I have always loved Leona and still do. And I loved My Hands before it was selected as the FFXIII theme song. Still listen to it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Leona Lewis was a famous and incredibly talented singer. Her bangers are "Bleeding of Love" and "Better in Time". Her song "My Hands" was picked as the theme song for FF13 and the fans outraged fucking hard about it. I'm talking Twilight Princess 8.8 hard.

It was a stupid song to choose for the game. That doesn't justify any abuse that anyone might direct at Leona Lewis for it however.

Oh yeah, Sazh was also pandering and used to capitalized on Obama's success. LMAO yeah I've seen someone said that. FF13 was a bad game but god damn some of yall really reached to find reasons to hate it.

Even though Im very fond of the song, I can agree that it was weird to pick a song not written for the game and on top of that a song already released.

She sang a song specifically written for Avatar (so they could have written a song for her for FFXIII).

I agree "My Hands" was an odd song choice for the theme, but the trailer it was used in was awesome.

The outrage was because in the Japanese version the theme song was created specifically for the game while the English version picked "My Hands" which was a weird choice. Why they couldn't have her sing an original song or just sing a translated version of the Japanese song is beyond me. It's still a stupid thing to complain about, but I somewhat can at least understand. With that said, Leona Lewis is a goddamn great singer and did not deserve any hate for what the western branch did.

They didn't need to do anything. No one would have given a fuck if they just left in the original Japanese song.

That's true as well, the localization team screwed up.

Yeah, I don't remember people disliking the song. The comments on YouTube were fairly positive.

It's one of my top gaming trailers tbh. I didn't care for the game but I still watch the trailer from time to time. I've watched it so many times I can recite all the character's lines, lol.
