Congratulations Leona!

We were extremely impressed by the level of commitment and talent displayed by entrants to our YouTube Singing Contest.

There were some fantastic renditions of ‘Better In Time’, but our favourite performance was by…

blawah2000 (aka Laura Broad)

Laura’s video performance of ‘Better In Time’ will be added to Leona’s YouTube Favourites for a fortnight, and you can check it out HERE.

Congratulations Laura!

The next song up for your interpretation is ‘I Will Be’, currently attracting a lot of US radio airplay. Video your own rendition of the song and post it as a response to ‘I Will Be’ on YouTube HERE before the contest closes on Wednesday 4th March. Our favourite entry will be name-checked here on Leona’s official site, and added to Leona’s YouTube Favourites for a fortnight. Good luck!
