Being from London myself, Leona won our version of American Idol called the X-Factor, which is also judged by Simon Cowell. Her vocal ability has been likened to an early Mariah Carey. This past month she signed a contract with Clive Davis’s J Records in America worth a reported $5 Million. With a voice like hers she is destined to do BIG things.
Check out two new songs of hers:
D/L: Loving You (Minnie Ripperton cover)
D/L: Breathe

Nice tunes from Leona! (pre-xfactor though)
I’ve just started my own blog so any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
