Spirited

Advantages: Superb vocals
Disadvantages: Her style may not suit everybody

... Album inlay?s aren?t exactly something that really interest me, although I do prefer ones that contain the lyrics for the album?s song, and because of this I can in no way be seen as an inlay connoisseur. The opinion of Spirit?s inlay that you will therefore receive will probably we a somewhat basic one. For me the Spirit album inlay is a decent one as it contains one of the two things that I look for in these small booklets. That one thing is the lyrics to all of the albums songs. The lyrics in the booklet where also printed in black on white or pale blue backgrounds which made them easy to read ? not always the case. The booklet also contained (next to the lyrics) some tasteful pictures of Leona as well as the usual musical dedications and a thank you message. Unfortunately however the inlay contains no information about the artist herself...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

Spirit

Advantages: Ballads, good tracks
Disadvantages: None

...Life has changed dramatically for Leona Lewis since she won the third X-Factor in 2006. To me, she seemed the favourite pretty much from the start as she can actually sing and has a star quality about her as they like to say on the show. What I do like about her though is that she has stayed very grounded and true to her roots and has not let fame go to her head which is nice. Spirit was her debut album and was released in 2007. According to an article I read Spirit became the fastest-selling debut album and the biggest seller of 2007 in both the UK and Ireland, and made Lewis the first British solo artist to top the Billboard 200 with a debut album. It has now become the United Kingdom's fourth fastest selling album of all time. To date the album has sold over 6.5 million copies worldwide[1] and has a 9× platinum certification in...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

High Spirits

Advantages: Some lovely songs, Leona has a great voice
Disadvantages: Full of ballads, no up-tempo numbers

...Unbelievably, it has been a whole year since the voice that is Leona Lewis came to our attention courtesy of Simon Cowell's reality TV show, The X Factor. For me, Leona didn't really stand out until the Boot-camp stages, where I realised that the girl really could sing. Her first few live shows were amazing, and Leona cruised to the final, trampling all over runner up Ray Quinn. After winning the show, Leona shot to number one with her debut single, and then seemed to disappear into oblivion after that. She resurfaced again around October of 2007, announcing that her debut album was about to make its way onto our shelves, together with a new single. So 10 months later....was Spirit worth the wait? Sadly, the cover didn't stand out as anything amazing, just a facial shot of Leona, which sort of reminds me of the cover of Britney Spears...

Review of Spirit - Leona Lewis

A Spirited Effort

Advantages: Well drawn characters
Disadvantages: Not enough action

...Fantasy writers never seem to write in single volumes, but even by the usual standards of the genre, Kate Elliott's seven volume "Crown of Stars" series was maybe overdoing it a bit. As if that wasn't enough, she apparently plans much the same for her "Crossroads" series, of which "Spirit Gate" is the first part. Years ago, The Hundred was ruled by mysterious Guardians, who supposedly could not be killed. But these Guardians have not been seen for many years and law and order is upheld by Reeves, who patrol the skies with large eagles. But their authority is being undermined and The Hundred is turning into a lawless place where merchants cannot transport goods from one place to another without fear of being attacked and no-one knows when this first started and who is behind it. In another part of the world Mai, a woman from Kartu...

Review of Spirit Gate - Kate Elliott

Spirited Away: Let's be spirited away!

Advantages: Great storyline, voice actors, artwork and soundtrack.
Disadvantages: None. Might be scary for younger viewers.

...Run Time: 120 Minutes. Rating: PG Can be bought new for around £7 and used for £4+ on Amazon.co.uk. Ebay used and new is around £6+. Spirited Away is about a young girl (Chihiro) who follows her parents into this deserted 'theme park' when night falls, strange creatures roam the place and Chihiro tries to leave but discover her parents have been turned into pigs for eating the spirit's food! She is then put to work at the bath house there so then she might be able to find a way to save her parents, with the help of the spirits who work there and Haku, a boy who feels familiar to her, she tries to leave the place she has been spirited away to.

* Spirit Seconds *

Advantages: Good Songs , Voice!
Disadvantages: Money Making Scam!!!!!!

...I''m sure you've heard of the name Leona Lewis (if you havn't , I can only imagine that you have been stranded on a desert island with no access to the music charts , television or the internet). If this is the case then I will tell you exactly who this Leona Lewis is. Leona Louise Lewis was born on April 3rd 1985 in Hackney , London to parents Joe and Maria. She has two brothers , one older and one younger than her. Leona auditioned for the British talent show The X Factor in 2006 , which she went on to win. After The X Factor , she 'vanished' for a about ten months , to record her debut album Spirit. Spirit was released in the United Kingdom in November 2007. The album did really well and reached number one in several countries , including the United Kingdom , America , Australia and Germany. A couple of months later , it is...

Review of Spirit (Deluxe Edition/+DVD) - Leona Lewis

The Flesh is Willing, but The Spirit is Weak

Advantages: It looks great.
Disadvantages: The direction, writing, performances and lack iof suspense.

...because it?s completely devoid of personality ? a shame considering it?s supposed to be a character in its own right. The characterisation is anaemic. The Spirit is a bland superhero type; immortal, devoted to his calling and liable to fall in love with every woman he meets. His abilities are limited to the usual super strength and agility but he has no personality to hang it on, so there?s nothing memorable about him. Even his secret identity Denny Colt is as dull as ditchwater. The Octopus is an unmemorable villain because he spends too much time playing dress-up and not enough plotting world domination or the destruction of his nemesis. His right-hand woman Silken Floss is supposed to be extremely clever, but doesn?t have enough initiative, preferring to be ?great eye candy? instead of a driving force in The Octopus? schemes. All...

Review of The Spirit (DVD)

Sexy Spirit

Advantages: Nice smell, cheap price, Nice packaging.
Disadvantages: Smell might be overpowering for some people.

...with the words SPIRIT BODY SPRAY written on top. The IMPULSE logo is on the top of the can, in black with a silver butterfly. On the back of the can is the directions for use, warnings and ingredients. The impulse body sprays spray differently to other body sprays, as they don't have a lid, you just twist the top when you want to use it and twist it back when you are finished. ~ THE BODY SPRAY ~ On the back of the can, there is a description of the spray: ' Spraying Impulse all over your body gives a cool, fresh feeling on your skin and leaves you feeling revitalised, gently fresh and fragranced.' The body spray itself is obviously clear in colour. It smells very fresh and young, but it doesn't have any particular smell to it. I think it's probably aimed at younger people as it is quite young and some people may find it...

Review of Impulse Spirit

It Spirited ME Away !

Advantages: Fantastic Film
Disadvantages: Nothing what so ever

...SPIRITED AWAY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another magnificent fun film from the incredible Hayao Miyazaki. Chihiro and her parents move to a new town and Chihiros new school. Upon arriving they get a little lost and end up in an old run down theme type park which is very spooky and more than a little bizarre. Chihiro spots little spirit houses in the undergrowth and strange carved stones in the woods. They all decide to explore the park, although Chihiro is a little reluctant, the park is colourfully painted if quite rundown. They come across a deserted yet delicious smelling food stall and decide to tuck in but Chihiro has a bad feeling about the park and holds back. Instead she goes of to explore by herself and this is where the movie really takes off?.. Night falls quickly and the park begins to light up by itself and dark shadowy...

"Spirit" - Leona Lewis

Advantages: Great voice, great songs, fantastic reviews
Disadvantages: A couple of dissappointing tracks

...Being a huge fan of "The X Factor" (A UK Entertainment television show), I was a massive fan of the 2006 winner Leona Lewis, & absolutely loved her first single "A Moment Like This". However, it wasn't until the following November when Leona's album "Spirit" was released, following her hugely successful number one "Bleeding Love", which stayed at the top of the charts for a seven week run. TRACK LISTING Bleeding Love The second single to be released by Leona, this single was the best selling single of 2007, and due to it's international release, was also the best selling single of 2008. It has reached the top spot in an incredible 34 countries - and you can see why. It's a brilliant track, perfectly suited to Leona's voice, but with a tune and a sound that anyone would like. Young and the old alike are bound...
