Leona Lewis: Hennessy Artistry Concert Series

Opting to perform in the States as opposed to collecting her MOBO Awards last night (October 15), Leona Lewis took to the stage for her “first ever live concert” as part of the Third Annual Hennessy Artistry Concert Series.

After the six-song show at New York City’s Gotham Hall, Lewis told press on-hand: “Performing to people is always what this has been about for me. I’ve been waiting quite a while to do this.”

Leona continued, “I’ve performed live at various showcases and TV shows over the last 12 months but this was a completely different experience. I can’t wait to do it again.”

Meanwhile, Miss Lewis reportedly received a negative reaction from the crown at MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards due to her non-appearance.

Nonetheless, the 23-year-old picked up two awards including Best Album for the multi million-selling “Spirit,” as well as Best Video for “Bleeding Love”.
