Glad you had fun!

This review actually reflected my view pretty much. Although I didn't find her piano rendition of Trouble bad. I found it great that she played it herself. He could have mentioned that she played the drums during Glassheart, because that slayed the show for me.

Looks great! Glad it was sold out, a bunch of haters said it wouldn't

Guess she proved them wrong once again!

This was in Nottingham and it looks quite similar, so I doubt it's shopped. I was also wondering when I saw the pic from last night because I could have sworn I had seen a similar one before and well, there it is.

It isn't, each night she takes someone's camera from the audience and takes a picture like that, here is a video of her doing it one of the nights.

Happy she had a good tour. So sad that Syco messed her up. She was on fire back in the day.

Okay. It just looked weird. Too bad she skips HOlland

The really sad thing is that she's actually so much better now than back then. Glassheart Tour slays The Labyrinth Tour by miles, just like Glassheart slays Spirit, but the GP doesn't care and keeps on giving her the same crap they gave her three years ago. I bet these damn reviewers haven't even actually been to one of her new shows, they just dug out their reviews from three years ago and changed the title.

Well, seems like not everyone is against her at least:

Review: Leona Lewis, Birmingham NIA

Leona Lewis doesn't wear dresses made of meat. Nor does she get hitched to Russell Brand for all of five minutes. She doesn't even post Instagram picture after Instagram picture of herself in bikinis smoking suspicious-looking cigarettes.

What she does do however is sing.

A singer who can sing? Remember them?

So let people say what they want about showbiz smoke and mirrors, Leona is peerless when it comes to the all-important voice. No one can reach those soft lows or soaring highs quite like her.

Since winning the X Factor seven or so years ago, she has honed her craft to become one of the greatest pop vocalists in the world. That's no exaggeration. She's been number one in countless countries, shifted more than 20 million records and been envied by everyone from Anastasia to Beyonce. If Queen Bey's got a case of the green-eyed monster, you know you've got some pipes.

And last night's show at Birmingham's NIA showcased Leona's voice in all its glory.

Stripped back from her previous tour, it was just her, her band and a string quartet.

Starting off in a sweeping red coat before moving on to a sleek and sexy black number (ignore the Daily Mail, Leona's never looked better and has some serious va-va-voom curves on her) she performed songs from Spirit and Glassheart with technical aplomb and from-the-soul emotion.

There was a dash of a Rihanna cover and a bit of Bruno Mars but it was her own songs that really captivated the audience.

The final few numbers were the standout ones. Footprints brought tears to people's eyes before The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face received a standing ovation.

Bleeding Love brought confetti from the ceiling and people to their feet. And yes, she can do that amazing warbly bit at the end just as good live.

Her cover of Snow Patrol's Run closed the show, note perfect and flawless, with Leona rushing to the front of the stage to shake hands with her adoring fans.

So why she may not get the gossip columns going like Perry, GaGa and co, she sure could teach them a thing or two when it comes to the most important thing - the voice.
