I really don't consider this a "flop" album. As someone said above, she has had no real hit from this album and not too much promo. So 105K after 3 weeks (or 4, however long it's been) is not bad AT ALL. Why don't we wait until after Christmas to say "flop album"? After Christmas is when the radio PD's re-evaluate their playlists. Now that the label sent out "I Got You", maybe it'll get listened to by PD's out there and it may hit top 40. Until then, I wish people would stop using the word "flop". It's so unappropriate in this case. You guys REALLY have to re-evaluate your opinion of FLOP ALBUM. 100k after 3 weeks from a superstar artist is a flop. Especially when her lead single flopped horribly. Her career in the US is over because her label REFUSES to put her with African-American producers or models in her videos. They want her strictly white. Which is cool for the UK, but we need to see GHETTO Leona if she wants to succeed in the US. I want LIL WAYNE on her next track with her dropping it low on a Timbaland beat. You FAILED. Not only did you drop the race card, but you also dropped the desperate-to-sell-records-so-I-pop-my-pussy bailout. No and no.

In "Can't Breathe", at like 2:02, doesn't she sound like Rihanna? Is it just me?

This is a great album, to bad its a flop. 'Too'. Is this just what you do? Go into artists threads and call them a flop? That's productive. Moron. Anyway, nice performance from Leona, but if Simon's insistent on making Leona the Radio 2 Swagger-jack of modern soft rock ballads, he really should think again.

Love that performance, she looked great and the extra adlibs were a nice touch. The live band makes such a difference too.

Just saw her performance of the new Avatar song on So You Think You Can Dance and I must say I did not enjoy it. I was expecting something rather epic. Along the lines of My Heart Will Go On the way they were making it out and it was just meh. Not horrible but not anything I would really want to hear again.

I See You performance: Wasn't as great as I was hoping, but not bad overall. She sounded tired at parts, and I wish they hadn't shortened the song.

Damn, she really was working it on the red carpet. I love the smoldering eyes.

She looked great I love the dress and make-up (not the hair). Its nice to see her in something other than Vivienne Westwood.

I saw I See You on SYTYCD, it doesn't sound that great. I mean I didn't remember any tune from it. and she sounds a bit pitchy at places. Is the recorded version much better?

Her label is a mess. Too many songs out at one time. B!tch is performing CRYING YOUR EYES OUT in the UK, than I SEE YOU on a dance show, then I GOT YOU on Letterman. All in the span of 1 week. A damn mess.
Maybe for the next CD she'll sing R&B so she can be relevant again.

I didn't particularly enjoy that performance on "Dance". Vocally messy for her standards & the song comes nowhere close to Titanic theme.

I don't know why they picked "I See You" for the movie. It's such an average song with a not so catchy melody. I can't stand "My Heart Will Go On," but it's clear which is the better constructed song.
