Posted March 30, 200817 yr Music industry experts are reporting that a recording, concert and merchandising package could put the young former waitress from Hackney on par with music legend Madonna. The estimated deal is said to be worth £50 million over a five-year period. Leona's US record boss, Clive Davis, famous for making stars of Whitney Houston and Kelly Clarkson, is believed to be "thrilled" to be able to tear up the £4.5 million, five-album deal Leona signed last year. An invitation to appear on American Idol, watched by around 25 million people each week, signals the extent that the pretty 22-year-old has taken the States by storm. Currently in New York, Leona is eagerly waiting for boyfriend Lou Al-Chama and her family to jet across the pond and join her for a champagne bash this week. Her mentor Simon Cowell is also expected to take part in the celebrations, says the Sunday Express. "Everything's happening so fast, Leona's in a whirl right now. What she's really, really looking forward to, more than anything else, is her big reunion with Lou," a friend of the X-Factor star told the newspaper. Source: www.yahoo.co.uk, hellomagazine.com
March 30, 200817 yr Surely this is more suited to the Leona forum, or even the Pop forum? I shall move it. Anyway, on relation to the topic I can't say i'm suprised one bit! Only worry i'd have is that it'll be ages & ages until the 2nd album comes along i'd have thought and she'll put a lot more emphasis into the US than the UK imo.
