Check out this singer- Leona Lewis
Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:44 am
I don't know if many people on this board listen to "pop" music much, but I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy and appreciate this stuff, when it's good. I recently stumbled upon some videos of this singer on YouTube that has completely blown me away.
Her name is Leona Lewis. She just won the British version of American Idol (called X-Factor) in December, and she is already huge in Britain. Usually the contestants on these shows are just OK, but damn, this girl is something special. She has an incredible vocal range, very musical, huge dynamic range, and a really pure, clean sound that I love.
Her single from the show was the Christmas number one single in the UK, and was the fastest-selling single by a female artist in UK history. Earlier this month Leona signed a $10 million five-album record deal with American producer Clive Davis. She is not known much over here yet, but she will be huge very soon.
Check out some of these videos and let me know what you think:
