British singer Leona Lewis has overcome her fears of performing live and wants to go for a world tour.
The winner is disreputably shy, and up until now has managed to avoid taking her music on the road. After performing her show, Leona can't wait to get back on stage and do it all over again.
Singer told the Daily Star,"I was not nervous until I got to the side of the stage then I started shaking. I just want to do it again."
Lewis even added,"I was so worried about falling over in front of Simon during 'Outta My Head'. "I only had a day to learn the steps and I was so nervous."
She has admitted that she was terrified ahead of playing her first ever full length concert in London this week but enjoyed the experience.
"This is real life, it isn't make believe. For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them"
