Singer Leona Lewis has become the first British woman to top the US pop chart for more than 20 years with her single Bleeding Love. The track, which was last year’s best-selling single in the UK, was released in the US six weeks ago.
Lewis wrote on her website that it was her “dream” to break America.
“I’m so excited to be able to spend some time in the US and showcase my music to everyone here,” the former receptionist from east London said. “Its been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and I can’t wait.”
In related news, various media sources say that Simon Cowell (Leona’s manager) recently bought her a 5 million dollar home in California…
MICHELLE WILLIAMS SAYS THANX
Michelle Williams just started a video blog on youtube and in her first video she wanted to shout out everyone who showed love on her new record and new look. Peep the video, it’s really cute.

Michelle ur new song is fiya! U really brought it gurl!!!
Congrats to Leona!
Michelle looking like her old self.
Wow Leona is doing big things in the US. I always knew she will make it. Simon Cowell hmmm you trying to bed her eh? Dont lie. Tell me there is no strings attached to that £5million house?
I am happy for Michelle they treated he so wrong in DC I hope she gets her shine.
Love Mariah though she can be annoying sometimes.
LOVE YA MICHELLE!

I agree with you Michelle is looking great. Its like they tried the best to make her ugly in DC. I wonder why she didnt stick with the long black hair because it realy suited her.
Wow congratulations to Leona Lewis!! She seems like she has some potential to be a big star. Michelle good luck to you. I am not crazy about your new song but the pics are definitely a BIG improvement. Mariah bores me with all the hand wave and pointing singing and plus it is a wrap for that voice.

#12 aka PEREZ

@nothing but love, you know that’s what your race does for a living don’t get me confused with your own kind.
That’s the attitude Michelle, just keep focused and don’t take anything negative people say about you too seriously. I see Michelle smashing ’08, hands down. (I smell grammys, billboard awards, bet awards, platinum status)!!!
Ya’ll realize Michelle has always been considered the “underdog”….you got to watch out for them…they’ll surprise the hell out of you!
Leona is just beautiful! Geeeeze! Is she black? I see black features. does anyone know her ethnicity? I know she’s mixed with something.
@ 20
Her dad is black and her mom is white. She is really beautiful. When she auditioned for x-factor (Uk’s version of American Idol) Simon had the “I wanna f*** your brains out” look lol. She is stunning and an amazing singer.
I’ve always loved how personal and real Michelle is! She is not afraid to be herself (HER REAL SELF) at all times. You can truly tell how humble and passionate she is.
I luv an artist that isn’t “imaged” based.
Go leona…Perez??? What the hell are you talking about? Thats so low
I love Leona…at least she CAN SING
she has so beautiful ass SONG.. She writes and can sing THAT’S AN ARTIST
MICHELLE I LOOOOVE U GIRL…
mark my words…michelle is about to embarrass kelly…i feel bad but oh well…the underdog is bout to get her shine on and i love it…i remember how akward michelle used to be when she first joined destinys child..she has really come into her own…
Leona.i love dat song bleedin love that bitch can sing..she looklike a man sometimes tho..lol
Simon’s banging that…She didn’t even sell that much… and only reason why he’s buying it for her is b/c the jerk that was selling the house thought she was more than what she’s worth and tried to hike up the price…I guess Simon doesn’t want his only artist on the streets…
@ PEREZ
umm how about no i think you’ll find thats what you do thats why you all up in here hating on leona getting paid and your ass is probably getting paid below the minimum wage.
@nothing but love, I gave props to Michelle. Leona is a fake and she is only up here because they want you to believe she’s a super star. She is a phony as singer, yah can prop her up all you want the bitch is still ugly, phony and she fucks for tracks.
Ok, it’s over. I’m a Michelle fan now.
Good look for the ladies! Leona’s song is so nice. Michelle’s new joint is a very nice track for her. Me likes both!
Love you Michelle! i was on cloud 9 about all your success until you stated Solange was a writer! why do they keep incorporated her into their success! first a dancer now a writer! DAMN you Matthew! CONGRATS Michelle, cant wait for the album!
I’ve always thought Michelle was the prettiest ( especially when she had the all black hair) . In my opinion, she’s the most organic out the group and clearly the most down to earth. GOOD LUCK!
Simon want to hit Leona…that’s why he bought her that house. Guys do stuff like that and not just because they have “good intentions” in their heart! She kind of look like Simon’s girlfriend or wife…she’s young and mixed too…very beautiful…Simon’s type!
Wow. Alot of comments that someone mixed is “beautiful”. That girl is nice looking but I will save “beautiful” for Holly Robinson Peete, Phylicia Rashad, Kenya Moore and Eva Pigford, etc.
I like Bleeding Love.. Congrats on the house and I do not think she F-for tracks. If Simon wants to buy her a house he can do it its his money…
Michelle way to show love to your fans..
@ perex and sweetthang729
you guys are HATERZ…FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO!
Michelle, stop lying, you keep saying you can’t stop smiling, well we know why, it’s cause your ass just rolled out of bed with Henry Simmons…hell i’d be smiling too if that were the case.
But sorry, i didn’t really like the single; i don’t think it’s strong enough for the first single to be released, but i love love love your voice. I think it’s magical. And i love your new look. It’s classy and funky at the same time. Can’t wait to hear more material from the album.
Oh wait, and i wanted to be sure to tell you this….I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONFIDENCE! You just radiate i can do anything. You have a good spirit and you are not a follower; you’re definitely a leader. I think this comes from your strong family support and relationship with God. Don’t ever change. You were always the most original member of DC in my book, so it wasn’t far fetched to hear you were doing a solo project. I think as long as you stay true to yourself, you’ll be successful. Please, i hope your natural confidence will rub off on Kelly, though i think she’s just not a frontrunner naturally; a group is her best setting and when you give her directions, i think she can follow it to a tee, but as a solo artist, she just don’t have the backbone as of yet. Keep doing you ma! I love it….much success.
Congrats to Leona…i wish you much success in the U.S.
leona lewis is half guyanese half anglo-welsh ( with an italian/irish touch) i read that somewhere….
She looks like half a male/beast. Nothing pretty.
Michelle I love youuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!
And that video was so cute, you are such a nice and warm person. You better work for what is rightfully yours.
You new song is fiiiire!!!!!!!!!!!
My only slight issue is this 10 track album thing, you know that is not enough, at least 13 tracks please if not more.
And I hope there are some ballads on your album to show of that amazing voice.
Bye and God bless.
Will be very interested to see what kind of direction this album takes Michelle.
If its hot, I guess it’s gonna be a real wake-up call for Kelly to stop living in the shadows of Beyoncwe and do her own thang.
She looks great! Best wishes Michelle!
Hey Michelle,
I have always loved Michelle. I love how you took the initiative on your own project. It sheds a new light and u can call it ur own… The new look is hott…. CONGRATS!!! Im sure the album will be FIYYA BABY…..
i love your humble spirit michelle.you are the bomb
This was a wonderful thing for Michelle to do. I love her new single. This is a good luck for her. I am so happy for her. Yall should interview her when yall can.
Although I’m not crazy about “Bleeding Love”, I will go ahead and give Leona’s album a chance.
I’m happy for Michelle. The new track is kinda cool. I like it a lil bit. I check out the rest of her stuff when it releases.
Oh yeah, I still don’t see the hype in Leona in being the next Whitney or Mariah. I hate it when people put those labels on new artists. Until I see her have a couple (not just one) diamond albums like Whitney and Mariah, I won’t fall for this media blitz posted about her. The proof is in the pudding, or numbers I should say.
Michelle…Michelle…Michelle. Not only are you a real true artist, You are definitely someone to highly admire. You not only survived the DC camp, but you also survived the Music World and through these things you remained humble. You are the same Michelle we met years ago. Just more confident and not cocky and their is a difference. So I want to say Thank You for showing a side that we as fans don’t see too often in many of the people we admire. Peace, my sister.
@ Perez shut up!!!!!….. Go Leona I knew you and Estelle were gona make fire in da States!!!!!!… She should do her n neva mind haterz, *cough* PREZ *cough*…. Very beautiful girl and soo talented and she’s gona b here 4 a long time so u betta hold on tite haterz!!!!!….. BIG UPS 4rm THE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why perez keep talking shit
Leona is just like Fantasia!! she won the american idol in England and now she has her album out! So i guess Fantasia fuck or tracks too??
Michelle the song is nice, but you got a monkey mouf (not a mouth, a mouf) I am glad you are doing something different, because Beyonce got the R&B on lock. Please let Kelly sing back up in the video….
thanks
Come to the UK too michelle, I’d very much like to here this song on in the clubs.
ur good welcome Michelle babes! hope u succeed!
MICHELLE, I AM SO SO HAPPY U ARE U!!! THIS GIRL TIME IS NOW….THE QUOTE “THE FIRST WILL BE LAST, AND THE LAST WILL BE FIRST” (THE BIBLE)…WELL IT’S UR TIME TO BE FIRST CHELLE! KILL ‘EM!!!
You go Michelle! Loved the shout out to the fans! Wish you all the best!
yay Michelle! Congrats on the positive feedback from the song! And Congrats to Solange for penning another hot track
Now, for all those who say they loved the song and love Michelle, make sure you continue to support her and buy the album!
PEREZ keeps talkin shit cus Perez is the exact definition of a HATER…
I for one dont think i have ever even took the time to listen to Leona’s music, and if i have i dont remember, but the girl is getting her money regardless, and if shes “fucking for tracks” well then guess what PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING THAT SHIT AND SHES GETTIN CAKED UP REGARDLESS of what a hater like u is sayin…
AND getting a little off topic PEREZ the fact that u brought up someones race just because they made a comment is just PATHETIC… Hoes come in all colors, shapes, sizes and styles… And how do u even know what race the person that left the comment was they dont even have a pic up…
you are a LAME!!!!!
not trying to be mean, but that leona chick bores me, and she looks…well, mannish in the face. i don’t believe the hype. anyone chould have sang her first single. for the longest i thought it was jordin sparks.
michelle is so sweet this video made me like her even more
Trust me TK believe the hype. Leona came from a prog over in th UK (Where i am) called XFACTOR (Like American Idol!) and she sang live week after week and im talking songs like Whitney’s I will always love you, Mariah you name it and she sang it as good as them if not better. I must say Bleeding Love yeah, it dosent do her voice justice… but here her sing it live! She has an amazing voice
