There are many reasons to like Leona Lewis. I really did enjoy this I cannot get tired of listening to it. What Talent. She really appeals to all ages. She escaped London’s most notorious borough, Hackney, and became the nation’s darling last year as she struggled with nerves on The X Factor. The track which I do enjoy is Bleeding Love this I feel is sung with great emotion and feeling and when I listen to it, just brings a great lump in my throat. “Bleeding Love”, the No 1 single, has its charms. It is far and away the most sophisticated and catchy song here, with the slickly clicking “Whatever It Takes” and “Take A Bow” the only others offering anything close to edginess.
Auditioned for The X Factor in London where she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. Leona Lewis won the third series of the British reality talent show The X Factor in a landslide. Born and raised in the Islington section of north London, Lewis won a talent show at the age of 13 and devoted herself to music thereafter, eventually graduating from the prestigious BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology. All the judges were impressed and put her through. Made music history when her debut single was downloaded 50,000 times in just 30 minutes. Released her single “A Moment Like This” in December 2006 after winning The X Factor. She is the first female winner of The X Factor, and the first mixed-race person to win. Won The X Factor in 2006. Lewis now lives in Hackney and has been with her boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, an electrician, since she was seventeen. Lewis and Al-Chamaa have known each other since Lewis was nine years old and they grew up on the same street.
