Gorgeous, exotic (mom is Welsh, dad is from Guyana) songstress Leona Lewis has taken the U.K. and Europe by storm and "American Idol's" badboy Simon Cowell has nothing but glowing compliments for the singer since she won "X-Factor", an "Idol-style" competition show. Her hit track "Bleeding Love" has topped the charts and, on April 8th, her album "Spirit", already a hit in Europe, will launch in the U.S. with two added tunes.

We chatted with Leona on the phone and found that her small, sweet, Brit-accented speaking voice nicely contrasts with the power ballad-belting sounds and huge singing range that we know she's capable of. We learned that the 22-year-old, sultry songstress has a soft, playful side. She has pictures of Bambi and Tinkerbell on her walls! Meet this friendly and impressive new voice....

TeenMusic: Your music video in the U.S. for "Bleeding Love" involves a lovers' quarrel. In your mind, what do you think they were arguing about there in Times Square? What were you guys really saying?

Leona: Yeah. You don't hear them talking. What we decided the argument was about was that I've found a girl's number and we're kind of having an argument about who is she and stuff like that. He's like 'nothing! It's fine' and I'm like 'no, it's not fine' and he's like 'well, if you don't trust me then...whatever' and he walks away.
