leona lewis

I just found out about leona lewis couple days ago. One of her songs, bleeding love, really caught my attention. Apparently she won the x factor (UK version of american idol). She has great voice, almost a mix of alicia keys and mariah carey. she can hold high notes pretty good but all of her song selections was typical ballad/slow music. here is bleeding love (for some reason they disabled the embedding function): http://youtube.com/watch?v=sF84pIhP5UM&feature=user

here's one of her live performances on x factor :


she can sing live pretty good. we'll see how she's doing couple years from now.

*someone left a comment and gave me this link to her renditions of run by snow patrol:
