Are there any Leona Lewis fans out here? What a singer....

<p>I’ve been listening and watching her on youtube today. She won the XFactor singing competition (similar to American Idol). I don’t think anybody who has ever been on American Idol comes close to her.</p>

<p>So many great performances. The First Time I Saw Her Face. Over The Rainbow. I Will Always Love You. Summertime.</p>

<p>Great singers have sung these songs and she doesn’t have to take a back seat to any of them. (Well maybe Ella. :))</p>

<p>I’d post the links but there is that CC rule.</p>

<p>If you type in Leona Lewis in youtube, there are plenty of videos.</p>

<p>Just a great talent. I hope she doesn’t end up like Whitney Houston and others.</p>

<p>OK. I found a video on her website. </p>

<p>At least one. I’d never heard of her, but went to youtube just now. She is fantastic!</p>

<p>Cool. I’m a little obsessive-compulsive. :slight_smile: I just watched the Summertime video 5 times. :)</p>

<p>She is VERY popular in R&B, music videos and “pop” hits. Nice to see some crossover to us “parents”.</p>

<p>Here she is on Napster</p>

<p>She has an amazing voice… I’ve been catching her on XM radio for quite some time now.</p>

<p>H and I are watching her YouTube video Run (a Snow Patrol song) on our big screen TV (Wii&Opera are an amazing combo!) She does have a great voice and she is very pretty young lady!</p>

<p>I have wii ( thanks to an amazon contest!); no big screen TV. What’s “opera” ( in this context)?</p>

<p>Opera is an Internet browser that you can download from Nintendo for 500 Wii points (2000 Wii points@Costco was $37 or so). It will let you surf the web on yout TV via Wii (so you can see fuzzy out of focus YouTube cat videos on a 52-inch HD screen :))</p>

<p>YES amazing voice right there.</p>

<p>I like her voice but I wish she could pronounce the word “you” correctly. (vs “chu” as in with you = wi chu). She’s not the only singer out there who does this lately - but it grates on my ears.</p>
