hi lankeela, yep, i thought the very same too.
like you say, it wasnt till half way through you actually heard her properly
and she also needed to move the microphone away from her mouth a bit, to see more of her mouth while she sung.
and yes again, i saw a bit of leona lewis tonight and thought she looked 'different', but i couldnt quite put my finger on it.
i did wonder if it was her hooter? it didnt look as 'rounded' at the end as i remembered it to be.
maybe shes had 'some work' done on it?
orr maaaybee she looked different cus of the long straight and flat, hair style she sported tonight....?
and while we are on the subject!
im just watching davina mccall on the million pound drop, that i recoreded earlier, and im thinking she looks a bit 'different' too!
