Leona Lewis: sings with conviction
Alive with drama and conviction, her soul-baring rendition of Bleeding Love reached right to the very back of the cavernous Earls Court. So it's no surprise to find the song at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in America, propelled there by another impassioned delivery of this potent and extreme
ly memorable song on the Oprah Winfrey Show. So how excatly did Lewis become the first British woman since Kim Wilde in the 80s to be No1 in America? There are three reasons. Firstly the US singles chart has long been dominated dominated by urban music - and this is a base that the mixed-race Lew
is covers, hence her appearing on Oprah and being exposed to the key urban music buying audience. Secondly Lewis found fame through winning the X Factor, and is therefore a protegee of the programme's mastermind Simon Cowell, a music mogul of almost unrivalled power and influence. But most of all
Lewis is at the top because the song is rivetting and she pours every ounce of emotion she has into singing it. The lung-busting female ballad is beloved by American audiences - from Celine Dion to Whitney Houston and Bonnie Tyler. Islington's own Leona Lewis now joins those mega-selling ranks by
using the same simple formula: a strong song, sung from the heart.
