There are some really weird vocal moments in those clips for me. "White Christmas" sounds awful--that high note Same with "O Holy Night," that high note sounds just under where it's supposed to be. And I wish she had changed up "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" more because it just sounds like a half-baked Mariah version right now. On a more positive note, "One More Sleep" continues to grow on me, even though I wish she had sung it differently/better, it's got a great, building melody. And "Ave Maria" sounds like the crown jewel of the album. Thrilled to hear her do that live. I agree about the notes in "White Christmas" & "Oh Holy Night". I think they could have been implemented better. Disappointed a little bit, as some of the upper belts she did on Glassheart were some of the best she's done in the studio. I do love the arrangement of "White Christmas", although it took me a while to get used to. I love the other vocals as well, it's just those 2 notes really. Personally, I really like "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", especially the end high notes she does. Glad there are positives in your analogy lol. :) For those interested, you can listen to the Cahill Remix of "One More Sleep" here: www.popjustice.com/songs/leona-lewis-one-more-sleep-cahill-remix/

I literally can't get "I to You" out of my head, and I haven't even listened to that song or Glassheart in like a month.

The three uptempo originals are some of the best songs she's recorded. I enjoy them way more than anything on her last two albums.

It's big in the UK/Ireland, but nowhere else basically. Also, Leona's next album is going to bring some of the motown vibe with it and she's really been gunning to work with Bruno Mars. So if you liked some of the arrangements of those songs, you might like her next album, which is due sometime next year. :)

Her version of White Christmas is probably my favorite rendition of the song ever, aside from the original of course. I cannot get it out of my head!!

#50 on iTunes!!! Walmart & Amazon have still yet to update their charts. Hopefully they will later today. Didn't expect it to be so high on iTunes. I thought it was be around the 150 mark. Cannot wait to see how well it does once Leona's promo starts!
