Leona Lewis ~A New Diva~

It's been a long time since my last post..
Well.. It's not like I'm so busy but I'm not feeling I have something to share with..
^^

Do you know Leona Lewis?
If don't, check!!

Well, I will give you some clues..
Leona is the winner of X-Factor (a British singing competition) season 3 and she becomes the first British who can reach Billboard Hot 200 at number one!!
Her "Bleeding Love" reached the peak of Billboard Hot 100 for weeks and she is often compared to divas such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.
I must admit, she really is a diva ^^

In my opinion, her voice is coloratura soprano (a little spinto though). And many divas in music industry born from this type of voice (Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion). Actually, she has a very unique vibrato style when she sings in a very low note. Her vibrato is kind of out-of-date cuz the frequency of the vibration is rather weak, very unique right ^^ This what makes her very special in my eyes ^^ In high note.. She is..a real DIVA.

Actually, about 2 days ago, I downloaded her album, titled Spirit (Deluxe Version for Asian Market) and she has drived me really crazy with her incredible songs and talent in singing..




Bleeding Love, her smash hit, is my favourite song. It's a R&B Ballad with so many percussion (drum) influences. The melody is sweet and unforgetable. I also watch the video clips (US and Int. version) and I love them, esp the International version ^^
The Int. video really can describe how deep the meaning of the song is..
So...deep... (it happened in my real life ^^)

Other songs like "Yesterday" and "A Moment Like This" (a cover of Kelly Clarkson's) are sweet too.. Esp for Yesterday, Leona sings in a very high falsetto notes and makes me have a feeling of goosebumps everytime I hear the song ^^
Superb... (actually, I note her ability to sing in whistle note in her unreleased demo song, Lovin' You, a cover of Minnie Ripperton's old song ^^)

So..my friends...
Don't wait..
Download the songs..or buy her album, now!!!!!
