Clive Davis, the chief of J Records (part of Sony BMG) in the US home to Alicia Keys and Whitney Houston among others has told Simon he wants to make Leona Lewis with the amazing voice a huge star in the united states. Simon said, “Leona has a commitment to go and see Clive. It’s an amazing opportunity. I believe she’ll be up there with Mariah and Whitney. It’s a fairytale ending.” Which means we could be seeing lovely Le, like Mariah, linking up with the likes of Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg in future. After scooping 60% of the votes and winning a £1million record deal during Saturday’s final, Leona has since admitted she came close to jacking a singing career in all together. “I was so down at getting nowhere that I was about to give it all up and then I had one more chance - the X Factor audition,” she said. “Now look at what there is for me, it’s almost too much to take in. I wanna do this for the rest of my life.” |
