Leona Lewis Is The Next Mariah Carey
In 2008, Entertainment Weekly asked the question as the title of an article: “Leona Lewis: The Next Mariah Carey?” and Simon Cowell said she had the potential to be right up there with Carey after she won the UK’s “X Factor” in 2006.
”I’m aware that when you make a statement like that, you’ve got to deliver. But I believe in all my heart that she really is that good.”
