Spirit - Leona Lewis

Unbelievably, it has been a whole year since the voice that is Leona Lewis came to our attention courtesy of Simon Cowell's reality TV show, The X Factor. For me, Leona didn't really stand out until the Boot-camp stages, where I realised that the girl really could sing. Her first few live shows were amazing, and Leona cruised to the final, trampling all over runner up Ray Quinn. After winning the show, Leona shot to number one with her debut single, and then seemed to disappear into oblivion after that. She resurfaced again around October of 2007, announcing that her debut album was about to make its way onto our shelves, together with a new single. So 10 months ...  Read the complete review

* About Leona Lewis * Leona Lewis is 22 years old and from London. She shot to fame after starring in The X Factor in 2006. Thousands of Contestant's auditioned to get on the show, and in the end, only 12 people made it to the final. Every week, one Contestant was sent home with their hopes and dreams ending. However, Leona Lewis made it to the final and came first place after being mentored by Simon Cowell, securing her a £1 million record deal. Although Leona won her record deal almost a year ago, she didn't actually release her first album, Spirit, until November 2007. This was because she wanted to work and make as good an album as she possibly ...  Read the complete review

The infamous Leona Lewis. ============================================= **********How did she come about?********* For those of you who don't know (and if you don't know, where have you been!) Leona was the winner of the third series of (fi)XFactor (I think it's a fix hence the '(fi)' at the beginning). Her debut single, 'A Moment like This', was to be the XFactor's winner's song to sing to Xmas #1. Funnily enough it was as if Leona was picked out when she had her first audition. 'A Moment Like This' was picked out as the winner's song half way through the series and it was as if the song was picked solely for her ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people have slated this album but I absolutely love it. I got it for Christmas this year knowing only her single 'Bleeding Love' so obviously thats the first song you stick on and sing along with it on full blast!! Love it! But the more I listen to it the more I love it. I would class this as a rather girly CD but would not deter any men away from it as it is just wonderful to listen to. All the songs are about love and being with someone, wanting to be with someone or losing someone for whatever reason. Leona has an amazing voice and has finally had the chance with the album to show you what she is really capable ...  Read the complete review

i think this is amazing and her voice has finaly been heard out loud and she has been recognised. this album should be one of the top hits, but hitting a clasic like this it is going to get a better one nextime, to impress the audience and everything. one of my faviourit songs in this is yesterday, because it brings out alot of feelings and emotions. But i also think take a bow is also a classic and should be a hit. since she has won X-Factor this is her own proper album and right now i wish i was her, being famous and having a beutiful voice like hers, but i think here i am isnt very good as i thought it would be. Here i am, it makes me go to sleep half way through, and ...  Read the complete review
