Leona Lewis: twice the woman you'll ever be

Leona Lewis is no longer the shy Pizza Hut waitress who won X-Factor. She's only released two singles and one album, but she's now a global mega-star. She's not just the new Mariah Carey, she's surpassed Mariah Carey and become an even more massive superstar. Let's take a look at the video for her latest single, Forgive Me, to prove this. But is it really Leona, or her glossier, more saccharine Hollywood twin?


Following the success of Bleeding Love and debut album Spirit, Leona's fame inspires break-outs of mass, Kids from Fame-style street choreography. In case you're thinking 'but Leona's a singer, not a dancer', don't worry. It's cut very fast so you can fool yourself into believing that she can groove with the rest of the troupe.


But she's not just another cute girl in a pink t-shirt. She's a glamorous cabaret star in a miniature top hat and black sequined dress, caressing a hot pink sofa.


Her powers do not stop at street dancing. Leona's superstardom also intoxicates a small mob of anonymous men in creepy white masks.


Yes, those masked men are good for Hallowe'en. But what Leona really needs are some smart men to help her out in unexpected downpours.


The local cinema has devoted its advertising hoardings to Leona's new single, because it is a very important cultural event.


You'd think the street dancing, sinister cabaret and shiny mackintosh would be enough for one woman. But Leona is no ordinary woman. She's also commands an ethereal Merry-Go-Round for ballerinas.


Finally, Leona gets time to relax and send a text on her really expensive phone. You just know she's texting her hot ticket of a boyfriend.
