Leona Lewis: I used to sing Michael Jackson songs into my hairbrush

Singer thinks he's a music legend

Thursday, 10 April 2008

Leona Lewis has admitted that she used to sing Michael Jackson hits in front of the mirror – using a hairbrush as a microphone.

The X Factor winner says she's always admired the star, and would practice for hours in her bedroom.

'I used to sing a lot of Michael Jackson songs into the hairbrush,’ she tells Now Online.

‘I feel he's still a legend. I think his performances are incredible and his shows are great.'

Leona, 22, also reveals she'd love to work with David Bowie.

‘I think he's so innovative,’ she says. ‘He was so ahead of his time and he still is.'
