Ten things about the new Leona Lewis single

Who's that sat on some steps? Why, it's Leona Lewis, and she's just parked her arse on a bunch of roses. Oh dear. Leona has a new single coming out. And it's not dreadful. Who'da thunk? Here's some things about it.

1) It is called Bleeding Love
2) It is about neither sex during menstruation or some kind of weird blood fetish.
3) It is very, very good.
4) It proves that Leona Lewis is a) a proper popstar and b) perhaps the X Factor isn't so useless after all
5) It sounds very 80's, but also very now, without using synths. Go figure
6) It is the second time this year that some kind of reality TV winner has followed up a mawkish ballad with something midtempo and brilliant. The first time being Jordin Sparks' Tattoo, which is still good, even though it's basically Umbrella but less electro and with even stupider lyrics.
7) It could be that Leona may be the second reality pop act to release a non-terrible debut album. But only if she includes A Moment Like This as a bonus track, rather than a proper part of the album.
8) If Cowell does it right, this will be massive in America
9) Surprisingly, Leona's vocals are not all 'look at me, i can scale eight octaves in three seconds'. They are fairly restrained and unshowoffy, which is something we can all be thankful for.
10) It is a song which could be a major comeback hit for any 80s/90s artist who is still famous but not for the music. Instead it is going to be a major hit for Leona. Well done her.
