Seen her twice this week now, X Factor last weekend and Alan Carr tonight - new song is truly awful and really hate her style of singing - although I appreciate she has a great voice - am I in the minority?

Shhhhhhhhh!! Apparently she has a relative that posts on MN

So ffs don't mention her nose Shock

Oh wait you didn't

Carry on then Grin

RinderThrillerNight · 13/10/2012 01:10

Oh dear. Apparently saying anything against Leona on here is forbidden as a relative of hers is a MNer apparently.

Disclaimer, I hold no opinion of LL at all. But I did see a thread earlier about her and the above seemed to be the case!

YANBU, you are allowed to like/dislike anyone you want.

Not sure why you need a thread on it though? I would just turn off if someone I didn#t like came on the TV.

RinderThrillerNight · 13/10/2012 01:10

Dammit. Worra beat me! Grin

lesley2460 · 13/10/2012 01:12

Yes, I'm quite capable of turning the TV off!! Just wondered if anyone else felt the same or if it was jut me. Really sorry for starting a pointless thread

There is a relative on here, I remember the thread where she mentioned it. SHe is a very well known, and loved, MNer and can't see her worrying about comments on here. She is a very strong lady. Grin
On the other hand Leona does my head in...one too many notes!Grin

MummysHappyPills · 13/10/2012 01:14

Not big into pop music, but have always had a soft spot for leona, thiugh never really rated any of her songs. BUT her new song has really caught my attention. Have even started this thread about it! Smile

chocoluvva · 13/10/2012 01:14

I find her songs boring.

I don't like some of her vocal 'mannerisms' either.

fatlazymummy · 13/10/2012 01:16

No you're not alone. I find her songs very boring and annoying. I couldn't stand that 'keep on bleeding 'one, unfortunately it was played quite a lot in my local shopping precinct. I hate that style of music anyway and it's not something I would ever choose to listen to.
I'm sure she's a lovely girl though. [To Leona's rellie]

giraffesCantGoGuisingAsZebras · 13/10/2012 01:16

Am friendly with the MNer in question and don't imagine she would give much of a fuck about threads like this, bigger fish to fry in life!

I would be here all night if I posted all the slebs I disliked. Actually I can't sleep so perhaps I should?!

MummysHappyPills · 13/10/2012 01:18

Yes let's! Amanda holden, mylene klass, jeremy clarkson, peter andre...

lesley2460 · 13/10/2012 01:20

Kerry Katona, Katie Price, Keith Lemon, Paddy McGuinness ....

Did she dump her long-term boyfriend when she got too famous for him?

giraffesCantGoGuisingAsZebras · 13/10/2012 01:39

But MHP Peter Andre loves his kids :(

MummysHappyPills · 13/10/2012 01:53

I know he does. Puts the rest of us non-loving parents to shame. (And of course his assertions are not designed to suggest that KP does not love her kids or at least not as much)

SadPunk · 13/10/2012 01:54

I don't like or dislike her, couldn't sing one of her songs with a gun to my head. I gave up on xfactor type things after Will Young (we had a party and voted for him lots Grin).

YANBU though you can dislike her just as much as you like.

giraffesCantGoGuisingAsZebras · 13/10/2012 01:54

I think everyone should write "I really love my kids" at the end of each post. Without doing that people may assume you hate them.

ErikNorseman · 13/10/2012 02:58

I don't pay much attention to pop music or your x pop factor who's got the strictly singing winning business, but I liked that snow patrol one she did, always makes me well up. She has a stunning voice.

FamilyStress · 13/10/2012 03:09

Can't stand her, that new song is bloody drivel.

MrsRhettButler · 13/10/2012 03:14

Its not my type of music but she's got a great voice and she seems really nice in her interviews.

Whitecherry · 13/10/2012 07:45

She did something particularly nice for the MNer who is a relative. It was when she was in the x factor and I found it very touching, so have to like her still.

greenbananas · 13/10/2012 07:57

Not the kind of music I would buy. However, whenever I hear her on the radio I am awed by her - she has a truly lovely voice.

You can like and dislike who you choose, but I think posting randomly negative stuff on MN about celebrities is a bit unkind Sad

ssd · 13/10/2012 08:05

who is the mnetter who is her relative then?
