Leona Lewis - Run - The X Factor USA 2011 (Live Final Show)

[@hendriksahertian5525]

For 12 years straight…i always comeback to this…her performance is beyond this world…simply pure talent..

[@chamaratase]

Can I just say.... this is live. And her music video sounds exactly like this. Which means the voice isn’t distorted by technology. This is pure talent.

[@Sabreen24]

She is just so amazing wow. She deserves a grammy. So sick of the crap on the radio, this is real talent.

[@Robert_01]

You said it 👏🏼 🙌🏽

[@TouchMusicForlag]

I am glad I have a switch to turn off the crap coming out of the radio......how on earth is it possible to make those sounds, and even call it music???

[@guynusa]

I think she is beyond their levels. Shes the best of all the women singers this day and age. She is wonderful

[@chuckgemme6733]

This woman should be everywhere. Such a incredible talent!

[@adamsummers6074]

Whoever did her make up and hair is brilliant. And that voice, Leona 🥹🥹

[@Rejisama]

Can't believe that I've been watching this performance by Leona every year for 10 years already! Her best rendition of Run. So much grace, skill and talent. Leona's voice deserved superstardom.

[@chuckcarlini2807]

All the assholes screaming in the background totally ruined it! Shut the f7ck up!

[@bearin29]

I can't stop listening and watching her. She is mesmerizing.

[@iseirokonaceva1986]

Same here...I never get tired of watching this version of RUN...

[@maggie14235]

Her voice is insane !! Her runs are so perfect and clean ! Such a pleasure to listen to

[@CrazyFriendlyGamerAlex]

Ikr. I'm huge fan of her songs. Sometimes to repeat them is a painXD But that never stopped me from trying:D

[@skaa_1089]

Her voice is so unique, it's very heavenly and light but she can also make it deep when she needs too.

[@kctully3811]

So many years later and I still get chills everytime I see the live versions of her singing this song. So powerful!

[@SaMoaSix8Five]

Beautiful! Like Mariah, and Whitney, Jennifer Hudson etc., Leona's pipes just gives me goosebumps! Love her!

[@johnnyhagen279]

The ass pipes lmao

[@mtgsk5180]

Omgosh!!! she is stunning!!! she looks soooo amazing with her hair tied in a ponytail ❤❤❤❤

[@sandraleigh3681]

Honestly, she's making me question my sexuality.

[@yauki1312]

Too bad the audience ruined it with all that screaming. She looks very classy with her hair tied back. I would pay good money to see her sing. She is such an amazing graceful singer. Love from Canada

[@sofdaniels1972]

Agree

[@jinkertsun]

Just seen this in 2022 and agree. They shouldn’t have run the video behind Leona when she was singing because the tools in the audience can’t stay quiet for three minutes.

[@amriaye7593]

Adding all the people in the screens..

[@chandratandjung8311]

[@arthurb8924]

It’s not exactly a classy audience

[@AN77811]

Now this is what a real star looks like . Leona is more put together than any other video I've seen when singing Run. She looks more natural and has a maturing about her that shoots this video into infinity and beyond . This video performance is the full definition of the total package.

[@joetawan2408]

Still watching at 2021...wht a spectacular voice.LW.

[@jasmineying3219]

I'm a big fan of Leona Lewis. Her voices so astonishing and she's beautiful too. She's singing this song perfectly. Love it 😍

[@mucked4u283]

absolutely one of the most moving performances in the history of music.

[@michaelpoyntz9122]

This performance to me is a masterpiece of performance on Leona's part. Her poise and vocal control and range throughout the song is just spectacular! She is such a stunning women that this song could raise her to the level of Godless in the eyes and ears of many! For bringing the whole package to the stage and microphone Leona Lewis is in a league of her own!

[@julieanne2285]

She's stunningly beautiful as always

[@VvickushkaA]

This is flawless and pure perfection, i can´t get enough of her performances:)

[@Foretelling]

I think she is the best vocalist Britain has ever produced in the history of music.

[@mohdfaizolhassan9443]

Indeed. And asia do love her the most..

[@karimtayara211]

That's so wrong omg she has a really constricted range and she's off tune

[@mohdfaizolhassan9443]

Kreamy Cool really ?? I think you could teach her.. do me a favour, call her and let her know the weakness.

[@Blackjax137]

Mohd Faizol Hassan Luke Quinn Quit with the red herring fallacies. Do you need to be an electrician to conclude that a lightbulb isn't working? Do you need to be a professional chef to dislike food? No. You don't need to be music artist to critique another artist either. Red herring fallacies can be utilized well in order to trick others into believing you have a point. It's often used by politicians and reporters. It's also used by idiots (like you two) that don't even know they're doing it, which is one of the biggest signs of ignorance out there.

[@mohdfaizolhassan9443]

Blackjax137 i think we both know who is idiot. What is worse? Someone who can read and not really understand what actually the point.

[@alecspeer]

Beautiful doesn't begin to start to describe this rendition of her hit. Wonderful songwriting and incredible delivery.

[@mexikat]

Now - Leona Lewis is the perfect example of class and grace and beauty - charm, humility, talent. She is everything that women once strove for. She doesn't flash her breasts; she doesn't use filthy, foul language, she doesn't "twerk", she does not behave like such a huge majority of the manufactured, over-done, over made-up pop stars of today are and do. The lowest class and nastiest ones have been playing as role-models for young girls for too long. This girl deserved all the best that life offers and she is what a truly talented and moral role model should be. She doesn't have a sex tape - she's not parading all of her personal life in a trashy tabloid. It is so sad that we are all so amazed at her characteristics because she's such a beautiful, rare person. She deserves all of the most wonderful of everything life has to offer. I didn't mean to preach or go on and on. Simply put: she is so lovely and talented and deserving!!

[@gtheman1945]

That woman can sing....ohh gosh...what a heavenly gift...I am tired of those pop corn singers and trashy nd sensless lyrics the industry is promoting..sssmmmhhh!

[@mexikat]

Gregory L'Herisse Amen!! She reminds of when singers were pure talent - no need for electronic voice adjustments - just sing!! Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Fleetwood Mac - Eric Clapton (all the way back to when he was part of Derek and the Dominoes - Layla) - Paul Davis - I'm showing my age.... oh well, poor generations of today - I pity them. There are still great talents today - but too much of it is so generic, rap twisted, adjusted and soulless. Oh well, that's what "older folks" (like me) do - talk about how everything was better "in my day". LOL

[@SuzyDeany]

yes i agree 200%

[@pecfree]

Agree bro. Incredible

[@pratigyat1557]

She is beautiful in every way! You are so right!

[@verenagallati8970]

One of the greatest voices l ever heard... Incredible....

[@rachd31]

I remember when I first heard her sing this on the live lounge, on the radio. It made me stop what I was doing. I just sat and listened in awe of her talent.

[@forloveofchrist]

Wow I just love to hear her sing and man is she beautiful!

[@judyschroffel450]

She is the best vocalist ever discovered in the UK reality music games! Simply sensational talent! Much like Adam Lambert....a one in a million talent!

[@esclad]

One spotlight and Leona, that's all it needed. The backdrop distracts us from her amazing performance.

[@Donna777]

I was thinking the same! They should have been showing Leona's performance on all those big screens!! She gets lost in all that action going on in the background, but her voice still powers over everything. Amazing and beautiful!

Can't work out if they're cheering for Leona or the contestants on the video. Either way, the poor girl did well to keep going with all the noise they were making.

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

Pure bad manners...a terrific vocal performance, partly drowned out by a buch of folks who have no idea of the magnitude of this young lady;s vox......AWESOME.... If you like mellow songs with a young lady, her guitar and a beautiful simple song with no heavy production, stripped bare and which gives nowhere for the singer to hide(vocally speaking), google BREATHE by JASMINE LAMPORT. Zero cheering in the foreground...headphone job!!!!!!!!!...enjoy.

[@SkibopDaSequel]

SONIC FOXX(home of original SONGS..no videos required!!) lol all we know how to do is scream, I wish we were more organized and had fanchants instead

[@QilinRider21]

most likely the latter

3:25 always takes my breath away. The control, the tone. It's perfection. She seamlessly morphs from a full belt to a falsetto tone an octave higher.

Leona is so incredibly talented and beautiful! She was on her way to being a superstar! She hit the music scene around the same time Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Whinehouse etc came out. There was a sudden shift in music back to electronic also. Leona had the talent and staying power of Whitney. Leona should be so much bigger than she turned out. It’s almost like the universe went wrong. It makes me angry the way Simon abandoned her after.

[@Maidendg]

This was the first time I have ever heard Leona sing, I was blown away by her beautiful voice. I never heard anything like it. I thought it was disrespectful to have people screaming at the videos being shown while she was performing and it seems like they put her in a corner of the stage instead of where she should be, front and center.

[@em_wan]

Loved this performance, hated the whole situation. If the video clip was the focus, why even bothered to invite an artist onto the stage?

[@samurai1999]

I'm sure it was more that Simon wanted a slot for Liona so he could show her off to the US audience, and this was the only opportunity in a packed show...
