Leona Lewis song on The X Factor

Does anyone know the name of the track she just sung? She said it was from a Christmas EP, but I can't find anything listed in iTunes.

What's behind the Daily Mail's campaign against gays?

It's all looking a bit suspicious, but for the life of me, I can't work out why the Daily Mail had zeroed in on this story. And by 'outrage' do the mean Christian are annoyed? Why have they gone to...
