Abstract

Piggybacking on the success of Leona Lewis's 2007 debut Spirit, Best Kept Secret is actually a demo album recorded by Lewis in early 2006, before her star-making stint on Britain's "X-Factor." Best Kept Secret was written and produced entirely by Lewis herself, and was illegally released by Juno Records two weeks after Spirit, reportedly much to the chagrin of Simon Cowell, who'd just signed Lewis to a £1 million recording contract.

I think this album was done way before Leona was on X Factor so Simon Cowell didnt discover her afterall. He did however fix it for her to win the competition thus rendering the whole competition a scam.
The only reason why they have tried to stop this album is to hide this fact.

I hope the album gets released it's about time this is much better than the Spirit nonsence.

Hey I thought the Leona worked in Pizzahut, how did she turn into a record producer.
I got this album an it's a hot album. They should have released this instead of the official Spirit album.

Yeah something don't sit right. Does that mean American Idol is a fix as well cause some of the results have been a bit suspect over the years. If they are fixing it, then shame on you Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson.
Refunds are in order

I like the new soound on the BKS it's a move away from the ballards, at least now we have something to dance to.
And Leona what happened in that new video with Chace Crawford, please leave the acting to the professionals or is your new video just another demo?

Thought that she was going to be a middle of the road bore.At least this new album has a lot of flava

I knew American Idol is a fix.
Simon Cowell is trying to makes us look like fools.
If buying this album teaches him a lesson then I'm gonna buy 2

I read several times that Leona started recording songs when she was 15, but the album was never released. Her music career looked like it was going no-where and gradually she stopped recording.
I think that probarbly after she was spotted on the show they released it seeing how good she really is. they managed to beat Simon Cowell with Spirit,so its Not realy Leona's Fault.I love allof the songs on spirit,and Run reguarly reduces to tears. Good luck Leona!
