Amazon.co.uk Review
Leona Louise Lewis is something of an anomaly. Not only is she pretty and endowed with a wonderfully elastic (four-octave) vocal range--she's also a committed vegetarian and one of the few X Factor/TV talent show winners not to immediately try to capitalise on her success with an album of weak covers. Instead, her mentor Simon Cowell (and team) have coaxed Lewis into the studio with some of America's biggest talents--Dallas Austin, Jam & Lewis--and come up with an album of weak originals. You couldn't exactly call "Spirit" a bad album. It carries memorable melodies, some classic song-writing and, of course, Lewis' seriously potent voice (she's been compared to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey already). But what the album lacks is personality. Songs like "Bleeding Love" (produced by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney) are technically flawless, but you're left thinking `is this all the sass and sparkle a bonafide Hackney gal can muster?' "The Best You Never Had", the Ne-Yo produced "I'm You" and many other songs here follow this play-it-safe formula, while the album's ballads--"Footprints in the Sand", for example--are so bland even Whitney and Mariah would wince. Still, there's no doubt Lewis is a real talent. Perhaps if she ditches the overpaid `superstar' producers next time and makes the album she wants to make, we might finally hear some of her real `spirit'. --Danny McKenna

BRILANT ALBUM FROM A BRILLANT TALENT July 5, 2008

THIS ALBUM IS TIGHT DON'T KNOW WHY SHE HAD TO DO HER ALBUM IN AMERICA THOUGH.
RIGHT FIRST OFF:
Bleeding love- Loved this song from first time i heard it
Whatever it takes- Brillant song
Homeless-Really shows off her vocal talent
Better in time-brillant song but getting a bit bored of it now
Yesterday-one of my favourite tracks on the album
Take a bow- THIS NEEDS TO BE A SINGLE A BRILLANT TRACK EVEN MY DAD LIKES THIS AND HE DOESN'T LIKE RNB AND HE IS 47
I will be- Did anyone know that avril lavienge wrote this song, not one of my favorites but still a great song
Angel-Brillant slow ballad for all the lovers
Here i am- Again really shows off her vocal talent
I'M you- This song was written and co-produced by ne-yo, another brillant track, ne-yo writes fantasic songs
The best you never had- a great song really catchy
The first time i ever saw your face-This is a cover version but i don't know who done the origional,really shows off her vocals. This song gives me goosebumps
Footprints in the sand- very emotional ballad
A moment like this-good song.
YOU NEED THIS ABLUM BECAUSE UNLIKE OTHER AMERICAN ARTISTS SHE HAS WRITTEN 12/14 SONGS AND SHE HAS A BRILLANT VOICE. PEOPLE NEED TO STOP COMPARING HER TO MARIAH CAREY, EVEN THOUGH I LOVE MARIAH CAREY, I THINK LEONA LEWIS IS A TALENT IN HER OWN RIGHT.
Brilliant Album June 13, 2008

A fitting, very well produced album for a magnificent voice.
All the songs are absolute quality and allow Leona Lewis to display her powerful vocal range. The album also has 3-4 potential hits other than 'Bleeding Love,' which is great. A wonderful album to listen & relax to; anytime of the day or night.
THE NEXT MARIAH- AMAZING!!! May 12, 2008

wow.
Bleeding Love = Well, you know its amazing!
Whatever it takes= Its inspiring. Its a turnaround after hearing bleeding love.
Homeless= Christina Aguilera ballad coming thru! Sounds like "Hurt"!
Better in Time= plinky plonky! Cant believe it didnt get to number 1 in britain!! We have no taste!
Yesterday= Sounds like Mariah Carey's new song "Bye Bye". Beautiful ballad. GREAT high note!!
Take a bow= INSTANT.CLASSIC. Should be released soon!! REALLY CLASSIC POP!
I Will Be= Hint of rock in this song. Originally by avril lavigne!
Angel= A LOT of peoples fave song. Its nice. thats all.
Here I Am= A copy of mariah Careys "Hero" except its not half as effective and isnt as strong.
I'm you= I didnt understand it at first, but it is a good song!
The Best you never had=Again, a lot of people like this one! Its sweet but it doesnt suit leona. More suited for... natasha bedingfield maybe??
Footprints= Beautiful. Absolutely. totally. Lovely :)
A moment like this= A lot of people may find this annoying after hearing it so much back in 2006, but when you hear it again, it'll give you the chills. amazing voice on this girl!
Overall, a brilliant album!!
Better than whitney, but not up to mariah's standard yet, but in leona's own words "It'll all get better in time!"
