Trust me, I lived for Leona from 2006-2010. I have watched every single live performance of Bleeding Love. This isn't 2009 vocals at all, although that is when her voice started to decline.
Eteeen Spirit and Echo, something happened to her voice. Then after months of promo for Echo, her voice literally went and she started sounding seriously nasally, which is what I just heard in that video. I don't know if she had a nose job or seriously damaged her vocal chords, but it's so saddening. I can't even sit through an entire performance of hers anymore without cringing. The best she's come to her prime was singing Hurt at the Royal Variety. She'll never be able to do a performance like Run at X Factor again.
Still, she was one of the best vocalists of this generation, and will be remembered as so.

I personally don't agree, for me her peak era of vocals was 2011, it was 2012 you could first hear things weren't the same.
2011 gave us some of her best performances, it was all so effortless. It's a shame that year was spent recording rather than performing for us.
Honestly if you follow Leona's career closely, you would see just how far she has come vocally again and be jumping for joy.
Could've been a big hit too
