rocker Gene Simmons, who labeled the Material Girl an "inappropriate" choice for the NFL event. Meanwhile, Willow Smith's "Fireball" video premiered, Eminem had sound problems in Sydney, Justin Bieber and Michael Buble got festive together on TV and news arrived about a possible Adam Lambert/Queen collaboration. Head below to see how our readers reacted to this battery of pop news! More »

Leona Lewis ‘Hurt’ EP To Contain Nine Inch Nails Cover

Mon Dec 5 2011 by Robbie Daw
Apparently Snow Patrol's "Run" isn't the only surprise cover version we'll be hearing from Leona Lewis. In the interim between her fall single "Collide" and her upcoming third album (due out in March 2012), the UK songbird will release Hurt: The EP this Friday (December 9) — in the UK, at least — according to Amazon UK. Included on it are the following covers: Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt", Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" and Counting Crows' "Colorblind". Who knew Leona had such eclectic taste?

Leona Lewis Runs On ‘The X Factor’ Germany

Thu Oct 20 2011 by Robbie Daw
Leona Lewis' third album Glassheart may have been pushed back to March 2012, but the UK singer's promotional appearances are still going on. Most recently, she hit up the German version of The X Factor, where, instead of belting out her latest single "Collide", Leona opted to sing her dramatic, slowed-down 2008 cover of Snow Patrol's "Run". It's a lovely performance, complete with a full band and a choir of female backing vocalists. Still, it does make you wonder about the state of Leona's current music. (Let's just hope she re-shoots that album cover in the interim.) More »

Leona Lewis’ ‘Glassheart’ Pushed Back To 2012

Tue Sep 27 2011 by Becky Bain
Those hoping to be shattered by Leona Lewis' Glassheart will need to wait a bit longer, as the singer's third LP has been pushed back to 2012. "I'm feeling so inspired right now and have decided to continue recording!" Leona wrote on her Facebook page. "I have a collection of songs that I'm so in love with and I no there's more to be born so it means the album will come early next year." Since she's already tinkering with things, may we suggest that Leona pick a new album cover and add a space in between Glass and heart?

Sun Sep 4 2011 by Idolator Staff
Leona Lewis is hitting the UK in a big way to promote her upcoming album Glassheart. First she appeared on the premiere episode of Simon Cowell's new game show Red Or Black? for the television debut of her legally-troubled single "Collide," then dropped by G-A-Y at London's Heaven nightclub to premiere the LP's fragile title track with a cadre of shirtless male dancers. (What else would you expect from a party called G-A-Y?) Head below to get your Leona Lewis on by watching both performances. More »
