Her rousing performances are winning fans throughout the music industry.
And singer Leona Lewis certainly looked every inch the upcoming superstar at the filming of her new video this week.
The 21-year-old returned home to the UK to film two new videos for songs Better In Time and Footprints In The Sand, following a triumphant performance at music mogul Clive Davis' pre-Grammys party.

Her robust performance drew the attention of one seasoned onlooker, the ultimate singing diva Whitney Houston, who called Leona 'a baby me'.
Davis introduced Leona to her musical heroine - who appears to have overcome her battle with drug addiction - with the X Factor winner declaring "she looked so incredible".
On her website Leona recalled: "Clive Davis introduced us. I don't think I managed to say much though, I was overwhelmed!
