    My ears are now bleeding. I am 18 and I can't hack this type of music. Got to 1:21. He's a decent singer but not for me. Good luck to him though.
  • all those years playing football when he could of been as big as Usher, and as sh*t.

    The production is awful.
  • It's a real shame that such a pretty girl has that terrible head condition which maens it leans to the side.
  • its as if shes always slightly curious of something in the distance.
  • I think she probably needs some sensible glasses K.

    Yep. I hope they didn't pay for that.
  • He sounds ok, but that type of music is just sooooo dull.

  • Not a bad voice, but isn't 33 a bit old to start a new career singing R'n'B?

    Who is she ? I'm guessing that she is some sort of established artist helping Leon on his first (?) recording. She really is the pits ....did they record her at the wrong speed or something, absolutely dreadful.
    For that kind of "music" Leon seems to have a pretty good voice, but seriously how can anybody listen to that tripe? Is it a case of we're all getting old & we're turning into our Mums & Dads "whats that racket ? you call that music "? etc etc or is it really as shit as we think it is? lol

    Agree, nothing special and maybe a formulaic but he can carry a tune. good luck to him.

    Yea I thought it was OK. Not my type of music but at least he's having a go.
    Lot of haters (as the kids say) on this thread.

    He was getting started with this a couple of years ago I believe!
  • Oh Dear!!!
  • Us old gits won't buy his stuff, but can you see an 18 year old buying music by a 33 year old?

    Apparently, DiCanio has this on his iPod.....................
  • Not many R&B/Urban afficianados on CL is there?
    Having dabbled in that genre for many years I'll happily say that that track is good. Not groundbreaking and deffo not original but I think Leon has a nice tone to his voice. Probably give the track a 'quiet storm' remix and then it's all good.

    Props to the boy, he done good. May this path lead him to personal contentment.

    hate to be a party pooper on anything but computers these days are unbelievable.
    A singer is a good singer if he can sing good live. in my opinion, computers can make stephen hawkins sound great
    i think he sounds a bit like justin beiber in this.

    Wish Leon the best of luck with this. His voice is the best thing about the song and the middle part where he is singing is pretty good. Sometimes I think the producers should be less cynical and not feel the need to tack on a rap (or two in this situation) to appeal to a younger audience. Lose the raps and we have a decent r and b track.

    Urban R&B music is even worse than that Dubstep which is frackin awful.

    He has a good voice mind.
