Leona Lewis: ‘I’m No Pop Star’
Posted by Adam
LEONA Lewis doesn’t see herself as a pop star.
The Bleeding Love hitmaker — who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent show The X Factor in 2006 — hates the tag as she believes it takes the focus away from her profession.
“I don’t really call myself a pop star,” Leona said. “But, yeah, I enjoy doing my music, being able to travel and do my shows. I’d call myself an entertainer.”
The 24-year-old singer is one of the few UK artists to have had massive success in the US in recent years and has warned anyone who wants to follow in her footsteps their shortcomings will be unmasked if they fail to work hard.
“Just to try to make the best music you can,” Lewis said when asked to give advice on how to make it big in America.
“You’ve got to make great music and work hard. You can’t fake it over there. You have to be genuinely good and go for it.”
