I have a number of personal heroes in my life. This list includes Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Simon Cowel, the lead singer of Motion City Soundtrack, and my brother, just to name a few. But recently, someone else has had the distinct honor of joining the list. She goes by the name of Leona Lewis.
If you haven't heard of Leona Lewis by now, you should probably stop what ever you're doing and go google her. It will change your life for the better. Leona Lewis is the biggest thing currently on the air waves with her hit "Bleeding Love". Rarely do I actually listen to the radio, since my iPod has far better taste in music than any of the radio stations, but for some reason I decided to switch to the radio for a day. On my way to school, I heard Mizz Lewis and her killer song. Then, in some freak coincedence, I hear it on my way home from school! Crazy. After that, she had basically won me over.
The thing that really kills me about Mizz Lewis is the fact that she has been big over seas for over a year now, and I had never heard of her until recently. American Idol's sweetheart, Simon Cowel, actually helped Mizz Lewis get her big break in the United States. (Who knew he was actually good for anything?) At the same time, it makes me kind of sad knowing that I have to live in America with music of a lesser quality. All sorts of quality bands have come out of the United Kingdom...Oasis, The Beatles, and the Killers for instance. Then i become even more depressed when I think of all the potentially great bands i will never listen to in the UK. And to think, if we had never had the Revolutionary War, i wouldn't be in this position.
