Leona Lewis - A Hit In Germany Too!
Leona Lewis is conquering the world, from the UK, to the US, Australia, and back to Germany! Leona performed on German TV show Schlag den Raab and she did great, I am also happy to see her sing something else than "Bleeding Love". I think we've all heard this song one too many times. Don't get me wrong, I think Leona is a sweatheart and extremely talented.

Announcement As a Single:
In a Kerrang review/interview of the band, and the album, vocalist Chester Bennington had this say about “Leave Out All the Rest”, “We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had great lyrics. I’m singing ‘Pretending someone else can save me from myself’ during it because it’s supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I’m moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. A lot of the song is about humility.” Mike Shinoda has also stated that Rick Rubin (producer for Minutes to Midnight) said “This sounds like a massive single” and according to Shinoda, was the first to realize the song’s potential as a single.
According to an interview with Mike Shinoda by MTV, “Leave Out All the Rest” will be the next single..
About the Music video:
In an interview with MTV, Mike said that the video, directed by bandmate Joe Hahn, will take place in a futuristic, sci-fi influenced setting, and will depict what the daily life of the band’s members would be like if they lived in outer space. The band lives in a rundown, artificial habitat that’s making its way across the galaxy. At first, they are seen passing the time performing mundane tasks, but then gravity is lost onboard the vessel, sending the members floating about. The video features no performance footage. The video has respectively been influenced by the British movie Sunshine, borrowing imgery and a similar concept.
Joe said:
“We’re explorers in space, just like when we go on tour. We’re leaving our home life behind, and I guess it kind of ties into ‘Leave Out All the Rest’, in that we have to leave things behind in order to do something better. ” (source:
