Leona Lewis

Leona Louise Lewis, an English singer-songwriter and winner of the third series of the popular television talent show The X Factor.

Her debut single, "A Moment like This" (a cover of Kelly Clarkson's version), was released on 20 December 2006. The single was also available as a digital download from midnight on 17 December and broke a world record after it was downloaded fifty thousand times in thirty minutes (info sourced from Wikipedia). Wow! That is really something I must say. Her debut album titled "Spirit" reminds me a lot of Mariah Carey during the late 90's. Her vocals are really good. You know when you watch a good love movie, where there is always a good original soundtrack to go with it?....Think of this album as that...a collection of love songs from various movie soundtracks.


Here are the track listings:
01. Bleeding Love
02. Whatever It Takes
03. Homeless
04. Better In Time
05. Yesterday
06. Take A Bow
07. I Will Be
08. Angel
09. Here I Am
10. I’m You
11. The Best You Never Had
12. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
13. Footprints In The Sand
14. A Moment Like This – UK Bonus Track

My personal favourites? "Yesterday" and "Angel". If you're feeling "emo", this is definately the album you want to be getting.


My rating: 4/5
Sounds similar to: Mariah Carey (during the late 90's), Kelly Clarkson (minus the attitude), Mandy Moore (typical "emo" love song singer)
