I just never understand the hype that surrounded her when she first started out (other than her voice).

Well I think she WAS an amazing artist (as in from her first album until maybe Rainbow), but now her music is just very mediocre. I mean, I do own EoM and E=MC2, but neither is a great album. They're both good, but not much more :\
But back to Leona, Spirit apparently sold 81k this week, which was only a couple thousand behind Mariah, and of course behind Madonna since it was Hard Candy's debut week. Still, I'm really impressed with the sales and the fact that she is beginning to get widely recognized here. Pretty much everyone seems to know who she is now and that's fantastic.
