What was she thinking!!!
Leona Lewis's latest offering "Forgive Me" is absolute rubbish and would only sound good at a supermarket!
The song is produced Akon and just sounds wrong! Who does she think she is, the next Mariah Carey (not even she could pull this one off - not a complement!) From the annoying music ( which just doesn't sound right - she never should have let Akon do it) to the borderline-passable lyrics, this song never had a chance. Its seems as though her management team are trying to take her in a new direction and make her "cooler" and target a younger audience - but why! We have enough generic R&B artists out there, why waste your talent and your amazing voice, you can sing but can't dance!
This brings me on to the music video, which after visiting the Warner Brothers Studio's recently, looks as thought they made it on a back-lot in about a day!
The video just feels lost in time. From her modern-ish clothes to the retro-50's looking digs on the guys, to the bad dancing on her part, the vid just doesn't work. She should stick with what she knows and not try to please EVERYONE, remember those who made you what you are! Simon Cowell, where are you!
Scores: Song & Video - 3.5/10 (generous)
At the end of the day this song will still be big (it's the way it goes) but it will be forgettable. It will sound great though at the supermarket, along with their amazing music collection (sarcasm btw)!
Better luck next time Leona!
