leona lewis celeb blog week 1

Hey, everyone!!

It’s been my first visit to Chicago. What a beautiful city — but you really have to wrap up, v. cold!!! We arrived in on Saturday to get ready for my performance today on Oprah!

To say I was nervous would be an understatement! I am such an Oprah fan — I love the show and truly respect her and all the great charity work she does, It was a real honour to be on the show. I had tonsillitis for the whole week before, so I was desperately trying to get better in time! I was overwhelmed being at the studios — the corridors are lined with photos of just a few of Oprah’s amazing former guests!

Simon was on the show with me—was really great to see him for a catch-up! We did an interview outside the studios after the show for Entertainment Tonight, and a Chicago sightseeing bus pulled up just as we were starting— Simon got on the bus to take photos with everyone!! They loved it — it was fun!

Also on the same show as me was Jamie Oliver—he is super lovely and came to say hi and well-done afterward. I'm gonna have to try and get some good vegetarian recipes from him soon!!!

My day ended with a flight into L.A., where I'm currently writing to you from!

I'm so excited to be able to spend some time in the U.S. and showcase my music to everyone here. It’s been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, and I can't wait!!!!

Thanks to everyone for the support so far. It’s just incredible and I appreciate it so, so much.

I have a very busy week ahead here, doing photo shoots and rehearsing with my live band, but I’ll be sure to keep you updated and write more next week !!!

luv
Leona
