American Idol winner Jordin Sparks wants to record a song with X Factor winner Leona Lewis - despite losing out in their chart battle.

Sparks' track No Air was kept off the top spot in the U.S. by Lewis' Bleeding Love.

But she has no ill feelings over the defeat - and insists she would love to team up for a duet with Lewis.

Sparks says, "I met Leona right after she won The X Factor. We were recording in the same studio in the States and we got to hang out."

"It was cool because we both understood what the other one was going through and so shared a bond. I'm really proud and happy for her - even though Bleeding Love kept No Air off the No 1 spot back home."

"I haven't seen her for a couple of months but maybe we could do something together one day. There are a lot of people I'd love to work with and she'd be one."
