Having succeeded at taking America by storm (and surprise), "Bleeding Love" singer Leona Lewis has now conquered Australia.
Lewis—who debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart with Spirit this month, making her the first British artist to accomplish this task with a first album—performed a special showcase concert at the prestigious Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art last night.
On hand to enjoy Lewis' vocal acrobatics: Kim and Khloe Kardashian, along with a magnificent green handbag.
From all reports it was a soul-stirring performance, capped by Lewis' trademark, 23-minute klezmer rendition of Iron Butterfly's "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."*
But more than that, it was an international cultural exchange the likes of which hasn't been seen since the 1986 release of Crocodile Dundee. And it proved that we can all get along, despite the fact that toilet water in America flushes clockwise, while Australian toilets flush counterclockwise, and British bathrooms are called "water closets," which just seems odd.**
Maybe there's hope for this troubled world yet.
