Leona Lewis

I've never really paid attention to Leona Lewis. I mean, like everyone else in the world, I did fall in love with "Bleeding Love." As a matter of fact, I own copies of some of her other singles, too. But, I've never invested much time into her. Namely, her performances or her story because the thought of her being a Simon Cowell protégée always turned me off.

Recently, though, at this year's X-Factor USA finale, she performed a cover of Snow Patrol's "Run" and, while I was ready to mute my television, I certainly didn't expect to actually be moved. Take a look at the clip below. Honestly, she makes singing look so easy. Her performance here is definitely a testament to her being on the right path. She was born to sing. This is obviously what she was put on this great Earth to do. She deserves a lot more recognition than she gets. I, for one, understand that now.

Leona Lewis, I'm sorry. I believed but I never really did care. You are worth more than I thought.

If for any ungodly reason you're not convinced, have a listen at some of these songs here. I shan't let you live your life and die without introducing these if you haven't heard them yet...
