The UK’s latest and greatest star, Leona Lewis, was introduced to US on Oprah today and the performance was pop-brilliance. Not since Whitney Houston has an artist had so much range and charisma. Leona is the latest project from Simon Cowell and Clive Davis. Simon has gone out of his way to tell the world about Leona’s ability and humility (even appearing on Oprah to introduce her himself). It’s not often we see this kind of talent and with any luck, Leona Lewis will be around for a long time to come.

Watch Leona’s performance on Oprah.com (as I’m sure Oprah will have this youtube video pulled down soon enough).
