@Anne Day the thing is, you're right. I was reading her autobiography called "Dreams" and in it she talks about how when she was on the X factor she didn't want to do a song in a particular arrangement and she simply knocked on Simon's door and told him she didn't want to sing with that arrangement and he was all like ok cool we'll do it the way you want. And the next minute it was arranged the way she wanted it and the musical director did what she wanted. It doesn't work like that. We know from contestants that they have NO creative control. She's also suspiciously smitten by Mr. Cowell in the book which makes you question her comments now. She definitely did have a thing with Simon and propably Clive Davis too as she mentions in the book having meetings with him in his hotel room to discuss music. Why the hell would you have a professional meeting in a HOTEL ROOM?

@CarlYoungII3 жыл бұрын
Very interesting. Im glad I saw this interview. Even though this was years ago when she first left Syco and Modest Management! she seems optimistic and resilient. Wonder how she is now, if she has any regrets after the "I am" era? The industry seems corrupt and sweeps or tanks seemingly promising artists. I don't think her leaving and going to a new label would solve the issue either, she'd suffer the same problem. Many compare her to Mariah Carey or at least the British version of her and that is not good news! That means her talent is not unique, it's been heard of before so there's nothing special that sets her apart from what's been already etched in history. Adele attended the same BRIT School of Arts as Leona but her grit and husky yet resound voice is a breath of fresh air and is the reason she's had much success. Also Leona is not getting any younger, she has to hone and honor that precious talent of hers as best as she can. Many expect her to be on the level she was during the "Bleeding Love" era but she is human and I'm sure singing at that rate all these years later would have completely destroyed her voice by now. Going back to the label, as messed up as it may seem at the end of the day they are a business, they need to stick with what's going to get them the $$$$$$. The talent or act they sign has a job to do and they need to do their part to uphold and represent their brand in the most marketable way possible. Not exactly sure... I know Mariah was with Epic for a time and she still might be but I believe she was on Island too at some point in her career. So maybe that helped further push Leona under all the murkiness in the industry. Simon and Syco love Leona but deep down they are very bitter by her leaving them. Leona helped put Syco on the map but may also have shown to the public if your next few records don't sell very well then we may have to push you off to the side and focus on new artists. But that seems to be the name of the game in all business, either you got it or you don't. I wish Leona well. As long as she makes music that feels real to her, the industry is useless. Just connect with the fans who had your back from the start. -Carl

A lot of up-and-coming and even established recording artists could learn some lessons from Leona and how she handled her separation form Syco and Cowell. Honesty is a great policy always and because of it she was able to maintain the mutual love and respect - and support from her former label, yet be able to move on to do what she wanted to do with Island. Kudos to her. She's a very smart woman.
@patriciawhitehead42776 жыл бұрын
Not really. She was encouraged to think (by someone) that she could be a good songwriter and have "original music. She is not. Sadly, her first album without Syco flopped. Both Island and DefJam in the US have parted ways with her. She appears to be unsigned at the moment. Since Syco made her a multimillionaire, she doesn't need to work unless she wants to, so this is hardly a tragedy,. Nor is Simon Cowell a villain. He has been very loyal to her, even as sales have declined. And because she was unable to have a hit album on her own, it may prove the point that the music industry has moved on and she hasn't moved with it. It is what it is.
@mcelliotdawson77003 жыл бұрын
