Taking a break from retooling her ‘Glassheart’ LP, Leona Lewis graced the stage of Germany’s X Factor, treating the Deutsche audience to a hair-raising showing of 2008 smash ‘Run’.
Watch Ms. Lewis soar and then some after the jump…
While the song choice was somewhat random, it was definitely welcome. For, it served as a potent reminder of the music Lewis should be making – instead of the dollar-store Euro-beats she’s all-too-good for.
With the direction of her album now up in the air, she’d be well-advised to follow the Adele model. An artist whose undeniable talent allowed her make a record which, in staying true to her own sound and creative gut, has managed to stand out among charts full of generic.
On the basis of her voice alone, Leona really could and should follow suit.
