Hey everyone,
Sorry its been a bit of time since I blogged last - things have been so very crazy in world Leona!!
Things are even crazier now as my FIRST album is in shops TODAY!!!! WOW!!!
Would love to know what all you guys think so get on my forum and let me know as I read it as much as I can!!!
I have so many favourites on there and every song represents a different part of me and each track is so special in some way.
I haven’t been out to see it in a shop yet but I have to go and do that later!!
Firstly I want to say the biggest thank you to everyone for all your support with my new single ‘Bleeding Love’ - 3 weeks at number 1!
It’s beyond my wildest dreams and I couldn’t have done it without all your support. Thank you!!
I found out I was number 1 while I was at London Studios recording the Divas show! I had a cake, party poppers and all my family was there so it was brilliant! I loved the Divas show and was so excited to be sharing the stage with idols of mine like Celine Dion & Alicia Keys.
I met Celine Dion at the show which was SO exciting - I got a bit starstruck and couldn’t say much! She is so beautiful and talented! I can’t wait to hear the new album. I’m so pleased i got to see her when she performed in Vegas a few months ago as its coming up to her last show now!
Last Thursday i performed at the Harpers Bazaar Party in London which was fantastic. It was a great crowd of people and when I performed ‘Bleeding Love’ they all sang along which was incredible, it was the first time I’d heard anyone sing the song back to me! The party was themed black & gold so i got to wear a brilliant Alberta Feritti black dress to party in and for my performance i went for a bright Pink Cavalli gown which was so fun to wear! Thanks Cavalli!
On Wednesday I got to perform at the Oxford Street Christmas lights switch on. SO many people came along and they even had to shut the street down! I sang ‘Bleeding Love’ and then got to actually switch the switch for the lights! - there was lots of fireworks that went off and all the beautiful lights on the street came alight - it was incredible! I then had to jet straight across to Leicester Square for the premiere of ‘Enchanted’ the new Disney movie. Disney so very kindly presented me with an animation that they designed of me - its so beautiful and I’m very honoured to have had a Disney princess made of me!! It must be every girls dream! You can see it below!
I also won my first award this week Cosmo Fun Fearless Female Awards presented me with ‘Best Newcomer’ - I was overwhelmed as the awards recognise amazing women doing brilliant things in their life, it was so inspiring being around them. Brian Freidman presented me with my Award and also Perez Hilton did a video message that really made me laugh! He’s been so amazingly supportive! Thanks Perez! Love your puppy!!! Sooo cute! Congratulations to all the other winners and big thanks to Cosmo!!
I went to Ireland on Friday to perform on The Late Late Show which was great fun - I love Ireland it’s such a fun place. Everyone is so friendly, especially the cab driver who picked me up from the gym! Hope your injury is better!!! Ha ha!
Also hello to everyone that came to the Birmingham lights on Saturday to see me perform!!! Thanks so much!
OK guys I have to go and see Mr Cowell now so until next time,
Lotsa Luv
Leona
