The fact that dozens of non-fans (and some outright dislikers) have said the performance really touched them makes it epic to me. Her vocals, presence/look & the staging were all great. I do think her performance of it on Radio 1's Live Lounge was better on a technical level though.

Sure, Leona has an amazing voice, but that doesn't make that performance epic. Myself, I find 'Run' rather boring.

If people think songs with meaning are BORING they need to get a taste in music.

No one said anything about songs with meaning being boring, I love alot of songs with meaning but Run is just not one of them. That's my opinion, you'll have to deal with it. :)

She should just release Run both in the UK and US at the same time.
And that performance was epic!

i LOVE this beautiful song. it's one of the best songs on her album so it will be huge. but i don't understand why they let her sing this Avril-leftover... it's like when Clive tried to make Kelly cover a Lindsay Lohan song...

I thought the story went they were both recording with Max Martin at the time and after Avril had added her two words to get the co-write signed off she did the demo it was decided not to pursue it so MM offered it to Leona with Avril's consent. Then Avril decided to add it as a bonus on some issues of the album. It's like describing Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" as a BC Jean leftover.

Not everybody will hear the SE influence, because I sure as heck don't after you've all pointed it out for months. I think JamaicaFunk is the only other person who doesn't hear it besides me lol. Edit: Yes, the Kelly song passed down to Lindsay is 'Black Hole'.

That is an amazing performance. First time hearing that song too, and I love it. You haven't heard the original by Snow Patrol? It's amazing. Way better than Leona's version IMO.

I'm still one of the few hoping they would just release Angel....if they want a winter hit, Angel is what they need to give the people. It steers from the typical ballady songs she's releasing, and could warm up FM to be a massive hit in the Spring...

The 'Run' performance is spectacular! :o
Avril wrote this song with Max Martin and for some reasons, she decided not to include in on her album (a huge mistake) and Max gave it to Leona.
