Spirit, Leona Lewis

I enjoy watching the X Factor on You Tube, since we do not have that program, in Canada. I saw Leona Lewis, there, when she performed initially and I thoroughly enjoyed her vocals. She reminds me somewhat of Celine Dion, though she is not so commercial (or so sappy). I suspect she might develop into Streisand's league, over time. Her vocal range is excellent and she is mature, beyond her years. She has remained humble throughout her performances and her growing popularity. I understand she wishes to stop performing, which would be a great loss. I particularly enjoy her renditions of popular songs as her vocal acrobatics, compared to many other popular singers, are something to behold. I suspect she might well be good at singing opera, as well. If she sticks to it, we shall witness the development of an extremely well rounded and unusual talent, in this young woman. I have not given an excellent rating, as I found two or three of the songs on this CD fell a bit flat, therefore disappointing and slightly boring, in view of her potential, and left me feeling a bit perplexed about the choices of music made by Jones and Cowell, her mentors and producers.
