于小鱼的自言自语

报道说明天的北京奥运会闭幕式上的伦敦8分钟，将有若干艺人登场表演，其中包括贝克汉姆（的确是个艺人）、Led Zeppelin齐柏林飞毯乐队的吉米·佩齐，还有Leona Lewis等。

在说说我印象中的利昂娜·刘易斯之前，先说一个疑问。在我Google闭幕式表演相关信息的时候，看到包括新浪、搜狐、腾讯等媒体均报道伦敦8分钟将有碧昂斯出场？我很怀疑这条消息的真实性，原因很简单：Beyonce可是美国人哎，英国那么多优秀的歌手非要用一个美国人来展示伦敦？？？

是我的判断失误还是中国门户网站编辑们的复制粘贴来源错误，明天揭晓。

很早就听说过被称作英国的“美国偶像”比赛X-Factor冠军Leona Lewis，却直到某天好友andysun强烈推荐下看了主打歌《Bleeding Love》的MV之后才找来这张打破多项销售记录的《Spirit》来听，不过听后却还是只喜欢《Bleeding Love》这首歌。

个人感觉如果喜欢Mariah  Carey或者Kelly Clarkson的话，很可能也会喜欢这个英国年轻女歌手。不过豆瓣给的答案是喜欢《Spirit》专辑的人也喜欢Jordin Sparks的《Jordin Sparks》，Alicia Keys的《As I Am》，Rihanna的《Good Girl Gone Bad》，Natasha Bedingfield的《Pocketful of Sunshine》，Carrie Underwood的《Some Hearts》，Nelly Furtado的《Loose》，Katharine McPhee的《Katharine McPhee》 ，Fergie的《The Dutchess》，Chris Brown的《Exclusive》， 
同样来自Carrie Underwood的《Carnival Ride》，基本都是些年轻流行歌手，其中有好几个都是美国偶像的冠军。

这首歌的MV分为两个版本，英国版本和美国版本，各有特色，我更喜欢美国版本的。后来在《So You Think You Can Dance》节目中某一期中，Chelsie和Mark以一只精彩的Hip Hop舞用别样的方式诠释了这首歌曲，让不喜欢Hip Hop舞的我都很喜欢，绝对是本季《So You Think You Can Dance》节目最出色的舞蹈之一。

 附歌词：

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
