The Next Mariah Carey

22 Feb

I first heard about British Singer Leona Lewis on the Wendy Williams Experience. Leona was proposed to be the next Mariah Carey, more ways than one. Leona’s voice is powerful, complete with an octave range that can challenge Mariah’s, she is of mixed heritage (being half Guyanese/Afro-Caribbean on her father’s side, and half Anglo-Welsh on her mother’s side) and has had a couple number one hits (everywhere) which include a remake of Kelly Clarkson’s first single “A Moment Like This” as well as Lewis’ current hit “Bleeding Love”. Her single “Bleeding Love” has debuted in the U.S. this year, and is quickly becoming a hit, already becoming a contender on Z100′s top 9 at 9. I’ve listened to it and really love the song, and she has a great voice.

    I’ve always been cool with Mariah’s “hoochie-ness”, although I think I’m maxed out with that with her new song. I wish Mariah would mix up her current songs with some good old ballads that put her on the map in the first place.

    But I’m still voting Mariah. There’s only room for one loopy butterfly in my world.
