This says that all songs on the album are new, bar one. We know "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a cover version so perhaps "A Moment like This" won't be on the album after all. Only time will tell. — AnemoneProjectors ( 会話) 14:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Why did someone edit the credits to Footprints in the sand out?
The credits are true!
Yes, check this site:
Just search for Leona Lewis under performers here: There are also the credits for Take a bow.

Why on earth did you edit the information about the Avril cover and Darin cover out? It is true! I heard the snippets and can 100 % say that. Accept these songs are covers. Coast2coast2 17:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
You can really trust me on that. I listened to the snippets and I know the original songs. So I can say for 100% it are the same songs.
The problem is I can't give you a source because the snippets aren't official yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coast2coast2 ( talk • contribs) 22:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Why is there an emphasis on the critical reviews of her album, surely this is biased??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.175.146 ( talk) 21:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you, this section is not balanced, with negative reviews given immediate emphasis and more space than is reasonable. The album garnered 'generally favorable reviews' according to MetaCritic, a primary source for calculating music reviews. Therefore the emphasis should be the other way around, with deeply negative remarks kept to a minimum. I'll try to fix this by adding a generally favourable review and removing a couple of negative ones. ~ smb 23:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Leona's official website states her album has gone triple platinum http://www.leonalewismusic.co.uk/index.php/news/album_and_single_success/yet wikipedia says 2xplatinum , surely it should say 3xplatinum? and platinum is 300,000 so it should be sales of 900,000 copies, correct me if i'm wrong but surely information on this website is incorrect.
why do you keep changing the certification to 3x platinum? seriously, if it says 1,600,000 sales that should be 5x, not 3x which is 900,000 so looking at the sales of eachweek it is WAY over that. even if there is no source surely you should just say 900,000 then, I hate wikipedia everyone changes it to silly lies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.123.124 ( talk) 10:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
ok but why dont we certify it before they do, it only takes some common sence not a specific award, platinum sales is 300,000 and we know for a fact it has sold 1,600,000 plus so there we are.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.123.124 ( talk)
Is it gonna have a different US release title? http://www.metacritic.com/music/upcomingreleases.shtml [see the 18th of March entry]
"Whatever It Takes" has a new mix on the US album. Why isn't this acknowledged on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.54.73 ( talk) 17:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
This page is ridiculously long for an article about an album. Sections like the CD catalogue numbers and personnel are completely unnecessary. Riksweeney ( talk) 14:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Why remove the personnel section. Why remove any sections at. Why not cut section to just infomation thats is needed ( Sexty2 ( talk) 21:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC))
I have cut out some of the infomation from the article. It is now shorter ( Sexty2 ( talk) 14:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC))
(I'm moving this discussion from my talk page for clarity sake - Mdsummermsw)
There are citations for the certifications e.g. Gold in Germany which is over 100,000 sales. That's why the sales were there so I don't see why you've removed them. Adi39 ( talk) 14:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Forgive Me (Leona Lewis song) is currently a protected redirect and several other drafts have been deleted or userfied per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forgive Me (Leona Lewis song). Protection will expire on October 26 and I'd lift it earlier only if some reliable sources come up. See also User_talk:Tikiwont#Forgive_me.-- Tikiwont ( talk) 08:31, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
It's confirmed on her official website, as well as a re-release of Spirit. The video has been released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.1.175.126 ( talk) 21:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Why they keep deleting Forgive Me when the whole world knows its the next single. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.65.230 ( talk) 21:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Who produced this song?-- 79.204.66.232 ( talk) 09:24, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
I've added these sections to the page, but they probably don't include the information for "Run", "Forgive Me" and "Misses Glass" so would someone be able to check those for me? Thanks. AnemoneProjectors ( talk) 13:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Why doesn't that album have its own page? It's real you know. Marexl ( talk) 04:48, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
For anyone looking to fix/remove the dead external links the references that are marked as dead are numbers 23, 79, 122, and 131. -- vgmddg ( look | talk | do) 23:57, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
As I said on that article's GA review, I propose that Whatever It Takes (Leona Lewis song) is merged here (perhaps with some of the content going into the tour article). While the song is technically notable, as it charted, it certainly doesn't pass the GNG, and there is little to be said about it that is not more usefully said about the whole album. Not every subject which is notable needs to have its own article. J Milburn ( talk) 15:50, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
