It’s funny, but we posted Leona Lewis under our Brit Babe Invasion category when we first noticed her, and today that’s come through — Leona Lewis has, indeed, invaded American soil. And she’s done it through the power of music, which as Celine Dion has told us, can defeat anything. Or was that my grandma? Either/or. Anyhoo. Leona Lewis’ latest attempt to win American hearts and minds is showing up on the cover and in the pages of Blender magazine. Unfortunately it’s not a bikini-licious spread, but eh, you can’t always get what you want, which is what my girlfriend says to me every night. (And of course by “girlfriend” I of course mean the smoking hot girlfriend that doesn’t actually exist. But I digress.)

You could call our Brit Babe Invasion Leona Lewis the British version of Kelly Clarkson, except Kelly Clarkson is world famous thanks to American Idol, and I don’t think anyone in America has actually heard of Leona Lewis. Well for those of you who don’t know, Leona Lewis was the winner of the singing competition The X-Factor, an American Idol-type show produced by Simon Cowell. (Hmm, coincidence? Of course not. Cowell knows a good thing when he sees it.) Leona Lewis was the show’s Season 3 winner, and is just now launching her singing career. Pictures and a performance by Lewis on X-Factor below.
