    Was and still am a Leona fan, but it would be naive to believe her voice hasn’t dramatically changed for the worse. Way faster vibrato than ever before, almost like a machine gun. Before, during her X-Factor days and Spirit/Echo eras, it seemed as if she could effortlessly control the speed of her vibrato. Now, it seems like she can’t and she automatically defaults to the machine gun vibrato. Also, it seems like she’s pushing and reaching for the high notes or “belts,” as some like to call it. She needs to work on balancing her mixed voice. It’s too heavy, nasally and inconsistent. Sometimes, she sings in a dark place in her lower register and then she crams the sound into a nasal place as she sings higher. Her head voice is still superb, although there wasn’t much pure head voice here, if at all. She needs to get with a coach ASAP, preferably an SLS/classical coach. There are a few excellent coaches out there. But, to recap, she’s gone significantly downhill. Please don’t try to justify that she’s overworked. Um, no. Her voice has been this deteriorated for years, specifically during/after the Glassheart era.

      The saddest part is that she *IS* classically trained if you know anything about her foray into music before becoming famous. Idk what caused the deterioration but it seems like her voice just decided to desert her💔🤷‍♂️ with no real cause or explanation. She spoke about it in an interview after the glassheart tour I think. She said that the tour really put a lot of emotional strain on her as well as the stuff she was dealing with in terms of her label at the time. She said there was something wrong with her vocal cords and it seems like the problem just doesn't want to go away. Which breaks my heart for her. Being so talented and having it disappear at the drop of a hat. But if Mariah's could m make some degree of a return to a fraction of the voice she had in her prime, I'm hopeful Leon's will too.

    Her voice still has the size and range it always had and she's actually developed her bottom range a little more. But that immaculate falsetto range she could do EVERYTHING with is clearly not the same. She made the high notes famous. It's hard to enjoy her without them. But she's still a great singer.

It got stronger and more comfortable when the commonwealth representatives came on and the choir started their backing vocals as it took the attention off of her.

    The more people leave negative comments the more I think Leona won’t sing! Fair enough positive feedback can help and people are concerned about her voice and are asking questions but to much negative criticism can actually stop a singer from singing again. Leona isn’t stupid she knows there are people commenting on her vocals so she is probably more nervous going on stage now knowing there’s going to be loads of people criticising her vocals afterwards. We need to all accept the voice change and stop comparing her to X factor days. Voice changes anyway over time but it doesn’t meen it’s still not good! Leona still has a great voice and power. We need to accept her voice now and just give her support and confidence. Let’s not be to critical of her performances and give her more positive feedback instead of negative. Leona your still a great singer believe you are there’s many people out there who never want you to stop singing we always love a surprise in your voice.

    Wow, this is very surprising for Leona Lewis. I don't deny her talent but this was all over the place!! I sincerely hope she was having technical issues as I've NEVER seen her perform like this. Her face at 4:18 is very telling about how she also felt about it.

    Leona was human? I'm shookt. This doesn't take her talent away.
