Leona_bleeding

Apparently, The Powers That Be felt that the United States needed a reworked video for Leona Lewis' international hit "Bleeding Love."  Gone are the images of lovelorn desperation and possible suicide, replaced by an angsty Leona, aimlessly wandering through Times Square.  Get it folks?  She's in America now!  No matter, the song is still great.

That sound you just heard?  The simultaneous screams of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach.  The poor dears never did anything to deserve this.  On a positive note, the single is for charity.  [Source]
