Simon Cowell reportedly believes that Leona Lewis is not ready to tour.

The X Factor supremo is said to think that Lewis does not have the confidence to play to large audiences every night at this stage in her career.

"Although Simon believes in Leona as a world-class solo singer, he still feels she does not have enough confidence to play to large crowds on her own," a source told The Sun.

"There is certainly a real art to getting the audience in the palm of your hand as entertainers such as Mariah, Robbie Williams and Elton John can do. Leona is Simon’s little baby and he is very aware of how shy she is."

It was earlier reported that Lewis will team up with Justin Timberlake to record a duet of Dolly Parton song 'I Will Always Love You'.

I wouldn't say Leona is shy anymore, I think she just lacks a bit of confidence.

Fom · 12-01-2009, 10:57 PM

I reckon Leona should open for a big superstar (like Kelly) to get her ready for her own tour.

i agree,that would definetly prepare her for her own tour.
i disagree with the article though.Leona doesnt lack confidence at all IMO.she is shy,thats obvious from her interviews but on stage shes completely different.i dont think Simon's ever actually seen her live at a concert?she dances and she gets the crowd to sing along.

I don't think Simon will ever let her be a supporting act. He probably knows putting her on her own tour will bring him in a brick load of money.

Thats the thing with performers in general that a lot of people don't get. Most performers are the same, I can be the shyest of people when I am with people I dont know... and I can be quiet and reserved. But give me a new character and make me perform, and I am the most confident person on stage. Its the same with singing, you take on a character and perform... you are not yourself.

I had a problem when teaching or giving presentations, I would get really nervous because I was myself, so from now on I play a character when doing a lesson and I don't get nervous. I think unless naturally confident, all performers do this.

Is it true the video is out this week?

robb · 15-01-2009, 03:30 PM

She performed at the Olympics in front of milllions..............the real issue is making sure she has enough material (i.e. a second album) to choose her repertoire from. Those who go on tour after one album need lots of 'padding'.

Lewis. · 18-01-2009, 12:59 AM
