Leona Lewis Promotes “Spirit”
With a successful lead single “Bleeding Love,” Leona Lewis’ debut album Spirit (which hit stores today) already has high expectations. And the 23-year-old British songbird dropped by MTV’s Total Request Live yesterday to drum up a little publicity.
Lewis looked every bit the budding pop star as she exited the Midtown Manhattan MTV studios, sporting a big white wool coat overtop an all-black blouse/trousers ensemble, and smiling for the paparazzi.
And for a relative newcomer to the world of American Pop Music, Miss Lewis has already experienced some major landmarks in her career.
When asked how it felt to perform for Oprah Winfrey on her show, she replied, “It’s huge. My aunt nearly combusted when I told her I was going on Oprah. It was an experience I will never forget. And if I never do anything again, I’ve been on Oprah.”
As for her performance at Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy Party (in front of the likes of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, and Janet Jackson) Leona described the experience as intimidating. “It’s one thing to be performing in front of people who know your music and sing along. But it’s another thing going in completely dry—a little girl from London and no one knows you and no one’s heard of me. I was just like, “Uh, hello. Hi there. I’m supposed to sing a couple of songs.”
Enjoy the pictures of Leona outside of MTV’s TRL studios (April 7).
