Leona Lewis is to perform on the #1 TV show in America, American Idol. This is the show that is based off Pop Idol.

American Idol has produced winners such as Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia, and so Leona’s appearing on the premiere of the show on Wednesday is a very significant acheivement.

X Factor winner Leona Lewis is hoping to kickstart her US career by making a guest appearance on American Idol.

Having conquered the UK and topped the Number One spot since Christmas, judge Simon Cowell is reportedly hoping to showcase his latest prodigy in the States.

The singer is hoping to put an appearance in on the show when it kicks off in the US next week with a special two-part premiere.

The new series will feature 170 singers which will eventually be whittled down to the final 24.

Leona held on to the top spot in the revamped official UK chart for the second week in a row with A Moment Like This.

The X Factor winner’s debut single, which is a cover of previous American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, became the fastest-selling download of 2006.

According to the Sun’s TV editor Emma Cox, X-Factor star Leona Lewis was considering quitting music because of frustration at not ‘making it’. Leona has been trying to break into a career in music since the age of 14:

“A few months before the X Factor, I decided to give it just one more year then give up.

“So if I hadn’t got through the audition, I might be doing something else now.

“I’ve been trying to break into the record industry since I was 14.

“But it’s so hard and there were lots of times I thought, ‘Oh, I don’t know if this is going to happen’.

“This has come along at just the right time. It’s like a fairy tale — and this is the happy ending.” (The Sun, 2006)

And luckily for us, Leona gave it a year before giving up.
