Artist on the Rise^ ^ Leona Lewis tops Billboard's Hot 100 chart with her hit single 'Bleeding Love'. The UK born artist and winner of British version of Idol,
X-Factor (which is produced by American Idol judge, Simon Cowell), just celebrated her 23rd birthday yesterday(april 3, 2008.
The singer has received great reviews in the U.S for her second single 'Bleeding Love', which was the biggest selling single of 2007 in the UK. Leona, who appeared on ABC's 'Good morning America' today was very modest as she thanked her boyfriend for talking her into trying-out for X-Factor. She then went on to perform two of her songs on the show...She sang very passionately, had a wonderful stage presence and sounded really amazing....She also portrayed a "good girl" image like myself :)... She's already been likened to the likes of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
Talkshow Queen Oprah Winfrey deemed Leona as "The real deal" after performing on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Simon Cowell who brought Leona to the U.S to secure a £5,000,000 album contract with music mogul, Clive Davis, was said to be very pleased with the UK sales and her success in the U.S so far .... who wouldn't be Simon? hahaha
