Labels want artists to perform their monster singles at big award shows because that's what their more than likely nominated the most for. Just like I'm sure she'll perform BL at the Grammy's next year......just because..........it was the biggest single of this year. Just like Mariah did at the 2006 Grammy's.

The Grammys are more traditional though. We all know Leona is going to be showered with many Grammy nominations for "Bleeding Love" and Best New Artist. It would be proper then to perform "Bleeding Love" on the Grammys. However, the VMA's are much different and far from traditional and conservative. I think it would be best for her to perform and promote "Better In Time" at this show. We've all heard "Bleeding Love" so many times now, it's time for brand new fresh performances of a new song.

She's in the UK at the moment after doing a quick promo tour of Germany, Italy, France and Spain. Think she stays in Europe until mid-July from the schedule various fan sites have cobbled together so promo in the USA won't kick-start again until latish July - which would tie in with the radio adds date for Better In Time.
France: 21st June: Le Fête de la Musique (recorded 14th June)
UK: 27th June: Nelson Mandela concert, Hyde Park, London
France: 28th June: NRJ Music Tour concert, Amnéville (Metz)
Germany: 5th July: Energy In The Park concert, Berlin
Austria: 12th July: Energy In The Park concert, Vienna
Sweden 14th July: Victoriadagen, Borgholm
China 24th August: Beijing Olympic Games closing ceremony

The only other time she hasn't sung BIT recently was on the French song of the year, and as has been said above on certain award shows they want the huge hit singles which is why Rihanna was still performing Umbrella on some shows 2-3 singles down the line. In Italy and Germany recently she did Better In Time as she did for the French concert which airs tomorrow. Anyway on allaccess.com Better In Time is a hot pick for: Z100 New York Q102 Philadelphia B103.9 Florida so that's a nice start. Be really good to see how this one goes.

Q102 is the station that plays their top songs like 150+ times a week so that's definitely a good sign to have their support. I think this will probably just break into the Top 5 when all is said and done, which would be great.

Leona's going to be so tired after all of this promotion is over at the end of the year. I won't look for a follow up album until late 2009.

I get the feeling she loves the recording studio and would be back there at the drop of a hat - I think the limit on what she puts out will be physical tiredness from the necessity to travel and promote ad nauseum. It really is a young person's game which is why I often cringe at the criticism of older artists for not visiting territory upon territory pimping their latest single.
It'd also be interesting to see what else she recorded for this album era - rumours are they laid down over 40 songs. Eighteen have so far appeared on various versions of the album (UK, USA, Japanese) and there's a 19th track Myself which appeared on myspace and was a duet with Novel (co-written by Novel and G Ram). We know she worked with Diane Warren and that hasn't been seen, and there's a few others whose names I've forgotten now.

Does anyone think this won't be a hit? I think it'll be top 5 just on the coattails of BL.

I was going to say... it's always good to get the Q102 add... no one burns their records like Q102 does! :o
