American Idol winners can’t hold a candle to December 2006 The X Factor winner Leona Lewis. The UK artist is selling more records than some of her American Idol counterparts combined.

Her debut single was downloaded 50,000 times in just 30 minutes, making her the fastest-selling female artist ever. Her debut album, Spirit, is outselling the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album by four to one, making it a certified 5x platinum in the UK.

I guess MTV didn’t like me directly linking to their video.

I’ve posted another of her performance of Whitney Houston’s I’ll Always Love You on The X Factor.

Amazing voice she has. She’s on caliber with the like of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.

It’s amazing how it took a live reality TV show to discover a talent this great!

I decide to look over the CD, not so bad. She has that Christan Agulara and Satcy Orenco fell. but her Cd is so one dimensional wish all similar themed ballads. If she wants to go for CD number two she really has to step it up a notch, maybe a new producer, just something to give he that extra. She has the tools, no doubt, but what will she make with of it is the real question.
