    Love the song. Love her voice. Love the hair.

    However, It looks like she's wearing entirely way too much bronzer.

    I LOVE her but I like the UK version of the video better. I cant wait to see whats next for her.

    304

    I dont know why she re-did the video? the british video is so much better.

    305

    This version sucks A montage of NYC makes it appealing to Americans?

    Seriously, they shouldn't've fixed what wasn't broken.

    306

    this is the first good pop song ive heard in awhile, the girl can actually sing! its a shame that talent like hers isnt making it big in the united states.

    shes also stunningly beautiful!

  7. whatever says – reply to this


    307

    whatever!! they changed the vidoe because either it's a technical issue, like someone else said. ie. i cannot play my dvd's from america in australia… or they just wanted to make it more appealing to an american audience by making it look like she is in america……… AND i don't get why there are so many british fucks on this AMERICAN gossip board dissing america… just don't get it. go on a british board!!

    I like the British version a lot more. I still love the song though.

    309

    Thank God for Leona! we havent heard a real singer in a long time- these silly girls in L.A. need to step it up and take notice that a real singer doesnt need to run around flashing her crotch, or posing with her hairstylist, a real singer is concerned about singing, not how many gossip magazines they are in. Thats just bird cage filler ladies.

    310

    It's ok, at best it could use some work. No matter how they try it's just not the visual orgasm that the original is!!!! I still don't get why they thought they needed a new video, the original was PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. janice says – reply to this


    311

    Re: whatever – i totally agree!! all of these brits think they are soooo smart. they keep asking the same freakin question about changing the video. if you think about marketing, or maybe techincal issues.. then there will be an answer to all of you smart brits.

  12. johnny says – reply to this


    312

    i definitely like the other version much better, this one is boring.

  15. Prettier Mariah says – reply to this


    315

    She has a great voice and I love her hair. And I really love the silver coat in the first video and silver dress in the second video. Both videos were good, but I'd go with the first one.

  16. K-dizzle says – reply to this


    316

    It's like Mimoo all over again!
    She so looks like a tranny in this video- gorgeous- I LOVE IT!

  17. micky says – reply to this


    317

    IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT!!!! why did they need to make a new one for america? What are we aliens? The british version is GREAT. J records people r morons. and the director of this video SUCKS

  18. WHY says – reply to this


    318

    I like the old one better she looks wierd in the American Version.

  19. alm00 says – reply to this

    BORING!

  20. anne says – reply to this


    320

    I love her!!!
    She has an amazing voice!
    But why did they remake the video?! The old one is way better, the new one is actually boring. Love the old one better!!

  21. MarcusTheGrand says – reply to this


    321

    She still looks quite gorgeous in the American video, but this new version is quite stale in comparison to the British one. It lacks the pizzazz and originality of the first video. Why do U.S. record execs want to make her look more American by sticking her in the middle of Times Square??? That's just plain dumb and uninspired… The British video is stunning. Why try to reinvent the wheel? I doubt this will hurt record sales since the single is very good, but still a bad move in terms of artistic vision.

  22. Koko says – reply to this


    322

    I like the old one better.. it was more interesting… and the outfit was hotter!

  23. humblecharlie says – reply to this

    she has a dog's snout

  24. Sandy says – reply to this


    324

    British version so much better!!! Why do they have to make an "american version"???!!! one song - one video, right??? Jesus…

  25. NICOLE says – reply to this


    325

    I love Leona and I bought her cd which is great by the way, but her other video was so much more intense, a lot more meaningful.

  26. Sean says – reply to this


    326

    Like Leona, hate this song and video.

  27. loz says – reply to this


    327

    other video is way better…………….its way more glamourous & more dramatic which suits the song, dont realease this video simon. Other than that its a amazin song

  28. Arturo says – reply to this


    328

    I love this version and I love, love, LOVE the mixes. Cannot wait to hear this bumpin' at one of the WeHo bars! Queens will be twirling and jumping over each other.

  29. Jacky says – reply to this


    329

    Not my type, I'm more into the indie scene as most music majors are, and to be honest, she looks like just another pop singer. The video itself is too typical, too boring, too I've already seen this a thousand times. Starts with a fight in an urban setting (Times Square), then goes to a close up of her and how pretty and sad she is, zooms out, then goes back to tell the "story" of why she is all sad in the city in really expensive clothes, the scene itself looks like a scene from Alanis Morrisette's "Thank You" except she's not naked, which in this case doesn't help her. Thumbs Down, and let's thank the major labels for giving us yet another artist who lacks innovation. I could write 5,000 of these songs in my sleep.

  30. LOU says – reply to this


    330

    Song is amazing but our British video is waaaaaay better than this…this version is crap! Why couldn't they just show the original version?

  31. simplrboy says – reply to this


    331

    a great singer…she got the voice like Mariah i think

  32. amanda says – reply to this


    332

    I LOVE THIS SONG! and I normally listen to just rock metal and indie! lol!
    Is my song of christmas 2007.

  33. tyttrttg says – reply to this


    333

    this song sucks

  34. Tha M says – reply to this


    334

    How boring! And uninspiring. The UK version is sooooo much better. Leona rulez!

  35. LP says – reply to this


    335

    I'm afraid us Brits got the better end of the deal! This video is leaving me snoozing! I couldn't wait to turn that video off and watch the original :)

  36. Thera says – reply to this


    336

    It makes no sense when you people say that she sounds like "everyone" else…she is raw talent and definitely the truest young soul in music today. She will be huge here in the States. This song is so gorgeous, her voice so pure, her magnetism undeniable. And yet, she is so down to earth, so shy about her own talent, so non-pompous and gracious…her x-factor performances shed light on what kind of woman she truly is. She is everything the Britneys and the Lohans and the Duffs of the world wish they could be. I wish her all of the most beautiful luck in the world with her album. America needs a gracious and talented singer like Leona to show all women what true grace is.

    337

    Simplified obvious storyboard new video for the dumb US market. The UK original video was far superior

  38. TV says – reply to this


    338

    Why redo it and make it more boring- she has more "spirit" in the original and looks just as good. US version-yawn!

  39. drrtx says – reply to this


    339

    love her…amazing song…but i like her uk video more

  40. Thera says – reply to this

    Re: Jacky – Your so full of it…shut the fuck up. Don't be mad because you're ugly and wear ugly clothes. It's so unbecoming. And "I listen to Indie like all music majors do"…what the fuck is this? You're so fucking cool! You listen to Indie, your just so fucking cool! What is Indie to you? Panic! At the Disco? Please, before I vomit.

    I saw the Pixies in 1982…where the fuck were you? I saw Jane's Addiction, 1988…Siouxsie and the Banshees, 1979…The Cure, 1991..The Dead Kennedys, 1983…Beastie Boys, New York Dolls, Public Image Limited, The Sugarcubes, Joy Division before Ian Curtis died, New Order, Misfits, 1980…the list could go on and on…point being that you wouldn't know good Indie music, or any music for that matter, if it slapped you upside the head, so shut the fuck up.

    341

    As always Leona Rocked it, the song was awesome!! ( Ryan Tedder of one republic wrote the song! )

    BUUT the us video… are you kidding?? The original one had more emotion, had more Leona, had more attitude, its like they stripped Leona and constricted her to facial movements in the new video…

    still Leona will do great in North America, all thanks to Perez!!!!!!

    Love yah perez!!

  42. Macky says – reply to this


    342

    Re: Candi

    You mean you need more Miley Ciruses and Britney spears? are you kidding! hahaha thats what america's all about! the lip syncing and the dumb artists who actually can't sing. pfft lame

  48. Ih8Bush says – reply to this


    348

  49. sarah says – reply to this

    But she's cool.

  56. XOXO says – reply to this

  59. Anne says – reply to this


    359

    Love Leona, love the album, but the original video is much better. Don't know why they had to do a US version of it…

  60. Richard says – reply to this


    360

    I prefere the British version, she acts more Diva like. This one is a bit mediocre. A bit too American Idol Video… But the song is great, Leona is great and I hope she'll make it big.

  61. samantha says – reply to this


    361

    Leona demonstrated real talent and stood out , plus we've all heard her sing live , i know she was quite a shy and reserved girl and believe that shes over coming that , she has raw talent you cant say that about alot of people , i also think shes pretty much on the same peg as christina , who personally i think oversings alot of the time ,or shows off more so live then on her albulm … love xtina all the same though.
    i think leona will be massive in the usa,shes an amazing singer a true diva , i just dont think we've heard her best yet

  62. Anton says – reply to this


    362

    Still an amazing song but Simon Cowell must be CRAZY releasing this new video for the US - as most comments agree. The original (US made) video was one of the finest of last year and made Leona look beautiful. Pull this new shit now and use the original - bad videos can harm even songs as good as this.

  63. lisa767 says – reply to this


    363

    I like the british version better when she is in the fabulous gold dress. With the silver trench she looks too much like j lo. Hopefully america will love her as much as the brits do.

    the UK Video was so much better! It just seemed to have more passion in the video.

  68. yellagrrl says – reply to this


    368

    beautiful girl, lovely song.
    looks too much like JLo, i think… too manufactured and standarised.
    totally agree with #11 - the BRITISH VERSION has a lot more personality and individuality.
    nonetheless, the lass is fantastic and it's high-time for a British Diva.

  69. vy says – reply to this


    369

    please check up YouTube for her amazing performances in the X-factor shows. She has an amazing voice performing 'All by myself” an 'I will always love you" …

  72. britney rocks my world says – reply to this

    original vid is so much beter.. dat vid is so boring compared to first 1…. wot were they finkin still love her an her sng.. woooop wooooop

  74. LucasM says – reply to this


    374

    hot video…..but thought the original video was way better..why change/mess the hotness that is Leona Lewis

  75. Roisin says – reply to this


    375

    God, someone give the girl some acting lessons. She hasn't a clue how to do natural, so she goes for stiff awkwardness…and then goes for cliched celine over the top moves…it's almost painful. You'd think she'd have learned after the first one!

  76. George says – reply to this


    376

    I waaaay prefer the British video…it feels like the only reason they remade it was because her hair wasn't big enough in the first one!!

    DON'T GIVE HER BIG HAIR…she doesn't wanna be like those other chicks!

  77. alex says – reply to this


    377

    um im sorry but why did she make a new video. u don't see u Americans making new videos for us brits. its a waste of time the Uk verison makes more sense and the song is not even about heartbreak the director needs to listen more! this song is sooooooooo old aswell she needs to hurry up and bring out a new song and keep to ur routes leona ur brit through and through don't forget about us!

  78. hayden says – reply to this


    378

    she's awful!! so manuactured you can tell simon cowell is controlling her trying to make her sing and do vocal runs like mariah, whitney and celine. she's like a copy nothing original about her at all!! so dull and doesn't have any personality. i hope the US see through her and she flops

    "#32 - Candi says – reply to this

    WTF is so special about her??? She's mediocre and her nose bothers me. She can sing like everybody else with a record deal. Nothing stands out. This is America and we need more."

    well well well, holding up all that THE WORLD HATES about amerika with this comment. you should be ashamed of yourself.
    individuality is a special thing but amerika wants everyone to be a clone of itself.. 'cept for the decent people who, like Perez Hilton, embrace the differences between people, cities, countries, nations.
    Leona WILL make it big in the US because she's got a great voice and that won't be improved by changing her looks. She doesn't need to, she's beautiful.
    As for the video - the hair and makeup are gorgeous but that mack looks like its from ASDA - lol. Overall the British version is waaay better.

  83. gemma says – reply to this


    383

    the uk version is better… that ones kinda boring, her hair looks good tho!

  84. me says – reply to this


    384

    Re: Candi – I dont like the inference that Brits don't need more - correct me if I am wrong but aren't us brits the cultured country here with a history so long that it makes America look like it was just discovered! Anglophobic me thinks!

  85. princessmean1 says – reply to this


    385

    I think I like the British version better. I guess because I've been watching it for the past few months!! Still a great song and Leona is going to do awesome in the US. Go Team Leona!!

  86. Rhonda says – reply to this


    386

    I love Leona Lewis. I specail ordered her CD from the UK but I will say the original video is beautiful. I don't know why the felt the need to redo it. It is kind of blah and boring. The visuals in the original are stunning.

  87. amyb says – reply to this


    387

    only watched the first 30 secs but it distinctly reminds me of the spice girls 2 become 1 video from back in the day…

    pretty basic but I wasn't that keen on the UK one either. Still, the song IS AMAZING!

  89. Thirddyfrk says – reply to this

    Love It-She rocks. Better than MiMi-I want more of her. Just AMAZING. DEFINiTELY getting her album. The guy in the video is a cutie.

    the guy in it is her boyfriend in real life. i think his name is lou chama or something like that…

  91. ts says – reply to this


    391

    her voice speaks for itself…but i did like the euro video better i don't know why they changed it. if it was because of technical issues then fair enough, but otherwise they should have stuck with our version. anyway i hope she makes it in the US cos her voice is incredible and she is beautiful

  92. MEFers says – reply to this


    392

    I like the orginial better but this one is still awesome. I already have her CD!! Was able to get it when I was in the UK the day it was released. Its sooo sooo sooo good!

    Re: Desiree – Too much bronzer??? I don't think so, since she is half black. duh!! Leona has true beauty and talent. I hope coming to America doesn't change her into a fake plastic blonde bimbo. The US has too many of those already!!!
