Disadvantages: A few too many ballads, a couple of tracks could have been removed without issue

Well, it's been a while but has she cracked it? After a year of keeping her under wraps, it must be a sign they are taking the winner of X Factor 2006 VERY seriously. In fact, after her debut single A Moment Like This back in December 2006, she drifted into what we thought was the typical X Factor obscurity bubble along with that Ray bloke with the quiff, and those other chaps...Journey erm, ... well there you have it. Can you name any of the others? ... Read review

I personally loved the CD there was not one track on the CD that I did not like. The songs are a kind of Celine Dione meets Kylie. The songs are both modern yet have that harmony to it. There are covers like "Take a bow" which is one of my favourites on the album. My parilular favoyrite track is "The best you never had" as it reminds me never to take back a boy because he says he will change his ways when you suddenly hit success. This album has many ...

Brilliant album - Leona has such a fantastic voice!! I loved every song on that album... bought it immediately when it became available. Have to admit, Bleeding Love is my favourite track - but the others are great as well! There is not a single song there that's not great (or better!). With her voice, she totally deserved to win and the production people really put a lot of effort into producing an album with so many good songs - perfectly suited for her. Brilliant!!

Advantages: Excellent voice and song choice
Disadvantages: Not enough songs on it!
