British talent has always managed to hold its own across the pond, but 2008 is already proving an exceptional year for homegrown stars branching out into the US. First there was our double triumph with Tilda Swinton and Daniel Day-Lewis picking up the big prizes at this year's Oscars, and now we have our very own Leona Lewis whipping up a storm Stateside. With her insanely catchy ballad, the lovely Londoner has scored the first number one in 21 years by a female artist from the UK and now has US record bosses fighting to sign her up. And the best thing about her? She's unlikely to be hitting headlines with tales of misbehaviour. "I'm not the type of person to come stumbling out of nightclubs," she said recently. "I'll be in trouble with my dad if I get up to anything like that."Successful, talented - and cool...

Yeah, my Dad is like that too!
Hmm, I think all dads are like that aren't they?
She is still young with plenty of time for Hollyweird to beat her down and take over her soul. I hope she won't change though!
I think she is an incredibly talentedsinger, but have to say she is the ultimate manufactured artist. I'm waiting till she releases something she's written herself, then i'll make my decision about her.
