orgin?

where is she from?

She is great!

She is the best thing to happen in R&B and musically her talent is impressive! Mitchellandness1 (talk) 03:50, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Those of you who lack the ear for Good Music need not comment on what a fan of good music should or should not have access to. If you don't like it leave it alone. Have some respect for those that felt the need to give Leela the honors for creating great music in a world full of music with no substance.

Should her greatness really need to be a topic of discussion here? I personally believe she is an overrated singer who will never accomplish anything significant in the music industry but what does that have to do with this entry?--Koolahawk (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PETA Advocate

Can someone add something about her PETA advocacy? I remember reading an interview where she said she no longer eats chicken, even though it was one of her favorite foods when she was growing up.--Koolahawk (talk) 02:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

I notice that the date of birth given in this article (June 2, 1983) does not appear to have a supporting reference. AllMusic states she was born on May 22, 1974 here. Of course that might not be correct, but would editors care to delve further. Nine years difference is some margin. Thanks. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 12:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
