Reports are surfacing across the blogosphere that Leona Lewis was at her book signing for Dreams and an “unprovoked” man came up and punch her in the face. Yes, a full-grown man came a punched one of the nicest people in the music industry. The motivation behind the attack is unclear as of now and the attacker has been arrested. Leona didn’t need hospitalization but was seen leaving the Piccadilly Circus signing crying. Why would anyone want to do that to Leona?
This is the first look into the artwork for the sleeve of the Leona Lewis sophomore album Echo. It’s cute, her pose is suggestive, and the re-toucher knows what he/she is doing. Let me guess, this album will feature a “more mature” Lewis singing about grown up thing. The album is set to be released November 11th. Lewis has worked with Ryan Tedder, Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, Xenomania and James Fauntleroy amongst others to produce this follow-up to her debut album Spirit.
This is the cover for Leona Lewis’s new single “Happy” from the album Echo. Doesn’t the pose look very similar to this?
Incognita fail!
Film star retries rock career:
Does miserably.
If Leona Lewis’s conveniently leaked song with Justin Timberlake isn’t enough to hype you up for her sophomore album, a few more juicy details will do the job. The album will be called Echo and it’s bound to get a release soon. It will come with a coffee table book about her rise from Pizza Hut waitress to international diva. Of course, it will be a more “mature” record and will have all kinds of wonderful ballads rejected by Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
First and foremost, a diva is not “a female version of a hustler,” as Beyonce would like you to believe. It’s actually quite the contrary. It means an woman of outstanding talents and a knack for perseverance. It’s about wisdom, strength, nerve and talent. Sadly to say, Vh1 is about to relaunch Divas Live for 2009 and the line-up has no divas at all. The stars are Jordin Sparks, Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus (a diva? really!?). None of which have the age or wisdom to be divas just yet. They all have the potential, don’t get me wrong. They’re just not what a diva is. Bring me Whitney, Mariah, Janet, Madonna, Diana, Donna, Chaka, Pat or Cher. Hell, even Christina, Beyonce or Britney would do.
This time the hopeful opted for a song from Cats (titled “Memories”) and she did well as everyone anticipated. She walked in looking fierce if not a little angry and for all of those people talking about a make-over, I don’t see that much of a change. And, being a pop fan I don’t know how much I can relate to her broadway-ness. She seems more confident this time and hopefully she will continue her winning streak. She will: this story is rated “volcanic” on google search engines. Everybody is looking for the video to watch what she will do next. It seems like Simon Cowell has found his newest cash cow, now that Leona Lewis is on hiatus.
