[Watch] Leona Lewis Takes Christmas To The 2013 Rockefeller Tree Lighting Ceremony




Leona Lewis was hit and miss for me during her set for the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Rockefeller center.

Singing three songs from her own Christmas album, Christmas, With Love, the Diva gave one great rendition and another not so great. I've yet to see the third performance, so don't know if it was another iffy showing from the singer- something that seems to be more common these days- or overall a good set, minus the one mishap.

One More Sleep was the track Leona handled well. The possible reason for this could have something to do with her having sung it live a few times already, thus being more confident with it. White Christmas was the mess. Either she was doing some crazy jazz interpretation or was just flat and off- I'm going with the latter. And even if it was the former, it still wasn't pleasant to my ears. I wish it could be Christmas Everyday, AKA the "decider", was the one performance I couldn't seem to track down. I will update if and when I find.

Christmas, With Love is out now!





Thoughts?

  1. I thought White Christmas sounded like a completely different song and one that had absolutely nothing to do with christmas. But as long as I didn't pay attention to the title or listen to the words (something anyway better not done with most popsongs these days), I really enjoyed the singing.

  8. I can't handle the person recording Last Christmas lol.
    But yeah I love Ariana Grande's Christmas songs, she's released three out of four (Last Christmas Remix, Love is Everything, Snow in California) so far, and I personally think they're a great little tease to keep her in the light after Yours Truly, I did notice her vocals were a teensy less showy, and they sounded great and solid too.
