Leona Lewis performs “Bleeding Love” on Ellen [April 11, 2008]
Great news! After monthsyears of speculation, even from Leona herself, who said in this interview that she wasn’t going to be performing on American Idol, E! can now exclusively report that Leona WILL be performing on the show! It’s all happening this month, April 23rd on FOX.
Update: Leona performed on American Idol, and she was amazing! Check out the American Idol Performance here!
Leona appeared on MTV’s TRL again a few days ago. She was interviewed and performed as well, hopefully we will have a video soon, but for now enjoy all the gorgeous pictures in the gallery.
Simon Cowell has slammed organizers of the Brit Awards for snubbing Leona - accusing them of snobbery over her reality TV show background.
Leona was nominated in four categories at the London awards ceremony in February, but sensationally lost out on all gongs including British Female Solo Artist and British Single for her smash hit “Bleeding Love,” despite being the favorite to win.
Initially, Cowell admitted he was secretly pleased the star had missed out on the awards, because the snub would stop his pop protege from developing an ego. But now Cowell has hit out at the Brit Awards, claiming the U.K.’s top music ceremony does nothing to recognize homegrown talent.
Leona has revealed that she was “scared” of Simon Cowell when she first met him on the X-Factor.
However, since working closely with Cowell to launch her recording career, she has become fond of the music mogul, describing him as a “positive” influence on her life.
“I was quite scared of him and what he would say to me when X Factor began, but he’s a really, really nice guy,” Lewis told the New York Post. “He’s helped me tremendously. He’s taught me to be positive and allow my musical instincts to take over. And he’s been very respectful in doing so.”
Leona posted the following message on her official blog. I think it’s so great that she takes the time to write messages to all us fans, thanks Leona - we appreciate it! Read the message below:
Apr 08 2008 - Greetings from NYC
Hey All,
So yet another crazily busy week for me here in NYC.
I’ve been meeting tons of press and radio people and having so much fun getting to know everyone that has taken an interest in my music.
I’ve also been spending a lot of time shopping (!!!!) well it would be rude to come to NYC and not !!! I’ve brought lots of pressies for friends back home which I can’t wait to give out.
Performing on Good Morning America was incredible and I enjoyed every second on it - everyone there was so friendly. I got to perform with my band again which is always amazing for me - they are super talented! The show got me a birthday cake and pink flowers (my favourite colour!) was so sweet.
