Her last album "I Am" underperformed and she disappeared .... her Spirit album is timeless.

She had a successful, stable career for many years "Happy" is one of my favorite songs.

Honestly, yes I do. Obviously if Leona wants to come back its her choice, though. Right now, which powerhouse vocalists do we have topping the charts? Sabrina Carpenter? Ew, give me a damn break.

Just come back Leona

Well yes actually

if you miss her then stream her

Yes. She'd also someone that turned down a lot of potential hit songs.

Yes and it's incredibly sad someone with such a God given talent, a generational talent and beauty, has largely faded from public consciousness. A shame really.

no she's good for a throwback and it's better to stay that way

She's pretty with a good voice but that was not enough to sustain a career. She lacked the hits and the x factor

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.

Spirit was a massive era.

Let me stream her magnum opus Happy

She's never left my household. I still come back to these regularly

Does she miss us?

The horse jokes feel weird in 2026. And also stale.

No. She ain't my mama. I'm not growing up with her music. She has 1 good song and that's it. If you ask me, do you miss Katy Perry? Yes, because during my childhood with usuk music (2008-2013), she's one of the people I listened to a lot. So I miss her.

I'm still bitter that Better in Time peaked at #11. That was my favorite song from Spirit.

Now, *****

She has the same issue as most talent-show singers from American Idol/The Voice/X Factor/etc… they can sing good but are not necessarily artists.

Lack of writing/producing nor an interesting personality just essentially makes them Karoake singers who have to depend on getting lucky the right songs are given to them. The Celine Dion era of artists just simply being vocalists and nothing more are long gone. The singer-songwriter and personality relatability is needed in Pop.

I know my neighbor Hayden that works for Gallup does, she's loved her for a long time. The last time we hung out we got lunch at Saddle Ranch in WeHo, and she was telling me how she felt like Leona's career could've been more stable had she not followed the herd. She passed on so many songs that went onto become huge hits. My friend was very thorough. Bread is her favorite food, so she devoured the whole basket as she was educating me on how Leona essentially placed some bad bets on the wrong numbers. After lunch, we got into my friend's Ford Mustang and went shopping on Rodeo Drive. It was a spur of the moment decision. My friend blasted "Bleeding Love" and "Better In Time" the whole time I rode in the car with her while we made are way over there. I bought these really cute red-hoofed Louboutins. On the drive home, I finally became the disc jokey and took over the reins of the AUX cord and played "Savage" by Meg thee Stallion and "I Get the Bag" by Gucci Mane before we finally arrived at my house. There was a cop on our tail for a bit, but we got rid of him on the 5. I live in Garden Grove on Canter Street, so it's a bit of a trek. When we got to my house, I trotted up the steps of my home before going inside to give my friend the $25 dollar Golden Corral gift card I forgot to give her at her birthday party. I also bought her a Winnie the Pooh book for her daughter. While I could never be a parent myself, I'm proud of my friend Hayden for getting her life together after falling off the wagon a few years ago. I can truly say she's moved onto greener pastures, and I'm so proud of her.

Leona is a constant reminder of my wonderful friend

Ya know the whole referring to a woman as an animal thing. Definitely gets bigger side eye these days versus back then . We have grown and evolved since then. As Jennifer Aniston said we have to be safe with comedy now

We've moved on to side-eyeing AI and Michael Jackson supporters

Didn't she say she was releasing this year? During her Vegas shows she said she sign with island records & will release this year.

Spirit and echo are masterpieces
