Leona Lewis & Leon Jackson

I bought Leona Lewis’ album about a week ago, “Spirit” and I haven’t been disappointed. Wow, did I just say that? I actually enjoy listening to it! Hang on now, I think I need to sit down. Wait, I am sitting down. This has made me disorientated! Normally I see an album of this genre in the shops and walk right past it and go to find the nu-metal/rock sections as I really am not into R’n'B or any of this type of music, but her voice is stunning. It’s so perfect and I am glad her talent was found as she has so much potential. If you haven’t done so already, check her out. Here’s links to her most popular songs.

A Moment Like This – Her first single that was released when she won The X Factor
Bleeding Love – Her most recent single
(both of which are on her ‘Spirit’ album)

As a sidenote, I can’t believe Leon Jackson is at Number 1 spot with his first single, “When You Believe“. Well, I guess it was inevitable he’d get the number 1 spot as he won the X Factor, obviously he is liked, but certainly NOT by me. I just don’t understand why people love his voice so much. I would much rather have prefered Rhydian to win, and no that’s not a Welsh biased opinion.

Creative Zen

Got my Creative Zen through the post today, was a bit surprised by the size! I mean, my old Creative Zen which died the other week is a brick compared to this one hehe It’s a lot more portable, smaller and is easier to navigate once you get used to the controls. You no longer have the touchpad thingy which you need to “slide” your finger up or down to adjust the sound which is an added bonus. That slider thingy drove me crazy in the last model. Occasionally, I forgot to put the lock on and put the Zen in my jeans, next thing the music is blasting in my ear as the slider thingy rubbed against my leg. The display is great, as is the sound. The menu set up looks *a bit* different but not hugely. It’s pretty easy to get used to. So far, so good. I like it a lot!
