Leona Lewis signs US record deal
X- Factor Winner and number 1 hit Leona Lewis has signed a deal in the US for £5 million ($9.7m) with Clive Davis who is also mentoring Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake. Mr Davis, 74, also discovered Whitney Houston.
Leona said; "I am just overwhelmed. I can't believe everything has happened so fast, from winning the X Factor to coming to LA."
Ms Lewis' manager who is Simon Cowell said; "We'll do everything in our power to make her an international star."

Typically negative and fully expected reply from Mr Knowitall folks.
5 mill isn't to be sneezed at, even at todays rates?

Re: Leona Lewis signs US record deal
I will be proved right, rest assured.
Clive Davis is obviously slipping into senility, more money than sense.

Re: Leona Lewis signs US record deal
How long before you have earned that amount M?
She's already up to 6 mill with the XFactor prize!
You're too late to prove anything, the deal is done, the die is cast. If she never makes another penny she's done well and better than most already.
Why are you always so negative?

Re: Leona Lewis signs US record deal
And we're back to money being the be all and end all of popular music.
Her career is a non-starter, and she will only ever produce dross.

Re: Leona Lewis signs US record deal
There you go again, money will always be the goal, what else is there?
Not everyone can leave a legacy of good music!
I suppose you think Barbra Streisand is useless too?
How about Patsy Kline, Ella Fitzgerald and other famous female singers?
All crap Mr Negative?

Re: Leona Lewis signs US record deal
The music is the goal not the money, if you don't understand I can't teach you.
Shame, you may never know what you're missing out on.

Don't be so damned condescending son. You may not have noticed, but you're not the only person on the planet.
And answer the questions as well as being your normal superior self?
