Leona Lewis - WORKING TACTICS

Leona's motivational mantra

        Leona Lewis writes words of encouragement on her hands. The Bleeding Love singer admits that she gets nervous before she performs. However, she has learned little tricks to help he stay focussed and stop letting her worries get the better of her. She said, "I try to faocus on what I'm doing . I get really nervous beforehand, but as soon as I go out, I'm kind of okay.

         Something else kind of takes over and the nerves just disappear, I think that getting up there and performing in front of thousands of people is like putting on a bit of a character. I sometimes write stuff on my hands, like words from my songs or mantras or something I've read that really helps me." Leona shot to fame after winning the talent show, The X factor, in 2006.
