Not bad at all Still my fav performance when it comes to vocals and energy was the Swedish Idol and when it comes to presentation ( intro , outro and choreo ) was the BBC children in need
shark_heather Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 Im so happy to see her enjoying and performing, i just wish the songs was a bit more successful at least in the UK ... such a shame
Mr.X Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 She is getting better and the song is fire, but damn she is constantly out of breath throughout the performance, which she needs to really improve on
Flocon Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 It's a shame this song is not a hit considering how she is giving through with all of this promo
djcalpal Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 I was at Jingle Bell Ball last night.... I love our girl Leigh Anne, but the stage presence just wasn't there. And the live vocals are lacklustre. The audience was dead for her set. Something isn't connecting and I don't know what it is. I love the 2 singles, so I'm really rooting for her - but the spark in here eye is missing, and I don't really see where they can take this next given the lack of commercial success and/or critical acclaim.

A few of her verses were pre recorded ( like Power ) which is super weird why now suddenly she wants to perform My Love live She should have gone live with the verses and pre record the rest , add some adlips live and dance the hell out of it The big issue is that she is not confident alone on stage and this you can see it . Maybe the fact that the songs were not successful also plays a part on it

Maybe the fact that the songs were not successful also plays a part on it Yes she does look like she isn't very confident which would have been ok if the material she is releasing didn't need a confident performance/approach - but they do and sadly even more than under-confident, it is leaving her looking like she is untrained which is WILD since she has been in the business for so long now, constntly recording and performing. At this stage, a singer-performer of her level of experience shouldn't really be struggling with her breathing through a live set. She needs to adapt to her conditions as a singer. Or, you know, do more vocal training I want her to do well and she can of course, but the focus at this point really needs in improving her craft, not just putting out fire songs, clearly...
Hustler Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 The performance was way better than most of y’all made it seem lol there is a clear pattern especially coming from main Jesy stans coming for Leigh but I guess it’s somewhat predictable (and y’all know that is true and I guess it’s part of the post split set-up - it’s not only about giving “constructive criticism” ) Although I have to keep on highlight and agree with many of y’all that at times it seems like she was never trained, she is getting there. I felt like there was energy - then again if somebody on here was there and said what he said I guess it was not how I felt it … For sure I do agree she needs to keep in mastering her live craft. Unfortunately I really think the underperformance of My Love kind of took a toll on how it’s perceived live. Either Stealing Love pulls an unexpected move on charts or … it’s gonna be hard. Especially now that Perrie seems to be coming in early 2024, comparisons will be there …

I can see her label maybe wanting her to jump on some features and more songs out before an album. Yeah it'll be harder for Leigh-Anne when Perrie or Jade release, the more liked members of the group.

It has nothing to do with that, the performances have just not been up to standard. However, saying this she has improved slightly. 2 hours ago, Hustler said: The performance was way better than most of y’all made it seem lol there is a clear pattern especially coming from main Jesy stans coming for Leigh but I guess it’s somewhat predictable (and y’all know that is true and I guess it’s part of the post split set-up - it’s not only about giving “constructive criticism” ) This is absolute BS, myself and the other people that like Jesy too are constructive about both Leigh and Jesy. We are not going to say everything Leigh is doing is incredible when it is not. We expected better and want her to do well, we have been confused why she seems to have gone backwards in her progress.
kishi Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) I still haven't seen the full performance of hers from Afro Punk Festival in Salvador, Brazil. But she and IZA have hinted they are working on something, I cannot wait! ETA: FOUND IT! Edited December 10, 2023 by kishi
SinnerCity Posted December 10, 2023 Posted December 10, 2023 She definitely needs a better vocal arrangement and focus on giving us full choreography. She cannot do both on her own clearly
Danai G Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 I recently listened to My Love and I really like it! Yes, it's not a groundbreaking song but the music video was so good and the song is really catchy. It could become a bigger hit if it had better promotion and if the live performances were more convincing however, I think that the song as a whole can feel lackluster to some people so no matter how many times Leigh-Anne will perform it, if people don't like it, they won't listen to it. I think that her team is doing a good job at keeping her relevant, she has made various appearances in many events, but I don't know if they can help her streaming numbers...She's constantly losing many listeners on Spotify, her songs did not do that good and there is still no trace of the third single. All of this promotion so far feels a little bit pointless, it doesn't get people interested in her music and the production in her performances has been kinda poor. I really wish her the best though, she seems determined to achieve more as a solo artist. Yes, it's going to be difficult but with the right song and the support of her label, Leigh-Anne could build her own fanbase and achieve a hit at least in UK.
Popboi. Posted December 27, 2023 Posted December 27, 2023 Even if she doesn't make it as a big solo artist, may all her solo output be something she can later be proud of and checks another goal in life she had before X Factor.

I totally agree. But she seems determined to achieve more as a solo artist and unfortunately, both of her singles have made zero noise so far, which is not ideal for an artist who is supposed to release an album next year...I just hope that she will not be discouraged, she clearly knows that she needs to work hard to gain more popularity as a solo artist and she has a good team behind her.

WERKER Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Seems like Leigh's team is trying to push out the third single before Pez releases. Rumours on Twitter saying it's coming asap in Feb.
paddii_ Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I don't know why but this suddenly hit. Why did this flop? 😭

Why did this flop? 😭 It's a good introduction to her as a solo artist, regardless of how it charted. I think they should just continue to push her globally and find where her audience is. They shouldn't try to cater/pander to Little Mix fans. She needs her own lane.
