Leona Lewis Shows Beyonce How To Look Like No.1
LEONA Lewis is the first females signer to top the US charts since Jimmy Young.
The Mail says American music fans have Lewis “to their hearts”.
Her hits single Bleeding Love, a tribute to Arthur Mullard, sees her tread in the steps of Petula Clark, Sheena Easton and Kim Wilde, all British female singers who’ve topped the US charts..
Lewis has the sound and the look. Are America’s singing stalwarts nervous?
Anorak happens upon this image of Beyonce Knowles on the cover of Dereon magazine – “where the sidewalk and catwalk meet”, cruel comment on a Knowles look not enough unlike the No.1 player in Old Mr Anorak’s Lady Boy ping-pong team.
She also looks like Ms Lewis.
The British are coming. And they look just like you…

Leona Lewis has had 3 #1s in the UK, #1Album + Deluxe Album went in at #1 also! Beyonce and Leona are completely different singers.. Leona does not have the vocal ability that Mariah Carey has .. everyone knows that! but her style is the same as Mariah.. and she is learning and getting better as the days go on.. Aint no stopping her now!! and if you want to compare Beyonce to A “reality tv star” then compare her to Alexandra Burke.. who is more like her! (Alexandra Burke won the same show that Leona did last year!)
LoveBeyonce - LOVEEEEEEELeonaLewis!
Leona Lewis - Watch Her Space!!

Love your comment AtlantaBro! I too don’t understand how Leona can be compared to mariah? and yes she will need to kick her skirt up! these days you have to be an all round performer to make it, especially in the US, the brits seem to be happy with just vocals, ala winehouse, joss stone, duffy etc, (all of whom are fine vocalists with different styles) I think Beyonce hasn’t done herself any good to take Leona’s song “Halo” and then try to sing it just like leona, she also took Victoria Beckhams song: “don’t know why you love me”- which of course she smashed (in a good way) but I just don’t think it looks good taking other peoples songs, why not write your own? we all know she can) AS for comparing Leona to Beyonce, it’s going to be done, especially when Beyonce is taking her songs! (and trying to sing it like her!) but what Beyonce has accomplished can not be taken away by ONE NUMBER ONE HIT from another female singer! but them again some people are major sell-outs always sucking up to what’s new! I like both of them, but I have to say I have all Beyonce’s albums and their all good, hit after hit, I like Leona but didn’t buy her album because I found it quite boring besides a few of the songs, mainly the ones written by the guy who wrote bleeding love and halo and the current song Leona has in the charts? Everytime I hear Halo I think it’s Leona at times then realize it’s not, I don’t think Beyonce should have taken the song, it makes her look stupid, she’s such a big star already, why take some Brit girl who made it on a TV show’s song? (and for the record I don’t have anything against the fact leona made it on a TV show because she is very talented and the TV show has nothing to do with her natural singing ability) I’m just saying why would Beyonce feel the need to take her song? it doesn’t make sense to me? oh and with regard to looks, body, sex appeal of course Beyonce wins hands down! even if she is an alter ego conforming to the wants of society and the media! Leona is herself, (british singers tend to stick to just being themselves and vocalists, whereas American singers are dancers, actors, have clothes lines and perfumes etc etc, they are a PRODUCT!) anyway each to their own I like them both but Leona has a long way to go to be compared to Beyonce, let’s hope she doesn’t lose sight of who she is and become a household product, but it wouldn’t do her no harm to sex herself up a bit!

I love both of them,they are beautiful and they have a beautiful voice!!!
November 28th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
There is no comparison…Beyonce is the tripple threat..beauty..dance..and vocal chops..Im a full blooded American and I love music from across the world..I don’t think that Beyonce is to worried about Leona..crazy they tried to compare Leona vocals to Mariah..Mariah smased her down…the girl is attractive..but she got to kick her skirt up for Americans to loose it..LOL
April 18th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
bye bye beyonce.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
y’ll are tripping beyonce’s the BESTEST EVER! SHE IS HOT and she has got one powerhouse VOICE! no one can sing lyk her…………leona is good but she’s kinda CLICHE IF U THINK ABOUT IT…. she sings lyk mariah and her MALISMA’S ARENT IMPRESSIVE. she can’t do runs as good as b. but i like her. don’t get me wrong. beyonce has 7 number 1 hits as a solo artist, and leona jst 1………… so please! these 2 arent on the same plate.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:12 am

Hey dangelo mcqueen:
I think the only stupid DUMB here is you my friend. Number one, as far as i know FOOTPRINTS hasnt reached number one yet (hopefully it will). Thats you first wrong fact. Number two, Leona Lewis has been number one in the European chart and number one in many countries in Europe such as Italy, France, Germany. She as well has been N1 in US, Canada, Australia and New Zeland and i think she might be in Asia soon. But I dont have anything agaisnt Beyonce and you have the right to “defend” her but please PLEASE get your fatcs right next time and dont call the rest DUMBs as easy as you did…because my friend after reading your comment i felt sorry for you and thought you were the only DUMB here. Cheers
March 30th, 2008 at 7:55 am
you all are dumb u cnt compare beyonce who has been working in this industry for 13 years your acting as if beyonce hasnt hit no.1 before leona lewis is a talented artist and lucky enough to get to number one because of her charity video footprints but that still dosent mean she can top the charts in europe beyonce ma be an alter ego beyonce knows how to entertain on the other hand leona cant beyonce sings dances and she an oscar nominated actress !!! my gosh she is just unstoppable and impecable y,all need to make the ladies be leona will do just fine i gues im happy she is from the uk as it puts us brits back on the map … y,all dnt forget to look out for beyonce starring role in the sensational movie (caddilac records) and her new album callled (dick and balls) and her new single beutifull nightmare ! xxx d,angelo mcqueen (uk)

Leona just came straight and Bang to Number 1 like fire man. To me All her songs are better than Beyonce’s on B’Day but I dont know if America will open up to her like they did to Beyonce. Apparently she’s Ordinary, but not for long eh?
So long as Beyonce can dance and shake her ass, she’ll be fine in the music industry and what not.
Leona doesn’t even need to do that yet. I dont think that she wil ever need to but you never know. she’s the best pop singer today
March 29th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Show em how its done Leona!
Leona is a beautiful girl and she has the voice to mathch.
Beyonce is gorgeous too, but not as gifted as Leona vocally.
Whooooooo-Hoooooooooo!
the pictures of them here are not really their best but who cares eh?
March 29th, 2008 at 2:37 am
jose you have got to be kidding. leona wishes she could sing as good as beyonce or look as good as her. sorry but a lot of americans arent feeling leona. she is ordinary to me the british just give her too much credit sorry.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Leona’s very talented and I love the song, but she still has quite a long way to go to be compare to Beyonce
March 28th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Leona is a legend like Miss Bey. Leona have better voice and look. Sh´s perfect.
March 28th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
..I think the industry is big enough for both of these talented ladies, but just because Leona was discovered on a TV talent show doesn’t make her any less remarkable a singer. She can hold her own with the best of them (the album confirms this, not just the single) and the comparisons with Whitney are valid. Beyonce has already made her own very considerable mark on the music industry with a different style.
March 28th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
So Omar, you’re keen on Beyonce then?
March 28th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Beyonce didn’t need to win some damn singing competition to get to where she is…. BEYONCE IS A LEGEND ALREADY… Sorry folks… you can’t take ONE single from some amateur British Reality Pop Star against a plethora of music from Ms. Knowles… Beyonce is that good that she is the STANDARD for what females in the music industry should be like… that’s why they are always trying to compare everyone to her… if it came down to it - LEONA WONT BE A LEGEND LIKE MISS BEE.
March 28th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
At least this X Factor winner had some talent. Not really to my taste, though, as from the ‘too many notes’ school of singing like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston. Every song sounds like a singing lesson where the aim is to hit as many different notes as possible. I am exhausted just listening.
March 28th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
No need to worry about the charts, take a look what a real angel looks like, and listen to what a real class act sounds like. No bull, no pretencious diva, just a nice kid from the UK who can actuallly sing ……..live. If music be the food of love then have your fill of the best meal this year.
PJ -UK- OK
March 28th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Leona is top of the US charts eh?
I didn’t know that until I read it online this morning. That’s one of the great things about living out here in the ‘Heartland’, as our polititians love to call it. We get to ignore the pop chart completely! Woohoo!
I listen to several very good radio stations but not one of them gives a hoot about the ‘chart’. Check out http://www.radiomilwaukee.org, they stream live on the internet.
Well good luck to her, I hope she makes enough money to buy a house in London as I read she is trying to do.
Whatever happens I’m sure Simon Cowell will do alright out of it
