I was there and Leona shone like a diamond ,she sings from the heart, beautiful.Those who say all she does is covers obviously dosn't do their homework.Have a listen to the glassheart album
Makes me laugh when people insult her! I mean seriously I doubt any of you could sing any better or achieve as much as she has! she inspires me to reach for your dreams! Stop hating and focus on yourselves! you only live once! I think she's a good role model!
Omg! I soooooooooooo wish Leona would have take the cut on this one, it sounds SO beautiful with her voice. No shade on Rihanna, RiRi makes some good hits but Leona make this sounds so stunning. I wish she was popular in the US :/
All the negative comments are obviously just jealous Rihanna fans because Leona sings it better. And so what if she's covering it, it's not like Rihanna wrote it herself. Good job Leona.
i suppose u can either love or hate the performance but personally i think its another amazing performance from leona and with all due respect this song was written for leona but she gave it to rihanna so this is the real version leona style
Why so rude? Is it hard to actually express your feelings without swearing? Leona's voice has changed a lot. No idea what it causes. But Leona can really, really sing great. Only dare to say an artist can't sing with doing some research. Just try some of the live versions of Better in time, Bleeding Love, Collide and Broken. Besides, what are you doing here if you don't appreciate the song?
Well said monsterdaddy666 some artist/singers cover Rihanna's music and turn it into musicals, church hems and operas. As we know it Rihanna is the queen of fragile ballads... Russian Roulette, unfaithful, Diamonds, man down , firebomb etc
Leona's version is amazing, as is Rihanna's. Put it this way, if this was a Leona track and Rihanna covered it, you'd bash her as much as you are with Leona. Go and see Leona live, in person, not on camera like I did. I'm just saying, Leona is amazing, as is Rihanna's original version. I love both versions. Just chill the fuck out on your Leona bashing. Check her wiki, her sales, for the people saying she isn't all that. You're forgiven.
no not everyone is in the same league when writing songs Jessie j writes her own songs so does lady gaga and countless others, i suppose it depends on your taste in music to determine who is a better songwriter but i do agree that Rihanna really cries her soul into this song but Leona has just covered it she isnt as emotionally connected to it in comparison to Rihanna
OK i apoligise for that foolish remark indeed it was 'we found love' however sia wrote this song and recorded it then gave it to Rihanna once again demonstrating that artists like Leona (who pre-recorded we found love) and sia (who pre-recorded diamonds) are real artists. Rihanna might be more famous you may argue however sia and Leona can cover any song they wish. and FYI Wikipedia not a good source for info try E-NEWS
Only Rihanna can sing it with emotion? Talk about deluded. Leona has the instrument to actually convey the emotion of the song. Rihanna gave like one decent performance of this song but it doesn't even touch Leona's. And Leona can sing way better than she did here.
This version is absolutely boring. Maybe she would have done "Halo " some justice if it was given to her but "Diamond" wasn't the right song for her and it wouldn't have gone to #1 if she would've sung it.
Leona is a great singer and did a great job, but honestly I really prefer the raspy tone Rihanna brings to the song. I just think Rihanna makes this song so much more emotional because of the way she sings it. It's like she feels the pain. No offence to Leona though, because she has amazing vocals!
Whitney was in a completely different league to Rihanna,so lets not go down that path as for the the recording i am not entirely sure therefore i am not going to argue a point i am not 100% clear on u clearly do not like this cover which is entirely your right to have as for me personally i have no problem with Leona on this cover
Sia DIDN'T record Diamonds. Benny Blanco and StarGate made the music and asked her to write the lyrics FOR Rihanna! Sia just covered the song and nothing apart for that. Whitney Houston wrote just a song or two in her career, and still was a superstar that's a zero indicator! This is a horrible cover for the record, only Rihanna can pull it with emotion!
I love leona but this did not work. I wish she would stop with the covers!! Instead start producing catchy awesome tracks to go with your fantastic voice. Something in my opinion has never happened since bleeding love! Also sort this awful dress sense of yours. So unflattering and granny like. Great to see the curls back though
When we talk about songwriting they are all in the same league! She didn't write, she had success, same happens with Rihanna, at the end of the day she is singer not songwriter. I don't hate the cover, however, it lacks emotion and it's senseless, Rihanna cries herself out when she performs it, a difference! Btw she is out of tune too.
RIhanna is NOT the Queen of Ballads... she can't even sing properly first of all. At absolute best, Rihinna's singing is okay. Absolute best = studio recording.
This totally proves that you need more than just a cute voice to bring a song to life. She hasn't changed a bit, she's still a lifeless singer. Boring.
She can make any song in this world sound amazing. Love Leona!
I love this Leona is amazing she is such a beautiful person inside and out
I was there and Leona shone like a diamond ,she sings from the heart, beautiful.Those who say all she does is covers obviously dosn't do their homework.Have a listen to the glassheart album
Leona is amazing
this is first cover of this song that i love!
I love Leona she is amazing
Enough with the comparisons. I was there and personally loved this cover. Nice one Leona!
the greatest voice of all time
Awesome as always! What a voice!
Makes me laugh when people insult her! I mean seriously I doubt any of you could sing any better or achieve as much as she has! she inspires me to reach for your dreams! Stop hating and focus on yourselves! you only live once! I think she's a good role model!
AMAZING
love it so powerful amazing
QUEEN LEONA. So amazing. Thanks for the upload!
Omg! I soooooooooooo wish Leona would have take the cut on this one, it sounds SO beautiful with her voice. No shade on Rihanna, RiRi makes some good hits but Leona make this sounds so stunning. I wish she was popular in the US :/
That voice...
Love it!!
I want to hear the studio version soooo baaaad *0*
Amazing cover!
Leona is the Queen
All the negative comments are obviously just jealous Rihanna fans because Leona sings it better. And so what if she's covering it, it's not like Rihanna wrote it herself. Good job Leona.
Wonderfull job Craig! Thanks for the upload!
Rihanna the best
Wicked ! thanks for posting and a high five to the guys who strip the stage and rebuild for next nights performance WELL DONE GUY`S !
Rihanna WHOOOOOO?!
No
Awesome
both have different voices and their own versions ... both great! personally i prefer the original by rihanna
i suppose u can either love or hate the performance but personally i think its another amazing performance from leona and with all due respect this song was written for leona but she gave it to rihanna so this is the real version leona style
I prefer Leona's version. Rihanna sings it with attitude and unique style which is great but Leona has the soul and better techniques.
ñ entendi a roupa mas adorei o cover. leona é linda e a voz tambem, sem +
I prefer Rihanna version, but Leona is amazing!
Why so rude? Is it hard to actually express your feelings without swearing?
Leona's voice has changed a lot. No idea what it causes. But Leona can really, really sing great. Only dare to say an artist can't sing with doing some research.
Just try some of the live versions of Better in time, Bleeding Love, Collide and Broken.
Besides, what are you doing here if you don't appreciate the song?
I Love you!!!
O BRASIL TE AMA!!!
Bjsss.
Well said monsterdaddy666 some artist/singers cover Rihanna's music and turn it into musicals, church hems and operas. As we know it Rihanna is the queen of fragile ballads... Russian Roulette, unfaithful, Diamonds, man down , firebomb etc
now i actually understand the lyrics after this vid haha
and btw FYI Rihanna has co-wrote over 30 songs!
She did! She didn't just sing one song at the concert! LOL
mother of Leona
Cute cover, but Rihanna will always slay, I prefer her Vocals to anyone so I'm not judging :)
Leona's version is amazing, as is Rihanna's. Put it this way, if this was a Leona track and Rihanna covered it, you'd bash her as much as you are with Leona.

We Found Love was "written" for Leona... this was written straight for RIHANNA! Check Wikipedia for God Sake!
This version is absolutely boring. Maybe she would have done "Halo " some justice if it was given to her but "Diamond" wasn't the right song for her and it wouldn't have gone to #1 if she would've sung it.
first it was "i can sing we found love better than riri" and now this. babe i love you but just stop,do your own thing
Even funnier because riri would outsing her on this song anyway
Leona is a great singer and did a great job, but honestly I really prefer the raspy tone Rihanna brings to the song. I just think Rihanna makes this song so much more emotional because of the way she sings it. It's like she feels the pain.
No offence to Leona though, because she has amazing vocals!
.i. si no la conoces buscalaa en google :)
This version is bit different from Rihanna's.
a porodia disso e to sem sinal da tim
u must need your head testing if u even dare think rihanna is a better vocalist then leona seriously!!!!???
She sounds good but rirs rasp and emotion carry this song
Whitney was in a completely different league to Rihanna,so lets not go down that path as for the the recording i am not entirely sure therefore i am not going to argue a point i am not 100% clear on u clearly do not like this cover which is entirely your right to have as for me personally i have no problem with Leona on this cover

@rimf25 Hope you're not serious! LOL
you are sick.. leona is amazing, it's the quality of the video that sucks
lol.
I love leona but this did not work. I wish she would stop with the covers!! Instead start producing catchy awesome tracks to go with your fantastic voice. Something in my opinion has never happened since bleeding love! Also sort this awful dress sense of yours. So unflattering and granny like. Great to see the curls back though
Boring as usual!
When we talk about songwriting they are all in the same league! She didn't write, she had success, same happens with Rihanna, at the end of the day she is singer not songwriter. I don't hate the cover, however, it lacks emotion and it's senseless, Rihanna cries herself out when she performs it, a difference! Btw she is out of tune too.
Rihanna never gonna sing like Leona...........never.....cause Rihanna in live performance ruined her owns songs.
O_O
RIhanna is NOT the Queen of Ballads... she can't even sing properly first of all. At absolute best, Rihinna's singing is okay. Absolute best = studio recording.
Tiene linda voz pero no me gusta como lo hace :l
Shit, really!!! Rihanna the beeeeeest ever
This totally proves that you need more than just a cute voice to bring a song to life. She hasn't changed a bit, she's still a lifeless singer. Boring.
rihana es mejor
