Posted January 3, 200817 yr Leona to use 'Idol' to crack America Thursday, January 3 2008, 10:28 GMT By Alex Fletcher, Entertainment Reporter Digital Spy Leona Lewis has agreed to perform on this year's American Idol in an attempt to become a chart success in the US. Simon Cowell wants Lewis to sing during the final rounds of the series to help promote her to a large TV audience, according to the Daily Star. A programme source said: "We always like to invite established guests onto the show to give the contestants an idea of the level they need to reach. "Leona, with her incredible voice, fits the bill perfectly." Lewis is reportedly keen to crack America in 2008 and has claimed that she is willing to put in the necessary hard work to achieve success over there. She said: "It’s really exciting but I’m just taking one step at a time. It’s a fresh start for me over there because they won’t know me from X Factor. "It’s a new challenge but one that I’m excited about. I think you have to be totally dedicated and hard-working. "Things don’t just fall on your lap, you must always remember that. You have to keep at it for success."

January 7, 200817 yr Shame it won't be until the "final rounds" which will be May. I was hoping they would integrate her into some of the first few episodes to boost her debut. Unless maybe they aren't planning on releasing/promoting her until the spring...
January 10, 200817 yr She'll be huge on Idol, however I think I must be the only person that's getting a little tired of seeing her perform Bleeding Love. I would love her to perform something else! What have we seen her perform from the album? I know Bleeding Love, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and A Moment Like This but what else? :unsure:
January 10, 200817 yr Well we know it's strong and performing Bleeding Love is what's best for her career but on a personal level I would rather she sang something different. :P
January 10, 200817 yr Oh I agree Kelly, I really am beginning to get bored with ''Bleeding Love''. :( I love the song at all but I'd love to see her perform something else too, especially ''Take A Bow'' or ''Whatever It Takes'' ^_^
