Awwwwwwwwwwwww she's so pretty! I think the original video is more interesting, but her image in the US video is much more relevant to the market. She's got that "candy floss" image in the US version: pink glossy lips, her big sparkly blue eyes on show etc. Don't worry Brits, her US management team know what they're doing! They didn't two videos just for the fun of it!

I must say this idea of showing the one leona was in love with and broke up with is a good concept for a video though i do have to say the original version has more feeling in it by the way the song is portrayed in the different couples you are shown. the original version was good the way it was and do not think it needed a new one to be made.

Re: Sammy –
Yes She Will. There All Millions Of People Living In The US Not Just YOU!!!!!!!
How Many Crap Acts Do Ye Have Over There Already That Are Famous But Cant Sing 2 Save Their Lives Yet Make Millions. Half Of Them Sound Like Crying Cats.
This Girl Has Talent And A Lot More Than Half Of The American Singers There Already. Just Because Shes British. Stop Hatin!!!
Elaine says – reply to this

421

Nah, the UK version's far better. From the second they froze (i.e. when she says frozen) the crowd in Times Sq they'd lost me. That said, NYC looks pretty amazing.

422

the other vid was better, good song though
emmett says – reply to this

423

Shes is simply amazing! Her voice is sensational and she is already huge in the Uk, for all those who havent heard of her. She won the frggin x FACTOR Like, come on, go on to youtube and watch her live, at least this will show that she can sing LIVE. Not all like those singers in the US who think they can sing, not a bit of wonder, because they voice is modified, and pre-recorded. Her album is the best album this year. It offers quality, and this girl is a star! Im a huge fan! Love her

The UK video was brilliant. This is just boring and very typical. Stick with the original leona!!!
lisa@scotland says – reply to this

425

I prefer the UK version its way better. But I have a question though. Why do some stars feel the need to release different videos for the same song??? I love this song and her album. This girl can do no wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa

P.S I love you perez. Have done since that programme with vicky B. LOL
mell says – reply to this

426

Prefer the original, but this is still brilliant

"She won't make it here in the US"…. how do you bloody know you idiots?!

I think when the americans hear her live, they'll change their opinion on her Not many people can sing live and still sound as good as the studio version.

I live in the UK. Leona Lewis is massive her and probably the biggest name atm. I know she's going to be just as succesfull over in the states.
Twiggy says – reply to this

429

What the hell…why go through the time and money to make this video, which is pretty crappy, when the original is sooooooo much better! Doesn't make no sense!
kboogie says – reply to this

430

She's alright, but she can't mess with crazy Mariah. Mariah's got much more soul and style, not class necessarily lol. the first version of this song is better, anyway. the american version is very vanilla…. watch, just like folks said craig david was gonna take america by storm, yeah, ok

She looks pretty and very natural - not that much make up, but the 1st one has + impact is a stronger video - I prefer that

Her album is amazing! But the British version of the video is better, she looks amazing in the silver dress
Ola says – reply to this

436

i like the original better because it shows a couple stories. she looks beautiful in this one but theres only one story and it gets a little boring. shes gonna be huge tho

Pozzywozzy says – reply to this

443

british version is 100times better than this shit!! WTF was that!
yes leona will most likely be huge in the US but lets all me honest! they tryin to make her into the new mariah but no one can replace mimi yo!!! plus she hasn't got a personality as an artist, she's kinda bland. great voice though jus no personality
nick says – reply to this

444

great, she is so hot and she can sing wow

447

Re: prettybob – thats judging on this song!! pahah, well search on youtube, and you will see she is BETTER than bloody babra steisand and 'cant sing live' celine dion… watch her, 'over the rainbow' 'summertime' 'i will always love you' 'better in time' 'i have nothing' 'footprints in the sand' and all the other songs shes done, you americans have to put up with bloody dixie shits, carrie underwood, beyonce knowles etc, when an amazing singer steps into your country you're too judgemental to invite her, and to the 'never heard of her, that means she suxs' more like you've never heard of her because you're to busy listening to the above! and worse!

Ihateggleogg says – reply to this

453

love the song, love her but the first version was better, had a little bit more of relation to the song, this one is too blah
steve says – reply to this

454

I love her, I met her the day she was shooting the video in time square
she is so sweet and very kind
i must admit i really like the old video better
But anyway the song s going to be huge, its amazing and really catchy
she is a superstar
Brenton says – reply to this

455

i'm afraid, as much as i adore her, that the UK video is far superior to the US version. UK version has a great plot. The pace of the action in the US video does not keep up with the song…this new version lacks the spark that the original has. UK all the way.

According to his myspace Jesse McCartney wrote this song but it didnt fit with the direction of his new album so he gave it to Leona.

why did they feel the need to replace the original video for america when the original was soo much better, especially considering the original was filmed in LA in a completely american style by an american director.. ah well

Renny Undasan says – reply to this

475

The video itself is fine and Leona is magnificent as usual. The original version looks like no expense was spared to support Leona. The US version seem cheap. Something that one would only associate with the X-Factor video, as Simon and Davies need to save some money. Must have spent all the money on the original and the US version is merely an after thought. I prefer the UK version.
Sam Bennett says – reply to this

476

Better than the UK version but not all that, she looks less like a man in this version though, but I don't get why she had to make a new video for America?? wasn't the first video good enough for them?
jen says – reply to this

477

leona is amazing and she has a beautiful voice. Anybody who says she is like "anyother popstar" or "wont make it in the states" needs their ears checking. not many people can hit the notes that she can and with the elegance she does. her live performances are absolutely amazing and her snow patrol cover was spine tingling. at first i thought our uk video was better but then if you think about it from a business view, she has already established herself over here in the uk so its acceptable for her to wear short outfits and dance flirteously around a radiator, she is not yet known in america and so her first video could potentially portray her in a negative diva-like way, which she definately is not-she is the most down to earth and sweetest girl, therefore i think the second video may be more appropriate to introduce her to america, because it suits her sweet, cute, charming and grounded personality. anyway leona rocks and i cant wait for the progression of this stars career-sorry for rambling!!

LEONA - DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT - YOU'RE FROM THE SAME BOROUGH AS ME - GOOD OLD HACKNEY !! E8 REMEMBER - WHAT'S WITH THIS NEW YORK VIDEO CLIP - THE ORIGINAL UK ONE WAS STUNNING - THIS IS BLOODY CRAP - AND WHY ARE YOU STANDING IN A BLOODY NIGHTDRESS ?? - YOUR VOICE IS BY FAR THE BEST IN THE WORLD - YOU DON'T NEED TO PRANCE AROUND IN LINGERIE TO SELL YOUR MUSIC LIKE MARIAH OR CHRISTINA.
