The graduations of the attitudes are both up-scaled and down-scaled. In this text, the writer does not too emphasize the strength of the attitude, but
he just uses some attitudes to clarify his notion. Sometimes he uses up-scaled metaphor
―douchebag‖, but he also employs down-scaled attitudinal lexis ―don’t like‖.
There are 1 focus and 18 force graduations process and quality, 9 of them are isolating items and 9 of them are infusion items. The meanings of the
force items contain attitudinal lexis 10 items, intensifier 6 items, and metaphor
2 items.

The voice or prosody of the text is more subjective. As can be seen, there are many attitudes that are put in the text. Besides, the positive attitudes
are more than the negative ones. They are 12 positive attitudes and 7 negative attitudes. However, the content of the text is truly positive because the attitude
in the title, thesis, arguments, and reiteration are positive. Thus, it supports the artist.
Moreover, the writer often puts his own opinion proved by the engagement which is monogloss. He also puts citations from other resources.
However, the attitudes which are from another resource heterogloss are just from Leona Lewis, who is being talked about. This means, the writer only sees
the good side of the artist and explains how suffered the artist is. Because of these reasons, the voice of this text is more subjective.
