Leona Praised By Whitney

X-Factor winner Leona Lewis has also won the approval of international diva Whitney Houston. Leona covered several of Whitney’s songs during the X-Factor contest including her worldwide hit “I Will Always Love You”, and Whitney is reportedly interested in mentoring the 21 year-old starlet.

Simon Cowell has also revealed that US music mogul Clive Davis is keen to break Leona in America.

Leona’s debut single “A Moment Like This” went on sale at the beginning of this week, and is being widely tipped for the coveted Christmas Number One slot.
