Leona Lewis Sings At Clive Davis’ Star-Studded Pre-Grammy Party

Numerous stars, including "X Factor" winner, Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters and Rihanna, gathered around and performed at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Awards bash, one of  the biggest most amazing parties out there.

Famous music industry executive Clive Davis booked the finest artists to entertain his guests at what has become an institution in the music industry that is known for not just the attending stars but the collaborations between them.

Saturday's dinner and show found Quincy Jones, Puff Daddy and the Family, Carlos Santana, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Whitney Huston, Janet Jackson, Nelly and Pink rubbing shoulders with tennis star Serena Williams and Hollywood's Lindsay Lohan, Jon Voight, Tracey Ullman and Kyle MacLachlan.

Carrie Underwood showed up with "Gossip Girl" star Chase Crawford, while Ashlee Simpson and boyfriend Pete Wentz walked in arm-in-arm. Other couples included comedians Sara Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel, and Usher and his wife, Tameka, who recently gave birth to the couple's first child, a son.

Rising star Leona Lewis, whose debut album "Spirit" is to be released on April 8, was picked as the special new artist at this year’s annual pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. In previous years Maroon 5, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson, have all been honored with the title.

Taking the stage immediately after Foo Fighters, the 22-year-old starlet wowed the audience with her performance of "Bleeding Love," and "The First Time I Saw Your Face."

"I can't believe I'm here," she said onstage. "Big thank you to Clive Davis ... It's a real honor for me to be singing here and singing for everybody."

"I was immediately knocked out by her range, her versatility and the pure beauty of her voice," Davis said. "She is an artist who will be a true star for many years to come."

"Bleeding Love," which is Lewis’s second single, reached the top of the charts and became UK’s biggest-selling single in 2007 while her album also reached number one.
