SurvivorLDog93, please give Leona a rating!

Ryan introduces the #1 selling new artist in the world, and of course, Simon pats himself (and Clive) on the back.

Leona Lewis.

Bleeding Love.

She sashays onto the stage, and promptly flubs the first mini-run leading into the verse. But what's a missed note or two among stars, right Jason and Brooke!? She quickly rights herself and delivers the melody line subtly. The accompaniment kicks in (and boy, does it ever!), and she picks up the volume and tempo. She certainly looks the part, although this part of the song looks patently like a lip sync. Poler is trying to dance as Randy and Simon do a rhythmic head bob. Leona abandons the centerstage mic stand, and approaches closer to the audience by a couple of steps. Actually, at this point I think she's singing to her pre-recorded accompaniment, which isn't quite as cheesy as lip-syncing the whole thing. She's pretty close to pitch here, which is a relief considering how high some of these notes are ... And NOW! BURGER QUEEN FLAMES!

An 8. (The recorded version which I think is damn near a classic pop song, I'd give a 10.)
