Successful black women

In this entry I'd like to talk about three women, or girls, because they are quite young -absolutely popular for the same reason: music. Guess who they are? Rihanna, Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys. Each one, although they look similar, are a bit different, at least when talking about musical styles. Let's see why.
Rihanna, born in 1988 (she's 20 years old), is a Barbadian singer who has become widely known for her last album "Good girl gone bad", a mixture of dance and pop which has made us dance more than one Saturday night. Who doesn't know "Umbrella", "Don't stop the music" and "Hate that I love you" with David Bisbal?
Leona Lewis is a bit older, but with only 23 years old, she is one of the most valued R&B singer -songwriter in the UK and beyond. Did you know that she was the winner of the third series of the talent show The X Factor? Of course, she has a beautiful voice and many of her songs are incredible. Just remember "Bleeding Love"
And last but not least, Alicia Keys is an American neo soul singer and songwriter, pianist and cellist. Born in Manhattan, this 27-year-old girl has sold more than 30 million albums, won 11 Grammy Awards, 17 Billboard Music Awars and many more prizes. The song "Fallin" is one of the most recognised songs.
And now your turn has arrived. Below, you can find one video of each singer, let me know your opinions about them.

Hi Patricia!

I have been liseting to some of Leona's Lewis songs and I like them a lot, I hadn't heard them before.

Moreover, I love Rihanna, she's one of my favourite singers. I had listened to Disturbia before, because I heard about the new CD, wich includes three new songs: Disturbia, Take a bow and If I never see your face again with Maroon 5. They are quite nice.

Kisses!

Although the 3 are really good, I prefer Leona Lewis, I think her songs are great, very romantic, realistic and her voice is incredible.

I don't like Rihana... xD Only two o three songs, I see her very usual. I like more Leona Lewis too, but I prefer Widney Huston.

Although I think what David Bowie is the best!! (L) and I also love his film "Labyrinth". You could talk about him or the film (Labyrinth), I'm sure that everybody had seen it when they were children.
