By Mark I'm not quite sure what I was expecting for this video, but it wasn't this, with throwbacks to "Mariah Carey's" "We Belong Together" video (IMO), Leona is looking like a superstar, gone are the "X-Factor" days of being shy & sheepish. She is looking on-point, sexy while still remaining very humble. It is very exciting to finally see a female from the UK who can honestly be a global superstar, I only hope that her album will contain more R&B rather than more pop tracks. This girl needs to take charge & Represent for the UK scene, which is almost non-existent at the moment.
