Leona’s success is reportedly risking her long-term career because it’s stressing her out so much.

Leona recently topped the US charts but a source at her record label Song BMG told the Daily Mail recently that the stress of doing so well is causing her to repeatedly come down with tonsillitis.

The source explained: “The problem is that the whole thing is a vicious circle.”

“Leona gets stressed and nervous and that’s when her voice gives out. The fact that there is so much riding on the next few weeks only adds to her anxiety.”

“She gets very emotional about her throat trouble and has understandably become a bit obsessed about it.”

“To a large extent the issue has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone is hoping she can get through this period without any more crises because it is so vital to everything she has worked for.”

   Aw:( I hope she gets better! It must be horrible coming down with throat illnesses all the time! Maybe it’s not the stress…maybe it’s just the strain on her voice? Like what happened to Mariah Carey? You can develop real problems if you try to reach the high notes all the time. I hope she gets well soon!

   Anxiety absolutely can affect your vocal cords. Muscles become tense and stamina is lost. I have the same issue – where I was once in the limelight performing at the top, I am now almost non-existent. I suspect food allergies and reflux contributed, but anxiety is a cause that is not readily looked at but that is a major problem for singers.

   Leona’s last single caused me concern – her power was gone and her voice airy. Then I heard about her voice problems. Not surprising. I hope she gets it figured out. While I See You was performed beautifully, it was not performed flawlessly – I heard the warbling and lack of power at times.
