Jesse McCartney vs. Leona Lewis in ‘Bleeding Love’ Battle

July 31, 2008

Filed under: Pop, Songs

The summer hit ‘Bleeding Love’ is being made hugely popular by new-comer Leona Lewis, though it was actually penned by fellow pop-stars Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic.

McCartney not only co-wrote the tune, but also recorded his own version, and the audio has recently been circulating around the web. Sans the slick pop production and club-ready beats of Lewis’ take, his original recording has a slow, stripped-down R&B vibe. Would McCartney’s version of ‘Bleeding Love’ be just as much of a smash on the charts as Leona Lewis’ take on it?
