Viva Leona!

Recently Steph introduced me to an artist I fell in love with. I think you should all check her out immediately. As Stephanie and I are currently starting a grass roots campaign to make her #2 (right after Celine)I thought I'd share a few excerpts from our conversation regarding this rising star.

Stephanie-have you heard the leona lewis song? bleeding love i think? it's so super fantastic and i believe you will/do appreciate as much as i do.

Stephanie- i heard it awhile ago and loved it but i just saw the video on perez hilton. she is so fantastic, the new celine/mariah all the way.

Stephanie- there are some absolute goose bump performances from leona on the x factor. jake and i just sat at the computer with our mouths open. amazing.

Lindsay - well clearly if this song is any indicator I am in love with her already

Stephanie- really? fantastic! her performance of all by myself is so good. just below celine's in my opinion.

Lindsay - wow that is an endorsement

Stephanie- i know right? she's that good. i bet she becomes pretty popular cuz girl can sing!

Lindsay - well I'm sold

Lindsay - we'll start our own grass roots campaign

Stephanie- leona 4 eva!

Stephanie - i'll get the shirts printed.

Lindsay - I'll make us some bumper stickers

Stephanie - november is going to be the best musical month ever. all the divas! celine, mariah, leona, love it!

Stephanie - not that leona is a diva just yet, but with some planning and earnest effort on our part she will be.

Lindsay - I think we can make this happen

Lindsay - there is nothing that the three of us can't do together

Stephanie- i could not agree more. i'll see how much a billboard will cost. you check on tv and radio time.

Lindsay- should we hire jake for PR? Sounds like he's already a fan as well?

Lindsay - he could write our press releases

Stephanie- and we'll hire people to stand on the corners with signs, like at little ceasars pizza.

Stephanie - oh yes, he's so in and got nothing but time to devote to such a worthy cause.

Stephanie - absolutely. one person not so excited? mason. apparently he would like me to feed him. he's so clingy!

Lindsay - seriously, I mean talk about needy

Stephanie- it's all about him. he's rather selfish.

Stephanie - what about my needs? and leona's?

Lindsay - You think he could take one for the team

Lindsay - especially for leona

Lindsay - I mean look at all she's given

Stephanie- i know, right? never mind the fact that i think i woke him up with the pounding bass of bleeding love.

Lindsay - all the more reason he should be thanking you

Lindsay - I'm starting to wonder about that kid

Stephanie- i know. i have got my work cut out for me. ok, let's meet up in a couple of months and get this thing going. time is of the essence.

Lindsay - yes, much planning needs to be done between then and now.

Lindsay - I'm giving my 2 week notice as we speak

Lindsay - I'll obviously need to devote my full attention

Stephanie- perfect, maybe they'll let you leave right now.

Lindsay - once they hear it's for leona

Lindsay - they won't be able to refuse me anything

Stephanie- i know, good luck. tell them it's for leona. if they don't understand, you don't need to be associating with them anyway.

Stephanie - ok, i can't wait. viva leona!
