It's probably the most sensationalist of all the sensationalising British tabloids - you couldn't even believe the weather forecast if it said 20 degrees (read: 10). Regularly flat-out lies and is never taken to task by the weak UK press regulation system. I'd trust Wikipedia more.

Somebody who had a friend who had a friend who overheard someone from Syco in a toilet saying that Leona is so big he could sell a $100 mill contract has become a news story.

Nice voice, exotic beauty, totally forgettable music. Her vibrato is so exaggerated...she sings like the winner of a high-school talent show. Which she basically is.

Of course, that's really not saying much considering that the bar for big albums sales has been steadily dropping for the better part of a decade. How the hell can a label justify spending $100 million on this unproven, unknown quantity while they can't spend the time to cobble together a cohesive online sales strategy?
