Bleeding Love singer Leona Lewis says she recorded Rihanna's hit song 'We Found Love' first and that hers was a better version.
Leona Lewis has revealed she recorded a version of Rihanna's 'We Found Love' with Calvin Harris before Rihanna - and that she believes her version of the track is better.
Leona returns this week with new album Glassheart, after scoring another Top Ten single with her Emeli Sande-penned track 'Trouble' in this week's chart. However, the album could have sounded very different if things had gone to the original plan.
Leona tells The Daily Star: "I worked with Calvin and we recorded We Found Love. But he went touring with Rihanna and she ended up releasing it.
"I didn’t commit to it because I wanted 'Trouble' to be my first single so I think that was another reason they went with Rihanna. It was the same version and production but mine’s better."
She went on to add: "I still have the recording but I’d never leak it. That’s so unprofessional.
"There are so many songs I’ve recorded, only to hear other people singing them. It happens all the time.Jacked from Gigwise

So Rihanna did not steal it. It wasn't Leona's in the first place. She didn't commit to it. Her loss.
She slept on a hit. The story of her life.
Girlfriend can actually blow unlike Rihanna. I bet her version does sound better.
Soooooooooo its unprofessional to leak the song, but its ok for you to bitch about it in an interview? Horses shouldn't come after rabid curry goats, it doesn't end well.
You snooze, you lose. *shrugs* Besides, Leona's version wouldn't have been even 1/10th of the monster hit that Rih's version was. Leona might be a better singer, but to me she's boring and has no personality, and ironically, lacks the "X-factor", even though she won the UK version of that show, I believe?
how is it your songs if you A. didn't write it, B. didn't pay for it ? sit the fuck down Leona you only on because of a shitty tv show
you didn't write it or pay for it but its your song?? i bet if Leona sang it it would of flopped
^^^ just like her other flops
Oh, Leona. The story of her life. I'd like to hear it though.
Rihanna is laughing smoking a joint somewhere
co-sign@3:20 & 3:29! Even her stills scream boring and no personality, now thats bad...
