Leona Lewis wows New York

She may have been booed for failing to show at the MOBO awards in London earlier this week - but Leona Lewis got a rather more rapturous reception last night in New York.

Here she was at the 3rd Annual Hennessy Artistry Finale - nope, I have no idea what that is, either - and she took to the stage that night for her first full-length gig. Ever.

That's right: ever. Still, she apparently pulled off a blinder - although one would hope so, for something that was two years in the making - even if it was in front of "an exclusive invitation-only" crowd.

"It was clear from the moment she walked on stage in New York that the humble home-bird has taken flight and is showing her full plumage as a sexy superstar," reports The Sun. "From opener Better In Time, she gave both barrels in the grand venue fit for a Batman movie... But it was her worldwide No1 smash, Bleeding Love, that sent them wild."

Well, that and her lovely purple frock, of course. Adda girl, Leona!
