I absolutely ADORE this woman. With Hashimoto's disease and all the rigors her voice has been put through, she still gets up there and gives us everything she has to give EVERY single time out. And her emotional connection is out of this world. I'll continue to devour whatever material she puts out. No question. If she can't belt or go supernova like she used to, I don't give a DAMN. Her voice is still gorgeous, still lustrous and vibrant. She's always been and continues to be the real deal. As long as she's happy, healthy, and singing from her soul, I can't imagine what else there is to ask or expect of her. She will always get my unconditional love and support. Don't get it twisted. This is a QUEEN right here. ❤️
@@donaldholderdoc2910 I didn’t know either until about a year ago. I had never even heard of Hashimoto’s disease before. I hope your sister is doing well.
@@donaldholderdoc2910 Oh no, I'm so sorry for your loss. The sibling relationship is incredibly special and unique. I hope your memories of your sister bring you comfort and keep her spirit alive. Happy New Year to you and your family, as well. Take care of yourself.
If I’m being honest, I was disappointed at this performance. It nearly seemed like she was afraid to sing. But at the same time, I hugely understand that she’s got an illness that imparts her voice significantly, though there was already a decline before the illness took hold. But above all, I’m happy that she looks healthy and I’ll guess happy too. I love the fact that she still tries to sing and exercise her voice. Hopefully she recovers fully and is able to reach her prime again. But whatever she choses to do, we’ll always love her.
Okay this is the best I’ve heard her sing in years… sigh it’s sad what happened to her voice she was one of my favourite British singers and solo winners from the X Factor luckily Alexandra Burke still has it.
@@SteveRMusic93 lol in ur dreams. Alexandra has still the voice, she can dance & many more hits. 5 number 1s to be precise. Not that Leona doesn’t have the voice they were both winners
I think she's holding back and not giving her best on purpose to preserve her voice even on live shows, she still got some issues and certainly not in her prime condition, but im sure she can do better then that. I still love her head voice it's so beautiful.
Leona has some dates coming up and I have been considering going to a show. I know she isn't able to be like he used to but wanted to check if her voice was still good enough to put on a show worth going to. I may check out some more performances but compared to what I thought I might hear this wasn't too bad.
Surprised to see people writing that her voice is back and in mint condition. She can still sing but higher notes and her falsetto seemed to fail her throughout the performance.
You might have a point there. It seems that her voice is still in a struggling state. But it's far better than her recent performances (prior to giving birth). Hope she still sings and her love for music never fades. I love her no matter what. :)
yall need to understand her voice declined and it’s understandable its the exact same thing that happened to Mariah but at least shes trying to improve and hone her skills again
Is not the same what Mariah carey happend . Leona lewis has an auto immun disea wich makes her voice Weaker every year. Mariah carey has noudles wich she needs to remove but is afraid to loose her whistle register. Both complete different stories
Look what mariah has done with her voice including background vocals and singing for her demo and performing background vocals with Brenda k before the fame mariah and whitney used there voice more than any other singer . Patti 2nd to mariah
@@willynelson386Mariah definitely used her voice to do extreme things but in terms of live singing. Leona has done that consistently more. Leona is almost 2 decades since she entered the industry and even with her voice deteriorating from the autoimmune condition she has, she still gives what she's got completely live. By the late 90s Mariah started lip-syncing. At first it was off and on but as time progressed the lip-syncing increased, unlike Leona.
It is actually just a semitone lower than the original key. It does sound even lower than that, but I guess it seems like this due to her darker tone in general and because she avoided the high belted notes. Instead she stayed within the 4th octave in general except for the run at the end.
This was the best I’ve heard her in years. Although I hope she starts working with a vocal coach because she has been using horrible technique since 2013. She needs to stop raising her larynx so much when singing simple notes. Edit: I also think is not confident in her voice and scared to just go for the high notes.
@@damianchietan5417You're not completely wrong. She gave top-notch vocals after the rhinoplasty eg. "Hurt", "Colorblind", "Somewhere" etc. but if you listen carefully, ger placement while singing changed. Then that coupled with being overworked and Hashimotos really affected her voice.
So what if she changed the arrangement and didn’t belt at every opportunity? Just be happy that we got a performance and that her voice (and health) has obviously improved. LORD 🥴
@@EvinMA she has a condition which severely affects her throat and vocal cords which has resulted in a decline in her ability to hit the huge notes that once where so easy for her to hit
Even though I do understand what you're saying, watching her performances for the past years, her voice is coming developing back slowly and stronger, only a matter of time

I absolutely love her and wish her best.
I hope she can still sing and give us good music.
@@souzascosta “I hope she can still sing and give us good music.”
She can absolutely do both!

This is so good 😊 and you must remember that it is not original video, but recorded tv which can change sound a bit
She gonna come back
The condition of her voice sounds in mint condition. Can’t wait for new music

Alexandra Burke was always better singer & she she is still phenomenal
@@godofgrudge4532 LOL Leona is way better than Alexandra
@@SteveRMusic93 lol in ur dreams. Alexandra has still the voice, she can dance & many more hits. 5 number 1s to be precise. Not that Leona doesn’t have the voice they were both winners
@GodOfGrudge Leona is way more successful than Alexandra 😂😂🙈and her voice Is alot stronger
Where is Alexandra lately? Except musical theatre.
@GodOfGrudge Alexandra is good but I prefer Leonas voice by a mile
❤
😍

What show is this?
Oh this was the cruiseship inauguration when they had Simone Biles

What happened to her voice? So much lower in registration than the old version??

@@siau1819 👍🏼👏
Relax, she just gave birth
nah her baby is about 6 months now lol her voice is just forever in this state and people need to accept that lol
Her voice sounds really shaky. I don't hear this improvement people are talking about. She also seemed scared of belting out the climax.
What happened with her voice? 🥲
This was the best I’ve heard her in years. Although I hope she starts working with a vocal coach because she has been using horrible technique since 2013. She needs to stop raising her larynx so much when singing simple notes.

Nose job effed up her beautiful voice! I think her vocal chords were damaged when they put her under? Maybe I’m wrong?
I don’t think a nose job can effect a voice like that. I think it is just bad technique.
@@wyatttrahan2007 I heard it’s because an auto immune disease so I stand corrected
@@damianchietan5417You're not completely wrong. She gave top-notch vocals after the rhinoplasty eg. "Hurt", "Colorblind", "Somewhere" etc. but if you listen carefully, ger placement while singing changed.

Dreadful audience. Awesome Leona. Still my favourite
a bit disappointed since she did not belt the high notes
So what if she changed the arrangement and didn’t belt at every opportunity? Just be happy that we got a performance and that her voice (and health) has obviously improved. LORD 🥴
@@Brave1096 no need to be an ass here. It’s just her opinion after all. And yes we appreciate every Leona’s performance.
So…what’s her issue? Don’t follow her.
@@EvinMA she has a condition which severely affects her throat and vocal cords which has resulted in a decline in her ability to hit the huge notes that once where so easy for her to hit
She can't it damage her ability to sing but not bad she got that haunting voice still
Much better 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Not so much of the shaky Shirley ....good job ❤️
Prenancy doesn't help with her voice, I guess
Disappointed, again.
Even though I do understand what you're saying, watching her performances for the past years, her voice is coming developing back slowly and stronger, only a matter of time
Fans are so fucking demanding, shes a human being and her illness affected her voice
@@fabio94gf exactly. People really be upset humans don’t meet their expectations because life happens.
It’s so annoying when people expect she sing at the old times since she did so much and still sing live. Love you Leona you are pure heart.
Agreed.. where was the climax.
Love Leona but that was terrible, the music director should be slapped.
