Leona Lewis takes stage in New York for her first full gig
LEONA LEWIS finally took to the stage for her first full gig since winning The X Factor almost two years ago – and bleeding nailed it.
The singer chose New York for her first proper set at an exclusive invitation-only show in the brilliantly named Gotham Hall on Wednesday night.
I sent Bizarre man Pete Samson to witness the performance at the Hennessy whisky party – and he was the only British journo there.
It was clear from the moment she walked on stage in New York that the humble home-bird has taken flight and is showing her full plumage as a sexy superstar. The fact that her single Bleeding Love went to No1 in 30 countries would have helped her to spread her wings. After the show she said: “I had a great time. “It’s good to do a proper set. I can’t wait to do it again.”
From opener Better In Time, she gave both barrels in the grand venue fit for a Batman movie.
But it was her worldwide No1 smash, Bleeding Love, that sent them wild. Its throbbing bass and huge vocal sounded more at home in the US than the UK.
Maybe that applies to Leona the superstar too.
