This is such incredible news – Leona has 2 songs that have already been tipped for Oscar nomination. Her song Happy and new track I See You reportedly have a shot at being included in the ‘Best Original Song’ category at the Oscars next year.

Happy is used in the new Oprah Winfrey-produced movie Precious while she has also recorded the theme song, I See You, for the upcoming James Cameron film Avatar.

Lewis admitted that she felt privileged that ‘Happy’ was chosen to be featured in Precious.

“I’m just so proud of it, ‘cos I wrote it, and to be associated with a film like Precious, which is about trying to overcome troubles and trials in your life. I’m glad that someone got that message,” she told the Daily Star.

Leona went on to describe the theme song for Avatar as “epic” and praised director Cameron.

“I only saw a half-hour clip of the film,” she said. “It’s not finished yet and it’s insane, awesome. I heard the song – great lyrics, very, very epic.”

“So I went in and I did it. And then they played it to James and he phoned me up and said: ‘Oh, my God. I love you!’ He’s so cool.

“I had this perception that he was going to be totally untouchable and unreachable. But he’s just like your nice uncle. He’s lovely.”

   LEONA is a beautiful woman blessed with an incredible voice. I Can’t Breathe really shows off her vocals. Also, Summertime, was fantastic.
   Lets face it, I love everything she sings! I bought her albums. By the way, I am seventy years old! She must appeal to every age.

   To top it all off, she is a very classy lady!
   I am a fan of hers….forever. Love you Leona!
