Leona Lewis's "Moment"

Posted Mon Mar 17, 2008 2:28pm PDT by Lyndsey Parker in Reality Rocks

Leona Lewis, the third-season champ on X Factor (the Simon Cowell-judged British version of American Idol), appears with Simon on Oprah today. Leona's THE great Brit hope right now, widely predicted to be the first winner of any U.K. television talent show to have a real shot at Stateside stardom.

And if there's any surefire way to become an overnight star in America, it's by getting on Oprah. Will Young never got to do that!

So Leona is currently riding high in the U.S. with "Bleeding Love," her catchy ballad co-written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and former child star Jesse McCartney. (It was already the #1 U.K. single of 2007, by the way.)

But did you that when Leona won X Factor, her debut single was "A Moment Like This"--the very same song that introduced Kelly Clarkson to the world? It's true!

Anyway, check out Leona's "Bleeding Love" video below and see if Leona's got the goods to follow in Kelly's Idolized footsteps:

I think I like Kelly's better but Leona's version is also good.

Simon knows how to pick 'em. Leona Lewis & the video are hot!!! Thanks for the update LP. Excited about your "Idol" recap coming up tomorrow. *wink*

14. Yahoo! Music User - Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:23pm PDT

Quite a coup to get on "Oprah". That alone should boost Leona Lewis's sales.

15. Yahoo! Music User - Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:27pm PDT

Thanks 12. I'll check out Leona's "Moment Like This" video on YouTube right away!!!

16. Yahoo! Music User - Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:33pm PDT

Just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3kAsUB6nFA. Thank you, thank you #12. It's a toss up for me between Leona and Kelly - both women rocked it. But it was neat to watch - and compare - the near identical videos. Thanks again. Meanwhile LP, thanks for another FAN-tastic update.

An excellent singer! A beautiful voice! Could be the next great star alongside Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston!
